"Amazing stay at this hotel. The onsen is very picturesque and the all inclusive aspect and food available was high quality. We also really enjoyed the massage chairs and ping pong. Exceeded our expectations."

"Nagataki is a compound of several "hundreds of years old" typical houses connected through walkable paths and integrated with nature. You can truly feel the "old" and "nature" vibe all across the property.
The houses being old can get really cold during the winter even with the heaters turned on, so be prepared with warm layers and pajamas so you can have a pleasant night.
You get your own private restroom and bathroom with a soaking tub along with all the amenities you might need.
You can also use the public bath (separate women from men), which was a delight and the walk across the property was really invigorating.
You also get yukatas you can wear on your room and around the property that makes the experience even better.
When you book half board (which I highly encourage you do), you get breakfast and dinner (kaiseki style) served directly on your 'old house / room', and the food is 5 star Michelin grade, honestly the best food we ever had in all our 3 weeks in japan!!! You have to try it!!!
And they cook using local ingredients <3
The service was incredible, Masaya was very attentive to our needs and gave us really good advice for the Nakasendo Trail and how to move around the towns and back.
They also offer a shuttle service from and to the Nakatsugawa station (I suggest you contact them prior to arrival to schedule the pick up, otherwise there are plenty of taxis outside the station at a very reasonable price so either way works).
Highly recommend this Ryokan!

"Lovely owner, great location and that's about it. Paper-thin walls, no towels and only a couple of showers/restrooms to share among us guests. Not great value for a 13,000 yen private room. "
After visiting Road Station - Kirira Sakashita, make a plan to see the other sights and activities in Nakatsugawa. Wander the parks or discover the area's waterfalls.
