Отель Guesthouse SHIGI, Накатсугава, Япония

A lovely old traditional house, beautifully renovated. Heaps of space, really comfortable with a great location in the town. The host is really friendly and helpful and made our stay very enjoyable. He helped us out with transport and food recommendations, organised luggage transfer for us and dropped us where we needed to be on our last day. A great bonus was the record player and a few records to spin in the evening!

The owner was very nice and the 120 year old house was beautiful. Easily walked there from the train station. Beds were very comfortable

We had the full house to ourselves. The host was super friendly and waited for us when we arrived. The house has a beautiful zen garden, as well as a comfortable and pleasant kitchen and 2 living rooms. We slept on tatamis and very comfortable futons and the entire stay was wonderful. Our host recommended a great restaurant not far from the house that , too, was very special and memorable. Overall - we really enjoyed the stay!!

The property is absolutely gorgeous, the home has been beautifully restored by the wonderful owner. The views out the back windows overlooking the lush garden and canyon bellow are breathtaking, especially with a hot cup of coffee at sunrise. The Beds and bedding were very comfortable and the traditional style bathroom with deep soaking tub was the respite we needed after a long day hiking the old Nakasendo trail. The property owner was so kind meeting us and showing us around and getting to know us a bit, he speaks great english, he also helped us find great dinner spot in a town with few options. The guesthouse is equipped with a record player and cd player with a wonderful variety of musical styles and genres. Needless to say we loved our stay and look forward to staying again when we come back to do the entire length of the Nakasendo trail.

Well... That was an amazing stay guys! Atsushi was so nice and welcoming, speaking great English, and he drove me to Magome - the beginning of the trail. The house is a beautiful traditional house, very minimalistic and pleasant. Everything was so beautiful and comfortable! One thing you need to mind though - the village is very small, and there's nothing to do in the evening. Even finding open restaurants for dinner after 7pm is quite impossible
