Best Ena Hotels

"Hotel is high up above the reservoir and has a good view. Room size is good. I liked the public bath which had many different types of onsen,some with water jets to massage and one with herbs. Dinner and breakfast are delicious and good."

"Simply an amazing stay. First trip to Japan and first ever stay at a Ryokan & was not disappointed. The mother & daughter (5th & 6th generation)hosts were super accommodating and felt very privileged that they had opened their Inn for solo travelers like myself to enjoy. The feeling of history at the Inn, felt almost like staying within a piece of living art. Ikebana display in the front display and Bonsai in the courtyard that are over 500 hundred years old, it made the whole experience an immersive one. The dinner and breakfasts were an experience that were perfectly executed. Of course local / home grown ingredients were the stars of these meals and every dish was tastier than the last. Thank you for making my stay feel comfortable and relaxed. Ena is one of the historical postal towns on the Nakasendo trail & recommend visiting and staying here if you are taking the less touristy route. とても思い出に残る滞在にしてくださった旅館のとても親切なスタッフに感謝します。"

"There are supermarkets, cosmeceuticals, and meals near the hotel. There is also a public pool to soak in. Although the hotel is a bit old, it is very clean. There is free coffee on the first floor. Overall, it is very good value."

"amazing location for a night's rest, expected it to be small but it was much more comfortable than i thought."

"This place is so beautiful, traditional style rooms and sliding doors, lots of natural wood. It felt like I was in a luxury hotel! The woman who ran in was so kind and friendly, I loved my stay here. I stayed here to hike a portion of the Nakasendo Way- Magome to Tsumago. It’s not close, you have to go to take like 2 or 3 transits to get there, I think it was like 2 hours to get there if I remember. It’s an old, traditional Japanese village- the buildings are really cool. There wasn’t much going on though while I was there, not many restaurants open. I ended up stocking up on food from 7/11 in Ena or Nakatsugawa I think it was to take back with me because there aren’t any stores like that in Iwamura that I found. You can get cash out from the ATM at the post office. This was a very peaceful place and a cool insight into a non-touristy area of Japanese life. Would definitely recommend this accommodation."

"山あいの湖のほとりの国民宿舎。 口コミの良さで決めました。受付時が混んでいたようですが、他はアウトドア施設の受付のようでした。 　2人のフロント女性スタッフのうち、メガネをかけていない方の方がとても親切でした。 シリカ風呂はお譲りが満々に溢れ、快適でした。 　翌日は全く違う男性スタッフ。朝食はつましいものでした。数年前の口コミだともう少し満足感があったみたいですが。でもご飯、そして急須の緑茶🍵など美味しく、必要最低限で満足です。 今日のチェックアウトが対面でなく、鍵を返却する箱が置いてある。でもそこに　先程の若い男性スタッフが通りかかったので、翌日の観光の為の車で安全な下山道を地図に示してもらい、大変助かりました。 　明るいうちに到着することをお勧めします"
