Nakatsugawa Onsen Hotel Hanasarasa

Wonderful overall. Friendly staff who spoke great English. Standard Japanese style room. Delicious dinner and breakfast - local Kaiseki cuisine. The onsen was adequate. We didn’t try the adjacent onsen facilities but you can use it for free. Conveniently located near a bus stop.

The facility was a little aged.

Food is great but for one day, the following days is almost the same. Personal are so nice and kind.

The rooms are very very small, the bathroom is like a campervan bathroom. Too expensive (the most expensive we paid in Japan) for what you receive. The spa (onsen) is ok, well equipped but you should stay there because the rooms are not nice, pleasant nor comfortable. The music in the corridors is so annoying, and the elevator door literally can kill you. It closes, and it closes, no sensor to reopen. They advertise that you can use the onsen next door, but it is a public one that is not worth if you have the one at the hotel.

温泉の泉質も清潔感も最高でした。部屋についてはお値段の割に狭く、ロビーも椅子もなかったので年長者である私にはとてもきつかったです。夕食はどれも手が込んでいて美味しかったのですが少量ずつかなり間を取って運ばれるのでぼぉーっと待っている時間がよくありました。朝食はおいしく種類も多くておいしく頂きました。スタッフのみなさんはどの方も親切で感じが良かったです。お世話になりました。

Non si può entrare in onsen con i tattoo, quindi ho dovuto acquistare dei cerotti per coprirli

The hotel has many facilities we enjoyed, onsen, massage, karaoke. The Dinner & Breakfast was plenty, for us even too much food but everything was tasty and exciting. Next time I would only order either breakfast or Dinner but both was too much eating in a short amount of time ;) They also offeresd shuttle to the train station. The Magome-Tsumago Trail is easily accessible by a few bus stops. Only getting back needs a bit more planning as the buses are not so frequent. We took a Taxi (from Tsumago bus station).

I was a bit sceptical at first because it's a bit older but, when arriving at dinner I was very surprised. The Food experience was very good and delicious. The staff is super friendly. Onsen is a bit smaller but very nice.

It's a bit further away if you get there from Magome.
