Ryokans in Nakatsugawa

Everything. Staying in a +200 yo Ryonkan was a magical experience for us. The atmosphere felt really authentic, and the dining experiences were truly exceptional thanks to cheff Mr. Yoshida.

The property is clean and near the station and supermarket that’s why the location is so convenient

Free shuttle service if you call them (within reasonable hours) Breakfast is delicious and filling, staff is very amicable Rooms are airconditioned and comfortable Showers and toilets are common but very clean

Very good onsen, good location, many bath options and entertainment.

First of all, the foods were all delicious. Eat all you can was definitely more than worthy of the price. Our room with the view of the lake was really comforting. The location of the hotel was close to all the famous tourist spot around the area.

Truly one of the highlights of our time in Japan. The building, rooms, and onsen are incredible and the hospitality can't be beat. We were caught in a rainstorm before our scheduled pickup and the owners so kindly dried our sopping wet clothes and shoes. After that, we warmed up in the onsen which left our skin feeling so smooth and headed to a delicious and expansive dinner. We finished the night falling asleep to the roaring sound of the waterfall due to the heavy rains. We'll definitely be back.

Everything was perfect, the food, the room, the amenities and public baths. Really relaxing place in the middle of. The mountains.

When I booked the room, I thought it was located in the city of Gifu, since that’s what my search was for. I had previously taken a workshop in Seki, which is about half an hour from Gifu, so it seemed like a convenient option. It wasn’t until I arrived by train in Gifu and encountered a very confused taxi driver that I discovered the hotel was actually in Gifu Prefecture, near the town of Ena—almost 2.5 hours away. It was late, I was traveling alone, and the situation was stressful. Despite the language barrier, the hotel proprietress was incredibly kind and helpful. She explained that I needed to take a couple more trains to Ena, where I should be able to find a taxi for the final 30-minute ride to the hotel. I was anxious—Ena is quite remote, and I wasn’t sure what I’d do if there wasn’t a taxi available. Thankfully, there was, though the driver wasn’t familiar with the area, so I had to help navigate in the dark. The proprietress had kindly held dinner for me, even though I didn’t arrive until 7:45 PM. It was a traditional meal, where you grill small bites of chicken, beef, venison, fish, and vegetables over coals at your table. The onsen was open 24 hours, and I was grateful to unwind with a long soak after dinner. I hadn’t realized just how much was included in the booking: dinner, breakfast, access to the onsen, and even a yukata to take home—each a welcome surprise. Breakfast the next morning was a beautiful, traditional spread of pickled vegetables, poached tofu, grilled fish, rice, egg, and salad. Just steps from the inn is a trail leading to nearby castle ruins. I hiked up early in the morning before breakfast and found it peaceful and nearly empty, with only a few other hikers enjoying the serenity. The historic town is also conveniently close, and I was able to store my luggage at the hotel while exploring its charming shops and fine crafts.

Everything you can dream about an hotel. Super staff, all the amenities were great! For Japan, the rooms are huge. De loooved the naturel Onsen and after the trail, it was perfect to relax in this charming environment. The food are so tasty and delicious 🤩🤩.

Every things. Breakfast is very good.
