The place is absolutely gorgeous. We saw monkeys in the trees while admiring their spectacular mountain and valley views. The love put into this building shows. You can feel it in every room. Our family of four stayed comfortably in one room with five comfortable futons on tatami. There are two toilet rooms, double sinks, and a shower/tub room that is shared with other guests. It is set up very well and was no problem sharing. There is also a washing machine/dryer if needed for ¥300. The curry dinner was delicious and they even offered a vegan stew that was gluten free for a member of our family. We enjoyed the 5 sake tasting served by Erica, who was delightful. All staff spoke English and could not have been nicer. Our son had an earache and needed medical attention and the owner did not stop trying to help until he found a hospital with an ENT to see us that day! The staff deserves more praise than I have words. We loved this stay. Highlight of our trip. Very relaxing, zen place to be after hiking the Nakasendo trail.

Excellent attention from Jakkun, starting from arrival, explaining the history and authenticity of the inn and it's traditions as well as arranging ebikes for use in the area the following day Nothing was too much trouble. We loved being in a really authentic Japanese house - with plenty of accommodation. Highly recommend this accommodation.

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.
