Thank you very much for the wonderful time that I was able to enjoy so much.After we met, we were given some cold tea and had a big smile on our faces.The room was very spacious and I felt comfortable. The Rakugan served with tea was very delicious, and the tea was also very delicious.The hot springs were also very pleasant and made me happy.Dinner and breakfast were very delicious, each dish had a careful taste, and my children and I thoroughly enjoyed every bite.This is my first time experiencing such delicious food. They serve the food with a kind smile and I am very satisfied with the space. thank you very much. It was so delicious that I would like to experience it again, so I will stay there next time.It seems like we happened to be able to stay on a nice day, so we decided to enjoy Kagura at a shrine at night. I was able to go see the show, and in the morning I was able to participate in the morning service at the inn, which was a very rewarding experience.I think I was very lucky to be able to stay at this inn this time.It was a very fulfilling stay at the ryokan, so thanks to everyone's support, the trip was filled with many good things. Thank you for making me feel happy.After checking out and visiting the Okusha Shrine, I went shopping at a souvenir shop adjacent to the inn, and the person who had served me the previous day's meal served the cash register and said a few words to my child. I was very happy.thank you very much. I hope that the people of Nakatani Ryokan will find much happiness.

This is an inn (shukubo) with a splendid appearance right in front of Chusha. The people at the inn were very kind and I had a comfortable stay. What is noteworthy is the quality of the food. The soba and tempura were better than other soba restaurants in Togakushi. We enjoyed dishes made with seasonal wild vegetables and mushrooms. This is an inn that I would definitely like to stay at again.

Although it is a Shinto inn, it is a fine inn. The atmosphere is very good, and the room is large with two spaces such as an indoor bath. You can also enjoy plenty of local food. I enjoyed the delicious arrangement. The soba is more delicious than the soba restaurants nearby. I also had homemade Nozawana, which had a ginger flavor and was the most delicious Nozawana I've ever had!We had the bath reserved for us, and we were able to use it not only at night but also in the morning.It was the middle of winter and it was cold, but everyone was very considerate and kept my mind and body warm.If you are interested, you can also participate in the morning shift. I learned a lot because it is rare to experience Shinto work.

It is right in front of the middle shrine of Togakushi Shrine, so it was possible to visit early in the morning. It's very convenient as it gets very crowded during the day.The building is old and tasteful, but the inside is very clean and there is a large public bath.Body soap, conditioner shampoo, and hair dryer in the large public bath.Toothbrush, 2 types of towels, yukata, lotion in the roomIf you are a woman and you are particular about your travels, I think it would be better to bring all your own things with you, but since you have the bare minimum, you can travel light.Delicious dishes centered around wild vegetables were quickly prepared for dinner and breakfast.When I stayed there, they also had Togakushi Snow Sake, which I was able to enjoy with dinner.Another feature is that the hospitality of the host was very good.thank you very much.
