“It’s a beautiful place.”
The location is beautiful & they provide a great shuttle bus service. Room was spacious, clean & very comfortable & looking out on a beautiful green space. The onsen at the sister hotel was delightful & easy to access. We wished we had stayed longer. Just remember to bring some food.

“Great place in the mountains”
I liked the place. Yes, it's an older building, but I think the price is fair and everything was clean and the onsen in the main hotel was great. Also, I purchased the frozen curry and a cup soup for 800 yen. The wifi was supposed to be only in the lobby, but I was able to catch it in my room as well. Also, the staff was very helpful with dealing with my lost passport at the previous hotel.

We had an amazing stay at Tokonamiso. For the price we paid, it honestly exceeded our expectations. There was an onsen available almost 24 hours a day, and it was such a great experience to relax there after a long day. The staff were all incredibly kind and welcoming, and everything overall was really good. We would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for a comfortable and authentic stay.

“I would definitely come back and when I am back I would definitely like to stay in their other fancy hotel.”
It was the best choice ever. They let us use their fancy onsen from their other fancy hotel across the street. It was just sublime. I cannot say anything bad about this place. I also got the room for myself and it was amazing and it was huge. They even had a wash basin in the room itself.

“A beautiful location in the mountains.”
The location is up in the hills, quiet and surrounded by the mountains. The access to the onsen at the beautiful 'sister' hotel next door is superb, which makes up for the basic amenities at the site itself. The facilities are clean and very comfortable.

“Missleading reviews for an abandoned hotel”
The only good thing is the onsen FROM THE OTHER HOTEL. There are several images of this booking site which don’t belong to Tokonamiso installations.

Amazing location in the middle of the nature. Shuttle to and from the accommodation worked perfectly. Staff was really really nice. Was great that it was possible to use the onsen in the hotel next doors.

“The best onsen in Japan”
This place is amazing. The other reviews are a bit harsh- don’t go here if you’re expecting to stay in a luxurious hotel room with an all inclusive vibe- that is clearly not what this hotel advertises. They provide a traditional Japanese room to sleep in, a separate toilet, all of which are very clean and well maintained. They have tea and coffee facilities, a fridge and a microwave and they VERY clearly tell guests multiple times before staying that they do NOT provide food and that there is none there. If you choose to ignore this then that’s on you!! If you want a hotel with food then go somewhere else! It’s honestly not much hassle to get some food and bring it to the hotel room, given the availability of food in Japan. Come prepared and you’ll have the best stay because you’ll ultimately spend most of your time in the onsen at the neighbouring hotel- which is absolutely incredible. The best onsen I’ve been to in the whole of Japan. The views, the relaxing nature around you, the tranquility. It is 100% worth a visit and I would definitely return.

“Amazing place to relax after hiking day !!!”
I loved the location !! In the middle of nowhere, surrounded by nature and silence. But to get there you have to catch the last shuttle bus at 17:10 sharp, it doesn’t wait and you have to be on driver’s list ( means you have to reserve the seat first writing a message to the hotel staff). It stops at Parking 1. Rooms are quite large and spacious, our had a toilet and a sink at the entrance, tatami beds and a huge window overlooking the forest 😍😍😍 green tea and coffee are provided, you can also buy cup ramen at the reception of Fuji no Mori hotel, but there is nothing else to eat there. We could use onsen that was situated in the sister hotel Fuji no Mori, it’s 2 min walk, and it was gorgeous!!!! They also have open air onsen. In the morning the same shuttle bus can take you back to Tsumago or to Nagiso.

This accomodation is very low rated, comments are quite negative so we had low expectations. And we were actually very positively surprised. The accomodation is part of a complex. I guessing the owner bought the site and keeps the old accomodation running for a cheap price meaning you don’t have the same service as you would expect from an hotel. The accomodation is actually very cheap for the area (more than half price the others you can find in the area). The building is dated, some upgrades were done to make the bedrooms comfortable but the rest of the building is quite basic. The rooms however are comfortable, brand new aircon/heater, water dispenser, coffee/tea and the futon bed are comfortable. Like any old building, bring your ear plug if you are a light sleeper. In the most recent building where the hotel is, you have access to the onsen, which was one of the best you experienced around the country (indoor, outdoor and sauna). They don’t provide food (although you can buy a bento box at the reception of the hotel for $3). We bought our own food. There is hot water and microwave available as well as a selection of black tea, green tea, coffee and a couple of vending machines which juices, sodas, beers. The property is about 10km inland so they provided a shuttle which ran from Nagiso station at 3pm and Tsumago 3.10pm, Nagiso station at 4pm and Tsumago 4.10pm, Nagiso station at 5pm and Tsumago 5.10pm And same in the morning from the property to Tsumago and Nagiso Station at 9am and 9.50am. You are meant to message the property that you are going to use the shuttle. We were booked at 5pm but took the 3pm instead. The property never answered back to confirm but they had my name on the list. The shuttle is blue and has the sister hotel name on it (and a small A4 sign for Tokonasimo. The all experience was very positive. We wish we stayed there another night using shuttle and train to keep walking from Nagiso station to Nojiri station.
