We continue to serve our guests, as we always have, with honesty and sincerity.
Away from this restless world,
Nakashimaya is a place to feel at home and close to your heart every time you come.
We genuinely hope that when you reflect upon your time in Gujo, you will say,
"That really was a great town."
Our whole staff is looking forward to seeing you.
Nakashimaya young-okami
Our Futon and Breakfast Inn is well suited
for the town of Gujo Hachiman.
You might think upon first arrival there is nothing much here in the deep mountains.
That will change once you visit here.
Being small yet having developed a unique culture as a castle town,
Gujo Hachiman is full of delicious food and beautiful sights on every corner that you come across.
Enjoy a night out visiting some of the locals’favorite restaurants and bars.

BREAKFAST
Every morning, we bring you breakfast to your own room. This hasn't changed for the last 140 years.
People often say that's rare today. Yet, we believe it's fundamental to a Japanese ryokan's hospitality.
We hope after you stay with us once you'll know what staying at a real Japanese ryokan is all about.
* Depending of the number of your party, we will arrange a private room for breakfast.
