Hot Springs hotels in Nagano Prefecture, Japan

Het hotel ligt ver weg van het JR Shinano Omachi Station, maar als u uw reis naar Tateyama Kurobe beëindigt en vervolgens de lokale bus neemt vanaf het Ogizawa Station, hoeft u slechts één halte (Hina***ama Plateau) over te steken. Er zijn verschillende faciliteiten in het hotel waar de gasten gebruik van kunnen maken, en de servicegerichtheid is zeer goed, wat alle lof verdient! Alleen is er in de omgeving een gebrek aan restaurants en zijn er niet veel eetgelegenheden. Daarnaast biedt het hotel op zaterdag, zondag en feestdagen een gratis pendelbus rechtstreeks naar het JR Shinano Omachi Station. Online reserveren is verplicht. Over het algemeen is al het andere, behalve transport en catering, zeer bevredigend👍!

Location: Near to Karuizawa train station (approximately 15 min walk to hotel west) and 10min walk to shopping mall. 5 min shuttle bus to reach ski area. Room: Clean and comfortable. But the bath powder is like toilet detergent scent. Amenities: there is Family mart operates until 11pm in hotel west. Service: Front desk lady can’t really speak English and hard to communicate. The man at cloakroom is unfriendly. Shuttle bus service: Shuttle bus service provided within the shopping area, hotel east and west. However, the instruction is unclear to us. When we queued up for the bus to station, the hotel staff did not inform us the bus was here and to align the bus but just change the next bus arrival timing. Until entire lane of the guests missed the bus. We had to walk all the way to station with our huge luggage. Snow Park: No clear direction or sign board to go snow park from hotel east. The snow park area is kinda small and suitable for young kid (below 7 years old). It is boring for kid above 7 years old.

The price is not that expensive, so we didn’t expect that much. However, everything was really great. Large and clean public onsen. The breakfast was really really brilliant - variety of food and the taste is very yummy. Only the con is a bit far from the city but it’s not our concern. Really impressed. The hotel also provides the drinking station everywhere. Free drinks and snack at the lounge too.

The hotel is nestled in the mountains, and the morning views from our rooms were absolutely breathtaking. On a few mornings with light drizzle, a mist swirled around the mountains, making it feel like we were living among the clouds. There was just one minor issue: the hotel initially wanted to charge 300 yen per person per day simply because it offers a public bath. As I’m not comfortable using such facilities, I didn’t visit the bath at all. However, at checkout, I was surprised to see an additional charge of over 1,000 yen for my family on the invoice. Although the amount was small, it didn’t seem fair to be charged for a facility we didn’t use. After I raised this concern, the front desk manager stepped in and kindly waived the fee. Aside from this slight issue, my stay was wonderful and thoroughly enjoyable.

It was the first night of my entire trip—and also the most expensive one. But it was absolutely worth it! Lake Suwa was right in front of the hotel. If you take the train, it might be a bit of a walk, but since I drove, the location was perfect. The hotel was incredibly spacious, and the onsen was lovely. Dinner (a full course meal) was exceptional, and breakfast was just as impressive—absolutely delicious! One thing I still wonder about: what were those insects outside the window at night? They clung to the glass, and I was afraid they might get inside. Thankfully, the window seals were excellent, so none of them made it indoors. Only the outdoor bath had a few, which was understandable. I truly hope I can go back again—with my mom next time!

Wanted a traditional ryokan experience and this ryokan ticked all the boxes! Service was so personable, and the food was so so delicious. Rooms were of decent size as well. Can’t recommend this enough. FYI that there is a pickup service from Yudanaka station to the ryokan. They can send you to the monkey park / Yudanaka station in the morning. If you’re going to the snow monkey park, the ryokan can send your luggage to Yudanaka train station (free) so that you can pick it up when you’re heading from the snow monkey park back to Yudanaka.

De kamer was schoon en ruime. Hoewel de meubilair een beetje oud voelde, was het nog steeds zeer comfortabel en had alles wat ik nodig had voor een aangename verblijf. Het hotel is comfortabel gelegen naast het station Nagano, wat maakte het om zeer gemakkelijk om te komen. Als ik Nagano nog eens bezoek, zou ik hier zeker blijven.

The hotel is brand new. The room is lovely and so spacious! The bed was huge and it was comfortable, we all slept well every night. Staff were courteous and attentive. We really enjoyed our stay here. The hotel location is also perfect, right on old karuizawa ginza street with many food and shopping options nearby during the day. The breakfast options were very limited and the food was the same every day, so I found it a challenge to feed my toddler. Basic food items like cereal and slice bread were not available. The fruit options were also limited and not the most child friendly e.g. pineapple, grapefruit and grapes. Also, the rooms are not made every day but you can request for the staff to clean and make the room. Overall we still had a great stay and hope to visit again soon.

Het personeel is vriendelijk en de warmwaterbronnen zijn uitstekend. De nabijheid van station Kamisuwa is ook een pluspunt. Er wordt vaak vis geserveerd bij het ontbijt. Ik hoop dat jullie allemaal een fijne ervaring zullen hebben.
