Nukumorino-Yado Komanoyu

Our stay here was truly the highlight of our trip! Rooms were spacious and clean, shuttle service provided to the train station and private onsen for booking! Highly recommend to book the half board package cause the dinner was amazing and took us 1hr to slowly enjoy all the dishes served. Stayed for 2 nights and the dinner and breakfast served were different on each day.

Exceed expectation! This hotel give me a homely feeling. The staff are friendly and attentive. They provide pick up from the train station and daily shuttle to town. The star gazing tour was a bonus!

We, a group of 5, visited early December 2024. Since early December, the temperature was down to zero and it was snowing. Upon arriving, we were informed that the rooms were cold since the premises was old. The staff placed some heaters, but these are running on petrol, and the smell gave us a headache. We asked if we get stay in the newer wing, but we do not know why that request was declined. The diner was ok. But overall a disappointment given that Japan has so many nice Ryokans.

Our three night stay was a highlight of our three week Japan visit. The staff was so kind and so friendly. Especially Iyaka and Ling. Our room was large and the western beds were comfortable. The shuttle bus was very convenient running from the Kiso train station to the property. The meals were delicious. This was our first stay at a ryokan. The food was served with an explanation and instructions on how to handle the hot pots and mini table grill. We enjoyed wearing our cotton yukatas and slippers to the meals. It really changes the dining experience and brings it to another level. The onsens were very clean and enjoyable. We used both the indoor onsen which we reserved for private use and the outdoor onsen. Sitting under the stars, soaking in the rock lined onsen after a day walking the Nakasendo Trail is an experience I'll never forget!
