2-Star Hotels in Chino

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!)

The owner and his wife are very warm. I was really grateful for the warm attitude despite the inconvenience caused by the sickness and the fall. The meal was very delicious. Squirrels come every morning. Amenities were also substantial. I want to stay again.

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.

Beautiful place but need to have more directions . Onsen was great
