Nagataki

I cannot recommend this lovely place enough. It was tranquil. The grounds and gardens, breathtaking. The food was superb. I really felt taken care of. It was just a wonderful experience. Thank you!!

Lovely spa experience in a very old and well kept complex of traditional accomodation. The whole experience was excellent and the food outstanding. Quite a special place.

An amazing experience and stay! We spent two nights in the ryokan and it was a highlight of our trip. The food is exquisite and we were served an array of traditional, creative and beautiful dishes which we very much enjoyed. The staff are so friendly and welcoming and did everything to make our stay relaxing and comfortable. They also offered us transfers to the nearby beautiful Majome-Juku from where we walked along the Nakasendo trail and experienced the stunning Japanese countryside and traditional crafts. We also went in the onsen and had in house massages which were amazing. If we’re ever lucky enough to come back to Japan we will certainly be staying again!

Great place to stay and a lovely traditional Ryokan experience. Feels that you are in nature all the time. Lovely small onsen in the property. The food is outstanding and really well made. Both dinner and breakfast were outstanding. We chose to have the traditional Japanese breakfast which was really good. Happy to have stayed here. Chika, Toru, Masaya, Tomoko a team of wonderful people who took great care and made our stay a lovely one. So happy to have met them. We were picked up from Nakatsugawa and dropped off at Magome which was a great service and very kind of them to offer. Value for money and a great great place to stay.

This was one of our favorite stays in Japan! It was such a unique experience and one we'll never forget. You stay in your own private "house" on the property with access to their Onsen. The property is so carefully curated--the garden grounds alone are worth the visit. The service was perfect--they were warm, attentive, and went above and beyond. The food was exceptional. We had a few traditional meals before our stay here, and this one definitely felt the most special. (At one point during the meal, I asked about a chestnut that was served because I was curious about how it was cooked. It was a small accent on the plate, not a main part of the course, and when I asked about it, I learned that it took 4 days to prepare!) The house was clean and well-kept, but it is a special historical property. In a way, it felt a little like "glamping" but I only say that to try and mentally prepare guests for a "non-typical" hotel experience. It is definitely a top-notch stay! The area is so special as well. We felt it was the perfect balance to some of our city experiences. We only had a full day in the area (which was worth it) but we also could have spent two. If you can, I highly recommend the hike/walk from Magome to Tsumago. It was much more stunning than the brochures could describe and stays beautiful the entire way. It's not difficult, just long!
