Accommodations in Ena

We had everything we needed in a great location. The staff was great and very helpful. We enjoyed the meals and the onsen.

First of all, the foods were all delicious. Eat all you can was definitely more than worthy of the price. Our room with the view of the lake was really comforting. The location of the hotel was close to all the famous tourist spot around the area.

The place is fairly convenient. The room is clean and comfortable with all the amenities required for a short stay. Very polite and helpful staff, not to mention that the food is really nice! It comes with a complimentary breakfast but I had my dinner at the hotel as well and it was great.

Onn Nakatsugawa is a beautiful and modern boutique hotel located close to the train station, in a very centric but quiet area of Nakatsugawa, full of cafes and restaurants. It’s also on the old Nakasendo and you can visit a few of the historic buildings of the town. The hotel is very nice (as the staff), has public baths, free coffee throughout the day and rice in the evening, plus amenities such as toothbrush, razor, yukata, etc. You have to take off your shoes which is a nice detail. We had the Comfort Twin room with shower and it was decently spacious.

Nice owners, good Wi-Fi, nice decoration, very friendly

The owner has obviously tried to make the accommodation comfortable and functional for guests. Lots of extra finishing touches. There are cooking oils, sauces and seasonings to cook with, as well as tea and coffee. The shampoo and conditioner isn’t a super cheap brand which is great. I loved being able to stay near the train station and watching all the people come home at night from the upstairs bedroom window, it gets so busy, it was a comforting feeling.

Great location, the town is cute. The host was helpful and friendly.

The location, the cleanliness, the bathroom.

Even though the photos may look very 90s, the house itself is very cleanly and stylishly decorated. It is very much out in the fields and you hear all the wildlife if you open the windows. The host was very friendly and allowed us to check in later than listed for which we were very thankful.

This traditional inn is a little jewel. We were blown away by the kindness and hospitality of the ladies who run the place. It’s located a bit outside of town, but Emi and Junko were always happy to give us a ride. The meals are gorgeously prepared feasts - good luck if you can finish! The hotel also arranged a “Zazen experience” at a historic temple nearby, which was very interesting. We will treasure our memories of the Totoro and its wonderful staff!

Excellent view and great dinner menu. Love its onsen too.

This was an amazing inn, and our family really enjoyed our time here. Our host Kagami-san was unbelievably attentive and served incredible food at each meal. If you are interested in a relaxing getaway that allows you to slow down and experience a traditional Japanese ryokan, then this is a perfect option.

Everything was perfect! The house is absolutely gorgeous, and the hosts were so attentive! I had the whole upper floor to myself (it's huge, and the view is incredible). The bathroom and kitchen are shared, but I had all the space I needed and felt like I had the house to myself :) The hosts clearly love their village and have a lot of recommendations! I will definitely be back longer in the Summer ♡

Very authentic and in season hospitality and dining experience.

Spacious! We had plenty of space for privacy and for coming together. We could easily walk into town and explore the old parts and shrines and shop for groceries. Cami brought us authentic Japanese style breakfast each morning that were unique and delicious. She also sent information ahead of time so we could navigate by train and bus to Akechi and then she picked us up at the bus stop with a warm welcoming smile. Restaurant across the street was recommended and it did not disappoint. There’s traffic during the day but at night it was super quiet. If I ever come back to the area I would stay here again. Thanks again!!
