A real honor to be able to experience this ryokan ! The room had a private Onsen which was already full and ready for us to use when we arrived. Everything was clean and comfortable The food and breakfast also very delicious So lucky we got to stay here during our trip and we experienced Narai Juku before all tourists came to sight see . Certainly a highlight

The room was super comfortable and roomy. The soaking tub in the bathroom was amazing because you could have it hot all the time. The food was delicious and beautifully presented. You should note that some of the rooms are not close to the soaking pools or the restaurant. You have to go through a locked door to the street, walk for 5 minutes, enter another building for the soaking pool and restaurant. This place has one small pool for soaking so if you're looking for an onsen experience it would not be here.

It’s a journey to get there but once you are there you absolutely love it. The staff and the property I are specifically detailed in its blend of architecture into its surroundings. We stayed in 116 which was just across the street from the main lobby and my kids loved it. We had our very own onsen and sauna like a private oasis in the mountains. And my kids have severe allergies to most nuts and sesame and the restaurant was more than happy to accommodate our needs. Language was the only barrier but that’s Japan and it’s our fault for not paying more attention to learning the language in another country. Besides that, this is an absolutely escape from the busy life of Tokyo. And if you are adventurous, hike from town to town like the shoguns once did.
