Romantic Hotels in Nagano Prefecture, Japan

I had a wonderful stay at Amagawaso in Shibu Onsen. The ryokan is run by an elderly couple who don’t speak English, but they were incredibly sweet and welcoming. With the help of Google Translate, communication was easy enough and actually added to the charm of the experience. They provided yukata and geta for exploring the town, as well as the key that gives access to the nine public onsens in Shibu — an amazing and unique experience. On top of that, the ryokan offers a free 40-minute private onsen session, which was a lovely touch. Our room was very spacious, and shortly after we arrived, the hostess came in to prepare complimentary matcha tea for us. She also gifted us steamed buns filled with red bean paste, which felt incredibly thoughtful. The location is also very convenient for visiting the Snow Monkey Park, making it an excellent base for exploring the area. Overall, the hospitality was genuine, the onsen experience was fantastic, and the atmosphere felt authentically traditional. Highly recommend staying here if you’re visiting Shibu Onsen or planning a trip to see the snow monkeys.

In the hotel group near Tangtianzhong Station, it is about 2-300 meters from the station. Jiamei is also a Japanese-style hotel. The mushroom head brother will introduce various situations in detail so that I feel that I heard him introduce it for about 20-30 minutes from check-in to get the key to enter the room. The garden view + bathroom room we stayed in was actually a public garden view. If someone in other rooms was by the sliding door, they would see it. The bathroom thought it was an open-air bath, but in fact, there was a toilet with a bathroom in the room, and the bathroom was extremely cold in winter, there was only a small heating stove, which was not very useful. The air conditioning in the room is not very powerful, there is a large heater, close to it is very warm, the room is generally warm. When you check in, the hotel will keep hot water in the room and Japanese snacks for passengers to use. Because there are few rooms, it is extremely quiet at night, there will be no upstairs and closing doors. The hotel offers two public hot springs (including open-air hot spring pools), dinner and two other hot springs are 5 minutes walk to the Wanchai. The overall experience is good, but everything dinner and breakfast in the hotel are Japanese style, personally do not like.

This time I stayed in the newly renovated new wing of the hotel. The room was very comfortable, beautiful and hygienic. The view outside the room was very beautiful. The staff were also very enthusiastic. In addition, free drinks and noodles were provided after taking a bath. I will definitely choose it again next time. here

As a base for climbing Kiso komagatake, I was taken care of in 2 nights and 3 days. It was very close to the bus stop for the ropeway platform and had excellent access. The staff were warm and polite, and I was able to relax from the bottom of my heart. The quality of the hot springs is also excellent, and I am very satisfied that I can heal the tiredness of climbing.
