Best Okuwa Hotels

Hotel room is pretty decent, however there is only public toilet and bathroom. The microwave is not as clean as it should be. Ryokan is actually pretty far to walk from the station, and does not have convenience store or much restaurant nearby. However, it can be a pretty good pit-stop for backpackers/long distance trekkers to rest in. I will recommend people who is visiting this ryokan to either use the bus service(apparently there is a bus to and from the ryokan to the station), or to drive in. Prepare food in advance if you did not reserve an meal. Peaceful place to chill in tho :)

Wow! Amazing hotel, difficult to get to on foot but actually close to the nakasendo trail. The rooms are authentic traditional Japanese, fantastic buffet, incredible onsen, we highly recommend this if you are hiking the nakasendo trail.

A little extra-centre of the city, but there are buses that allow it to approach enough. The hotel was very comfortable and the room was very comfortable.

I used it with my friend for the night before climbing Mt. Kisokomagatake, and it was a really wonderful hotel. Needless to say, the superb view of Mt. Houkendake and Senjojiki Cirque, which is approaching on a spectacular scale, was the highest ranked location in Japan. It was a highly satisfying hotel that made me want to doubt it. The wooden deck and stylish cafe-style lounge were undergoing renovation work, so I think it will be an even more wonderful hotel when completed. We look forward to the future! Below are my personal tips ・The view from the window of the guest room on the east side, from before dawn to the sunrise (gradation change between the sea of clouds and the sunrise), was an out-of-this-world view. ・I was surprised by the floor heating in the bath dressing room. ・”Luggage storage for guests” service, which is very appreciated by climbers of Mt. Next time I would like to visit with my family.

Amazing hospitality, sweetest hosts ever!

The traditional ryokan was very charming and perfectly alluring. The decor of traditional artifacts of the Edo period gave a pleasant insights to a former opulence. The inside and outside onsens were clean with a clear zen and ambiance. How I love the traditional kimono-styled house clothes offering a comfortable restorative relaxing dress code.

Decided to stay here as part of my Nakasendo hike. Nice, clean hotel. The dinner was amazing, and breakfast buffet is free for all guests. No private showers, but that's okay in Japan. It's quite a walk from the station however, about 10-15mins.

It was great.
