Koshinzuka - Nagano

When they visit them, they must book in this minshuku. they could eat traditional dishes with a vegan version if they ask the owner before. the house is amazing near a river and the meal is delicious.

We had the most beautiful stay in koshinzuka in tsumago when we walked a few days on the nakasendo. it is so hard to find a minshuku or ryokan that can accommodate vegan or vegetarian and find one that not only prepares really amazing food (most of them fresh from the garden), but that was so inviting. there is only one handful of guest rooms, and the stay was very personal, as accepted in the family for a night. at dinner we talked about the city and region, and after dinner we went outside to learn a folk dance and catch flowing noodles from a bamboo tube. the minshuku is located a short walk in front of the picturesque old town of tsumago. absolutely recommended when located in the opposite.

I just wanted to make a recommendation for an amazing minshuku that we stayed in the kiso valley. it is called koshinzuka and is close to tsumago. I had spent age groups trying to find a place to stay for our trip that could bring to my vegan lifestyle. I have sent many ryokan and minshiku by e-mail, and they all could not have vegan (or even vegetarian) diet. this place had a place for food intolerances on their booking form, so I was hopeful and am so glad that they had burst as it was incredible! the owners were amazing, and eating was all vegan and excellent. we had gohei mochi for dinner, made from walnuts the owners grew in their garden, and we were shown photos of the last harvested. the owner, masa san, spoke to us through every court and showed us photos from the history of the anwesen, which is over 100 years old. he taught us about local traditions and even sang folk songs after dinner. we hadn't asked. there is a bus stop right outside, and we wandered from here to tsumago, then continue to magome, get the bus back to tokio. I recommend it to a friend who has booked for april, and it was fully booked so that I very happy that we managed to stay as the only guests last week! it was ¥7,500 each for the night, including all food. please go!

If you visit this area, you need to book in this minshuku. You could eat the traditional dishes with a vegan version if you ask the owner beforehand. The house is amazing near a river and the meal is delicious.

We had the most wonderful stay at Koshinzuka in Tsumago when walking a few days on the Nakasendo. It's so hard to find a minshuku or ryokan that can accommodate vegans or vegetarians. And to find one that not only prepared truly amazing food (most of it fresh from the garden), but that was so welcoming. There are only a handful of guestrooms, and the stay was very personal, like being adopted into the family for a night. At dinner, we were told stories about the town and region, and after dinner, we went outside to learn a folk dance and catch flowing noodles out of a bamboo pipe. The minshuku is located a short walk before the picturesque old post town of Tsumago. Absolutely recommended whenever you find yourself in the area.
