Hotel R9 the Yard Ena ★★★

"I used this hotel for work. It's perfectly fine for a solo traveler. It's close to Ena Station, so finding places to eat and shop is easy."

Enakyo Onsen Hotel Yuzuriha ★★★

"Great view and next to the gorge. Nice service and spacious room."

Kokumin Shukusha Enasansou ★★

"I followed the navigation system's instructions from Magome to Ena Sanso. It was fine until I got to Chukyo Gakuin University, but after that, the mountain road became winding and dark, making for a worrying journey. Finally, I came to a section of the mountain road that was overgrown with trees and only wide enough for one car to pass, where a roadblock was posted. The road might have collapsed. I had no choice but to call Ena Sanso, and they said they would come down the other way to pick me up. I was worried they were taking so long to come, but they finally did. "Are those snow tires?" I asked, and I thought, "What?!" It took more than 20 minutes, with the lodge's car leading the way, but I finally arrived at Ena Sanso. The road was narrow and covered in snow, so I had to drive slowly around the curves for safety. The altitude is 900 meters. I was grateful that they took the time to pick me up and treated me so well, even though I was the only guest."

Hotel Route-Inn Ena ★★★

"The large public bath was great!"

HOTEL R9 The Yard Enabekkan ★★★

"There's a large supermarket nearby, and it's not far from the station. The room itself was pretty much the same as a regular hotel room, and the experience was good. The staff were very helpful and polite. The accommodation included a microwaveable bento box of your choice, which was nice. The only minor issue was that the only place with a mirror in the room was the bathroom, but there was no power outlet for a hairdryer. I'd suggest adding a small mirror or something similar to the room."

Ooedo Onsen Monogatari Premium Enakyo ★★★

"The food is about what you'd expect for the price, but the quality of the hot springs is excellent."

Ena Radium Onsenkan

"I stayed here with my dog. As a result, bathing and breakfast are served one person at a time, but I like it because the food is delicious. When I went to take a bath, there was someone already in the smaller bathtub, so I felt a bit hesitant and only washed myself without getting in the water. There are no extra charges on weekends or during peak season, which is a great plus. Also, although I'm not usually that interested, "Gin no Mori" is very close by, so I can get their limited-quantity cookie tins just by going to the front of the store right before it opens, which is a nice little treat."

City Hotel Michi ★★★

"A basic hotel with all the necessary amenities for daily use. Ideal for travelers taking the train to/from Ena Station before or after the Nakasendo Trail. The small town offers a pleasant stroll with a few hidden gems to discover. Good for a simple, convenient stay."
