"This is the place to relax and have a recharge day in the middle of a trip. We checked in after a day of hiking and instantly relaxed, and decided to stay on property the next day. The onsen facilities were great, the buffet fantastic, the views beautiful, the staff very friendly. Make sure you either have plans during the day or a book to read, as there is nothing to do at the property between 9 and 3. I had a book and just spent a peaceful day reading in between onsen hours. Loved it, and would come back again if I visited that area."

"This is a hybrid between a Japanese style and western style hotel. You have to take your shoes off to approach the reception and to go up to your room, but then have the conundrum of how to roll your luggage up the ramp to reception (which starts from beyond the shoes off area), could have done without it when I arrived tired after my journey. Staff very friendly and speak English. The room was comfortable and I liked the onsen which I used twice. The breakfast buffet was very good."

"Great experience . Shared bathrooms were absolutely no issue. So clean and comfortable "

"The location for this property in the mountains is absolutely stunning. We drove up and found it easily. The room was such a delight. It was well looked after the beds were very comfortable. The view was amazing. There was a lovely coffee lounge with a beautiful view which we didn’t use, but was well equipped. We were lucky enough to use the fly on. Both of our dinners and breakfast was absolutely delicious. It was an amazing experience with the thoughtful presentation with so many Japanese style dishes. We really enjoyed the dining room which made it feel like your own private room. The staff were all really friendly and spoke English. The menu is on the two nights were different so we got to sample so much different food which was beautifully prepared."

"Beautiful authentic stay The hotel is a little old fashioned but still beautiful and the views are spectacular. The onsen public bath was really good too - spacious , clean and relaxing. My whole Emily is reallly happy "

"The entire property was beautiful. It was so peaceful and relaxing, and the food was delicious. I regret not booking more nights for our stay, truely a highlight of our trip."

"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! "
