Hostels in Nakatsugawa

Rented full house. Everything was perfect: from location to music in CD player

Hostel Yui-an was the most special accommodation in our entire trip to the Japanese Alps. The house is simply amazing, the surroundings are peaceful and the girls who run the place are nice, friendly, helpful and speak excellent English. I would totally recommend it!

This inn brings you back to another time. It’s perfectly located in the heart of a charming mountain village - quiet, peaceful, and very close to the Nakasendo trail, yet not in the overly touristy area. The building is a traditional wooden house, beautifully decorated with tasteful details that make it both authentic and cool. Our room was remarkably spacious, especially by Japanese standards, making it a very comfortable place to stay. But what makes the experience exceptional is the atmosphere: the surrounding neighborhood is wonderfully genuine, and the young owner runs the inn with great care and warmth. He manages to make the experience feel special and privileged. He even took the time to show us the nearby temple and prepared a delicious dinner, introducing us to a locally brewed and quite unique sake. We wholeheartedly recommend staying here and wish him all the best in this beautiful adventure.
