Komagane hoteles

Ventajas: Este Riocan superó nuestras expectativas. Es sencillamente una delicia para los sentidos. Está situado entre un valle y un bosque. La puesta de sol desde las habitaciones es increible. Tienen su propio huerto con el que elaboran la comida de restaurante y también creo qeu venden a gente de la zona. Las habitaciones son increiblemente amplias. La nuestra tenía bañera privada en la terraza. Si se puede, lo recomiendo 100%. Pudimos disfrutar del Onsen privado en familia mientras veíamos la puesta de sol un día y mientras lloviznaba ligeramente otro. El onsen del RIOCAN público es sencilalmente espectacular. Tiene baños indoor y outdoor. El sonido el bosque en el baño exterior es embriagador. En cuanto a cena y desayuno, como eramos un grupo grande (12) estábamos en un salón privado tipo japones. La cena y desayuno, de las mejores que tomamos en Japón. El chef nos hizo un pequeño giño preparando unos croissanes que literalmente devoramos después de varios de días de desayuno típico de japónes (arroz, sopa de miso etc.). También se pueden tomar unas bicicletas para dar una vuelta por los alrededores. Es una auténtica pasada.

Ventajas: The property is quite remote which we loved. The snow and fields around the property created a really tranquil environment. The staff did not speak a lot of English but they tried really hard and were very attentive and helpful always. The rooms were really comfortable and spacious. It felt traditional and modern enough. Tatami floor with a seating area to look out into a very peaceful field of snow with the mountains in a distance. We loved the public bathroom and onsen. The bathroom was very well equipped with toiletries and the indoor and outdoor onsen was really relaxing. It was snowing and sitting in the outdoor onsen felt so good. The samue and hoari they provided for you to wear was very comfortable and warm. We were really impressed. The restaurant served very high quality meals both for dinner and breakfast. We stayed in 3 ryokans during this trip and we were most impressed with Tsutaya Tokinoyado Kazari.

Desventajas: Nothing much not to like really.

Ventajas: Breakfast and dinner were excellent. Room is very clean. Service is great. There are at least 3 staffs who can speak Chinese. Our room has very nice view of Mt. Ontake. Overall, our stay was very comfortable.

Desventajas: No wifi in the room. No shower cap in the bathroom (only available at the onsen). Onsen area should provide towels.

Ventajas: The hotel is beautiful and extremely well designed. It is located in a very beautiful valley with lots of thing you can do or explore. The service is first class and all staffs are friendly. The food was top notch, both breakfast and dinner. This hotel has one of the best onsen that is huge and beautiful, including outdoor onsen. Highly recommended.

Desventajas: none

Ventajas: Beautiful room, views, trip to kamikochi, Chef Ryota Kusube was incredible (made Michelin level dinner despite a challenging audience- no gluten, mushroom, shrimp etc. )

Desventajas: Nothing

Ventajas: All excellent from the hospitality to the food to the staff to the incredible surroundings. Just wish we’d had more time here!

Ventajas: Staff's manner, behaviour and valuable advice. Comfortable bath. Quiet atmosphere.

Ventajas: Quiet peaceful and a nice onsen. I left my glasses at the ryokan and they courier it to me in Tokyo where I received it the following day. Great customer service!

Desventajas: None

Ventajas: Lovely evening meal, after a relax in the great onsen, both in doors and out. Dinner was a composition of lots of flavours, breakfast a similar experience. Room was a traditional room, comfortable and clean. Overall a great place to stay, especially with the pick up and drop off in Kiso.

Ventajas: Staff were super. Sadly it was too cloudy to stargaze but they tried their best. Onsens open through the night. Futons super comfy.

Desventajas: Rooms smelled a little musky. Location is very secluded so it's hard to satisfy midnight munchies. They do have a small in house store that closes at 8pm and vending machine drinks though. And in house slippers were uncomfy.

Ventajas: La amabilidad de las mujeres que lo regentan. Son muy agradables

Desventajas: No me gustó que la hora de check out sea a las 10. Y de 8 a 11 cierren duchas y baños para limpieza. No es normal

Ventajas: Food was fantastic; good sake, wine and beer available. Onsen was lovely. Star gazing experience was wonderful (no extra cost). Staff were helpful in changing our booking from one to two rooms (at extra cost).

Desventajas: Service from front desk staff was a little under par, especially given the price and general very high standard of service throughout Japan. We had to carry our own bags up stairs and the staff were very reluctant to help with bringing them down at check out.

Ventajas: Staff was very friendly and welcoming. Dinner snd bfast were more than abudant. We had so many Japanese dishes that we could not finish them all. It was all very tasty.

Desventajas: We had a room in the old building.. Our room was clean and spacious but corridors needed badly renovation. Public areas including onsen would have needed updating.

Ventajas: Una de los mejores alojamientos durante nuestra visita a los Alpes Japoneses. El hotel está alejado del pueblo, en medio de las montañas. Nos vinieron a recoger a la estación nada más llegar. La bienvenida al hotel fue excelente, nos recibieron en la entrada y nos acompañaron para enseñarnos la habitación y el resto de las instalaciones del hotel. La experiencia del baño con un onsen al aire libre abierto hasta la madrugada nos dejó sin palabras. También dan servicios de masaje. Después de una cena deliciosa, nos ofrecieron un tour gratuito para ver las estrellas, que no hizo más que añadir puntos a lo magnífica que fue el resto de la estancia.

Ventajas: The location is very nice The staff are extremely helpful and nice The food is very nice They offer free star gazing trips The onsen was nice

Desventajas: No comfortable seating in the public areas The futons are past their best. We used 4 each and it was still not particularly comfortable and some of them were stained The only hot drink available in the room and public areas is green tea. Some other Ryokans in the area provide free hot drinks in the public areas. This would have been appreciated as it is so isolated We could only get WiFi in the lobby area Numerous areas of carpet in the public areas are threadbare

Ventajas: Great location to access the ropeway and near the end of of one of the hiking trails. The bus stop is right out front and runs about every half hour. The outdoor onsen is lovely with the trees lit at night. The room is very comfortable with a nice view of a pond on the front side or forest from the back. The breakfast buffet is very good with endless choices...you could spend all morning eating if that's what you wanted to do.

Desventajas: No nearby restaurants and you are only allowed to use the restaurant for dinner with an advanced booking for a large buffet (no lunch, no snacks, no individual meals, no drinks, nada...at any time after breakfast). The doors are a bit thin, so if you have noisy neighbors you might hear them. Most of the staff does not speak any English, so if you don't speak Japanese it will be a little challenging (but doable--the front desk staff means well).

Ventajas: I could see some monkey , they where coming on the hotel yard to pick the grass

Desventajas: The size of the room , a bit small

Ventajas: the location

Desventajas: breakfast room was closed already at 9 am and we were pushed out. Lighting in room/bathroom extremely poor. No reading possible, no proper make up/shaving possible

Ventajas: Easy access by car, very quiet and relaxing settings near mountains, fantastic breakfast, and in-house hot spring. The guest room was clean and spacious enough.

Desventajas: You have to bring towels from your room to the hot spring downstairs, which is a bit annoying. The breakfast is offered in a tight time window (strictly from 7 to 9 AM even in weekends, this should be till 10 in a resort area like this). The staff preparing for the wedding in the morning was so tense and rather mean to the guests who are not attending the wedding.

Ventajas: Good location

Ventajas: Within walking distance to Kozenjii Temple and the station to the Ropeway. I didn't realize how amazing the trail system would be at the top of the ropeway! If you want to hike the Alps, there are tons of options here! We could see the Northern Alps to the Southern Alps including Mt Fuji! The onsen facility was beautiful and large. Great breakfast buffet included. Less English speakers in this area so communicating with staff was a challenge but they really tried to help us, even had a handheld translator.

Desventajas: Communication is a barrier. No staff understand English so that the information is not clear.

Ventajas: Nice hotel in mountains. I spent a relax day in Komagane. Staffs are professional and nice. They can gives all u need. The breakfast is perfect. The location is perfect. Beside lake. The onsen face to forest. In the night stars r easy to see just by eyes. Everything is perfect for me. I’m gonna go there again in future.

Desventajas: None

Ventajas: They guy who runs the place is awesome. Sorry can’t remeber his name but was very very helpful to us planning our trip and finding places to stay down the Kiso Valley at the last minute. He couldn’t have been more helpful!

Ventajas: the owners of the hotel were so nice. location is very remote and we had no car but they were kind enough to drive us to town and the train station couple times.

Ventajas: The location is absolutely stunning - you will need your own transport ideally to get there, up a twisting road through the forest to a hotel surrounded by forest and mountains. The views from our room were just beautiful. The owner, who is also the chef, prepared a delicious meal without any notice (booking.com did not offer an option to request dinner) If you want dinner (and you will as there are no restaurants near by and the chef is wonderful) then try to contact in advance. We enjoyed sitting beside the cosy wood burning stove. For breakfast we were surprised(and very happy) to be served scrambled eggs with ham and sausage. If you want peace and serenity after the busy cities this is the place to come. Oh, and the dog is very cute!

Desventajas: The only regret was not being able to spend longer than one night in this idyllic spot.

Ventajas: Host was a wonderful cook and went out of his way to see that our stay was pleasurable. He shuttled us to and from the station and took pleasure in doing so. Can't say enough about his generosity.

Ventajas: Cost, good dinner and kind and helpful staff and owner. Nice view of mountains. Good for family Cute, friendly pet dog in small garden sitting area outside too!

Desventajas: Bit far off the beaten track, leaving few options of anything to do in the evening (besides staying in the hotel). Less of an issue for just a one night stay though, which is what we did.

Ventajas: Lovely secluded place in nature. Great dinner Great hospitality of Kato and his wife.

Ventajas: Its secluded & away from the hustle & bustle of Japan. Kato, the owner went out of his way to make our stay a wonderful one. Great for nature lovers who enjoy long walks. Close to an abandoned ski resort which adds to its eerie charm. I can definitely recommend it. Food was great & very cozy communal dining area with wonderful views throughout.

Desventajas: Nothing not to like, loved every minute.

Ventajas: Friendly, helpful and generous staff and owner made our stay great. Although somewhat off the beaten track, the guesthouse’s location among trees at the top of a winding mountain road provided fresh crisp air and fantastic views. Thank you.

Desventajas: Not really a dislike: rather a suggestion. It would’ve helped had we been sent a detailed map (in English) to find the guesthouse when our booking was confirmed.

Ventajas: Beautiful location with a superb garden. The bedding was very comfortable. And the hospitality of the owner was just top-notch. I called ahead to let the owner know that I would be arriving at the train station just after 6pm, so wouldn't be there until after 6:30. He asked if I was OK to make my own way there so I assured him there'd be no problem. In the event, he turned up at the station to pick me up because he was worried the local festival parade would be passing through around the same time. He even took me to see them in action. On top of that, as I was checking-in he asked if I'd like to go watch the festival again later. Unfortunately, as bad as I felt, I had to turn down his offer because I'd had a long day of hiking so needed a shower and the bed.

Ventajas: Near the mountain!

Desventajas: Restaurant was closed! too far from the shop.

Ventajas: Comfortable, spacious rooms. Good facilities - lots of bathrooms, traditional bath house, beautiful grounds. Excellent staff!

Ventajas: The hotel is stunning inside, in a great spot next to the river. The onsen are amazing for relaxing after a big day hiking and everything is super clean. The staff were extremely helpful and the rooms really comfortable - comfiest tatami we slept on in Japan!

Desventajas: Nothing!

Ventajas: Large room, we had a private onsen on our balcony which was pretty spectacular.

Desventajas: Massages only for women, wasn’t sure as to why! A far walk from the train station but they had a shuttle bus to take us back the next day. I think because it was the off season most places were shut but there is great food around (across the road I had the best karaage I’ve ever had!)

Ventajas: Fabulous food included in our one night stay. The room was very comfortable and we had our own toilet which makes a huge difference. Lovely Onsen, with robes provided. A room with on the river side, or mountain side would have been better than the street side we had. Would definitely request that if returned. Lovely staff. Very quiet sleepy town, not much going on, but a good stop along the Nakasendo

Ventajas: It was very well positioned in the middle of Kiso Vally. The property was very nicely done in traditional style with the added bonus of a cedar wood onsen on our balcony.

Desventajas: Traditional style includes futon beds which add to the experience but are a little difficult to get used to.

Ventajas: We booked the Japanese style room with private onsen on the balcony. The futons for the beds were very comfortable and the room was and clean. The onsen was a perfect way to end the day! We paid quite a bit for our room but it was totally worth it!

Ventajas: Dinner and the staff who served it were excellent.

Desventajas: The front of house staff were not as welcoming as they could have been..particularly for Japan!

Ventajas: Very clean. Good sized room, we had a small sitting room as well as bedroom as well as seperate toilet and washroom. The onsen was great large and spacious.

Desventajas: Hard pillows, but they seem to be a thing in Japan.

Ventajas: Pleasant staff, free drink if you don’t need room cleaning while staying multiple nights, good breakfast with enough options to choose from, great base for climbing in Chuo Alps

Ventajas: The staff was super friendly and the bed was larger than in most business hotels. I ate at the restaurant and some of the items were better than I expected.

Desventajas: It was just a little to far of a walk from the main station.

Desventajas: Stained comforters, not much variety for breakfast, English tea was not available.

Ventajas: Staff efficient and friendly

Desventajas: Quite a small town

Ventajas: This hotel has some pleasant features by comparison to hotels in big Japanese cities: it is more spacious, the bedrooms especially are much bigger than in many hotels. There is a pretty, Japanese style garden and the hotel is nicely landscaped - there is even a kind of pitch and putt course. The onsens are brilliant - spotlessly clean with good facilities, open most of the day and free for hotel guests. The hotel’s location is a small village 2km south of Agematsu which is the nearest railway station. Taxi from station to hotel costs about 1000 yen or it’s about a 30 minute walk. The hotel is right on the Nakasendo trail. The hotel staff are very friendly and speak good English. Food is strictly Japanese.

Desventajas: Eating in the evening is somewhat restrictive - the hotel itself serves dinner but, in my opinion, it was very expensive. However, there are few alternatives nearby. The cafes on the main road near the hotel all seem to close by 5.00 pm and we found only one open restaurant in Agematsu in the evening and that was fully booked! You can use a JR Railpass to find a place to eat in other villages in the valley but beware, if you are not back at the hotel by 10.00 pm, they will lock you out! The reception area of the hotel is the only place you can use WiFi but it is closed at 10.00 pm and the lights turned off. The atmosphere of the hotel is a little staid and quite formal - it is more likely to suit older guests.

Ventajas: The view was spectacular and the onsen was great. I enjoyed breakfast and was happy that someone on staff spoke English.

Desventajas: Most staff doesn't speak English and it can be intimidating for a foreigner since not many guests from abroad probably stay in the countryside. The town closes down early and it is a bit of a walk from the station but the proximity to the gorge is worth it and 711 in Japan has great meal options.

Ventajas: This place is amazing. Modern decor. The staff are super friendly and welcoming. The food was awesome.

Ventajas: Tranquilidad y belleza del paisaje, confort de la habitación.

Desventajas: La wifi solo está en el hall. No hay wifi en la habitación.

Ventajas: The room was relatively spacious

Desventajas: 1. Room was not clean at all. The shower curtain had mold on it (black dots). We had cockroaches in the room (two!). Also, there was dust everywhere. 2. Shoe polish was empty and used 3. The hotel looks like a storage room (entry and hallway) 3. Parking is dangerous- there is a very tall step the car almost fell when parking 4. The rooms are outdated and not nice I would not recommend this hotel. It is not 4 stars

Ventajas: Super comfortable and great onsen. Love the location-- great for hiking in the hills.

Ventajas: Es original al ser típico japonés, con futones, tatamis en el suelo, quizá un poco incómodo para caminar en la habitación 4 personas

Desventajas: el aseo de la habitación era un solo lavabo mínimo Para ducharse estaba el onzen comunitario

Ventajas: Staff were very helpful. We hadn't booked dinner and it wasn't available at the hotel. They organised a taxi and a table at a nearby pub/restaurant. They had Pale Ale in the vending machine.

Desventajas: Nothing to do in this area. Although we were just passing through there was nothing locally to pass the time in the evening.

Ventajas: Nice and professional staff, warm reception, and great meal. We also love the onsen (hot spring) very much. It’s a wonderful stay at Nazame Hotel after the Kisoji hiking.

Desventajas: the wifi is only at the lobby.... it was not comfortable for the teenagers....
