Hotels With Bar in Nagano Prefecture, Japan

This is a perfect spot in Nagano if you want to take a break before heading to other parts such as Hakuba for skiing . It is literally right at the station and connected via MIDORI where you can buy groceries and with lots of restaurants. Due to fight delay, we arrived late at night at around 10pm. MIDORI shops were all closed but ht path to hotel still open and we can still find plenty of cafes nearby. It has reserved Alpico bus to Hakuba right at hotel or you may go to the regular bus stop at bus station 26 for higher frequency of bus service. Will definitely stay here again if we need to stop over at Nagano. Though the hotel is not new, it’s spacious and clean enough for a comfortable stay .

Spacious rooms with beautiful mountain views. Free parking with a large parking area. The onsen is big and very relaxing. The staff are helpful and friendly. Highly recommended.

This hotel has a really cool design. The room was small but had everything you needed, though there wasn't enough space to open two large suitcases. A pleasant surprise was their happy hour in the evening, and after 9:15 PM, they opened a 'mystery room' with free drinks and snacks – that was a lot of fun! I was lucky enough to meet a staff member who spoke Cantonese; their service was excellent and very friendly. The location is also quite good, about a 12-minute walk from the JR station.

I brought my own snowboard to Karuizawa. It's a 70-minute Shinkansen ride from Tokyo Station to JR Karuizawa Station. The Shinkansen luggage racks have straps to secure snowboards. After exiting the station, head to the hotel service center (open until 7 PM) located on the far right of the 7/11 convenience store at the South Exit (Pic 7). You can drop off your luggage there and then explore the Plaza unencumbered. Take the brown hotel shuttle bus to B21, where The Prince is located, every hour on the hour and half-hour. Your luggage will already be in your room, but snowboards are not allowed inside. Each day, I'd take my own snowboard on the brown bus to the gondola at the East Building. You can buy ski passes and rent equipment there. Ski pass prices are shown in Pic 6. Only guests staying in the East Building can use the hotel's lockers for ski equipment. The West Building also has a gondola, but it requires a short walk. You can't enter the hotel wearing ski boots, but the Makibi restaurant seems to be an exception. After skiing, take the green bus back to the hotel. Of the two onsen, Hongye Bisen has newer facilities and better views from the outdoor bath. All Prince Hotel restaurants require reservations made via QR code. Pics 4 and 5 show the breakfast at the main building, which is high quality and delicious. From 10 AM to 8 PM, you can enjoy unlimited soft drinks in the bar area. Finally, use the luggage delivery service when checking out. I think The Prince offers the best value for money.

Kind staff especially the lady who made sincere efforts to get my computer cords send to me that I left at hotel in Yamagata. She was the best. Everyone was kind too.

This is the best choice if the kids want to ski and the adults want a place to wander around! We can relax in the hot springs, stroll around the outlets, and the kids can ski to their hearts' content. We can also drive to the Karuizawa shopping street for a leisurely walk. It's an effortless trip, perfect!

The hotel is very new and has a strong, modern design aesthetic. The spatial arrangement is also quite different from typical hotels, which I found refreshing! I booked a room with a bathtub, and it also features natural hot spring water! Of course, the public bathhouse design is also very well thought out and comfortable.

It is close to Kamisawa Station. The hot springs aren't spacious, but they are nice. There isn't a convenience store right next door, but it is just a short walk away. All the staff are very friendly! I would like to thank the female staff member at the front desk who kindly assisted me in English. The lobby on the first floor is also really pretty. If you are visiting Suwa, I highly recommend this place.

I enjoyed my stay in this hotel . The room is a traditional Japanese tatami room, very spacious for 2 persons with a balcony facing the river and the mountain. Room is just as shown in the photos. The front office staff are very helpful and friendly. They do speak abit of English. Breakfast and dinner were included . Dinner was multi course Japanese meal using seasonal produce . Do advise the hotel a few days in advance if you have any food preferences as they will try to accommodate. Meals very lovely presented . I stayed here 2 nights and dinner menu was different for each night . Hotel is about 20 to 25 min walk from the bus terminal. Best to pack a hand carry bag instead of a trolley bag as certain part of the trail to the hotel is unpaved and muddy after rain . Or check with the hotel for luggage delivery service Hotel also has a 24 hrs indoor and outdoor onsen ! Spacious and well maintained.

The front desk staff were incredibly nice, always smiling, and provided excellent service. When I went to the front desk to heat up some food in the evening, they thoughtfully asked if I needed ice, coffee, or utensils, which was a lovely touch. The hotel is located above a small shopping center with many unique handicrafts, and right outside the center is another commercial street, making it very convenient. It's about a 6-8 minute drive to Prince Shopping Plaza Outlet. Also, the room was exceptionally well-equipped with toiletries. Thumbs up!
