Everything was fabulous

Extremely beautiful location and nature. Very friendly owners and staff. Ordered a tasty meal and some nice plum wine. Would like to come back again and do some more walking in the surrounding area.

Nothing

Great hosts (we talked with one of the hosts while we eating, about japanese culture and she asked us a lot of questions aswell) Breakfast was nice, basic but everything you need. Diner was great (had pork curry) Atmosphere was amazing, by far the most beautiful hostel we have been in, located in the hills with a few on the forests and hills on the Nakasendo trail. Did a local sake tasting of 5 different flavours for only 500¥ and she also explained a few things about sake. All and all amazing experience.

Low ceilings.

Very beautiful and chill place to stay. The staff were friendly and welcoming.. Hiro-san also provides free shuttle to n fro Nagiso station. Saw alot of cherry/plum trees along the way.

There were a lot of stink bugs at that time. They liked to fly in to the room due to the lights. But one we got rid of them before we went to bed it was fine

We were greeted by two ladies who worked in the hostel that were very friendly and showed us around the hostel and to our room. They have a lovely old wooden bath/tub you can hire to bathe and soak in which was so nice after walking from Magome. Also highly recommend trying the sake flight!

Hostel Yui An is unequivocally one of the best places our family has ever stayed!! The attention to detail in the restoration of this traditional farmhouse is absolutely remarkable. Our bedroom had the most spectacular views across the rice fields and down into the valley of Nagiso. Dinner and breakfast were delicious and the shuttles to and from the train station made days hiking the Nakasendo Way efficient and convenient. THANKYOU Rey and Hiro for hosting us...it was the kids' favourite accommodation in all of Japan :)

Completely blew my mind. Lovely staff. Great old, comfortable building with an amazing atmosphere.

Nothing, it was the best accommodation during our whole trip!

We had the most wonderful stay with Rie and her family! Her and her partner had done an amazing job renovating an old farmhouse. We stayed two nights, but I wish we could've stayed longer! On both nights we had the dinner they offer, which was super delicious, would highly recommend doing that - and their homemade plum wine is a must too!

This rly is just a minor feedback, it would be great to have more options for food - breakfast (toast and yoghurt) and dinner menu was a little limited (all curries). Overall still worth the stay tho!

Lovely decor and design. I felt like I was in my dream home. Also, there only 3 rooms and people tend to have dinner communally so it’s really cosy

Hostel Yui-An is the kind of place I've only dreamt of. A cosy traditional farmhouse in the mountains. A rocking chair by the log burner, a basket of blankets, ambient music playing quietly in the background, a library to choose a book from, and a selection of drinks for a night cap. All whilst soaking in the traditional architecture and the snow covered mountains - perfection. The rooms were traditional, simple, and comfortable. We particularly enjoyed trying the traditional coal box bed warmers. The food was delicious and the hosts delightful. We took the shuttle bus to Nagiso and walked from Nagiso to Tsumago to Magome and back and looked forward to arriving back at this charming hostel. I couldn't recommend more highly.

Japanese style house. Children friendly. Great staff. Home made plum wine and sake tasting were great.

Nothing, everything was wonderful.

This is a very extraordinary place. The owners and staff are so helpful and lovely and they offer a shuttle for guests arriving without car. It is the perfect place to relax, read and find quiet, as it is up in the mountains. The house is stunningly beautiful in a kind of rustic-traditional way and I especially liked the hammock for reading time. I was traveling alone and felt at all times safe, comfy and relaxed.

Best stay for nakasendo hike, very friendly hosts who gave us a hint for the alternative nakasendo trail that lead us through a marvellous bamboo forest

We visited during the winter, so it was quiet cold inside the rooms when we went to bed. There are plenty of heaters provided as well as these cozy coal blocks that keep your body warm at night in bed, but our heads got cold since you have to turn off the heaters before going to sleep (which is fine and makes sense).

Loved staying here! The staff were so kind and warm. We were running late and would get to the nearby train station later than planned-- they were so accommodating and picked us up at the new arrival time. The farmhouse is located in the peaceful mountains. Definitely a nice retreat away from the city and an excellent home base if you are visiting the old post towns. It's such a cute farmhouse!

After staying in hectic Kyoto we loved our three days at this authentic farm. We enjoyed several hikes in the surrounding area and made use of the shuttle service that was great and easy. After our hikes we had a cozy time near the fireplace, meeting other guests and eating tasty curry.
