Perfect for rustic breaks in the countryside, an Inn is a small property with basic hotel services and typically traditional decor. Inns are fully licensed and have a bar providing food and drinks in the evening – distinguishing them from country or guest houses.
Keiko san was very welcoming, and the dinner and breakfast were amazing. The whole guest house was also extremely clean and comfortable. Keiko san was also helpful in advising the best mode of transport, especially as we were getting in late on a Friday evening when most transport to Magome had ended for the day.
Amazing experience staying at Keiko-san's guest house. She was so kind to our 8 month old son, and made sure we had everything we needed. After walking the Nakasendo way, we were treated to the most incredible kaiseki dinner. We slept so well on the tatami beds. Sad we only stayed one night, but it was anone truly memorable part of our trip.
Our host Keiko met our bus in the village and drove us to the guest house. Breakfast and dinner were excellent, beautifully prepared and presented. The guest house was very quiet & comfortable, Keiko super welcoming and generous. She handed us a bear bell when we set off for our walk on the Nakesendo trail to Tsumago-juku and had prepared a hot soaker bath with citrus for our return. Delightful!
The accomodation was simple as I expected of an old style Japanese guest house. Which of course means that you need to go in understanding that the bedding is a futon so not the best nights sleep. Ok for one night and really, the location and town make up for that. So beautiful. Also the staff are just lovely and helpful. Highlight was the dinner and breakfast. Top quality!
Staying at Motomiya was a truly exceptional experience, anchored by the warm and genuine hospitality of the lady of the house. It is however the included dinner and breakfast that take this Guest House to an even higher level… truly extraordinary in its presentation!
Wonderful! Clean and tidy guest house with comfortable rooms. Bathrooms are shared but fine as not a lot of guests staying at once. Dinner and breakfast were superb and Keiko was the loveliest host. Would recommend to all.
Magome Chaya is a wonderful traditional guest house with exquisite food…to walk along the Nakasendo Way without staying here would be a true loss…I was travelling alone..one night it was very quiet the other it was very busy…both were managed with equally calm efficiency….you must have the dinner and breakfast..Japanese food and presentation of the highest quality …the small town itself uniquely preserved on a hillside with so many stories of its own..
