Very close to railway/bus station. Our first Ryokan experience and very happy with it as they had thought through what guests needed and had provided everything needed for a warm, safe, clean stay. Especially liked the ability to get hot water for tea/coffee even on the top floor. Also found a great restaurant just across the alleyway.

A breakfast offering would have been good as we used it as a base for walking part of the Nakasendo Way and there wasn't really anything available there either. We did find an old fashioned coffee place at the station which gave us what we needed. Was a pretty quiet place in the evenings and a bit hard to work out dinner possibilities as not pitched to the tourists which is of course very good on one hand but requires perseverance on the other. That said we were only there 2 nights and had 2 very good dinners.

Excellent location for accessing Nakatsugawa train station and for getting to Magome post town to hike the Nakasendo trail. Friendly reception with great communal area around the lobby and bar. Both rooms and public areas were extremely clean and well maintained, most everything felt new.

The timings for the front desk were very limited, so if it was outside of their standard check-in / check-out window it wasn't really possible to drop off / pick up luggage outside of these hours. The thin walls meant you could hear everything and needed to be extremely conscious of keeping quiet both in your room and in the hallway areas for the guest rooms.

We got upgraded to a very big room which was comfortable and clean. The Ryokan is conveniently located for the station, buses to the mountains, shops, restaurants etc. We were able to drop off and store our luggage overnight the day before our check in which was much appreciated as we went to walk the nakasendo trail. Ground floor bar / communal space was very nice and welcoming and the shared bathroom facilities were clean and well managed. The booking came with a free drink token which was a nice touch for settling us in and there is loads of information on places to eat, available in the foyer. We didn’t need to have much interaction with the staff during our stay but they were friendly and helpful when we checked in and in advance via messaging on this site.

This was a lovely traditional style guesthouse with traditional style rooms and a great common area downstairs with bar and tables to sit and hang out or read up on local sights and restaurants etc. - my daughters enjoyed making origami and reading Dragonball Z comics while the adults enjoyed a beer. The hotel provides a welcome drink and a complimentary bread/croissant, soup and tea/coffee for breakfast. It was a great spot close to train/bus station and a great place to start our walk on the Nakasendo trail. Friendly helpful staff. Very comfortable room. A lovely stay. Thank you!

Firstly, the small town Nakatsugawa is a great place to explore the Nakasendo Way, and the Ryokan O is perfectly situated near the rail and bus stations, and a large supermarket. That it is a ryokan gives it a very appropriate vibe for this historic region. The rooms are a good size and the mattresses comfortable. The share facilities were clean and well maintained, and we never had a problem with access. It was also a great place to swap stories and tips with other travellers in the generous dining / common room.

Definitely needed a few more hooks in our room for clothes and towels!

It was a great Ryokan experience, slept wonderfully in the futon beds and the room was very confortable. The lavatory facilites were very adequate and clean. The staff were lovely! Reception gave us a welcoming drink and had a small bread and soup as complimentary breakfast. The walls in the ryokan are thin and you could hear pretty well the street noises so it was best to sleep with ear plugs, but even the staff mention this issue and offer ear plugs, it was very thoughtful.

We had a fantastic time in The Ryokan O. It wasn’t fancy but it was simple, clean and very ‘hyggelig’ The staff from this morning was especiaæly helpful with sendning our luggage via yamato which we are very thankful for. On the day we arrived, we took the wrong train and ended up arriving after 11pm, which wasafter their normal check in hours. The Ryokan O tried to accomodte that and let us check in unmanned, and even put our big luggage inside put room in advance. They have a common room which we used a lot for eating dinner, since we decided to dive into 7 eleven products during our stay here. We got some coffee as much as we wanted and the staff is helpful with teaching us how to use the microwave. We want to stay here again when we go back to Nakatsugawa :)

The hotel is located at 5min from the train station which is very practical. The room was nice and cosy and futons comfortable. Toilets and bathroom are to be shared (women/men are separated), and these were very clean. The hotel and facilities are well maintained and are enjoyable, clean and cosy and the staff was very nice and friendly. They gave us two tickets for a free drink at our arrival, it was nice to have a beer while doing some origami. They also gave us recommendations for restaurants and tips for our Nakasendo walk the day after. So overall a very good experience and stay at the Ryokan O' !

Short walk from the train station. Welcome drink on arrival. Great selection of craft beers (excluded from the free drink ticket however). They provide great information about Nakatsugawa and nearby attractions. Information about nearby restaurants are detailed and definitely appreciated. The staff are very accommodating. The lounge area is comfortable and inviting. The rooms themselves are decent in size and comfort.

The 2F and 3F layout is kind of weird - go up to 2F then pass through the entire hallway to get to the stairs to 3F. Breakfast options are neither appetizing or good, but they are cheap at only 500 yen.

Just a 10-minute walk from the train station. The reception and bar area was cosy and nice to mingle with other guests. The communal toilets and showers were extra clean. This is a great starting point to walk the Nakasendo kodo. Every evening we've got a complimentary drink.

The women's toilets and showers are on the first floor and our room was on the second so I had to go up and down the stairs. It was no problem for me, but it could be for someone with limited mobility. There is no lift.
