Nakaodaira

A very traditional Japanese-style B&B in the Okuhida Onsen Nakao area. The location is closer to Shin-Hotaka. It is less crowded and quiet. The owner and his wife are very friendly and can communicate in simple English. They are very proactive in picking up and dropping off at the station. There are 4 indoor soups and 2 outdoor ones, and the toiletries are very complete. You need to walk a short distance outside, wear a hat, soak in the warm soup with a slight sulfur smell in the forest filled with wind and snow, and chat with your loved ones, it is extremely comfortable! It was quite warm inside the house, said to be heated by hot springs. It was a little dry but overall felt very comfortable. Although the facilities are a bit old, they are neatly arranged and clean. The soft warm light, soft background music, and the details of the display cabinet layout make people feel warm and relaxed. We tasted breakfast and dinner, which were very local and quite satisfactory! There are no businesses around. If you want to stay and have a drink after bathing in the soup in the evening, it is recommended to bring your own drinks and snacks. I like the surrounding environment and living atmosphere, and will come again!

Unforgettable experience in this wonderful little onsen. Our hosts Aki and Naoko are really very kind and very dedicated. The place is nestled in the middle of the forest with breathtaking views of the peaks of the Japanese Alps. We spent two days of pure relaxation in this ryokan of only six rooms, which made the place very peaceful. There are six baths, including two outdoor baths, dug into the rocks. Each bath is private and can be used for couples with complete privacy. The food was our best experience in all of Japan. Aki cooks wonderfully well and she allowed us to taste several local products, with a menu translated into English, which was very appreciated. We ate succulent hida beef there and everything was fresh and tasty. The layout of the interior space is very neat and it is very pleasant to have tea sitting in front of the forest. I recommend without any hesitation this ryokan which will leave us with lasting memories.
