Very nice minshuku with a perfect location right in the center of the village. We got a nice and bright angle tatami room. The food was excellent and the host really helpful and charming. Highly recommended.

Vincent Japan

Wonderful place, walking in village at dusk or dawn is like in a dream. Best village along nakasendo.

Laurent Japan

We loved the location. It's located right on the Nakasendo in the quaint town of Magome.

Katelynn Panama

The breakfast and dinner we purchased on site were amazingly delicious and bountiful.

Nancy United States of America

We spent two nights in Magome, and since we were advised that there were no restaurants we decided to book the breakfast and dinner that Magome Chaya offered. The food was excellent and well presented with all different dishes and worth the money! We hiked from Magome to Tsumago and took the bus back to Magome. To arrive in Magome take the train to Nagatsukawa and from there the bus. There are only a few busses a day, so make sure you have the correct schedule! (I found good information on japan-guide.com). The accommodation is basic, but very clean and the staff is very friendly and speaks excellent english. The bath was very nice after the hike:-)

Great location on the Nakasendo path, very central. Magome room was a good size for four people with great view of mountains.Shared bath great, children enjoyed very much. Breakfast was delicious and staff friendly and helpful. When I left my phone charger behind, staff had taken it to tourist info to be sent with my luggage. I was very grateful.
