A 140-year-old samurai-style inn in a quiet post town on the Nakasendo. One floor — or the whole house — entirely yours: dinner by the hearth, beer brewed only for this house, and the old road to yourself in the morning, before anyone else wakes.
Most travellers pass through Tsumago and Magome and never see what happens after the buses leave. Kashiwaya is for the ones who stay — an evening by the hearth over a nabe dinner, a beer brewed only for this house, and a street that has carried travellers for 140 years, quiet again by nine.
Two rooms, one group per floor — or the whole kominka to yourselves. Direct bookings save 15% with code KISO15.
