Step back in time with a stay at Minshuku Shimada, a family-run inn nestled in the heart of the beautifully preserved post town of Narai-juku. Here, you'll be welcomed with genuine warmth by the elderly couple who own the inn and treated to an incredible multi-course kaiseki dinner that's a true culinary experience. The traditional tatami rooms are cozy and authentic, offering a peaceful retreat after a day spent exploring the historic Nakasendo trail right outside your door.
