Nagataki

攜程要改一下名字，我真以為是一間榻榻米屋子，結果是一棟獨立日式木屋，情侶家人旅遊住着超完美，平成天皇還是皇太子時期也來這住過，在山裡麪非常親近自然，但一個人住晚上有些嚇人😟。食物超好吃，超越了我對日餐的期待。

難忘的，卓越的，有深厚情感的

Nagataki was perhaps the highlight accom of our whole 2.5 week Japan journey. It cost more than any of our other accommodation but it was worth it as our 2 nights here were so memorable. Our 200 year old traditional house was full of character with a beautiful view and so spacious and with modern bathroom - even had hosted a Japanese Emperor! We read some reviews that said it was cold but with the ample heaters on before we entered every day and hot water bottles delivered each evening for our warm comfy futons, we were so cosy and never cold despite wintery conditions outside. The included food by chef Maseyo was incredible- such skillful traditional sushi and dishes using local unique fruits, vegetables and fish and so ample (7-10 courses each breakfast and dinner!). And he created amazing creative vegetarian alternatives for me while my partner ate the full range and we both loved every dish - and the warm sake! Maseyo speaks excellent english and is descended from a long family line running this historical Ryokan hundreds of years. The woman who brought us most of our meals and helped show us how to wear our yukatas (belted up with a resounding “CHOTO!!”) was so lovely and had a great sense of humour. Such warm and genuine hospitality. We had the onsen set in the beautiful grounds and facing the forest all to ourselves and that was such an unmissable relaxing treat every morning. We could have happily stayed reading and relaxing in our room and soaking in the onsen the whole time, but we also really loved exploring the surrounding area with drop off and pick up to the train station by the accommodation and great suggestions for what to see from Maseyo. Perfect authentic place to begin (or end) walking the Nakasendo trail. We definitely will go back one day!

Exceptional service and a beautiful location. Came with my family to celebrate a birthday and the experience was fantastic. Staff was attentive, onsen beautiful, meal bountiful and delicious. Always expect great service in Japan, but this was unsurpassed.

We had an unforgettable stay at Nagataki. The staff is so gracious, extending such warm hospitality from our pickup at the train station, luggage transport to our house, yakata dressing assistance, dinner and breakfast service, and dropoff in Magome. One staff member even gave my daughter an excellent in-room massage after dinner, capping off a relaxing evening. Our 100-year-old house was charming, with not only a kotatsu and irori inside but also beautiful views of the mountains outside. My only suggestion would be to replace the kerosene heater with an electric one so avoid the odor.

This special hotel is located on the hillside above Nakatsugawa. Our family stayed in a separate building consisting of multiple small rooms, bathroom, bedrooms and common area. There also is a shared onsen for guests, separate for males and females. The staff are friendly and provide very comfortable service in a not-too-formal atmosphere. The food was fantastic — some of the best we’ve had in Japan. The hotel has lovely gardens that must be beautiful when in bloom.

We spent a lovely night here while walking the Nakasendo Way. We enjoyed the cultural experience - the food, the rooms, the grounds and the view from them were all amazing. And the staff went over and above to make sure we had the best opportunity to appreciate Japanese culture. Our host, Mr Masaya Yoshida, was generous and attentive.

This ryokan was wonderful! The rooms were so charming, and the open air onsen, which looked out into the autumnal colors, was exquisite. The highlight was garden. The owner, Masai Yoshida, was very helpful and spoke excellent English.

Fantastic location amongst beautiful gardens. The owner Mayasaysan is extremely helpful, meeting and greeting all his guests as well as being an amazing chef. This is a family business which has extremely authentic accommodation with each guest having their own hut-building separated by gardens so maximum privacy is ensured. You have the option of using your own bathroom or using the shared onsen. A delicious meal was enjoyed thanks to Masayason’s cooking skills. For those walking the Nakasendo Way this is a great recharge location and there is the hotel bus to take you to Ochiai to start your next day’s walk if you do not wish to do the 4kms of road walking to get to Ochiai. A really relaxing stay and I sincere hope this property can stay on the family for years to come, as it has done for over a couple of hundred years already. Thanks for a wonderful experience.
