All Filipino staff. Warm and accommodating. Perfect english. The ryokan was spotless 👌 We got a room with mountain view it was so beautiful.

Old house to stay in. Hosts were welcoming. Location is in the centre of town. We paid extra for dinner which was very tasty.

“Excellent!”

The dinner was amazing (best meal in 3 weeks in Japan). Vegan option available. Bunk beds separated by curtains (it felt like being in a private room). Very clean.

“Wonderful place in Magome”

The location, the dinner, and the welcoming inn keepers, Jeng and Karen. The vibe was excellent in the middle of town.

“Perfect location!”

Great to be in the heart of Magome as it meant we were ready to set off to Tsumago first thing in the morning. Great value for money for a spot in such a great location. Glad to experience sleeping on futon mattress and explore the beautiful old town. Enjoyed chatting in the shared dining room with other walkers and could then retire to our rooms ready to rise early the next day for the walk to Tsumago! If you are bringing your dinner there is a small kitchen with a microwave etc which was really useful as no restaurants were available by the time we arrived in the evening.

“The location is great as it is inside the town itself”

Nice location facing the hills Toilets on the same floor

“They had a hot bath and dinner waiting for us after our hike in the rain.”

The staff were incredibly friendly and spoke english very well which was helpful. Everyone comes for the location but expectations are exceeded with the meal and hospitality.

“Clean and great location.”

Perfect location in the centre of Magome.

“It was refreshing to be welcomed by Karen and later on, by Jen. They were very accommodating.”

The inn was perfectly located, right in the main street of magome-juku. Dinner experience was very good as we were given a glimpse and taste of Japanese culture.

“Dinner was exceptional. Brilliant location. Great staff.”

Dinner was exceptional. Brilliant location. Great staff.

“Fantastic location. Great evening meal”

The location was perfect and meant we could stroll around after all the buses and crowds had left. The evening meal was fantastic and the staff explained everything perfectly. The beds were comfy.

“Great location”

Magome Chaya is perfectly located on the trail that goes through Magome. It’s perfectly comfortable for a one or two night stay. There is nothing to eat in Magome after 6pm so be sure to get the dinner.

A charming guest house which was clean and comfortable. The staff provided exceptional service and the dinner served promptly at 6pm was a wonderful experience. I really appreciated that they provided a vegetarian meal. The dormitory space and bunk bed was private with curtained area and comfortable bedding.Staying here right at the start of the Magome juku section of the Nakasendo trail was a highlight of my trip.

“We had a great stay. Lovely place. Fabulous food and nice staff.”

Great. Traditional and had good facilities

“Beautiful village, very cool building, great staff and delicious food!”

Th dinner was delicious and very different from anything we’ve had before, which was great. The staff were very friendly and welcoming and made us feel at home straight away. The onsen bath was cool too. Magome is a beautiful village and it was nice to be there without the crowds. I would highly recommend this hotel, we loved it!

“Great opportunity to stay in a traditional style house.”

Dinner option was excellent. Plunge bath in communal shower room was a reward after a long walk.
