We had a pleasant stay at Guesthouse Nedoko. We had a lovely view of the mountains from our room with a twin bunk bed. The furniture in our room and in the common spaces was stylish, though the futon on the bunk bed was not as comfortable as a futon on the floor. Mika was communicative before the stay and helped us book a reservation at a local restaurant. The one inconvenience we found is that the guesthouse is closed from 9:30am to 3pm, including the bathrooms and common spaces. Had we been staying in Magome for longer, we would have preferred to stay somewhere where we could relax and use the bathrooms during the day. But overall we had a positive experience.
With a garden and a bar, Only one group stays per day -Tenmaya-家族や仲間と貸し切りゲストハウス 天満屋 is a historic guest house that provides accommodations with free Wifi.

It was a really fun and interesting experience! It's a little sad to stay in an old elementary school, but they kept some of the parts of the elementary school intact which made the experience fascinating: the kitchen was just as you would find in a Japanese school or community center, there were chalkboards and whiteboards that are used in schools, and there is a gym for sports. The showers were single stall and very clean, as well as the toilets. The bunk beds were spacious and had a little locker to secure small belongings, and came with a plug and small lamp (it was basically like a small capsule hotel). There was simple food (microwaveable curry and rice, cup noodle, etc.) and snacks for purchase on site.
31 miles from Gero Station in Nakatsugawa, Iwasu-so features accommodations with access to a public bath and open-air bath.

Getting to our ryokan was a simple bus ride to the town from the train station. We were graciously greeted by the host of the ryokan. Delicious traditional dinner with many small dishes, all prepared with care. We started our hike early from Magome to Tsuamgo without many tourists which was a plus to take in the tranquility of the trail. The waterfalls along the way were impactful. Stopped for lunch in Tsumago and had cold soba with grilled fish, simple but delicious.
If you decide to take the bus back to Magome in the late afternoon, be prepared to wait, there may be a line and the bus only runs every half hour, depending on the day.

We stayed in Nakatsugawa in order to spend time walking on the Nakasendo Trail. It was a good home base for doing so!
It’s possible to take a cab or a bus to the post towns to start your walk, or to end it.
Nakatsugawa is also known for its abundant chestnut snacks and sweets which we sampled and truly enjoyed.
It was really nice to be in a part of Japan that has fewer tourists and is more quiet.

This is about Magome Juku - not Nakatsugawa.
This is about Magome Juku - not Nakatsugawa. Frankly whilst it's quaint, picturesque and reasonably true to form it's frankly a bit of a tourist trap and quite crowded. The buildings are almost all souvenir shops or restaurant / tea houses. With a few exceptions many are selling the same stuff, usually at higher prices than can be bought elsewhere. Glad we went but won't return

As previously reviewed, we are still annoyed that we had to argue at length with the staff (over half an hour) to have the sofa bed made up with linen. Their policy apparently is to only provide linen when there are 3 guests sharing the room advertised as 'Double Bed plus Sofa' and confirmed in writing via booking.com that I had booked a room with 2 beds. The hotel was demanding further payment otherwise my friend and I were expected to share the bed. They eventually agreed to make an exception. The air con unit also only had instructions in Japanese and we found it impossible to turn it down The room was very small and the aircon unit sounded all night as if we were flying in an airplane.

Nakatsugawa was a very pleasant town with an excellent shopping centre and good restaurants. Soba noodle seem to be a specialty in many. It was also a handy base for taking a bus to Magome for the Nakasendo Way walk to Tsumago and in the opposite direction to Ochiai, via the historic stone-paved 800m road.

Our primary reason for visiting was the walk from Magome to Tsumago. It's a lovely outing. Very enriching to see Japanese countryside after the big cities of central Honshu. The quality and restfulness of Iwasu-so was an unexpected delight.
Firstly, the small town Nakatsugawa is a great place to explore the Nakasendo Way, and the Ryokan O is perfectly situated near the rail and bus stations, and a large supermarket. That it is a ryokan gives it a very appropriate vibe for this historic region. The rooms are a good size and the mattresses comfortable. The share facilities were clean and well maintained, and we never had a problem with access. It was also a great place to swap stories and tips with other travellers in the generous dining / common room.
Front desk is superb. They have nicely folded origami to give out to little children - and my daughter was delighted! The rooms were nice and clean. We have two non-connected rooms, but as it was the peak travel season, we were glad we found a nice hotel like this one. Its location was also excellent. If you stay here, you must eat at the Prince Matsuba, Nakatsugawa - just opposite the hotel! During my entire stay in Chubu, this restaurant provides the best food at the most reasonable price and great servings.
Halfway between a compact and modern business hotel and a ryokan experience! Barefoot hotel, hence interesting experience for kids. Western breakfast items on the buffet was helpful for us as vegetarians travelling with 2 children. All modern amenities avbl. Has a "bathhouse" if you want the experience. Excellent choice for exploring the Nakasendo trail.
Assi was a very nice host, and the house was amazing! We were lucky to stay over when we were the only guests, and it remains the best accommodation of our Japan trip. Futons are comfortable, the garden is very pretty, there are many cool and interesting things around the house (for example, some stamps and paper), it is clean and overall very cosy.
