Find Places to Stay in Nagiso, Kiso District on Airbnb

A dream location. The place is truly traditional, while still offering modern conveniences of Wifi and heating. The house is close to the station (for those who wish to travel to Magome/Tsumago), but Nojiri also holds several landmarks for those interested in exploring the local area (Such as the Ravine, the Shrine, etc). The surrounding environment is a beauty in of itself. Total respect has to go to the hosts, who have gone over and above to let us feel familar and at home with the environment. We arrived on rather extraordinary circumstances, but they were more than willing to help us through complications faced, and we are truly thankful for their patience and generousity. We encourage anyone and everyone to visit Kiso Valley at least once, and we hope they stay at this house in doing do.

There was a space like a Ghibli movie, and I felt relaxed. The host was very good and I could relax with very little interference. We also enjoyed grilling fish and meat in the hearth

The Kiso valley was not on our list of must sees, but now that we have visited, we cannot wait to return. The town is pure magic, with a small population of the nicest people we have ever met. Especially our host. She was so warm and made this incredible, historic house a home. From the moment we arrived until the moment we left (too soon!) we felt taken care of, and in awe of the beautiful surroundings. We ate amazing food in town, took a long gorgeous hike through the mountains, and slept peacefully in the loft (thanks to our warm yutanpo!) We can not recommend this house and this special area of Japan enough.

Miwa’s place was a dream. It was cozy and relaxing and easy to walk around the town. While it was cold, there were more than enough blankets and each night Miwa’s mom brought us hot water bottles to warm our bed. It was a short train ride away from the nakasendo trail- which we loved as the town of Nojiri was very quaint. Her parents are incredibly kind. They surprised us by picking us up at the station. My husband accidentally forgot his fiddle on the train and Miwa’s mom coordinated with the station to hold it for us, then her father drove 40 minutes each way to pick it up. It was so incredibly kind. This town & Miwas place was a welcome relaxation after leaving the bustle of Tokyo. I highly recommend this gem!!!!

Miwa’s house is gorgeous and filled with character. Her mother who lives next door is lovely and very hospitable. I would absolutely love to visit again.

As with pretty much all the reviews a pretty special place, very well located, just be sure to check train times as they are infrequent but with a bit of planning well timed.

A nice place to stay while exploring Kiso valley / Naksendo trail. Miwa is responsive and her lovely parents invited us to do some shower at theirs nearby home... It's an authentic Japanese house... Unique experience indeed.

A wonderful experience in the Kiso Valley. The valley itself is really beautiful with so much to see and do, but to stay at Miwa adds a whole new dimension! The house is traditional and intriguing. With an original irori in the main room and plenty of space. Even a real toilet! Heaps of bedding and a well equipped kitchen. But if Miwa’s mother, MISA, cooks for you will never need to use the kitchen. Her meals are wonderful and such good value! Easy to get to Nakasendo trail, Magome, etc. Station is only 10 minute easy walk away. Highly recommended!

This place is amazing. Super clean, good amenities, good location and really nice personnel. 100% recommended.

A great journey. Amazing staff. So cool to meet wonderful people in such a great and unique place! We loved it!

This hostel is definitely the best one I've ever stayed. First, the location of the hostel is a bit far from the main street in Magome-Juku, only 5-10 mins walk, but it turns out that the hostel is a quiet and calm place to take a rest. The hostel was used to be an elementary school which was closed and renovated for hostel, so you can see many traces that makes feel kind of nostalgia. . They offer a ride to go to Onsen resort nearby and you can get a discount for admission.Also the staff know a lot about local souvenirs, how to visit some sightseeing spots, and so on.I purchased bottles of sake that one of them recommended, which was very nice. They also provide some breakfast for free in the morning, which is very helpful because there are few cafes and convenience stores that open early in the morning. I'd like stay at Gaku if I visit Magome-juku again.Highly recommended. The hostel that has stopped so far is the best hostel with both excellent service and cleanliness. It happened to be a corner cabin, so there was more private space than other guests, which helped me to change clothes and put things. Although it is a little off the streets of Mabuku-juku, it was within walking distance, and I was able to spend a quiet and calm atmosphere. The facility was renovated from an abandoned elementary school, so elementary school classrooms and corridors were left behind, and the wood-grained interior was very warm and relaxing. In the lounge, there were origami papers and coffee drinkers, making it easy for guests to communicate with each other and enjoyed conversations with foreign travelers. Many of the staff were friendly and sent me to a nearby hot spring or taught me some recommended sake. I would also like to stay if I visit Magome-juku again. I'm really thankful to you.

Really good place to stay in Magome. When we arrived, we got given the option of booking dinner at this one restaurant (all other restaurants close at 6pm in Magome) and I'd really recommend it. It was probably one of the best dinners we had during our trip! Would stay again!

The place located in the small village. Very nice and quiet location with all facilities you need. The staffs there are all friendly and good speaking in English. Wonderful guest house with lovely people!

It was our first time in sleeping in capsule like beds. Comfy beds within a 10 or 12 person dorm. We were there in late October so it wasn’t overly busy with guests which made it nice and quiet. Huge kitchen area to cook your own meals and meet other guests. 7-8min walk into the Main Street into town. Highly recommend doing the magome-Tsumago hike. It took us around 3 hrs with plenty of stops along the way to take in the views. You can forward your luggage on at the bus stop for 1000yen per bag. As for the nightlife, there is completely nothing. Overall a lovely little town and probably only the one night night needed.

Overall, a great place to stay

This is frankly one of the best bed and breakfast my boyfriend and I have ever been to. The hosts will kindly answer all your questions, the space is big and clean, and the showers are amazing (yes, really haha). They also serve breakfast in the morning for free, which is great since it is a little far from the rest of Magome. I truly recommend this stay.

Lovely quiet place. It’s spacious and exactly what we wanted when we made our booking. The hosts (especially Leo) are friendly and does their best to ensure that we are comfortable and got what we needed.

This house and hosts are gem! The house is really antique with awesome atmosphere. Hosting families are beautiful. You will also meet young Leo who will professionally show you around while checking in :) Strongly recommend to the future guests.

Misaki’s place is great place for get away from busy Tokyo. Her family is very sweet and enjoy staying with little Leo ( the baby manager 👶🏻)and cute little Roy👶🏻. They gave tips to travel around Magome- juku and Tsumago-juku. The place is cozy and warm. Easy to communicate via airbnb. Tip for traveling around Magome and Tsumago- always check train/ bus time table as there are only few running around the area.

Such a lovely home in a beautiful quiet area. Great communication. We hope to return one day!

The host family was very friendly and they were very helpful in giving us local tips. The house was very clean and the room was big and sound proof. Misaki’s English was excellent and we would definitely love to come visit again!

The house was lovely, clean, and cosy. The town is cute and Misaki was very kind and helpful with recommendations. The whole stay was great but a special shout out to little Leo who stole all of our hearts 😀

Misaki and her family are wonderful and kind people, and their home is lovely. I stayed for a few days, and really felt at home there. Sakashita is full of kind and interesting people as well. I was overcome by how helpful everyone was. Just a really great place.

Misaki and her lovely family know about hospitality. She will give you the best tips to enjoy the surrounding while making you feel at home. We really loved our stay there and highly recommand it. Also, don't miss a stop at the vinyl café for a truely local and unique experience.

Great place to stay if heading for the Nakasendo trail. The hosts were attentive and courteous and the room itself is very nice. Would recommend!

A very unusual accommodation in a village in the middle of the Japanese Alps! Breathtaking scenery and very well equipped accommodation. Station located 4min walk, Nagoya at 1:30 and Kiso-fukushima 50min you have something in the surroundings :) Have a nice stay! Arigato gosaimasu Takashi-san

Even 10 people had a valuable experience in a spacious private house! We have cooking utensils and towels. The starry sky is perfect.

This was such a marvelous stay. The 150 year old house is incredibly well preserved with a modern touch. Aya was very responsive and helpful every step of the way. She helped with transportation and booking dinner reservations. She was very accommodating to allow for my dog as well. 5 stars all around.

It was a very clean and stylish space. I was able to spend more comfortably than expected. Since cooking utensils were also available, you can buy pots and so on. A pretty beautiful star was seen from the parking lot. Because there is a heater and kotatsu, you can get enough warmth without heating.

It was very good.

This is a wonderful house and a unique chance to spend time in a lovely piece ofJapan's history. Nagiso-machi is beautiful and a great base for exploring the area.

Wonderful space and surroundings. Beware the kitchen table is on unsure footing. Unfortunately we did not arrive early enough to explore the area around Kashiwaya and there was no flexibility given for later shuttle to the station. We did however go down to Kiso river after leaving our luggage at the station and what a magic experience that was. Also, at the station we met other travellers, a young couple, who had a nasty meeting with an aggressive monkey on the bridge that ended well, thanks to some proper defence moves with... an umbrella.

The space is much higher than expected!

A very authentic Japan experience. We loved our stay here and were very happy with the amenities. Two toilets instead of the one we expected was a nice surprise. Lots of hot water in shower too! The trips to the train/bus station were greatly appreciated. Would love to return!

The host was very kind and the space was wonderful! ! The heating was excellent and it was not cold at all even in the winter.

The house was quite spacious and it was a stylish space with records and projectors! It was a cold stay, but there was a stove and I was not bothered by the cold. Next time I want to go play in the warm season! !

Cleaning was perfect in a stylish room. Sota's hospitality was wonderful and impressive. BBQ facilities are also available and the stars look beautiful so it is highly recommended.

The whole room is kept very clean and the amenities and services are good and you can enjoy it quite comfortably! It was very close to the sightseeing area near Ena Station, and it was very good to go back to the room after sightseeing the city and enjoy a relaxing drink in a stylish space.

It was one of the best rooms I have ever stayed at Airbnb, including not just making my own reservations! The facilities were abundant, the rooms were clean, and the starry sky was the best. I highly recommend it.

The owner and his family gave us a courteous response, including directions to where they wanted to go and event information. I'm really thankful to you.

Exceptional home and very comfortable and warm home for two families with 4 children. Evening with Miles Davis on a platinum ... and excellent restaurant just 140 meters from the house. One regret: only stay one night!

It was fashionable.

it is a nice cosy place to stay. the space maybe not very big for Western. but other than that is great. recommended.

it is good

It’s a good place just alittle quiet which can be good for some

A very nice place, I recommend it!

Nice place, impeccable, friendly, effective staff. Historic and beautiful surroundings! You can not ask for more!

Nice space in a cool old building, convenient location.

Everything was fine, clean and just as expected. I recommend Matsushita as host !

You can stay in a beautiful old private house in a town full of atmosphere of a post town. The inside is clean and renovated. There are lots of calming spaces that may be open at cafes in the daytime.

Very easy to spend and repeat.

Fantastic place to stay, for a couples familys or groups! Host was very helpful and location easy to find! House and amenities were sparkiling clean and there is a coin laundry next to the house (byo washing detergent).

I stayed with 7 people this time, but the room was large enough. There was a living room and a kitchen where everyone could sit and talk in addition to the bedroom, and there were tableware, so it was not a problem even if we stayed overnight. When I arrived in the room, there was a futon in the bedroom and I was able to rest comfortably. I would like to use it again.

It was a very nice place owned by a very nice host. We received a warm welcome even for a late check-in and a last minute reservation. We had all we needed. Do not hesitate.

It was a very nice inn. Thank you for your quick response!

Shige was a great host. He took care of me and made sure I was safe during a bad typhoon (Hagibis). He recommended a local sushi restaurant with a great chef, excellent food and reasonably priced. I could not expect better hospitality. The house was clean with all amenities and very comfortable. Check in and out was quick and easy. Not very far from the train station and near to a bus stop. I would definitely stay here again.

We only stayed here for one night, but it was a great stay. The hosts were very kind and attentive, the rooms were clean and comfortable. The location was very convenient for us.

It was the second time for the group to use it, but it was very helpful for me to respond carefully to changes in the number of people just before. The facilities were clean and relaxing.

This time, we stayed with Wanchan, but we were very grateful to have the preparations and free time for check-in and out! Chiyoko was very friendly and kindly answered questions while welcoming us with the green tea. The heating was only a heater and a kotatsu, but the room quickly became warm. Thank you very much.

This is a perfect spot for a budget fly drive through the kiso mountains. It’s a good base to explore the area, but you do really need a car to get around, as it is a good 30 minute walk from the station (and from any restaurants/ Onsen). Chimiko is a great host, she does all she can to help and brings fresh tea in the evenings. Staying here was like staying with your Japanese grandma :). The mini-apartment was perfect for some peace and quiet after a day’s hiking. There are a few bugs, and it looks a little tired, but this is all part of rural japan’s charm. Thank you for looking after us!

My partner and I had a very cosy stay at mutsuo minshuku. Chiyoko san was very friendly and made us feel right at home. Her home in the mountains was beautiful to wake up to.

The apartment is wonderfully rustic and quaint, especially so given the fairy tale surroundings of Kiso. Chiyoko-san is a dear woman, one of the kindest we met on our trip, and she looks forward to getting to know every single person who visits her place. We loved our visit to Kisofukushima more than a lot of the beautiful places we saw in Japan, and that's in no small part thanks to the locals like Chiyoko-san, who are all so welcoming. P.s. Check out Izakaya Chikara for even more of that welcoming charm and some fantastic food (Masa-san, the owner, speaks fluent english and tells fantastic stories alongside his mother, Yoko-san, who is a character and one of my favorite people ever).

Very charming and friendly host. Made me a cup of tea and we had a good chat with the translator app. Had entire annexe to myself. Very comfortable and slept extremely well. Great value.

It is located in a very natural place. In summer, there are many bugs. However, I liked Chiyuko's personality and the room with nostalgic drift very much! I will visit again someday.

Misty mysterious shack in the mountains with a wonderful energetic host who carries trays of tea up narrow stairs just to be hospitable.

It is an entire, beautiful flat for yourself. The location requuires a little walk from the station, but it is a very beautiful spot in Kiso Valley! Considering what you get, the price is very cheap. The owner is a very friendly and capable woman. Her English is limited, but she manages to get everything across using Google translate, so no problem there. Great place to relax and enjoy Japanese nature (you mind encounter a few insects). I can recommend it!

Very good, nice hostess. Very willing to help.

Emi's guesthouse was squeaky clean and very cosy. Feels like home! Superbly maintained facilities and amenities provided definitely made our stay an enjoyable one. Emi was also very helpful and gave a lot of good travel recommendations. If it weren't for her advice, we wouldn't have had enjoyed the rainy weather. Highly recommended!

A very good living experience, for a student studying in Japan, Emiさん's home has a very warm and warm feeling. Regarding the itinerary, the landlord is also very warm and gives advice. This time we went to see the beautiful sky of Azhi Village, but the viewing place of the starry sky is far from the residence of the hotel. When we go, we only spend two hundred yen but there is no bus on the return journey. We can only book a taxi in advance. This is also thanks to Emiさん telling us in advance how to contact the taxi. However, this time there is a small regret, that is, there is no time to go to the nearby "Mengmeng Kaiping Peace Memorial Hall", if there is a chance, it will come over to make up for the regret. Overall, it was a great experience. If the later visitors do not speak Japanese, they can also communicate with the landlord in English or French.

We were very kind to respond and taught various sightseeing spots! I will use it again!

I think it is a guest house where the word “at home” looks better than anything else. I was surprised to hear from my family, I was a little surprised Also, I think that I will stay for a long time!

Emi is a very nice person, hospitable, caring for the guests, like a family. The rooms are also clean and spotless, and everything is available. Convenience stores and supermarkets are very convenient nearby, and the 100+ year-old fruit shop tastes delicious. Next time I come to Azhi Village, I will definitely choose her house. By the way, I remind you that the location of Google Maps is not accurate. It takes 8-10 minutes to walk from the station to her house. The map can be displayed very far. I must contact Emi after booking.

Emi is very enthusiastic! Every time I sent a message, I replied very quickly. I also gave us a lot of recommendations and drove us to the museum. The room is in a good location, very close to the station and Rosen. The starry sky at night is also very good, and Emi also left us a door.みんなの素敵な家です!

very nice place.And very nice landlord

Chiyoko-san is very helpful and did her best to make me comfortable. She is a very caring person ! And her cat is lovely! I had two spacious room - with tatami floor and futon bed. After a very cold day the hot bath prepared by her was a blessing ! The house is huge and old , and very traditional. It has its history ,for sure. The house is 5 -7 minutes from railway station by taxi, 30 minutes on foot. Better get a taxi. Thank you so much, dear Chiyoko-san! You are in my heart ❤

Great place with a lovely host! <3

Chiyoko-san is simply amazing and this place is as authentic as it gets. The house is old and maybe because it has not been renovated recently it adds even more to this feel. We definitely felt at home but not only that. We were treated with kindness, care and great professionalism by this golden hearted humble, 100% dedicated and deeply wise being called Chiyoko-san. This is a real Japanese inn in the truest sense of the word (including the mountain creek speeding and singing by the house) and expect to feel very welcome even if you just landed in this foreign culture and you do not know any other word than arigato. I had the luxury of my partner translating at times (he knows to speak a bit of Japanese) but most of the communication is done through actions in Japan and the actions of this lady made me feel like a real Japanese staying at this inn some 100 years ago. We wholeheartedly appreciate this house, the grounds and the soul taking care of it all. We are also in aw at her professionalism, dedication and integrity. She is indeed practicing through her every day work the spiritual values of this ancient culture. We took taxi to the soba restaurant she recommended were you can sit European stile or Japanese (they also have menu in English). After we did some shopping in the wonderful lacquer shop on the other side of the street as well as Japanese and European stile sweets on the way. All was good and perfect. It is not far to walk home. After the station make sure to take right (just before the bridge made by the bigger road above) by the map showing shrines in the area, then left when the little street ends and then right again along the high-way until you get to the gas station where you cross the street and walk up along the highly charming winding path to the house.

This was an amazing experience that we will never forget! *

Very unique experience, Chiyoko was very welcoming even though we arrived pretty late because of train delays.

My family loved their stay at Chiyoko sans place. It is a traditional Japanese minshuku and Chiyoko was a very kind host. It is quite an old house so do not go expecting all new and modern facilities. It was a great base to explore the surrounding areas for which I would certainly recommend a car.

Chiyoko-san's place is wonderfully located in a forrest on the foot of a mountain and offers many opportunities to walk and hike. It very spacious with all the amenities one would need, and really exceeded my expectations. Chiyoko-san is a fantastic host. I can highly recommend this place, especially to anyone who is looking to get out of big cities, and experience the beautiful nature Japan has to offer

Thank you

comfortable!

The space is quite large as if you had rented a house. There is a living room so it is recommended for groups.

You can spend comfortably in a spacious room.

The room was clean and spacious so it was very comfortable. Convenience store is very convenient within 5 minutes by car.

You have to stay at this guesthouse if you travel Gifu. Everything in the guesthouse looked the same I expected. And Shige provided transportation between the guesthouse and Ena station when he was free. Definitely I would stay at this guesthouse if I travel around Gifu and Nagoya.

It's a great place. Nice and quiet and an ideal location if you have a hire car. It's got a functional kitchen space, a nice big bathroom and there's a lot to see in surrounding areas. Visitors should note that the laundry is separate and coin operated. The double beds are also a thin futon mattress on a hard base. This is standard in Japan but a note for people used to western style sleeping arrangements.

Shige's place is excellent in all aspects. Clean, spacious and comfortable with everything we needed. He has for us also been the best host one could wish for helping us with transort where it was needed and giving advice on the area. Thank you Shige you are the best!

I am so thankful that there is Airbnb in the countryside so it is near my boyfriend's house. I turned on the heater and used it warmly. Thank you

I borrowed this house about an hour away for the purpose of paradise in the sky of Achi Village. The weather was so bad that I couldn't see the stars on the top of the mountain. There are plenty of facilities and I am satisfied!

It was very helpful to respond promptly to previous / immediate inquiries. In addition to having a space for BBQ and fireworks, we were able to enjoy karaoke and had a great time. As for the room, there are large baths and futons available for the number of people, and amenities are also perfect. Although it is difficult to go only by car in the location and the night is dark and the convenience store is a bit far away, I think that such a experience can only be done in the countryside. I could see the stars very beautifully and made fun memories with my peers for two days. Is it a local specialty at the end? Thank you so much for visiting Castella.

I was grateful for the quick response and the response at checkout! Although it rained, it was possible to have a barbecue!

The cospa was good, the atmosphere was good, the amenities were good, and the service was good! Enjoyed

During the stay, everything I thought would be nice was prepared and I was able to spend it comfortably. I felt warm and worried. Also, the view from the deck was the best in the daytime, beautiful summer sky, mountain range, fields, beautiful moon at night, glitter stars. Bravo! Cottage Iwamura! Bravo! Iwamura! I'll be happy again. Thank you!

Unfortunately, it was raining on the first day of the stay, but there were many things that could be enjoyed indoors, such as karaoke, mahjong, and card games. We are saved a little. It was a place rich in nature and there was a beautiful river nearby, so it was refreshing. I would like to use it again next time (* ˊ˘ˋ *). ♪: Thank you for * °.

As you can see in the photo, there were lots of greenery. BBQ was right next to the kitchen, so it was smooth and very easy to get ready and get a drink! Supermarkets and convenience stores were just a short drive away, so there was no problem. (Although it is impossible to walk) I hunted grapes in the Nakatsu River and used them. If you are traveling in the Ena and Nakatsugawa areas, it is highly recommended.

There are various facilities, and my child and nephew enjoyed talking in a different space than usual! I enjoyed it with BBQ and karaoke! Thank you for two days!

This time, I stayed for 3 nights and 4 days to relax with my family. Both rooms were clean and air-conditioned, so they were comfortable. In the bedroom, I could see the starry sky while sleeping without closing the curtains. At night, the coffee I had was ground and my 4-year-old daughter gave me oranges, and I had a lot of fun talking with Toshi and Map about the trip and talking with them. Both of us stayed for 3 nights in a very gentle person with an atmospheric appearance and it felt like a family and I missed it very much. My daughter also worried about Toshi and Map and what they are doing now. I was I would like to see you again if you have the chance to go there. I was taken care of for four days. Thank you ♪

Breakfast is full and full! Homemade jam was delicious. He was kind and talked a lot.

We had you cope with check-in late at night. The hosts were very warm and very pleasant.

Toshi and Map were amazing hosts. We loved their beautiful house, delicious breakfasts, and their outstanding hospitality. Map’s homemade jam was amazing! Definitely would recommend, especially if you want to experience rural Japan!

Toshiさん and Mapさん were the most warm and welcoming hosts with a beautiful home! We arrived very late in the night and Toshiさん stayed up to make sure we got there safe and sound. Their house is situated in the beautiful Japanese alps so we woke up to an amazing view. Mapさん also made us a delicious breakfast with homemade jam, so we felt very taken cared of. If you ever visit Nagano I definitely recommend staying with Toshiさん and Mapさん! 長野に行ったら、ToshiさんとMapさんの家をお勧めます！

The schedule was pushed, and despite the late check-in at night, we were greeted with a welcome and in the morning we had a delicious breakfast with homemade jam. It was a really nice place to see the beautiful starry sky you were looking for! Thank you very much.

Suddenly, I spent 6 nights with my dog, Toy Pooh, using the year-end and New Year holidays. Picking up, shopping, returning, etc. Toshi-san got out of the car and was very helpful. We were healed by the beautiful mountains, the starry sky, the air, and above all, the warmth of Toshi and Map. Map's homemade jam, ozoni, and zenzai were all very delicious. Please revisit when you visit Minami Shinshu. Thank you

It was a great location surrounded by the Alps! ! Host Katagiri was a very nice couple and it was a really good memory (^^) Freshly picked herbal tea was the best! If there is another opportunity, I would like to use it.

Mika’s place is wonderful. Clean, beautiful, and she is all together a very lovely young woman. Helpful, available, responsive, friendly, and extremely welcoming. I highly recommend her place to everyone who wishes to have a unique & memorable experience in Japan.

Great room in a very nice hostel! Everything was very clean. Mika was very helpful and gave us some great tips.

Definitely worth staying here if you're planning on trekking from magome to tsumago

Beautiful traditional modern Japanese Guesthouse located on the main strip in the middle of the village. Highly recommend Mika’s, her breakfast was better than expected.

An amazing place! Right on the Nakasendo trail, in the heart of Magome, this house is beautiful and has everything you need. Mika was very kind and helpful. We won't forget this unique experience!

Mika was a great host - the space was beautiful and she was quick to respond to all our questions, as well as book us into dinner at the local restaurant. We made an early departure to get started on the walk to Tsumago early and Mika was already up and had breakfast organised! So thoughtful. Would highly recommend!

Nedoko is a place with a very relaxing atmosphere. Whether you want to go hiking, or just enjoy some peace and calmness in a Japanese rural village, this is the place to go. The mix of modern and traditional inside the place is amazing! Everything was super clean and very tidy. Mika and her husband are great hosts!

The place was great, the surroundings awesome. Mika was very hospitable. Made us a reservation in the restaurant

It was really a great experience. The house is beautiful and the interior is cozy, comfortable and tidy. We arrived relatively late, and the landlord couple immediately asked about our needs, and helped us to inquire about the hot spring baths that will be open later, and borrowed shampoo and shower gel for us. It was really intimate to introduce us to the open-air hot springs and restaurants that suit our time schedule and preferences the next day. The next day also helped us store our luggage. The two are very kind and attentive. Living here is a great experience on this trip. Super recommended ❤️

Very good Japanese-style hotel, it is easy to walk from Gero Station for a while. The boss and his wife warmly and carefully introduce the various bathing points. Gero is small but worth staying for two or more nights to relax. Hida discount from the boss The coupon is also very good. The beef is a certified Hida beef. The leisure space on the first floor is very spacious. Come to live in this place and experience different styles every day. I recommend this place!

I highly recommend this place! It's at a great location that we could walk some Onsen and restaurants so easily.And the host and their hospitality was so nice.Quick response and they gave us some local information. The location and the host were also very good. The response is wonderful and you can know local information. It is recommended for those who want to go out and enjoy the hot spring town rather than spending time at the inn!

Amazing experience! So friendly and helpful. The food was incredible and the room was gorgeous. Very serene setting in the woods. The wonderful couple helped us with almost everything. We could not have asked for a better place to stay.

AMAZING experience! This ryokun was the perfect stay! The ryokun is beautiful, spacious, and clean. The onsens were also very clean and we spent hours in them throughout our stay. We left the place feeling relaxed and at peace. The outdoor onsens are right next to a waterfall, the natural sounds from the waterfall combined with the onsen's hot spring water made everything perfect! Miyoharu and his wife provide excellent service. He picked us up from the train station and even picked us up from Tsumago after we were out exploring all day. The dinner and breakfast dishes they prepared were absolutely delicious and filling - it was awesome getting to try a traditional Japanese home cooked meal. Highly recommend this Airbnb!

This place is magical. I almost don't want to get too much into detail so that you'll get the full effect of the surprise of it. But this is a review, so I will give away: the view is spectacular, and the food is incredible. This will definitely be one of the highlights of your trip to Japan. And thanks again to our wonderful hosts!

Miyoharu was a wonderful host. We arrived late afternoon and he greeted us and showed us around. The inn is really lovely - the onsen next to the waterfall is outstanding!!! The meals were really lovely and the hosts were very thoughtful in showing us local stores we asked about and making life easy for travellers with a young daughter along for the trip. The local postal towns of Magome and Tsumago on the Nakasendo way are really beautiful. A great experience.

Excellent! Great food, private bath and whole ryokan just for us! If you are looking for a quiet and private holiday spot there is no better!

The place is very beautiful. Inside the house is well structured is original. The Japanese style bedroom and living room is of good quality. Onsen inside and outside very pleasant. The meal served on a table with central Japanese barbecue. Food and preparation of good level. And we tasted a Japanese white wine with original scents that was good. I recommend the address

It is a unique experience and place to stay in this place. Koda and Kero-san give us a tour around Nakasendo and provide a few tips for us to visit in Ena. They are great host. Our family enjoy the walk around the area.

Wow! This was a fantastic surprise on our trip! We were able to explore this area with Koda’s expert guidance and suggestions! We are so grateful for their wonderful care and hospitality. The place itself is also phenomenal. It is an excellent stay if you are anywhere in the area! Koda even gave us a tour of the town with thoughtful insight on Japan’s history. Thank you!

We can't say enough nice things about Koda and Kero. We were picked up and showed the town and cared for to an amazing level. Respect and care were given to our daughter's allergies and we were able to walk the Nakasendō because of being dropped off and picked up. I have never experienced this level of hospitality in my life. This has been one of the most amazing experiences we have had in all of our trips to Japan.

This is a completely unexpected stay. Kada and Kero are extremely kind and enthusiastic people. Our family and children are very grateful to them for two days. Everything is attentive. My son still misses the host, uncle and aunt after we leave . Their house is unique, well-maintained, spotless, with a touch of wood scent, the surrounding environment is beautiful, there is tranquility away from the hustle and bustle, and they live very comfortably. The accommodation is a little far from the attractions, but it doesn't matter, Koda will stop at the station and transfer to the attractions. Koda also served as a day's guide to take us around Ena. Without his commentary and recommendations, we would not have had such an unforgettable journey. The rating is up to five stars, but I actually want to give six stars. Hope more people can meet Koda and Kero ~

Great facility and support

Stop looking and book this place. Koda and Kero's place is exceptional and their hospitality unsurpassed. Koda gave us so much of his time, showing us around and sharing his local knowledge. Kero cooked a delicious vegetarian meal for us; one of the best meals we've had in Japan. All round fantastic experience.

With this airbnb, you are not just getting a place to sleep but a great local experience. Koda picked us up from the train station and gave us a tour of the town and a great history lesson before bringing us to the apartment. There where fruit and snacks waiting for us. The space is so relaxing and tranquil -- the perfect change after Tokyo. The next day, we hiked from Megome to Tsumago and Koda dropped us off and picked us up. He also gave us a little pre-hike tour. That evening, Kero made us a traditional Japanese dinner that was delicious! (It was our honeymoon, so this could have been a one-off treat) I felt at ease the whole time. We didn’t need to worry about ANYTHING. Kero and Koda went above and beyond to make us feel welcome. I cannot recommend this Airbnb highly enough. Thanks Koda & Kero!

EXTRA SPECIAL! This gorgeous and magnificent accommodation exceeds all expectations in size, style, conveniences, and comfort. Ena is a very central location for exploring this historic natural mountain countryside. Koda and Kero are happy and caring hosts. Koda speaks fluent English and provides a friendly and very informative shuttle service. He has a highly-educated local's knowledge of the local history and culture. Kero's vegetarian cooking is of Michelin Star quality. You will love her dishes - and not be able to eat it all. She considers dietary limitations a fun challenge. They both team up to ensure that all your needs are catered for. We will return!

Very close from the Iida IC, some nice restaurants nearby as well. There is a supermarket that is open 24 hours within walking distance too. Very accommodating and sparkling clean!

Super Hotel is a brand new hotel that's been operating since November 2018. They had everything we could ask for including keyless entry to the room (code), ample parking spots, pretty much a buffet Japanese breakfast with pastry and even its own onsen (one for men and one for women). Rooms were larger than we expected. We are before we came so unsure about nearby dining options. Overall we're very pleased with the service and value for money of Super Hotel. Management we eager to use their English skills which made communicating a fun process. Lastly, we drove here so we're entirely sure about access via public transport.

The response was kind, the building was very clean and we had a fun holiday! Thank you very much

We attended both check-in and check-out, and emailed me that I was considering moving. It was helpful. Of course you can respond without attendance. The rooms were very clean and well equipped. For simple meals, you can make ingredients by buying ingredients, and even if you buy alcohol, there is a bottle opener so it's perfect! Above all, the view from the house was the best! It was a mountain, but I was especially moved by the starry sky. It was a very enjoyable stay and I was very happy!

Stefano’s place was beautiful. The hosts were so helpful and accommodating. We will definitely be back. We rented a car and loved driving in the alps. Went to a sake factory and fished for rainbow trout. It’s so peaceful here with stunning views. The house was very clean with lots of space. Great to have a kitchen too.

It was a nice house with a very clean feeling and it was convenient because there was a convenience store and a supermarket nearby. Mr. and Mrs. Stefano were very kind and explained the room carefully. We were able to talk about the surroundings and became a reference for sightseeing. There was a warm hospitality for the couple, and we had a very comfortable and enjoyable time.

The hosts are very friendly and helpful. Their place is very clean and nicely decorated in a Japanese way. Highly recommended.

Perfect big apartment in a mountain area. The apartment is great and very clean. The equipment is very good in the kitchen. Two bicycles are also available. The region is great and offers plenty of opportunities for hiking and nice things to discover. Stefano and his wife are very nice and always ready to help. They give great tips! The location is totally great and quiet and not so far from JR Tagiri Station.

Stefano and Miwako are outstanding hosts. The place is clean and practical and holds everything you need including a well equipped kitchen. Will stay again when we're back.

Close to Komagatake Ropeway platform, it was very clean and comfortable. The host and his wife welcomed us warmly and it was our first time using Airbnb. I went to a recommended Italian restaurant for my host, but I enjoyed Komagane at a very tasty and reasonably priced restaurant!

The stay with Yukiko was beautiful. She is a very cool woman and is great to stay and spend time with. We have been there only for one night but it was worth the travel.

Thanks to Tae's quick response and meticulous response, I was able to spend the best travel time. In addition, the bookstore where we stayed was renewed and maintained a very clean interior while maintaining the taste of 300 years old. It was so comfortable that I wanted to stay longer. The main building is not released until it gets warm, so I would like to stay again when the main building is available.

I thought it was more wonderful than expected, because I was in the depths of the mountain, I could spend quietly.

I was afraid to use Airbnb for the first time, but tae's response was very fast, and I was able to travel with peace of mind by making a reservation about two days before the trip! The main house was very charming and it looked like it was in a different space! I don't usually take many pictures, but I took a lot of pictures! I was able to participate in the starry sky tour, which was the purpose of my trip, and the place where I stayed was a wonderful place, so I had a good memory that would be memorable. I want to go again, thank you!

The inside of the facility was a different space and it was very nice.

I was able to experience an extraordinary experience in a space like a library. Because it is an independent separation, it is comfortable to rent almost one building. I arrived early, but thank you for welcoming me.

A wonderful word!

It was one of the best place I’ve stayed, wish I could of spent more time here. Highly recommend. Also host provided breakfast for only 600 yen with many pastry, fruits, teas and coffee!! Wonderful experience here. I suggest to drive to the place before the sunset for safety!

Very quick, friendly and flexible response. The library was also very happy with the nice atmosphere. We asked for additional breakfast, but it was high quality and delicious. There was a feeling of cleanliness and felt that attentiveness was careful. The owner is also very personal and I want to use it again.

It was a very nice house with a real fireplace, and a signboard stood at the branch, so we arrived without hesitation. It was fun to talk to the host in front of the fireplace at night. I think that it is a recommended inn for those who like at home. The homemade jam for breakfast and the freshly picked herbal tea were very delicious. Although it was raining during the day, the night stars looked beautiful and I felt happy. There are one-day hot spring facilities and supermarkets nearby, and it is very convenient if you have a car. Please refer to the nearby spotMAP written by the host! !

Me & my gf enjoyed the atmosphere & quiet location & stargazing at night.

You can expect very helpful, friendly hospitality and a modern, spacious bedroom. Their lovely house is surrounded by fruit trees and crops so it's a lovely place. However, they are about 30 minutes walk from Ichida station but Toshi is helpful with transfers if needed. There is an extra charge of 500 Yen for a load of washing. There's no dryer but you can hang clothes outside on the covered deck. There's a great supermarket, cafe and helpful info centre down in the very modern and stylish retail complex, 25 mins walk.

I like the cafe, they have coffee, tea and juices as welcome drink. They also have many books, cd any vinyl you can choose to play. Also hammock is available to enjoy your day while turntable is played or enjoying reading a good book. This cafe is 5 mins by walk from the house.

If you’re looking for a quiet, traditional experience, this is a place for you. Spacious, warm and cozy, this was easily my best experience in Japan so far. Located in the small town of Sakashita, 10 minutes from Nakatsugawa, this AirBNB is located close to the Magaome/Tsumago trail and makes the perfect accommodation for a day hike. You will also find Cafe42 nearby to your AirBNB, a small cafe owned by the hosts. The food here is amazing and even better is Takashi’s amazing record collection. Sit down, relax under the kotatsu and listen to some amazing songs from the 70s-00s. While you’re in town, consider dropping by the local shrine and visit some of the hidden Izakaya’s for a great night out with your friends. I would recommend everyone to visit this AirBNB if they chose to visit Japan. It really was a great experience!

We really enjoyed our stay here. Beautifully comfortable and warm futons. Needed some more kitchen utensils as cooking was a bit of a challenge. Great location. Very close to train and such a beautiful, quiet area.

It was great! The best without complaint! ,

Great place, cozy and very neat with nice touches. The welcome at the cafe was great, and the house was roomy and clean. The town is beautiful, but as rural towns are, pretty much everything closes at night so keep in mind if anyone's arriving at night. A convenience store is about 5 mins by car, and there's this great Yakisoba & Okonomiyaki place near the house open until 22:00 that I would very much recommend.

It was a great experience, plenty of space for my group of 3. Takashi made some good food for us at the Cafe, which we really enjoyed.

I used it on my way home from Chiba to Nara. I was a little anxious about my first private stay, but the owner was very courteous and helpful, and my house was clean. We only arrived at night and went out in the morning, but we were able to spend very comfortably. I will use it if I have the opportunity. Thank you very much.

Spacious house in the mountains. It was nice to have some space for our 4 year old to run around. The house is fairly simple. The highlight of the village is cafe 42 (owned by the house’s owner) with a super collection of LPs. We had a great night listening to nirvana remixes!

a wanderful apartment. very nice and very well equipped very recommended

He / she kept room warm. I was very happy because it was cold.

The owner is very nice, the place is big, and there is a feeling of home. At the time of check-out, the gift was given by a paper towel set made by her mother. I hope I will come back next time.

Spacious and beautiful housing, and excellent host. 重樹 is friendly and very helpful ! He showed us some great views near Ena, and was very considerate in many ways ! Highly recommended !

I was able to spend comfortably

Very friendly and helpful host. Spacious appartment with good self catering facilities. About a 20min walk to centre of Ena and train station etc. Having tennis available was a bonus too. We enjoyed our 3 nights here and walking in the surrounding area. Would very much recommend.

We loved our stay in Ena with Shige. The house is warm (it was cold outside) and the beds so comfortable. It was great to use the tennis club to sit by the fire and read and chat. Shige is a true super host. He picked us up from the train station and the next day, he had the day off, he drove us around. We visited the castle ruins and places in Ena. And then, he helped us organise our luggage transfer as we were heading off on a hike of the Nakasendo. Thanks Shige, you are a star

I made a reservation suddenly on the day, but it was a pleasant welcome. We were able to stay in peace in very bright one. I would also like to use it when I visit Achi Village.

A funky hostel in a quaint town. The privacy of the beds for a dorm was really excellent.

The room was nice, with a clean and stylish cafe.

Great place! Exceptional hospitality!

A nice space with nice hosts!

This hostel is great! You have a totally private bunk with plenty of room and the living area is very nice. It is definitely a calm and quiet energy, not a big party hostel which I appreciated. There is a curfew of midnight, so if you are someone that is out late you should be aware of that! Otherwise, it was a lovely stay.

Great place to stay! Spotless clean, friendly stuff and very easy to get from the station. If you’re going to Nakatsugawa I strongly recommend this spot.

Very nice and clean dorm. The common area was very beautiful as well the garden.

Very nice place, very clean. The house is very old and with a lot of charm.

Very pleasant stay Nice atmosphere, common room to meet other guests, neighborhood atmosphere in the bar that is animated (no discomfort) Super comfortable beds Atypical place: traditional house renovated hostel, very beautiful place with the stamp and a special atmosphere, it feels good! Absolutely go eat at izakaya "iramastsou" (name in Japanese - ask the host who recommended this place), which remains our most beautiful culinary and social experience in 4 weeks in Japan :)

The cityscape of Nakasendo is located in a very nice place, and the accommodations and the cafe that is attached to it have a nostalgic atmosphere, but the amenities are new, clean and comfortable. The interaction with the owner was also very smooth.

Excellent location near the Komagane ropeway, very quiet, lovely room and friendly helpful host. We'll look forward to staying there again next time.

Overall, it was a very beautiful inn, and the host was able to spend a very nice time.

Tomo and Hiromi are incredibly warm and friendly hosts. Not only were we very comfortable, but we also enjoyed every moment we spent together with them! Our room was very cozy and quiet, and we loved the beautiful traditional house in the middle of amazing mountain scenery. We opted in for a pizza party from the wood burning oven and for breakfast. Their handmade pizza and breakfast dishes were so so delicious! They even made me tasty vegetarian dishes! We also enjoyed plenty of fresh Nagano apples and apple cider! Tomo and Hiromi also kindly introduced us to some of their friends in the area so that we could have a local apple picking experience. This was such a precious and special experience for us. We had such a great time with them that we felt very sad to leave, and we are looking forward to staying there again in the future. Wonderful people and wonderful guesthouse!! And the fall scenery was gorgeous!

Although it is an old private house, it is recommended that it is maintained very cleanly. Also, the host couple seems to have been living for several years after moving, but they seem to be actively involved with the villagers and other migrants, so I wanted to support them even if I heard about the future. . The distance to the guests is also moderate, so you can stay quietly according to your needs, and have fun and flexibility. The food was also very satisfying because the ingredients of the feature were cooked very deliciously.

Mr. Idashiya is located in the mountainous area of Toyooka Village. There are signposts on the way to go so you can rest assured. If you want to go by car, you can rest assured that there is a sign near the shrine below. There is only a 150-year-old old private house. There are buildings that are still being renovated, so I'm looking forward to the future. It is spacious and you can feel the old history of Japan. The host Hiromi and the husband are very friendly and can stay without hesitation. We stayed for the purpose of leisurely watching the stars and touching nature. I think it's a good idea to talk to the host about activities at the time of booking. Since there are no shops nearby, we recommend that you check amenities. Meals can be enjoyed by the hearty dishes of the host. I think vegetarians are also available. Please visit once. You will surely be able to touch the warmth of the people of Toyoka.
