The Hanaya Inn has a proud three hundred year history, and is located along the Nakasendo, an ancient path from Kyoto to Edo, as Tokyo was formerly called. There are traditional and newer rooms, with fragrant cypress wood rooms evocative of a country home stay.
Day trippers can enjoy the public bath or onsen for 630 yen, while the guests can enjoy a traditional Japanese style breakfast and dinner. The paper screen walls between rooms are atmospheric, but gives a communal feel. If you like to get to know your fellow guests in the communal dining room and public bath, this may be the place for you.
