Great location, incredible food, English speaking staff, clean room, nice shower/bath.

All good.

The value for money at this charming little inn in Magome was outstanding. The room was spacious, well-heated, and had a traditional Japanese style bedding. The location was fantastic, right on the picturesque main street, making it the perfect base for exploring the Magome - Tsumago hike. The staff were friendly and made us feel welcome throughout our stay.

The menu for breakfast could have been more varied.

I stayed at Magome Chaya for two nights and had an amazing experience. The spacious room had beautiful Japanese style decor and a comfortable futon bed. The hotel breakfast and dinner were absolutely delicious, some of the best authentic cuisine we had in Japan. The portions were generous and worth the money. The owner was friendly and gave us helpful advice on bus times and a scenic walk to Tsumago. The staff were efficient and the hotel was clean. The view from our room was gorgeous and there was a sense of peace and tranquility that made me want to stay forever.

Would be happy to recommend this hotel.

We had an amazing stay at a hotel in the heart of a beautifully preserved village, right on the Nakasendo walking trail. The location was easy to reach from the bus stop, just down the cobblestone pathway. The hotel facilities were clean and well-maintained, and the staff was incredibly helpful and accommodating. Breakfast was delicious, prepared with local ingredients.

Didn't dislike anything about the property.

I stayed at this lovely Ryokan for a few nights during my trip in Japan. The location is amazing, perched midway up the hill of Magome, offering breathtaking views of the valley. The staff was incredibly accommodating, even providing me with a delicious vegetarian breakfast upon request. The traditional Japanese room was cozy and the shared bath was a great onsen experience. The highlight for me was the incredible dinner, with a variety of tasty dishes. a truly authentic and enjoyable stay.

100% Recommend this hotel.

We absolutely loved our stay at this guest house in Magome! The location is perfect for us as friends who enjoy going out at nights, with easy access to the main route and the old road to Tsumago. The staff were incredibly friendly and made our stay comfortable and enjoyable. The traditional Japanese style of the whole place, from the tatami mat rooms to the futon beds, added to the overall experience. The shared living room was a great communal space with a family shrine, TV, and plenty of room to relax. The staff's excellent English made communication a breeze. We also had the opportunity to learn how to make sushi during the traditional Japanese breakfast, which was a fun and unique experience.

We felt completely happy with our stay and had no complaints at all.

My recent stay at Magome Chaya was amazing. The staff was extremely helpful and friendly, making me feel right at home. The meals provided, especially the traditional Japanese dinner, were absolutely delicious. The guesthouse itself was clean and welcoming, with comfortable futon beds and pillows. Despite the rainy weather, the walk from Magome to Tsumago was still enjoyable. The location of the guesthouse was also great, with plenty of interesting shops nearby. I had a wonderful experience at Magome Chaya and would highly recommend it to others.

Authentic Japanese experience with traditional accommodations and friendly staff. Great location along a historic trail. Delicious meals offered with generous portions.

Difficult and confusing access to the hotel, particularly for those driving. Lack of coffee at breakfast.

Magoya Chaya is in a prime location on the Nakasendo trail, right in the heart of Magome. The traditional tatami rooms in the old Japanese building added to the authentic experience. There were nearby convenience stores and food vendors, perfect for budget travelers like us.

Felt fine, no reason to complain.

The value for money at Magome Chaya was great, the room was simple but clean with a well-functioning AC. The location right on the Nakasendo walking trail was perfect, and the staff, especially Jeng, were incredibly friendly and helpful.

The only thing that could have made the breakfast better was a wider variety of choices.

stayed at a cheaper location in Magome, exceeding expectations with great customer service and attention. They went out of their way to help with baggage and retrieve a forgotten item. Room was simple but sufficient. Unfortunately, didn't get to try the food.

limited dining options, shops close early

Great location - 10 minutes up the trail from the bus drop off. Perfect for friends who are going out at nights. Lovely staff - Jeng was delightful, helpful, and a hard-working gal. Delicious breakfast and dinner with a variety of authentic local cuisine to try. Comfortable futon mats in the rooms. Excellent shared bathrooms and kitchen facilities. Warm welcome and friendly atmosphere. Perfect location for hiking the postal route and exploring the area. Brilliant shared living room with a family shrine, TV, and plenty of space to relax.

Felt warm, but no reason to complain.

Magome Chaya: friendly staff, clean rooms, beautiful mountain view, delicious food.

Cannot find any fault.

What a wonderful stay! ! the owners were so welcoming and gave great tips for activities in the area. the location was perfect, right in the heart of the beautiful Main Street. Sleeping on futons and enjoying a delicious breakfast and dinner was a true ryokan experience. the shared bathrooms and toilets were always clean and the shared living room was cozy and inviting. I loved the background music played by one of the guests on their guitar.

While the overall experience was excellent, there were a few minor drawbacks. the lack of clear communication about the check-out time was a bit inconvenient.

I recently stayed at Magome Chaya in beautiful Magome for a few nights. The staff were friendly and helpful, and the dinner at the restaurant was great, although I wasn't too keen on the horse sashimi. The futon was a bit thin, but the fluffy and comfy duvet made up for it. The guests were considerate and noise was kept to a minimum. The town itself is stunning, especially in the evenings when most tourists had left. a lovely experience and I would be happy to stay here again in the future.

Would be happy to recommend this hotel.
