Best Hotels near Nakasendo Jusantoge, Ena

The room is large, there are many types of hot spring pools, and there are some leisure facilities. Unfortunately, we arrived at the hotel too late and some services have been rested. The breakfast type is very rich, and you can see the beautiful scenery of Huina Gorge outside the window. It is very pleasant. I originally wanted to eat breakfast and then soak in the soup. I didn’t expect it to be the hot spring cleaning time after 9 o’clock. It’s a pity.

It is a hotel visited on a tour. It is said that it is about 12 minutes from ENA station. It is very convenient because there are big coops, convenience stores, Drax stores nearby, and megadonki when walking 5 minutes. We were guided to a double bed room. There were humidifiers, fabrics, refrigerators, hot water heaters, firepower dryers, and TV with a few channels of wowwow. The unit bus equipped in the room was separate from shampoo and conditioner and was a mint fragrance. The faucet is a type of water adjustment according to hot water. The toilet is equipped with a washing machine. There is a large bath on the first floor of the artificial hot spring. The woman gets a security card at the front desk and enters. I tried to use it early in the morning, but there was no person at the front desk and it was hard. I want you to have a bell. There are 3 washrooms in the bath, and the bathtub is the size of 3 or 4 people to relax. Towels are brought from the room. The dressing room had cleaning lotion, cosmetic water and emulsion. There was also a washing machine and dryer. Breakfast was a buffet. With a glove and a dish with a dong, etc. There were many Japanese menu. There were many people working, and it was very crowded immediately after the opening. There is an acrylic plate on the counter seat and table, and it is basically a candy to eat alone. There is a coffee that can be brought back to the room at the edge of the lobby, and it is available for most of the time during the stay. It is a pity that I noticed that I couldn't use it very much in the morning. The origami Santa arrived at the greeting from the cleaner and was lovely.

I was sorry that Wi-Fi was not available when everyone was using it, and only when everyone was not using it.

This Ryokan was perfectly situated: very near the station but not too close. What I loved about this Ryokan was that it was a modern, chic version of an old Japanese Ryokan. My room was light, fresh and spacious. The Ryokan was new, 2 years old, so it had the mod cons whilst being very aware of being eco friendly. As to be expected in Japan it was spotlessly clean and the staff were incredibly attentive. Although not fluent in English, they made every attempt to communicate through Google translate etc. I felt very welcomed here. I highly recommend this Ryokan and would definitely return.

Fantastic location amongst beautiful gardens. The owner Mayasaysan is extremely helpful, meeting and greeting all his guests as well as being an amazing chef. This is a family business which has extremely authentic accommodation with each guest having their own hut-building separated by gardens so maximum privacy is ensured. You have the option of using your own bathroom or using the shared onsen. A delicious meal was enjoyed thanks to Masayason’s cooking skills. For those walking the Nakasendo Way this is a great recharge location and there is the hotel bus to take you to Ochiai to start your next day’s walk if you do not wish to do the 4kms of road walking to get to Ochiai. A really relaxing stay and I sincere hope this property can stay on the family for years to come, as it has done for over a couple of hundred years already. Thanks for a wonderful experience.

After staying in the Ena Valley for two days, the Japanese-style hot spring hotel owned by Tangkuai has a very nice view, and the vast lakes and mountains of the Ena Valley spread out of the window. It is very convenient from Nagoya to Enakyo, and there are not many direct flights on the JR Chuo Line, two flights at 13:00 and 19:40, and the time is 40 minutes. When you arrive at Ena Station, you can take a bus and get off at Ena Station on the Enakyo Line, get off at the observatory, or show the driver directly to the hotel, and you'll just go down the station. Breakfast and dinner are buffet style and very plentiful. The hot springs are average, smell of bleach, the service is very good and there is a shuttle bus in front of the train station and the hotel, but reservations are required. It is a cost-effective hotel for vacations.

We stayed here one night at the end of a walk along the Nakasendo way from Magome to Tsumago. The hotels shuttle bus picked us up. It’s about 20 minutes drive. I was given a choice of yukata to wear, but not my husband (as if he cared anyway!) We had a Japanese style room with a small balcony and after a delicious dinner in our own little dining cubicle, we came back to our room to find futons laid out on the floor. We didn’t try the onsen and unfortunately the private onsen was fully booked until 10pm. Breakfast was also Japanese cuisine. The serving staff were delightful. There is a guest lounge where you can help yourself to tea and coffee and newspapers. We were driven to the train station after breakfast. I’m not sure what other activities are available if you were to stay longer. One slight negative- the ensuite bathroom in our room was a bit dated. Overall, it was a great experience.
