Romantic Hotels in Nagano Prefecture, Japan

I booked two rooms for two nights, but due to a system glitch, one of the rooms wasn't successfully booked. Trip.com customer service then recommended another hotel. However, the next day when we arrived at the new hotel, we still couldn't check in. All payments for both rooms had been made by 10:30 AM, so they should have been reserved for us. Yet, the hotel again cited a system error and said our rooms hadn't been held. They then told us to return to the first hotel, and it was already around 11 PM at that point. I was utterly frustrated by the whole situation. Despite all this, Trip.com's customer service was very responsive and helpful, thumbs up to them.

The hotel is a bit of a walk from the JR station, about 10-15 minutes. The entrance is tiny, and check-in is just a small table. The room itself is very small, but the space is utilized efficiently, making it practical and convenient. Breakfast is a set menu with four options, and it's quite good. They also have happy hour in the evenings where you can enjoy some drinks, snacks, and cold beverages.

Stepping inside, we were greeted by the iconic stove, and a thoughtful warm drink, which was a lovely touch. The service was very welcoming. The room, for Japan, was quite spacious and even had a balcony, though it was bare in winter. Both breakfast and dinner were extensive. Dinner, which we pre-booked, was a standout with its distinctive and delicious Western cuisine.

Had a really pleasant stay overall. The place was very clean and well-maintained, and the location was convenient for getting around. Service was excellent 👍 staff were friendly and helpful throughout our stay. Amenities were also complete and comfortable. Would definitely recommend for couples looking for a smooth and enjoyable stay.

Worthy, nice food and service. I love every details they put, walking on tatami and great decoration. And I can say this chain is one of the best hotel in japan. - Even room is small but lower bed makes it more spacious. And with no view room you still got sunlight dont worry. - Location is good, walkable from the station. - Breakfast is amazing! Freshly fried Tempura is authentic, also Gyudon and others also great. I love apple juice too. - Dont forget night soba and treats after onsen. - Onsen is good too but only indoor. - The rest area beside onsen is fantastic, in the morning with the view of Japanese alps they even have name of each mountain so cute. - Tips for restaurants nearby, there are izakaya food court like gathering all izakaya in one place and yiu can choose what you like

A very cozy hotel with friendly service, clean and comfortable. The breakfast at the 86 Onkan downstairs is delicious. However, it's a bit far from the JR station. On the afternoon of my return trip, I asked the front desk to help me call a taxi, but was told there were no taxi drivers nearby at the moment, and bus services were also infrequent. Overall, it's suitable for those who want to explore Matsumoto at a leisurely pace. Also, the facilities in the old building are a bit dated and the soundproofing is a little poor.
