Tu alojamiento en Kiso

This place locals go to for special breaks, it is rural, the transfer from train station took about 30 minutes. Our room was spacious, It had elevated sleeping area, something between bet and sleeping on the floor. Most notable was food. We stayed for two nights and had two Kaiseki-style dinners, served in dinner hall. It was 7 or so course set menu, different on two days. We also had breakfasts there also a gastronomic experience. Hotel has own Onsen bath for guests, traditionally gender separated. Special thanks to hotel's staff, who went beyond what one would expect to help us out when we departed to station without wallet. Pay-by-phone doesn't really work there. To make sure our day plans are not ruined, they took us back to hotel and to the Magome town 66km away to catch up with trail schedule.

Un hotel familiar muy educado para la vieja señora. Pero el precio no es alto. El agua caliente es realmente porque tiene pruebas de papel, pero no sé por qué tiene el sabor de agua desinfección, ¿es estimada la causa de la epidemia? La comida de la mañana y la cena puede decir que básicamente se come de la salsa y no tienes ningún deseo. La habitación (135) es super grande, todos tienen dos. El horario de reserva es de dos consejos 2400RMB, el horario de estadía trajo a un niño más, recibió 4400 yen y un Futon, y es razonable. La vieja señora que salió del negocio se envió a la puerta hasta que desaparecimos en la vista, es muy agradable. Si me dejara elegir, viviría aquí, pero no sería la cena (en la pequeña caja al lado del hotel hay una caja de vinos).

Although we booked 2 nights at Onyado Tsutaya, we were told at check-in they were full and we had been given a room in a separate building ”Annex Hatago” (across the street and a few doors down from the actual ryokan.) Given there was an actual name for the separate building, we should have been informed upon booking that we were staying elsewhere and not in the ryokan itself as we had booked. As this information was not relayed to us until check-in, we felt completely misled right from the start. If you've ever stayed in a ryokan, it is all about the atmosphere, hospitality and food. The annex is a non-descript block facing a parking lot. It has no atmosphere and it is hard to experience anything but aggravation walking up/down 2 flights of metal stairs on the outside of the building (no elevator in the annex) and across the street for dinner on a cold night in your yukata. We are fully able to climb the stairs (we walked two different sections of the Nakasendo during our stay here) - it just wasn't what we expected given the hotel indicates it has an elevator. I was also surprised to be left a placard informing us that rooms were not serviced when staying more than one night. While I am all for a green environment, daily service to the room is usually a guest's option rather than a lodging's mandate. Summing it up, no, I would not recommend a stay here as it felt like a bait and switch. Having said that, this is the first time in all my years of traveling throughout the world that I've ever experienced such deception when booking a room.

We found this hotel when looking for somewhere to stay close to the mountains and the hiking trails along Old Nakasendo, such as Magome to Tsumago and the Torii pass. The rooms were clean and had everything we needed, although the interior feels a bit outdated. The lobby offered comfortable seats to relax together, some board games, and a machine with free hot and cold drinks. Both dinner and breakfast was included and served as a Japanes style multi course menu. This was a wonderful experience and something we really enjoyed! Our host was very helpful by introducing the dishes and explaining how and in what order to eat them. We also enjoyed the complimentary hot baths, which work similar to every other onsen we visited in Japan. This was a great way to relax in the afternoon after the hike. The hotel is a 15 minute drive from Kiso-Fukushima station (where all local and express trains stop). The complimentary hotel shuttle bus made it easy to get to the station in the morning and back to the hotel in the afternoon. If you already have your hiking boots on, it is also possible to walk to the hotel via a beautiful scenic road from the local train station Harano in around 60 minutes. The hotel staff was great, very friendly, and doing everything to make our stay comfortable despite not everyone being fluent in English. For example, on our way to the station the shuttle bus driver noticed that there was a youth sumo wrestling competition held in a large tent along the road, and stopped for a few minutes to give us a chance to enjoy it.

２ Es la segunda vez que se utiliza. El edificio es un poco viejo, pero limpio. Me siento muy entusiasta, es un alojamiento muy cómodo. Bebamos, todos los pisos tienen servidores de agua, sala de charlas, anillos de caricatura gratuitos, masajes gratuitos. Ropa de cama, toallas, abrasivos pueden elegir. La habitación tiene un aseo y un turbo. Si es un paquete estándar, la cena es de 2000 yenes y el desayuno es de 1000 yenes. Sin embargo, creo que es mejor que los huéspedes lean, pero hay dos lugares donde esperar mejorar. Cuando se queda por primera vez, puede ser porque se queda de día, la ama de 々 se salió y es muy feliz. La segunda vez que estuve en el restaurante, puede ser porque estuve en el sábado. Cuando iba a cenar, ya puse el aire libre (el día es pez lleno) en la mesa, y todavía queda un poco cálido, pero en el restaurante, todavía me siento muy cómodo, pero en el restaurante, todavía me siento muy cómodo, pero, Siento que es muy cómodo, pero aún me siento muy cómodo, así que aún me siento cómodo, pero aún siento que estamos cinco minutos antes de comer, así que creo que nos quedará frío cuando nos sentamos. Esta es una visión natural en un hotel común de bajo precio. No importa lo bajo que sea, no creo que ningún huésped esté dispuesto a comer alimentos fritos. Aunque no sea duro, se debe tomar comida frita, incluso para ser usado como animal de estimación o para pasteles. Porque hay microondas automáticas, es mejor calentar un poco, pero hay salsa en el pez frito, así que se come. El desayuno también tiene frío y un poco de huevos, así que se come en el rango. Aún tiene un sabor muy bueno después de calentar. Y uno. Incluso si quieres quedarme, sólo hay una sala de fumadores, me rendiré varias veces. 1F Hay una sala de fumadores, también hay una sala de fumadores fuera de la habitación, así que espero que todos puedan prohibir el tabaco en toda la habitación. En cualquier caso, porque es mi hotel favorito, así que quiero quedarme otra vez.

The staff really went above and beyond to make two ignorant Canadian tourists feel extremely welcome at a traditional Japanese Ryuken. Though there was a small language barrier, we never felt that we could not communicate our needs. The hot and cold onsen was very refreshing after walking post towns along the Nakasendo Way. The river next to the hotel made for a relaxing experience and deep sleep. Somehow, I missed the option when booking to select the dinner option, there is really no other food options in the area, and the clerk (owner) said he would put a 'simple meal' together for us for a small charge which we found acceptable. The kaiseki that followed was some of the best and most authentic Japanese food we experienced in our two weeks in Japan. The woman serving us was an absolute gem and the cat that ran the establishment was adorable. Our room was very comfortable and had a nice sitting area with a view of the river. Only points of contention would be that that it's a little out of the way if you don't have a car, but is conveniently accessable by bus with ~10 minute walk. The facilities are a little dated, the onsen is discoloured, but I assume that is from the natural minerals. There was a stale smell (smoke) in the rooms which is a bit off-putting to non-smokers. It would appear smoking is allowed in the facility which might be a plus to some.
