Find hotels in Kumagawa from £32

The best area to stay in Kumagawa is within the historic Kumagawa-juku district, which is the heart of this charming village.

This area is centred around the well-preserved Kumagawa-juku street, a former post town on the鯖街道 (Saba Kaido) or 'Mackerel Road'. You'll find traditional machiya (wooden townhouses), many of which have been converted into guesthouses, shops, and small eateries. The village is compact and easily explored on foot, with the crystal-clear Kumagawa River running nearby. Couples looking for a tranquil and culturally rich experience will find this area particularly appealing.

For visitors interested in a deeper dive into local life and nature, staying slightly outside the immediate historic centre, but still within walking distance, offers a wonderful perspective. These guesthouses often provide more space and a chance to experience the quieter, residential aspects of Kumagawa, with easy access to walking trails and scenic spots along the river.

The best time to go to Kumagawa is during the spring (late March to May) or autumn (late September to November) months.
