Hotels near Suzaka Station, Suzaka

I didn't expect the hotel because the word of mouth was severely criticized, but contrary to my expectation, I had a very satisfying stay. It was a pretty hard distance to walk to Zenko Ji Temple, and the hotel parking lot was narrow, and it was hard to stop the car, but the room was larger than I imagined, clean, and considering the price, enough I was able to stay without complaint.

I stayed the night before the test. It was saved because it was a hotel that can park for free near the test venue. However, there are few convenience stores and places to eat around the accommodation, so I think it is better to buy it in advance or eat at the store adjacent to the hotel. It was along the national highway, and sometimes I heard the sound when a noisy car passed by. The building is old, but there was an air purifier and there were many outlets, so I was saved.

Pension Noichigo is located in Suzaka and about 70 minutes by bus from Ueda Station. The hotel possesses 6 guest rooms.

We've never experienced such friendliness and care before. Marina-san is a cool and energetic person, and her staff members are no different. The staff did above and beyond by anticipating all our needs and helping us visit many local attracttions. Kura Guesthouse is unique in how it connects the travellers to the local community, so almost every night we got a chance to meet young local people who come to the guesthouse just to hang out and practice English. Marina-san and her staff are the most amazing hosts we ever had. Every night we talked for hours with them and with other guests. The guesthouse is very accessible, only 40 minutes from Nagano by convenient public transport, and the local towns Suzaka, Obuse and Yudanaka have so much to offer that we felt like we just want to explore more and more. We stayed at Kura for 6 days, did nature hikes, saw beautiful temples and waterfalls, visited art museums and nice cafes, and there's still so much more to see that we couldn't fit in 6 days! Plus, there's a cafe run by Marina's mother and lots of tasty food at walking distance.

This is a hot spring facility where you can take a day trip to the hot spring and stay overnight. Akebi-no-Yu is the only hot spring inn in Obuse, offering a spectacular view of the Northern Alps, the Hokushin Five Mountains, and Zenkojidaira. First, when I went to the bath area, I could smell sulfur. When I first went to the open-air bath, the water was cloudy. The indoor bath was a strange greenish color. I thought the bathtub had green tiles. After we meet up, are the open-air baths and indoor baths different hot springs? That's what he said. According to the inn's brochure, the hot springs appear in a variety of colors depending on the climate, from clear and colorless to green to cloudy. Since this is a day trip hot spring, only shampoo-in-rinse shampoo and body soap are available. There are no amenities in the washroom area. In the room I stayed in, there was a bag containing small cosmetics, conditioner, brush, toothbrush, etc. When I went to take a bath the next morning after 6 o'clock, there were quite a few people coming back for the day. Since it was a Sunday morning, I thought not many people would come to the day trip hot springs even after 6 o'clock, but they started coming one after the other. That's surprising. I think that's how good the hot springs are. Well, the room was a simple Western room, but it was spacious and had a spectacular view of the mountains from the window of the room. In the room I stayed in, there was a bag containing small cosmetics, conditioner, brush, toothbrush, etc. We had dinner in a large private Japanese-style room. It looked good, tasted good, and went well with local sake. The fried food was fried rockfish with black vinegar sauce, and since most of the rockfish were eaten grilled whole, it was unique and delicious because you could eat it from the head on. The one I had was grilled chicken on a ceramic plate with Shinshu miso, and it was a combination of sweet and salty miso and butter. The most expensive local sake was 890 yen (300cc), which I was happy about. The local sake from Obuse was delicious. The person in charge of the restaurant had very good customer service. We also had breakfast in a private room. The rice was delicious and the quantity was good, and we were served coffee at the end. It was an accommodation with good hot springs, a spectacular view of the mountains, delicious food, and good hospitality.

We stayed for 2 nights on a cheap tour around the cherry blossoms in Shinshu, which is a round trip of ”Azusa” from Tokyo to Chino, sightseeing in Matsumoto and Ueda by bus, and going to Takato on the next 々 day. The total amount is 34,000 yen, so I think the cost to divide it into the hotel is limited. So I didn't expect the hotel. Even if it is called Yutanaka Onsen, it is located on Honami Onsen on the opposite bank of the Segawa River at night. Yutanaka Onsen is also lonely, but this side is lonely. I think I'm doing my best while there are ruined hotels and inns around, but the facilities are quite tired. I think the degree of tiredness in the guest rooms is especially advanced. It is a consecutive night for 2 nights, but cleaning and lifting and lowering the futon are omitted. Yukata and bath towels were prepared for 2 nights. In such a case, dinner is a room meal, so the table is placed beside it, and the lighting is not hit, so it gives a dark impression. Room meals are also a point in the tour guide, but it is not a point as a service, but one of the halls is the breakfast venue and the other is the banquet hall, so you have to eat in the room. The reality is that I think so. When I stayed, another group was having a banquet and the sound of karaoke was noisy. It is not recommended for those with bad legs as you go down the stairs once from the front desk and take the elevator. Room meals are a set of kaiseki, but there are two dishes to warm with a stove, but otherwise they are cold. I think it would be good if we could reheat it in the same way. We put it on the side of the stove dish and reheated it. I think it would be convenient to have solid fuel, aluminum foil and lighter. The room has a guide to recommended additional dishes, but if you order, you should make it early the day before. There are few staff at the restaurant at breakfast, and milk and dishes are cut off immediately in the juice, but replenishment is slow. When I asked the staff because the coffee was out, I heard a voice from the corridor saying ”Ko ― Hee Coffee is noisy!” The person came back, so when I liked it, I turned my butt to this side without stopping the cleaning hand and said, ”I'm sorry.” I went to the front desk and reported it and I read it immediately and apologized. However, I know that I am not a thankful person, so I asked him not to meet at the restaurant the next morning. The next morning I was surprised to see a lot of young staff. The only hot spring is fed directly from the source, and the hot water flows so much that it is a waste. It was nice to collect a little. There is no sauna, but the open-air bath was also good. It was a bit disappointing stay, but there is no bad impression except for breakfast.

The bus from Shinjuku station can go directly, but Nagano station was a little far from the hotel, But the hotel atmosphere was good, old but beautiful! !! !!

We stayed here at the end of our time in Japan as a treat and for the traditional Japanese inn / onsen experience and we certainly weren’t disappointed. The room was huge and the seating area was seamlessly converted for sleeping by the hotel staff while we ate our dinner. The food was traditional Japanese with seemingly endless small plates of delicacies (a similar story at breakfast). The onsen was fabulous - we used it 3 times in the one night we were there and loved it. All in all a great experience and lovely place to stay.

Nagano is a quiet city. The only tourist spot would be Zenkoji temple and chestnuts sweets. Choices of Restaurants and shops are not what tourists usually expect. This hotel is just right next to the JR and high speed train station or you could say “in the station” as there is a bridge connecting to the 2nd floor of the hotel ( reception at 1st floor). Supermarket at the station is small and just like convenient store. But there are souvenir shops in the station. So do consider and plan for dinner. The hotel also offer good deals for body massage services. In short this is a up to standard business hotel but not quite recommended for tourists.

Great location, super convenient to train station. In addition, there is a nearby 7-11 which allows for quick purchase of essential supplies. The hotel provides washer and dryer for guest to clean their clothes which is good at affordable pricing. Only downside is the room is really small but that is the norm is Tokyo, will get used to it.
