This was the most expensive place we stayed during our visit but was totally worth it - it is a truly magical. The rooms, staff and food were some of the best we encountered during our stay in Japan. Being in Narai in the morning and evenings when there is nobody else around is something special. Totally peaceful and relaxing after a hectic few days in Tokyo. Note there is not much to do in Narai, but that is the point. Come here to unwind, switch off and enjoy the amazing food.
Byaku was the icing on the cake of the Nakasendo trail. Beautifully restored historic building with such attention to detail in every aspect. The team were wonderful, the food based on local ingredients was delicious and interesting. Just a wonderful place if you want a flavour of Edo Japan in a modern luxurious way. Cannot recommend highly enough, just perfect..
A beautiful place in a beautiful location. Food was good. It’s impressive how they have transformed this into a beautiful space. I had to give the room 3 star because it was just too dark with the room I was given. With my old eyes I could barely see in the living room. In the bedroom was better but also not ideal. If you are no good with dark spaces important you ask for a brighter lit room - especially for the room rate I think you should ask.
