“Fantastic traditional Japanese Ryokan experience with friendly staff and excellent food”
+The staff were very friendly and accommodating and taught us about the history of the Kiso Valley - including a song and dance! The traditional dinner and breakfast were excellent. There are shared bathroom facilities but they are very clean and comfortable and there is even an Onsen-style bath for the evening.

“Overall had a very pleasant stay right in the heart of Magome. Food was delicious and the staff were very friendly”
+Very central location. Traditional ryokan feel. Friendly staff. A diverse array of local traditional food served for dinner and breakfast
−Very steep stairs that made access with suitcases difficult. Shared bathroom on another level so if going to the bathroom at night there’s a precipitous set of stairs to negotiate . Also you have to book your bath, it would have been nice to be able to have a bath in the morning as well. For some reason the bus drops you off 2 km from Magome with no service to get into town. The owner at Tajimaya thought it no big deal to drag 2 suitcases in pouring rain 2 km

“Uno dei luoghi più magici in cui abbiamo soggiornato in vita nostra.”
+È uno dei luoghi più magici in cui abbiamo mai alloggiato. Situato a Magome direttamente sull'antica via della Nakasendo è una struttura storica tipica con pareti in carta di riso e bagno stile Onsen. Cucina a dir poco spettacolare (attenta anche alle esigenze personali, previo avviso in anticipo) e personale impareggiabile. Il proprietario la sera propone anche canti e balli antichi dei samurai attorno al focolare. Possibilità di indossare abiti tradizionali. Da ripetere 100 volte!
−Non riuscirei nemmeno impegnandomi a trovare qualcosa che non va in questa struttura. Attenzione solo al fatto che in paese verso le 17 ogni attività commerciale chiude, quindi è necessario regolarsi di conseguenza. Ma questo non ha a che fare con la struttura, che è magnifica!

“Une nuit au cœur de la nakasendo”
+Un ryokan traditionnel où tout est fait pour le confort des hôtes. Un excellent point de départ ou d’arrivée pour la nakasendo.
