"This hotel is located deep in the mountains. Its name is ”Forest Hotel”. It is three kilometers away from the bottom of the mountain. There are few restaurants nearby, and almost none are open at night. The hotel's own restaurant only offers sukiyaki set meals for reservations, and meals cannot be served without reservations. Later, I found a Chinese restaurant ”Kitaro” eight kilometers away from the hotel. The diligent owner was open almost every day and served food until ten o'clock in the evening. I really need this dining advice when staying at this hotel. The nearby attractions of this hotel are very good. In addition to the historical streets, I recommend the ”Sleeping Bed” and ”Asa Valley”. In terms of natural beauty, it is irreplaceable, but it is a bit primitive. I highly recommend it. Wear sneakers to climb. The hotel itself has a large bath, but it is actually just a large bath and does not have sauna-style equipment. It's not a new hotel, but it's well maintained. All the equipment doesn't look shabby. The rooms are big and it's quite comfortable to stay."
"Decided to stay here as part of my Nakasendo hike. Nice, clean hotel. The dinner was amazing, and breakfast buffet is free for all guests. No private showers, but that's okay in Japan. It's quite a walk from the station however, about 10-15mins."
"The property is located just opposite the train station. We arrived at 9:30 am, did the check-in procedure, and then left luggage there so that we were luggage-free when we went on hiking on one of the section of the Nakasendo. We did not have to explain, the host simply accepted our luggage gracefully.
The breakfast and dinner were delicious. The host and staff were very polite and helpful. Some of the staff spoke very good English and explained to us the different types of sauces for each dish.
I think the facilities could be made better with some simple adjustments.
The room was a bit small, we knew that when we made booking. However, I think the room could be more roomly if not so many furnitures were put in the room.
The public bath room was small. If someone is having a shower, the water could easily splash into the bath water and persons sitting in the bath. I suggest the host to change the male and female baths into 2 private baths, allowing prior booking each time for 40 min. Booking can easily be done by self-service.
With these minor adjustments, the stay could be more enjoyable."

"The traditional ryokan was very charming and perfectly alluring. The decor of traditional artifacts of the Edo period gave a pleasant insights to a former opulence. The inside and outside onsens were clean with a clear zen and ambiance. How I love the traditional kimono-styled house clothes offering a comfortable restorative relaxing dress code."
"⭐️ Hot Spring
There were two hot springs and medicinal hot springs, which was very good. There is also a private bath, and I took it four times.
⭐️ Food
The amount was just right and I enjoyed Kiso's delicious local dishes. I was very satisfied with the comparison of sake.
⭐️ Starry Sky Tour
I participated in the starry sky tour for free. It was a valuable experience to explain.
⭐️ Room
It was well cleaned and not new, but it was easy to spend. There was also a humidifier in the room, which was a good facility.
⭐️ Hospitality
Everyone was very kind. There was also a transfer between the station and the inn."
"Small quaint Ryokan run by a family. Share Toilet & Bath but if you can get the room nearby is ok. Simple place.
Outside environment is nice with river, pond & great view of the mountain."
"Het hotel ligt afgelegen aan het eind van een weg die de bergen in leidt. Prachtig uitzicht, rust, vogelgeluiden. Zeer gastvrije gastheer, die 's avonds een heerlijk diner bereidt. De volgende ochtend een prima ontbijt. Eenvoudig hotel, relatief ruime kamer, zeer kleine badkamer. Half-pension. "
