Hotel berhampiran JR Kuramoto station, Agematsu

We loved our 2 night stay in a spacious Japanese-style room with river views. The Inn has a nice vibe to it because it is filled with fellow hikers who share the common interest of enjoying the great outdoors. The onsite onsen was the best we experienced during our 18 days in Japan. We appreciated the free drinks vending machine provided and the dinners and breakfasts were plentiful and tasty. The washing/drying facilities were easy to operate. It is a good base for hiking trails with fabulous views. The township itself has such an interesting history being a postal town along the Nakasendo Trail. No need to pay to visit a monkey park, Japanese Macaque can be seen frequently in this area and were a pleasure to photograph.

お仕事ではなく趣味のツーリング、信州周りで使わせていただきました。連休中ということもあって同じような方もたくさん、それだけツーリングにも向いているということでしょうか？ 到着日は寒かったのですが大浴場であったまれました。真夏だとしっかり汗を流せるでしょうか。 Wi-Fiの繋がりもよく、朝食バイキングも美味しくて、減点するところがありません。 またいきます。

なんとこのホテル、日本では珍しい2階建てのビジネスホテル。居抜きなのか新規なのかはわかりませんが、そんじょそこらにゃないホテル。よってエレベーターがないというのもこれまたヒジョーに珍しい。1Fは駐車場が目の前なため遮光カーテンを開けると丸見えですが、それ以外はいたってノーマルなビジネスホテルかと思います。コーヒー無料、朝食無料、WOWOW無料はルートインの目玉サービスですが、朝食は無料の割にクオリティ高いし、ビジネス利用やエコノミーな旅なら全く問題ないのでは。駅から少し歩くが、車利用であれば食べる場所は無数にあり、ソースカツ丼、ローメンと伊那は名物も多く、そばで有名な高遠へも車で20分ほどと近い。 駐車場はEVスタンド2台分あり。 インターすぐそばのルートインと間違えないように注意です。

We stayed here one night at the end of a walk along the Nakasendo way from Magome to Tsumago. The hotels shuttle bus picked us up. It’s about 20 minutes drive. I was given a choice of yukata to wear, but not my husband (as if he cared anyway!) We had a Japanese style room with a small balcony and after a delicious dinner in our own little dining cubicle, we came back to our room to find futons laid out on the floor. We didn’t try the onsen and unfortunately the private onsen was fully booked until 10pm. Breakfast was also Japanese cuisine. The serving staff were delightful. There is a guest lounge where you can help yourself to tea and coffee and newspapers. We were driven to the train station after breakfast. I’m not sure what other activities are available if you were to stay longer. One slight negative- the ensuite bathroom in our room was a bit dated. Overall, it was a great experience.

Conclusions: I stayed for two nights at Tsutaya Tokinoyado Kazari - and the stay is unforgettable. Everything’s was perfect - location, view at the mountains, the staff, the Onsen and the food was amazing. The staff speak some english. If you are nearby them you need to stay at this hotel - it is worth the money. Review: When I arrived at Kiso station the hotel car was waiting outside, where the driver approach me. After 40 min drive I arrived to the hotel, where i got a really warm welcome by the staff. The staff also gave a tour round the hotel, where they tried to explain about everything including the clothes, I could wear during my stay, but I did not really understood what I was told - more about this later. The hotel is located in Kaida Highland in a very small villages - it is so peaceful. There are some farms in the neighborhood, where you can see the small Japanese horses, I did some hiking in the mountains nearby. The nature is very beautiful. The room was amazing - except for the height on the doors. I have chosen a room in western style, because I do not like the Japanesse beds. The room had a balcony with perfect view at the mountains and the sunset. There was a bathtub on the balcony which was amazing, when you have been hiking the most of the day. Breakfast and dinners is included, and the food is amazing. It is Japanesse courses and they tasted really well. The staff and the chief tried to tell about the menu, but it was very difficult to undertand them, but it did not have any impact on this amazing experience. Before dinner you can have a glass of wine or beer in the cozy living room next to the restaurant. In the aisle outside the rooms you will find some clothes - kimonos. One white and one gray/black. When I was introduced to the clothes I did not understand, when I should wear it. But the white kimono is for dinner and the gray/dark kimono is for breakfast. At my first dinner I showed up in my usual clothes, when the rest of the guests were wearing the white kimono. Next morning I showed up in the white kimono when the rest of the guests were wearing the gray/dark kimono. On the second day new guests checked in at the hotel, at they did the same mistake. It was also my first time in an Onsen. I was a really good experience and so good for my body. I have checked at google, what I should do, before i visited the Onsen - i will recommend that. There some special traditions related to an Onsen. But it was so good.

這飯店在深山，名字就是”森林的飯店”，離山下有三公里的距離，而且附近也幾乎沒有幾家餐廳，晚上有營業的就幾乎沒有。飯店本身的餐廳只提供預訂的壽喜燒套餐，沒有預定就無法提供餐點。後來找到一家距離飯店八公里的中華料理餐廳”喜多郎”，勤奮的老闆，幾乎可以說是天天都營業，晚上還供餐到十點鐘，住這家飯店真的需要這個餐飲建議。這飯店的附近景點都很不錯，除了歷史街道之外，推薦”寢覺之床”跟”阿寺溪谷”，就以自然美景來說，真是無可取代，只是實在原始了點，建議千萬穿運動鞋去攀爬。飯店本身有大浴場，但是其實就是一個大浴池而已，三溫暖式的設備是沒有的。不算新的飯店，但是保養得很好，所有的設備都不顯得破舊，房間也大，住起來挺舒適的
