This beautiful preserved building holds many stories and you can feel it when you sit in the still courtyard with a view of the misty mountains. Careful consideration has been put into curating the space to make it feel homey and calm. Fukuta Yasuhiro (the host) shared local wine and sake with us in the charming kitchen and we all gained more insight into the history of the Nakesendo trail. I wish we could have stayed longer. Kampei!

Great location for anyone exploring the Nakasendo trail, MOUNTAinn is right beside Nagiso station. Staff is very welcoming and accomodating, we asked with a short notice if they could come earlier for check in and they agreed right away. The house is very pretty, clean and big, with comfy beds and cosy common area. The little terrace with a stunning view is absolutely fabulous for a morning coffee. There are also some magazines and books to read, and a CD/ radio player which makes it feel very homy. There are 2 sinks and 2 shower rooms which is convenient for bigger groups of travellers. We had a fantastic stay!

This is like a hidden gem in a remote rural area. It feels like it's from another world. I fell in love with this place once we arrived. The owner and the staff are so friendly and helpful. The food (and the sake) they serve is locally sourced, which I highly recommend. The place provides an amazing atmosphere and facilities for all visitors to sit together and chat, which is really nice.

All hostels in Nagiso

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

    A truly amazing place, which could easily be called an inn or B&B because the word hostel does not suffice. They provide a high level of service (for example the pick-up service and delicious pre-ordered food) and the view from the terrace is gorgeous at sunset. The hosts are very friendly and Erika was very helpful and kind (also with giving us a sake tasting). You simply must try their homemade plum wine! ❤️ … We will never forget our stay with you 🤗

    We had an amazing stay at the hostel yui-an. It was a stop for one night in our hike and we enjoyed it a lot. The dinner was delicious and we had a great local sake tasting. The staff was really friendly and made our stay so great!

    Great hosts (we talked with one of the hosts while we eating, about japanese culture and she asked us a lot of questions aswell) Breakfast was nice, basic but everything you need. Diner was great (had pork curry) Atmosphere was amazing, by far the most beautiful hostel we have been in, located in the hills with a few on the forests and hills on the Nakasendo trail. Did a local sake tasting of 5 different flavours for only 500¥ and she also explained a few things about sake. All and all amazing experience.

    We were greeted by two ladies who worked in the hostel that were very friendly and showed us around the hostel and to our room. They have a lovely old wooden bath/tub you can hire to bathe and soak in which was so nice after walking from Magome. Also highly recommend trying the sake flight!

    Hostel Yui An is unequivocally one of the best places our family has ever stayed!! The attention to detail in the restoration of this traditional farmhouse is absolutely remarkable. Our bedroom had the most spectacular views across the rice fields and down into the valley of Nagiso. Dinner and breakfast were delicious and the shuttles to and from the train station made days hiking the Nakasendo Way efficient and convenient. THANKYOU Rey and Hiro for hosting us...it was the kids' favourite accommodation in all of Japan :)

    I loved that we had the whole house to the 6 of us. There were 2 toilets and seperated 2 shower rooms so it was great! We had a BBQ for dinner one night using the hot plate and it was delicious! We were late for our check in but the staff were super accomodating and kept reminding us to drive safe, so really thankful for that! The bends leading up to the accomodation were quite many and we were driving at night!

    My interaction with the staff was the best part of my experience. They were incredible. They were very accommodating to my needs. The hostel is very stylish. The amenities are nice and new. And the scenery is perfect. I hiked from Okuwa that day along Nakasendo and ended here. It seems to draw other backpackers as well, although a shuttle was offered from Nagiso! It was very nice overall.

    Probably the best hostel we’ve ever stayed at. Peaceful locations, stunningly restored and renovated building, great food. Could have stayed a few days, wish we had longer.
