This brand spanking new hotel (as of 2018) is an excellent place to stay in Nakamura and to use as a base to explore the Shimanto area. Rooms may be a tad small, but the facilities are excellent with free parking out front and a ¥500 buffet breakfast. It's a short walk from JR Nakamura Station on Rte 56.
