Who would want to stay at such an inconvenient place? Exactly the same type of person who would skip the bus to walk from Magome to Tsumago as the samurai did.

At Maruya, guests can enjoy an old-fashioned hearth as well as a restored earthen-walled storehouse. Food is prepared by the proprietress with the menu based on what is in season that day. With a capacity of up to just 13 guests, Koshinzuka is the smallest of the four. The owners grow their own rice and have been known to serenade their guests with traditional songs as everyone gathers around the hearth at night.</p> <br> <p class="p-cms-h4">Hanaya</p> <div class="p-cms-img"><span><img src="https://www.go-nagano.net/hs-fs/hubfs/hanaya.jpg?width=576&height=768&name=hanaya.jpg" width="576" height="768" loading="lazy" alt="hanaya" style="height: auto; max-width: 100%; width: 576px;" class="p-cms-img__image" srcset="https://www.go-nagano.net/hs-fs/hubfs/hanaya.jpg?width=288&height=384&name=hanaya.jpg 288w, https://www.go-nagano.net/hs-fs/hubfs/hanaya.jpg?width=576&height=768&name=hanaya.jpg 576w, https://www.go-nagano.net/hs-fs/hubfs/hanaya.jpg?width=864&height=1152&name=hanaya.jpg 864w, https://www.go-nagano.net/hs-fs/hubfs/hanaya.jpg?width=1152&height=1536&name=hanaya.jpg 1152w, https://www.go-nagano.net/hs-fs/hubfs/hanaya.jpg?width=1440&height=1920&name=hanaya.jpg 1440w, https://www.go-nagano.net/hs-fs/hubfs/hanaya.jpg?width=1728&height=2304&name=hanaya.jpg 1728w" sizes="(max-width: 576px) 100vw, 576px"></span></div> <p class="p-cms-p"><strong>Website</strong>: <a href="http://hanaya-tsumago.jp/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Hanaya's official website (Japanese)</a></p> <p class="p-cms-h4">Maruya</p> <p class="p-cms-p"><img src="https://www.go-nagano.net/hs-fs/hubfs/maruya.jpg?width=1280&height=800&name=maruya.jpg" width="1280" height="800" loading="lazy" alt="maruya" style="height: auto; max-width: 100%; width: 1280px;" srcset="https://www.go-nagano.net/hs-fs/hubfs/maruya.jpg?width=640&height=400&name=maruya.jpg 640w, https://www.go-nagano.net/hs-fs/hubfs/maruya.jpg?width=1280&height=800&name=maruya.jpg 1280w, https://www.go-nagano.net/hs-fs/hubfs/maruya.jpg?width=1920&height=1200&name=maruya.jpg 1920w, https://www.go-nagano.net/hs-fs/hubfs/maruya.jpg?width=2560&height=1600&name=maruya.jpg 2560w, https://www.go-nagano.net/hs-fs/hubfs/maruya.jpg?width=3200&height=2000&name=maruya.jpg 3200w, https://www.go-nagano.net/hs-fs/hubfs/maruya.jpg?width=3840&height=2400&name=maruya.jpg 3840w" sizes="(max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px"></p> <p class="p-cms-p"><strong>Website</strong>: <a href="https://tsumago-maruya.com/?lang=en" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Maruya's official website (English)</a></p> <p class="p-cms-h4"><span>Koshinzuka</span></p> <p class="p-cms-p"><img src="https://www.go-nagano.net/hs-fs/hubfs/Tsumago%20kohshinzuka.jpg?width=1024&height=541&name=Tsumago%20kohshinzuka.jpg" width="1024" height="541" loading="lazy" alt="Tsumago kohshinzuka" style="height: auto; max-width: 100%; width: 1024px;" srcset="https://www.go-nagano.net/hs-fs/hubfs/Tsumago%20kohshinzuka.jpg?width=512&height=271&name=Tsumago%20kohshinzuka.jpg 512w, https://www.go-nagano.net/hs-fs/hubfs/Tsumago%20kohshinzuka.jpg?width=1024&height=541&name=Tsumago%20kohshinzuka.jpg 1024w, https://www.go-nagano.net/hs-fs/hubfs/Tsumago%20kohshinzuka.jpg?width=1536&height=812&name=Tsumago%20kohshinzuka.jpg 1536w, https://www.go-nagano.net/hs-fs/hubfs/Tsumago%20kohshinzuka.jpg?width=2048&height=1082&name=Tsumago%20kohshinzuka.jpg 2048w, https://www.go-nagano.net/hs-fs/hubfs/Tsumago%20kohshinzuka.jpg?width=2560&height=1353&name=Tsumago%20kohshinzuka.jpg 2560w, https://www.go-nagano.net/hs-fs/hubfs/Tsumago%20kohshinzuka.jpg?width=3072&height=1623&name=Tsumago%20kohshinzuka.jpg 3072w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></p> <p class="p-cms-p"><strong>Website</strong>: <a href="https://sites.google.com/view/kooshinzuka/english" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Koshinzuka's official website (English)</a></p> <p class="p-cms-h2">Summary</p> <p class="p-cms-p">Traveling the old Nakasendo samurai road through the Kiso Valley makes for a memorable experience, but actually spending the night in one of the well-preserved inns or nearby hotels can make your time slip to the Edo Period complete. Hopefully this list will be useful in finding accommodation in Kiso that fits your style. Some of the inns are rather analog and require reservation requests to be sent via e-mail. But that and other inconveniences like paper-thin walls are no doubt worth putting up with in order to experience staying at an authentic traveler’s inn on the Samurai Road.</p></div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="l-post-column__secondary" data-sticky-container> <div class="m-column-block-inner c-block c-block--fixed-xl c-block--padding-rbl"> <div class="m-article-widget sticky" data-margin-top="120"> <div class="p-widget"> <h2 class="p-widget__title"><div id="hs_cos_wrapper_widget_f6af5932-5d73-44c8-b015-53b719dab9ac_" class="hs_cos_wrapper hs_cos_wrapper_widget hs_cos_wrapper_type_inline_text" style="" data-hs-cos-general-type="widget" data-hs-cos-type="inline_text" data-hs-cos-field="popular_posts_title">Recommended Articles</div></h2> <ul class="p-widget__article-list"> <li> <a href="https://www.go-nagano.net/en/trip-idea/id21384"> <figure> <img src="https://www.go-nagano.net/hubfs/%E4%B8%AD%E5%B1%B1%E9%81%93%E3%81%AE%E5%B1%B1%E9%81%932.jpg" alt="The Best Walks along the Nakasendo"> </figure> The Best Walks along the Nakasendo </a> </li> <li> <a href="https://www.go-nagano.net/id/trip-ideas/id16300"> <figure> <img src="https://www.go-nagano.net/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/16300_ext_01_id_0_L.jpg" alt="An Ode to Nagano’s Grandest Ryokans (Traditional Japanese Inns)"> </figure> An Ode to Nagano's Grandest Ryokans </a> </li> <li> <a href="https://www.go-nagano.net/id/trip-ideas/id16492"> <figure> <img src="https://www.go-nagano.net/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/16492_ext_01_id_0_L.jpg" alt="Walking the Nakasendo"> </figure> Walking the Nakasendo </a> </li> <li> <a href="https://www.go-nagano.net/en/trip-idea/the-nakasendo-trail-guide"> <figure> <img src="https://www.go-nagano.net/hubfs/blog_assets/nakasendo_guide/tsumago-winter.jpg" alt="The Nakasendo Trail [Guide]"> </figure> The Nakasendo Trail </a> </li> </ul> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div></div></span> </article> </main> <div data-global-resource-path="go-nagano-net/templates/language/en/layouts/global-footer.html"> <footer> <div class="c-block c-block--fixed-xl c-block--padding-rl"> <div class="p-footer"> <div id="hs_cos_wrapper_footer_sns" class="hs_cos_wrapper hs_cos_wrapper_widget hs_cos_wrapper_type_module" style="" data-hs-cos-general-type="widget" data-hs-cos-type="module"> <div class="module_style_spacing module_style_color"> <ul class="p-footer__sns"> <li> <a href="https://x.com/yokosonagano" target="_blank" rel="noopener" title="X"> <img src="https://www.go-nagano.net/hubfs/images/icon-x.svg" alt="icon-x" loading="lazy" width="26" height="26" style="max-width: 100%;
