Guest Reviews

• Carolynn (10/5): Magome is already a charming place to visit, but staying here made it even more special! - You have an option to eat breakfast there or go out. The best part of the stay was dinner cooked by our host Yuji. He caught fish that very day and also served wild boar he hunted. Don’t miss this part of your stay. FANTASTIC! Nothing. The hosts were so kind and fantastic!
• William (10/5): - Great location and a genuinely warm welcome.
• Carole (10/5): -
• Emma (10/5): Wonderful! - Excellent location, beautiful and clean space, wonderful host. Difficult to find parking, but as soon as I called I was personally escorted to a sport.
• Gasparvil (10/5): - On a adoré cette petite maison d'hôtes en plein cœur de Magome Ce petit village est magnifique et le soir les touristes s'en vont et c'est absolument superbe de déambuler seul dans le village. Nos hôtes ont été très sympathiques et accueillants et l'appartement est toute équipé, ce qui est vraiment parfait pour une famille Autre point Positif, quelques jouets pour les enfants.
• G. Bressers (9/5): -
• Shachar (10/5): - The host was amazing, we received the best welcome! The apartment had everything we needed for our stay. It was super clean and cozy. The bed was comfortable, and there was a good washing machine. Beautiful view from the terrace. Great vibe, with cool music in the area near the room. The location is right in the center of the beautiful Magome village. We arrived at night, and Google Maps unfortunately directed us via a difficult route with a very steep and narrow road. The host was incredible, they came to help us, guided us out, took us to the parking area, and walked with us to the hotel. Thanks to them, what could have been a very stressful situation turned out completely fine. We recommend going directly to the parking area and avoiding driving into the main pedestrian street. It’s only a 1-minute walk with luggage. Highly recommend this place!!!
• Follador (10/5): -
• Karin (8/5): -
• Prisca (10/5): Superbe séjour à la guest house Yanagiya! - L'appartement est spacieux pour une famille de 4 personnes,, propre et bien équipé. Les futons sont très confortables. L'hôte est très aidant: avant, pendant et après le séjour ! Nous recommandons vivement le dîner "pork experience" proposé par la guest house, très bon et copieux, avec service en français! Leurs thés et matcha sont aussi très bons. L'emplacement est parfait, vous êtes pile sur la route de la randonnée vers Tsumago. Possibilité de passer par la guest house pour commander un taxi.
• Julia (9/5): Really peaceful and calm. A great base for exploring I loved it. - It was a beautifully kept entire apartment Japanese style with a private balcony. I loved the space and the kind hosts who were very attentive. The location was very central in the village. Nothing. You have to go out of the main apartment door to the bathroom but everything is still private so it was no problem
• Erwin (10/5): Comfortabel verblijf in authentieke guesthouse - De locatie was uitstekend, midden in Magome. Daarnaast waren de hosts super vriendelijk en behulpzaam. De shabu shabu met wild is zeker aan te raden.
• Gerdiver (10/5): fantastic, the best - First a fantastic location, the Nakasendo trail passes right in front of the house. The hosts, Yugi and Gihu are wonderful, kind and sweet people. We had 2 incredible home cooked meals, prepared by Yugi the masterchef. (You have to book food in advance). The best food we have tasted in Japan and beyond. Also the traditional Japanese breakfast, prepared by Gihu was great. The traditional house was spacious, had all comfort and amenities and above all: excellent tatami beds. We've loved it and the kids loved it. Our best experience in Japan so far. nothing
• Boglárka (10/5): -
• Malia (10/5): - Location was perfect in the middle of Magome. Kenta was very gracious and kinds.
• Postlewaite (10/5): Wonderful stay in amazing location, great hosts, clean, comfortable - We loved our 2 nights at Guesthouse Yanagiya! The hosts were so friendly and helpful and very easy to get ahold of. The place is a whole apartment with kitchen and washer included and was very clean and comfortable with thoughtful touches. The beds were very comfortable futons. There is a lovely little balcony with a beautiful view. We had the full dinner course which was hunted and cooked by Yuji which was a highlight of our trip!! He really went above and beyond for our meal. We wished we had booked more nights here as we didn’t want to leave!
• Adeline (9/5): - in the center of the old village, traditional japanese housing (with futon bed, but on 2 mattrasses!!) but with all the modern amenitied. The guesthouse doesn't offer meals but Kenta arranged fantastic dinner and indicated where to find breakfast.
• Momoe (8/5): Agréable séjour avec un chat mignon - Propre et bien situé. Le hôte était actif, prêt à nous aider. Il y avait des serviettes alors que ce n’était pas marqué dans la description.
• Michela (9/5): -
• Emma (10/5): - Large space with great kitchen facilities. Bed was very comfortable and kept us warm at night! Good heating as the apartment does get cold without it. Wonderful assistance with organising dinner. Beautiful spot in town and lovely balcony to watch sunrise and sunset. Note decent incline from bus stop up to accommodation. If you are doing the hike in winter make sure to bring shoe spikes the track can get very icy!
• jeremy (10/5): - Super accueil, nous sommes passé seulement 2 jour, mais le logement est assez bien équipé pour rester plus.
• Paul (10/5): Excellent accommodations and amazing dinner in the heart of Magome - The location in Magome was perfect for us. It takes a few minutes to walk up the steep hill from the bus stop and it centrally located. The hosts were welcoming, the room was very comfortable, the beds were very comfortable (by our American standards), and access in and out was easy. The dinner with the venison, boar, and bear was one of the highlights of our 2-week trip and worth the trek to Magome on its own. The coffee shop down the hill had great coffee and breakfast and the observatory at the top of the hill was great for stargazing. We would absolutely stay here in the future!
• Noor Saadah (10/5): Adventure and reflecting - Its super clean and we get to cook meals with the facilities provided. The toilet and bathroom were separated from the main room. But its all right!
• Matthias (8/5): -
• Teghan (10/5): -
• Leilani (10/5): GREAT, GREAT STAY IN MAGOME! - Great location! Kenta our host was very friendly, attentive and kind. Yuji, his associate, is also very friendly and attentive, and is an excellent chef. If you get the chance , have him cook you a meal! Had to get used to all the plumbing - kitchen, wet room/shower room, toilets - being downstairs from bedrooms. But, that’s the nature of the architecture!
• Tanida (10/5): Great - Everything Smell of gas when we use hot water
• Francis (9/5): De locatie is perfect! - De locatie is perfect. Midden in Magome. Parkeerplaats is dichtbij achter het huis. Badkamer, wasmachine, etc alles goed. Goede hulp en informatie gekregen van de eigenaar. Alles prima
• Matthew (10/5): -
• Atsuko (9/5): Nice spot. It needs 4 hours from Tokyo via train and bus. -
• Moorhouse (8/5): Delightful - Location was great. It was quiet. Reasonable kitchen facilities. All the appliances worked. It was very clean. All the crockery was new and matching. Nothing
• Haslinda (10/5): Wonderful and amazing. - Beautiful and quiet. House is very comfortable.Very kind, caring and wonderful host. Host helped to reserve dinner at restaurant for us as there are limited dining choices at night. Highly recommended. Nil
• Fernando (10/5): - This place was exceptional and was our favourite place of our Japan trip! We opted in for the meal, and I highly recommend it! Yuji's cooking skills are amazing! The mattress was very comfortable! Everyone was very friendly and helpful, and I will definitely stay here again next time I'm in the area. Everything was great!

• Carolyn Pui Yee (10/5): This was our best stay in Japan - The location was perfect and the guesthouse was equipped with everything we needed. Nothing
• Roberta (10/5): Wonderful experience. - Location in the peaceful, historical town of Magome. Very clean and spacious. Friendly, helpful host.
• Cathy (9/5): Relaxing guesthouse in the heart of Magome. - The guesthouse is right in the middle of Magome, had everything that you needed including a washing machine and provided a tranquil setting. The toilet/bathroom was downstairs and outside the central door to the rest of the accommodation. It’s something to be aware of rather than being a concern.
• Lea (10/5): Super séjour en plein cœur de Magome ! - Emplacement idéal pour profiter de Magome quand les touristes partent et faire la rando vers Tsumago Possibilité de se garer à l’arrière très pratique Hôtel très sympathique
• Klaus (9/5): -
• Wendy Hillerich (10/5): -

• Joan y Natalia (10/5): El mejor alojamiento para desconectar y vivir Magome! - Fantástico alojamiento en pleno Magome! Estupendo para disfrutar la ruta Nakasendo y desconectar de la vida. Tanto Kenda como Yuji fueron unos anfitriones maravillosos. Las camas son cómodas y hay mucho espacio en la casa. Tienen también una lavadora a disposición de los huéspedes sin coste extra, lo cual nos vino genial. Decidimos cenar allí nuestra segunda noche y probar el oso, el jabalí y el ciervo que cazan ellos mismos. Ésta cena ha resultado ser una de las mejores sorpresas que nos llevamos de Japón. Sin ninguna duda volveremos a alojarnos aquí en nuestro próximo viaje a Japón!
• Tammy (10/5): - You could not ask for a better location. Stunning views.
• Jindrich (10/5): - Atmosphere, location, vibe, mountain view, coziness nothing
• Vegard (7/5): Sentralt overnattingssted i Magome for vandrere - Stedet er veldig sentralt for å gå turen fra Magome til Tsumago. Om du ønsker å lage mat og vaske klær er det lagt til rette for det. Det er et gjestehus, så stilen er nøktern og gammel, men alt virker og det er rent. Sengene var komfortable. Det var ikke gardiner på soverommet så det var vanskelig å sove. For 25 000 yen er det et ganske dyrt overnattingssted sett i forhold til standarden.
• Moshe (8/5): -
• Laurence Micheal (10/5): Great stay in Magome - The communication with the host was brilliant. Location was perfect and the accommodation was excellent. There's lots of lovely little shops by the place including several where you can buy some simple food supplies if needed.
• DAVID (9/5): Excelente opción en Magome - Ubicación perfecta y estado impecable de las instalaciones. El anfitrión un 10 por su amabilidad y disposición. Ningún aspecto negativo a destacar.
• CEDRIC (9/5): Séjour fantastique. - Emplacement superbe au cœur du village. Diner sur place très agréable. Echange avec l'hôte qui est super accueillant.
• Beau (9/5): -
• karine (7/5): Village magnifique et balade à faire vers Tsumago. - L’emplacement, le calme, le bruit du torrent, l’accueil. Cela sentait un peu le renfermé, les serviettes étaient trop synthétiques et donc n’essuyaient pas très bien.
• alessandra (10/5): -
• noelia (10/5): - Ubicación y espaciosa
• Silvia (10/5): Soggiorno bellissimo e cena FANTASTICA. Merita assolutamente - Ottima posizione e struttura pulita ed accogliente. Appartamento grande. Camera da letto tipica, con tatami. La cucina era fornita di tutto ma “moderna”. (Stonava un pochino con la mia aspettativa di casa tradizionale.)
• Gerard (10/5): -
• Ivo (9/5): Beautiful Photography Frenzy!! [feat.Bears] - The location is beautiful, so make sure you have enough phone memory or photographic film. The host, Kenta, was super cool, if he offers a meal definitely take him up on it. We got lucky and were able to try bear meat since he had caught one in the mountains before we arrived!! Lastly, the property was very spacious and comfortable but still fit the traditional atmosphere of the town. The room we slept in had tatami flooring and a sliding wall closet, that paired with the quiet and traditional atmosphere of the town reminded me of some older anime I watched, which was really cool. Specifically, the water wheels made me think of Hinamizawa from the series 'Higurashi no Naku Koro Ni'. The town is very safe though, unlike the anime. There wasn't anything to dislike, but some might be disappointed about the lack of nighttime activities. That being said, this is located in a scenic town out in the mountains so temper your expectations.
• Felicity (9/5): Superb -
• Hiroe (10/5): Great location and facility. The owner was very friendly - Great location and very friendly owner. Every thing was great.
• Julia (10/5): A wonderful stay. - The location is unbeatable. The accommodation is traditional but very comfortable. We were very happy that coffee and tea we're provided and very pleased to be able to do our laundry. Nothing.
• Diana (10/5): Exceptional -
• Nisha (9/5): Stunning inside and out! - Beautiful, comfortable, with astonishing views and the sound of running water. A very pleasant and helpful host. And the area itself is outstanding.
• Sandra (10/5): Great guesthouse in a great location. - Location and friendly host Nothing
• Shiu (10/5): Exceptional -
• Nigel (9/5): Magome accommodation. - The property is right in the middle of Magome village so perfectly located. It was clean, very spacious and had kitchen facilities so one could make one’s own food or breakfast is desired. I would certainly recommend this as an excellent place to stay. If there was any minor negative it was only that it did not have a TV.
• Linda (9/5): A spacious oasis in Magome - Our host was very friendly and welcoming. This spacious apartment is right on the Nakasendo trail in Magome. It's a steep walk up from the bus stop. We were tired from traveling and were happy to enjoy a wonderful meal in the room. Our host cooked a tasty vegetarian meal and animatedly described the area. We conversed in Japanese. The apartment is quiet with lovely sounds of babbling water. We slept comfortably on futons. It wasn't a problem for us, but if you do have elderly travelers, please note that the bedroom is up a flight of stairs.
• Sara (10/5): Exceptional - Perfect location, the host was very kind and friendly. The dinner at the guesthouse was one of the best we've had so far in Japan (one of the dishes was wild boar and venison). The guesthouse is very spacious and right in the middle of the village.
• Sophie (9/5): Highly recommend - Fabulous location, super helpful in organizing restaurants for my stay
• Suat (7/5): It was a pleasant stay but the costs of delivery of luggage from Magome to Tsumago was so expensive - The accommodation was ideally located on the Nakasendo Trail. The host was friendly and helpful. The bedroom is located on the 1st floor and the toilet is on the ground floor. It would not be practical for more elderly or handicapped persons to manage the stairs.
• Frances (9/5): Superb - Location and spaciousness Great facilities (though we didn’t have time to use them) Thoughtful inclusion of items in the fridge for purchase considering the lack of food/drink shopping options in the town.
• Susan (8/5): Very good -
• James (9/5): Very pleasant. Great location and wish we could have stayed for two nights - Very helpful and kind
• Jonna (9/5): Fantastic stay in Magome - Amazing to sleep in the heart of magnificent Magome. The host extremely helpful with everything: facilitating luggage drop-off in the morning and arranging dinner reservation in a fantastic restaurant. Nothing we wouldn't have liked. The house is clean and spacious, more functional than cosy (typically Japanese).
• Adrian (10/5): Exceptional -
• Judith (10/5): Exceptional - Beautiful home right on the Nakasendo trail. Delighted to have Yuji host us. Yuji is a very accomplished and interesting, hunter, chef, conversationalist- who can converse in multiple languages, and more. We had a delicious dinner of roasted game meat-wild boar and deer, followed by shabu-shabu and mochi ice cream. Our stay was warm and comfortable, giving us our best sleep ( it was 30*F that night). For those thinking twice because of the “shared” bathroom, please don’t. There are two toilet rooms and a shower room- the privacy level was high. I cannot encourage you enough, to enjoy this gracious accommodation. Thank you, Yuji!
• Yih (10/5): Unbeatable location, good value - Nothing beats being in the heart of this wonderful quaint town of Magome and the Guesthouse is situated within the lovely pedestrian street. Starting the Nakasendo hike to Tsumago-Juku from thereon was a breeze and we enjoyed our stay tremendously. Nothing was too much to ask for during our stay (including assistance with driving to a parking lot near the Guesthouse and helping with our somewhat large-sized suitcases, thank you). We had a fulfilling dinner served in the comfort of our accommodation and all of us raved about the comfortably warm futon beds. It was also convenient to have a washer/dryer after a day of hiking. Thank you for a wonderfully memorable stay in a beautiful small town.
• Bruce (10/5): Exceptional - The in house dining was excellent
• Allison (10/5): Exceptional - Beautiful accommodation in a beautiful village! Our host was so friendly and welcoming. We would 100% stay here again.
• Nivedita (10/5): Exceptional - Extremely thoughtful and kind host, beautiful and well-equipped space, and stunning location. Morning coffee on the balcony with that gorgeous view of the mountains was simply wonderful. Magome and Guesthouse Yanagiya was our favourite part of the whole Japan trip. Many thanks to the owner and host, - we hope to return again :)
• Rick (10/5): Perfect - Incredible location and a wonderful host that went above and beyond for us!
• Elena (10/5): Great location!! Host is extremely friendly and accommodating. The dinner was excellent - even for a person who is reluc -
• Phillips (10/5): Our host was amazing and went out of his way to ensure we had a great time -
• Timothy (9/5): 素敵な宿泊でした - This was an amazing place to stay in a very pretty village. The unit was quite large and when we arrived the host made us feel very at home. He helped us secure a reservation at a nearby restaurant for dinner and it turned out fabulous. For breakfast, he provided food for us as many places in the village are closed during the winter off season. The lodging was exactly as described and shown in the listing, very clean, spacious, and had very fast wi-fi. If anyone finds themselves wanting to stay overnight in Magome, I would highly recommend it.　素晴らしいお泊りありがとうございました！
• Iliya (10/5): Exceptional - The guest house is very nice , the room is big cozy and good , the stuff are super nice and friendly the dinner in the palace is also good and tasty with spatial ingredients Overall highly recommended. Thanks to the host it was a nice time there Love from israel 🇮🇱 The dinner is a bit expensive
• Greg (10/5): Exceptional -
• Whitney (10/5): Spacious accommodation in a beautiful location, a friendly host, and an amazing home-cooked wild game meal—one of the be - The accommodation was spacious, extremely clean and set in a stunning location, making for a truly relaxing stay. Our host was incredibly friendly, and the home-cooked wild game meal was both delicious and generous—one of the best experiences of our holiday. Highly recommend!
• Na (10/5): incredibly enjoyable！ - The location of the accommodation is excellent. It is in the middle section of Magome-juku. The scenery is beautiful, and it is particularly quiet at night. It's also very easy to find. The dinner reserved was a pleasant surprise. It included wild boar and deer he caught in the forest. The food was incredibly fresh and delicious. my little daughter couldn't stop praising it. The host is really good at cooking. The host was very kind, and we had a really enjoyable chat. we really enjoyed our stay there, fully recommended!！！！
• Szuchia (9/5): Superb - Staff Not much
• Neil (9/5): Very comfortable accommodation in a perfect location - Location was perfect right in the heart of Magome. The accommodation was very clean and comfortable. Nice kitchen/dining area and large upstairs traditional bedroom. Our host was very helpful and cooked us a delicious meal.
• Rebecca (10/5): Lovely host! Cooked us a wonderful meal after our long day of walking. Perfect location! -
• Jo (10/5): Exceptional - The location was perfect for walking the Nakasendo trail. Dinner and breakfast was cooked by our host who went beyond to accommodate our dietary requirements. It was an amazing experience.
• Robert (10/5): Exceptional - Guesthouse Yanagiya is an apartment rather than a room. It has been very recently refurbished and was clean and comfortable. It is right in the centre of Magome. The owner was very helpful. He contacted us to explain that there were very few restaurants in Magome and booked us a table for the night we stayed. Nothing to dislike.
• Jane (10/5): Exceptional - Good location and clean/comfortable On the slope
• Paul (10/5): Exceptional -
