"This hotel looks like it was designed for people just passing through (truckers, sales people etc) not really tourists but it was fine. Small rooms, nice breakfast helpful staff, priced right."
"The staff at the hotel are very friendly, and the room is tidy and clean. The hotel has a long history, which adds to its charm. My favorite part is the beautiful view—right by the river, it’s simply stunning! I will stay here again if visit Gero next time."
"We enjoyed our stay for 2 nights. The kaiseki was delicious, onsen was relaxing but what made our stay special is the staff who welcomed us. Definitely, worth the stay."

"Amazing stay at this hotel. The onsen is very picturesque and the all inclusive aspect and food available was high quality. We also really enjoyed the massage chairs and ping pong. Exceeded our expectations."
"This hotel is the most beautiful hotel we have ever stayed at. The staff were helpful and always very friendly. The breakfast option was extraordinary, a private banquet of traditional Japanese dishes. The hot spring is beautiful, a rock pool flowing with healing water, always available. It is right on the Hida River which brings a soft tranquility. The walk into town is short, 15 or 20 minutes brings you to the center of town, with many dining options, temples and shrines. A truly memorable and relaxing experience."
"I've used this hotel many times for more than one week at a time, but they never greet me such as "Welcome back!" or "Thank you for using the hotel always." They are always too business like. I hope they are a bit more friendly. The hotel is very comfortable to stay though!"
"Nagataki is a compound of several "hundreds of years old" typical houses connected through walkable paths and integrated with nature. You can truly feel the "old" and "nature" vibe all across the property.
The houses being old can get really cold during the winter even with the heaters turned on, so be prepared with warm layers and pajamas so you can have a pleasant night.
You get your own private restroom and bathroom with a soaking tub along with all the amenities you might need.
You can also use the public bath (separate women from men), which was a delight and the walk across the property was really invigorating.
You also get yukatas you can wear on your room and around the property that makes the experience even better.
When you book half board (which I highly encourage you do), you get breakfast and dinner (kaiseki style) served directly on your 'old house / room', and the food is 5 star Michelin grade, honestly the best food we ever had in all our 3 weeks in japan!!! You have to try it!!!
And they cook using local ingredients <3
The service was incredible, Masaya was very attentive to our needs and gave us really good advice for the Nakasendo Trail and how to move around the towns and back.
They also offer a shuttle service from and to the Nakatsugawa station (I suggest you contact them prior to arrival to schedule the pick up, otherwise there are plenty of taxis outside the station at a very reasonable price so either way works).
Highly recommend this Ryokan!

"The staff speak English or Mandarin hence communication was a breeze for me. They were very friendly, helpful and polite. The location of the ryokan is within walking distance to the town and close to the train station. Hotel provides a bus shuttle to the train station. From the train station to the hotel, there is also a complimentary ride. I had a very pleasant stay at the ryokan and highly recommend it. "
