My GF's review:
My stay in Meiji Onsen Ryokan was my first stay at a ryokan, and I’ve never felt more welcome at any other hospitality place I’ve been to before, of which there are many. And even after the first day, I am pretty sure it will probably stay this way forever.
I am very grateful for your kind welcome and I am amazed at the work that the team of your hotel does at this place. Everything feels natural and beautiful, and the atmosphere is so peaceful and special.
People who work here are passionate about their job, and as a passionate person myself I feel energized and happy to see others be so amused about what they do.
I will always remember my first stay here and I will compare other ryokans I go to with Meiji Onsen Ryokan, because I feel that it’s the best ryokan in Japan.
Thank you so much for this amazing experience.
And Okami-chan is the best girl in all of Nagano! When I come back home, I will tell everyone who she is and where she is from - Meiji Onsen Ryokan, Chino, Nagano, Japan! 🇯🇵
(As a fantastic bonus, it’s even allowed to go in with uncovered tattoos! Not every ryokan can match up to that!)

Simply a wonderful place. The food was excellent, the room was very large and spacious. The open-air bath was also excellent. Special thanks to the staff for such a warm welcome. I really want to come back again.

Guest UserOur staying here was a pure pleasure! And I must say, it exceeded all our expectations! From the moment we arrived, the staff was incredibly welcoming and attentive, making the check-in process smooth and hassle-free. The room was spacious, clean, and beautifully decorated, providing a perfect retreat after a long day of exploring.
The location of the hotel is fantastic, sarrounded by montains and river. The free shuttle from Chino Station makes getting here quite easy.
Enjoying the onsen was a delightful experience, offering pleasure for all your senses: the hot spring water, the sounds of nature, the beautiful scenery.
The traditional kaiseki dinner was exceptional! Each dish was thoughtfully prepared, showcasing fresh, local ingredients. The flavors were rich and well-balanced, with a perfect blend of spices. The atmosphere was cozy and inviting, making the dining experience even more enjoyable. Overall, it was a delightful culinary experience that complemented the serene surroundings perfectly!
I highly recommend this hotel for anyone looking to escape and rejuvenate in nature, have a comfortable and pleasant holiday away from the noisy and crowded big city. I can't wait to return during other season! Thank you!

This time I am traveling to Nagano County by car with my family. If it is not self-driving, the Little Waterbird Hotel is not easy to reach. Maybe April has passed the ski season. The scenery and atmosphere on the road and around the hotel are deserted. The hotel is said to be renovated soon. So the facilities are clean. Only the stairs on the slope in front of the door are dilapidated. We booked hotel breakfast and dinner. The ingredients are all local fresh products. The cooking taste is acceptable. Because there was only one group of our guests on the day of check-in, we loaned the hot spring to our family to take turns to use it. Generally, there is no problem. Overall, this small hotel has nothing to dissatisfaction and no surprises.

There are many snow fields near the hotel, one of which is a children's paradise, which is really suitable for family self-driving travel.

YINGThere is a bus transfer from the JR Keke Station to the hotel, and the traffic is quite convenient. The mountain is relatively quiet, the hotel staff is English, the service is in place and warm. There are lakes, woods, mountains, hot springs and snow fields in the resort, where you can enjoy a few days of peace of mind. On the second day of our stay, we went to the far ski resort. The hotel staff helped to book a taxi. We also asked if we need a taxi to return. After confirmation, I also helped the driver to confirm the return time, which greatly helped us communicate with the driver. (There are more local tourists in Japan here, and the English level of restaurants and drivers is limited)

NevertityThe house designed very beautifully and cozy which gives one the feeling of tranquility. The facilities and equipment is perfect. They provide a vase and scissors for picking flowers outside the house which is very interesting and lifestyle. The amplifier and projector are marvelous which enhance the our stay. Really love the idea of living with the nature. A must come recommendation.

This time I came to Tokyo, I just wanted to find a ”clean + convenient” hotel.
The result was unexpectedly lived in a place that people were reluctant to check out.
🌙 The first feeling of the room:
Clean to light, the light is warm, and there is no filter for taking pictures.
The mattress is moderately firm and feels straight to dawn.
🛁 Bathroom bonus points:
There is a big bathtub (it really takes a bath all day trip),
The spare parts are complete, the hair dryer is large enough to blow into anger.

Stayed in March 2024. I have stayed at this hotel many times. This was the first time I booked through Trip.com. The website said it was a one night, two meals plan, but when I arrived at the hotel, I was told it was a one night stay without meals. We argued over the counter, but no one could come to an agreement. I called Trip.com and explained the situation. They admitted that I had booked a one night, two meals plan, but the hotel had received the reservation information from the wholesaler, Rakuten Travel, so I decided to hang up and wait to confirm with Rakuten Travel. When I called back, Trip.com proposed that I pay the hotel for two meals at once, and then Trip.com would transfer the amount later. There was no guarantee that the money would be transferred, and if it wasn't transferred, it would be a loss for us, so it was not a very good idea, but dinner time had already started, so I accepted it. I paid for the meal at the front desk, ate, and sent the receipt to Trip.com from my room.
After I told them my transfer details, the amount was transferred the next day, so there was no expense for me, but I hope this never happens again.
