Accommodation in Japan: Daikichi Ryokan

Our Rating: Basic

Daikichi Ryokan

Tsumago

Located just on the edge of town's main centre, the Daikichi is an excellent example of traditional accommodation, and one of the most conveniently located inns for exploring the Nakasendo Highway.

The inn's five rooms are small and basic, but ooze that authentic Japanese feel, whilst at the same time commanding excellent views of the nearby wooded valley.

The food is sourced from local produce and what you get is very much dependent on the season. Some of the specialities you can expect to taste vary from mountain vegetables to handmade buckwheat noodles.
