We will not be back.

Breakfast was authentic and the staff were friendly in general except for one young chap, who was tasked to show us to our room but didn’t help with any of our luggages seeing our hands and backs were full.

Great family-friendly onsen, disappointing bento dinner

The staff are fantastic, super welcoming and the onsen is geared for families with kids/babies - even having two (cooler) private family baths where your baby/toddler can join you in a special shallow area, which was a real highlight. Breakfast was tasty and varied too

Classic, well-run Ryokan with good food and great staff.

Super clean and organized. Very good meals. Loved the tea supply. Onsen was nice. Well managed. Although I was there alone, they were clearly very kid and baby friendly and equipped accordingly. MST be great for young parents.

We would highly recommend Nakaya Ryokan to anyone else we know travelling. We thought the hospitality was exceptional and we are very grateful for the experience we had. They helped us manage our luggage via storage. They were always so helpful and kind. They offer private onsens which were outstanding. They were also able to accommodate us for an extra night while we negotiated train delays and cancellations and so much more. Thank you Nakaya Ryokan Team!

Incredible, relaxing, and delicious food.

Nakaya Ryokan was the best place we stayed on our trip to Japan. The hotel is beautiful, the rooftop onsens were a highlight and the staff were incredibly helpful, friendly, and welcoming. We will 100% come back one day.

Lovely relaxing Ryokan

We loved staying in this little ryokan. The staff are really friendly. The baths are great. We got 2 private bath times to use the wooden and stone baths. The place is so traditional and quiet. Parking is right next door. We loved making up our own beds and the free tea station.

Amazing gem in the mountains! We stayed here one night whilst driving back to Tokyo and wished we could stay longer! The room was very big and the futons were super comfortable. The staff was super welcoming and went definitely above and beyond for us. We decided to have the set meal which was incredible, might seem pricey when booking but for what you get and the experience in itself is worth every penny and to be honest even more! There are different onsens in the building, some outdoors and some indoors and there is the possibility of booking one of the outdoor ones privately. I would definitely stay here again!
