Hotels with Parking in Nakanojo

Everything, honestly, everything! The location, the signature red bridge, the building, the atmosphere, the history, the staff, the facilities, the accommodation, fabulous dinner in private dining room with panoramic view, and the private onsen in our room!

Such an amazing stay! The staff were so friendly and kind! The food experience was amazing and the private onsens were so special. Would highly recommend going for a couple nights to fully relax and enjoy the ryokan!

100 years old part of hotel is very characterful. The additions have made it quite a maze and it was fun finding the different 5 hot baths The outside rock garden hot spring nestled in the forest was the highlight and very enjoyable listening to the birds and watching the red leaves fall in the light breeze. I went to these baths in the evening and morning they were so relaxing. The staff were very friendly and helpful.

This is one of the best onsen I have ever been to. The place is located in a really peaceful place. We were welcomed by their kind staff and given us welcome tea and sweets. We have a family room which is really spacious. What I enjoyed most is our own private outside onsen which has a view of mountains and trees. The onboard meals are also SPECTACULAR! People might find the price a bit pricey but its all worth it! the experience is topnotch. If you will come via public transport, please note that there could be a bit of uphill walk from the bus stop. Other than that, it was a really lovely stay. It feels more like a retreat. Truly rejuvenating!

Gorgeous room and onsen. Great good and service!!

Where do I even start — this was our favourite stay in Japan! We originally booked for two nights but ended up extending our stay after a typhoon warning was issued for our next destination. The staff were incredibly accommodating, helping us weigh our options and moving us into another available room for the extra nights, ensuring that breakfast and dinner were included. Our host, Hinata, was absolutely wonderful. She spoke clear English and went over every detail of our stay — from cleaning times to meal preferences — with such care and professionalism. She was welcoming, attentive, and genuinely made us feel at home. The rooms are incredibly spacious, with soft, cosy beds, including a TV with Netflix and Disney! Making it easy to spend the day inside doing nothing! The food was exceptional — comparable to a fine Australian degustation that would easily cost hundreds back home. One night, we were even treated to dinner at their sister restaurant down the road, where we enjoyed delicious Wagyu steak, complete with pick-up and drop-off service. There were also snacks and alcoholic drinks available for purchase, plus a daily happy hour from 2–5pm. The private onsens, both in-room and in the public facility, were perfect for unwinding — with free Yakult on hand as a thoughtful touch. They also offered complimentary pick-up and drop-off at the local bus stop for both arrival and departure, which made everything so seamless. It was the perfect escape from the bustle of Tokyo — relaxing, memorable, and truly special. I can’t wait to return!

Favourite hostel I've stayed in a month of travelling japan. Absolutely beautiful location, near the dam so I was able to catch the sunrise easily and some cool night shots (check out the stars at night). Not far from the main street and some good onsens e.g. Sekizenkan Kashoutei which inspired Spirited Away, about 20-30mins walk to nearest ATM at a post office though so make sure you have enough cash. Quiet when I was there, only one other person in my dorm. I liked that in the 'dorm' you basically got a mini room instead of a capsule, seperated by a curtain and wall with no ceiling. Plenty of space. But the privacy was nice, bed was comfy, lockers provided. Kitchen was good and there were vending machines on site, could also buy snacks and souvenirs from reception which helped as nearby shops and restaurants have changeable hours. Staff were super friendly with pretty good English although sometimes hard to find. Onsen was beautiful and often had it all to myself, outdoors onsen under maple leaves was super nice. Could hire private sauna at the top too which was cool, has a cold bath as well and toilet/shower. Wish I could have stayed longer!

the onsen. Oh my god, imagine enjoying outdoor onsen just beside the river!!!! With snow falling too… best onsen experience ive ever had.

The staff hardly speaks English, despite the language barrier they were very nice and definitely helped us a lot with any request. The hotel is not suitable for those who have difficulty with stairs, there is no elevator and we had to change rooms to a more expensive room so that we would have fewer stairs, apart from this problem the rooms are lovely the view is wonderful and the food is great, everything is very clean and very pleasant
