BYAKU Narai

趣のあるホテル

今まで泊まった中で最高のホテルです。このレビューを読んでいるということは、日本の田舎に行くことをすでに決めているということです。白鵬は町をほぼ独占しています。他にも旅館はありますが、ここのクオリティーには遠く及びません。また、夜遅くまで営業している唯一のレストランがあり、素晴らしいです!!! さらに、金曜/土曜/日曜に予約すれば、温泉の隣にある酒蔵を楽しむことができます。また、専用の温泉付きの部屋も予約してください。公共の温泉は男女別ではないので、それだけの価値があります。

比類のない礼儀正しさと細部への配慮。10日間の日本旅行で泊まった場所の中で断然最高でした。数百年前に遡る宿場町にある美しい建物とデザイン。本当にユニークです。特に「寒い」季節には、交通手段を必ず用意してください。3月末に行ったのですが、タクシーが見つからず、数少ない電車に乗るために中山道のハイキングを諦めざるを得ませんでした。

This is a very unique hotel, and you will remember staying here the rest of your life. Our room was down the street from the main building, which was inconvenient. It was also right next to the railroad track. Find out where your room is located. Going up to the bedroom was a little like climbing a latter. For two senior citizens, I considered it somewhat dangerous. Dinner was wonderful, but we got a laugh out of being the only ones in the dining room not wearing the hotel-provided pajamas. I wouldn't stay here again because it was a lot of work, but it was memorable. The town is very cool, but a day trip might be a better option.

What an amazing hotel. The architecture, the attention to detail. I've stayed in nice hotels around the world and this would stand out anywhere. Certainly one of the most memorable and to find this in the Nakasendo is amazing. I remember coming across this hotel by chance off a YouTube video (channel: Abroad in Japan), and it was the push I needed to come to the Nakasendo, because I wanted to stay in a completely modern hotel. And so I built my trip around staying here. Making a non-refundable reservation at Byaku 8 months ago felt like taking a chance because there were only 3 reviews on Tripadvisor, and only a handful more on Google, and I didn't know my bearings around the area... and it was the right choice. Knowing what I know now, I'd absolutely do it all over again. A lot more reviews on Google now too. I guess no one uses this site anymore ;) Byaku is amazing. I know I already said that. They started off with 2 or 3 buildings. Now they have 16 rooms across 4 buildings. I stayed in Room 110, it was beautiful. Absolutely go for the dining-included option, because their restaurant, Kura, is where you're going to have the best meals in the Nakasendo. 1 night is not enough. 3 nights might be too much. 2 nights felt perfect. Things to do in Narai town... not much. Day hikes around using the hotel as a base. Our main highlight in Nakasendo was taking the train to Nagiso to get to Tsumago, and hiking Tsumago to Magome. Take note the local trains to/from Narai station are not very frequent so make a note of the timings!
