I loved the atmosphere in Magome Chaya, it is traditional, and I enjoy the futon beds which can feel a bit hard for someone prefering soft matrasses. We had a lovely view from our room overlooking the mountains. The day we were in Magome was very warm but inside it was cool and pleasant. We additionally ordered food ( breakfast and dinner) in vegetarian option which was delicious. Host was very friendly and helpful

We stayed here after hiking between Tsumago and Magome. The host replying to messages through booking.com was *very* helpful to guide as as to when we should hike and the local bus schedule. Food was great! Rooms and accommodations were as expected.

The property is in the middle of the built up area and is easy to get to. we were able to check in early and leave our bags. the room was spacious and very clean. The staff were so friendly! The dinner, while extra, was wonderful and breakfast was equally as good. I will definitely stay here again!

Andrea United States of America

it’s a very traditional ryokan (japanese country inn). The building itself is a very old fashioned wooden structure. The rooms have sliding doors and tatami mat floors. The hosts are very nice and speak good English, and make a damn good japanese dinner and breakfast for an extra 3300 and 1100 yen respectively. The clientele was mostly western tourists and I had a great time getting to know my fellow travelers.
