Nakaniikawa District Vacations & Trips from ￥44,649

A beautiful little inn that has two private Sento (baths) and jazz music playing throughout the day. The rooms were clean and quiet. I had a Japanese style room with a futon but Western rooms with beds are also available. Breakfast changed from Western style to Japanese each day; maybe you can request a specific meal type. The Keith Haring museum is just across the street and there were a few onsen and restaurants a short drive away.

This is a great escape from the city and offers many options for enjoying the area or if you have younger children, many play facilities are available. Staff is great as always at any Hoshino facility.

Very difficult to find the location as it it’s nestled in The Forest within a maze of small roads. No laundry readily available and only 2 green tea bags supplied for my three day stay. That said, it is a beautiful location within the forest. Could make it more friendly for international guests with various translations, like 90% of other Japanese accomodations. If you are over 6feet tall (181cm) watch your head walking through doorways 😜
