MOUNTAinn Nagiso

We loved our stay in MOUNTAinn. Our group of 7 rented the entire house and loved the quirky atmosphere, cosy gathering spaces and great location.

The Airbnb had everything we need for an overnight stay. As there were almost no restaurants near MOUNTAinn, we brought local ingredients from the supermarket and enjoyed our cooking at the spacious, well equipped kitchen. The rooms and beds are clean. The river view of the balcony was excellent, but it's too cold for us to stay there for a long time coz it's still cold in early March. I appreciate the patience of the lady staff until like 5pm as I didn't respond their messages (reminded me to tell them when I was about to reach Nagiso) because we were busy hiking during the day.

Only one - the entire holiday house was originally a little inn with a cafe. The "shop front" and its door of entrance were made of glass, so the passers-by might mistake this as a shop when it's not anymore, and they might stop by and look inside through the glass. It's a bit odd for those who live inside like us. Perhaps the owner can paste some wall paper or anything nice on the glass to block people from seeing from outside. The rest was perfect.

This is not a hotel, so there is no breakfast. The location of the accommodation is very convenient, right opposite the JR station. The staff is very helpful. The place is very clean. The bedroom is air-conditioned with heat. It was a nice experience.

Every single thing in this place is beautiful with the most wonderfully designed restoration work I’ve ever seen. The owners clearly love and care for this place and have done everything to make it welcoming for guests. We absolutely loved it. We hiked from the door to Tsumago down the Nakasendo trail and got the bus back. We got most meals from the grocery shop 50m away. The location across from the train makes it perfect for getting around. We loved our stay!

It was a little tricky managing a 1 year old who’s not quite walking but reaching everything here. There’s lots of beautiful but breakable things and steps. We’d still have booked it knowing all this because the house is so perfect. In fairness if we just had the baby it would have been easy but we’d 2 other kids to watch too! The staff who showed us the space were so considerate of the kids and having a room they could run around in easily plus a bed setup that worked so well for us.

The staff were very responsive and friendly! The location was excellent being located right next to the train station. There were excellent amenities with a full kitchen. The entire place was very well decorated and very homely. I would recommend it to anyone travelling around Nagiso!
