Yamamizuki Urara Tsutaya

The property is located just opposite the train station. We arrived at 9:30 am, did the check-in procedure, and then left luggage there so that we were luggage-free when we went on hiking on one of the section of the Nakasendo. We did not have to explain, the host simply accepted our luggage gracefully. The breakfast and dinner were delicious. The host and staff were very polite and helpful. Some of the staff spoke very good English and explained to us the different types of sauces for each dish. I think the facilities could be made better with some simple adjustments. The room was a bit small, we knew that when we made booking. However, I think the room could be more roomly if not so many furnitures were put in the room. The public bath room was small. If someone is having a shower, the water could easily splash into the bath water and persons sitting in the bath. I suggest the host to change the male and female baths into 2 private baths, allowing prior booking each time for 40 min. Booking can easily be done by self-service. With these minor adjustments, the stay could be more enjoyable.

this is literally opposite the Kiso Fukushima train station. an old building coverted to a upscale ryokan. when you book for your stay , you will also enjoy their sumptuous kaiseki dinner and breakfast .

Welcoming ryokan in the Kiso area. Nice room, clean. Good food for dinner, one morning we were offered an excellent western breakfast, so was excited for the next morning but sadly it had changed to a Japanese breakfast probably because the other guests were Japanese. We had been in Japan for a while and was a bit tired of the food !.... Towels are bit thin but they dry quickly. Dont provide towels for the onsen it seems. Lovely staff, very welcoming and caring.

We stayed here on our Nakasendo hike. Urara was the highlight of our accommodations. Our room was modern/traditional ryokan style. The dinner was amazing. The chef’s attention to detail was fabulous, flavours wonderful and presentation perfect. I would highly recommend this place.

We felt very welcome here. A very genuine Ryokan experience, everything I had hoped for. The food presentation was amazing, it was a great opportunity to try out a variety of dishes and they accommodated my daughter's 'no meat' diet with ease.

This ryokan is absolutely spectacular. It’s a small establishment with an incredible attention to detail. The tatami rooms are both comfortable and traditional. The staff changes seamlessly from day to night furniture while you are having the most incredible dinner or breakfast. The food is something else: gourmet with passion. What an experience. Kiso is a great base to explore the valley and its routes. It is delightfully void of noise and luxury shops. The ryokan is directly in front of the train station and we just had a fantastic time. Probably the best memories of the whole trip.
