2-Star Hotels in Nagano Prefecture, Japan

The hotel is close to Nagano Station and very convenient.

A Japanese-style hotel with extreme temperatures. Although the luggage has to be carried up and down the steep and bright wooden stairs, the old antiques in the house make life afraid of breaking up, all guests share the bathroom bathroom and hot spring ♨️. But it is so warm, the space is reasonably used upstairs and downstairs, and the 20 or so rooms are scattered. Comfortable hot spring baths, soft cloth tatami mats and the quiet environment in the store make people relax. The hotel operator is an elderly couple over 80 years old, busy upstairs and downstairs every day, ushered in, the 81-year-old gentleman not only has a hard body but also a super memory, every time the guest goes out, he picks out the guest's shoes and puts them in front of the guest, never making mistakes. Grandma is also radiant and kind, and she will not forget every word the guests have said to her, carefully and meticulously. The two elders stood outside the door in slippers and bowed and waved goodbye to us until the bus traveled. Maybe it is because of the fact that this century-old store has been passed down. I hope everyone can feel their precious warmth and cherish it when they stay.

Being so close to the station was very helpful for someone like me who is directionally challenged. The front desk staff were very friendly and even chatted with me over coffee, allowing me to end my trip feeling refreshed and ready to go home. Thank you very much.

I had a problem with the recording and a gentleman came to solve it super quickly ! The rooms are very comfortable and comfortable, the familymart is 5 minutes walk from the hotel.

Because of the work relationship, I have to stay in Japan for a long time, so I decided to set this hotel. Overall, the location is good, convenient, the sanitary environment is also very good, cleaned every day, breakfast is also very rich. Very satisfied with this hotel.

Kind staff especially the lady who made sincere efforts to get my computer cords send to me that I left at hotel in Yamagata. She was the best. Everyone was kind too.

It was clean and very nice. We stayed here for two at short notice. The breakfast was sufficient and we were able to relax. The women's large bath did not seem to be a hot spring, but I think it was adequate. I also think it's good from a security standpoint that you need to enter with a passcode. I would definitely use it again.

This is an extremely cosy place, but I would not dare describe it as luxurious. It is dated and simple, with the most basic amenities. However, I liked it a lot. The best part about this ryokan is its owner, an elderly man. He truly puts his heart and soul into his establishment. He even suggested to give us a ride to the station, however the weather was nice and we decided to walk instead. I'd like to highlight the breakfast: it was gorgeous, given the price. I'd even say it tasted better than a ¥3000 dinner I had at some local restaurant. The whole experience felt like visiting your grandparents, who live in a village, during the summer.

Since it was cheaper than other ryokans in the area, I didn’t expect much. But to my surprise, it offered full service—just like the more expensive ryokans I’ve stayed at before! They even provided a pickup service from the train station, which I forgot to book. Luckily, a Western couple sitting next to me on the train had reserved it. When I saw the “Hotel Housei” sign on the van outside the station, I hopped in! The hotel is a bit far from the station and involves walking up and down hills, so carrying luggage all the way would have been quite tough. I was really fortunate to catch that ride! Cherry blossoms were in full bloom along the river, just a few steps from the hotel—such a beautiful sight. The room wasn’t large, but it had enough space and was very comfortable. The elderly gentleman at the front desk seemed to speak multiple languages—he even knew some Thai! He was incredibly friendly and welcoming. The onsen was wonderful. The indoor bath was a bit too hot for me, but the outdoor bath was cooler and more relaxing. Breakfast was a buffet, which was decent. In conclusion, this place was absolutely worth it. Next time, if I go skiing in Shiga Kogen or bring someone to see the snow monkeys, I’ll definitely remember to book the pick-up and drop-off service in advance!
