Hot Springs Hotels in Nagano Prefecture, Japan

Great cottage experience in Karuizawa, lovely ambiance and very peaceful to walk around the grounds during the day. We were lucky enough to also see some cherry blossoms still in bloom despite going in mid-April! Service is also great with transport services to the cottages. Only troublesome thing is that you'll need to plan your time well to take the internal shuttle bus back from the shopping plaza/hotel lobby as it comes every 10-20 min!

When I arrived at Yudanaka Station, I tried to call on my cell phone, but the phone didn't work, so I was able to request a shuttle service with the help of the station staff. It didn't take long for the staff to come and we were able to move quickly and comfortably. From the time I arrived, they came out to the door and greeted me kindly, and they kindly explained the nearby hot spring tour and the use of the ryokan facilities. We were a family of four (2 adults, 2 children), but the accommodation was not small. Dinner on the day of check-in and breakfast the next day were provided, and the meals were delicious, and the staff who served the food were also very kind. When I returned to the room after dinner, a cozy blanket was set up, so I could rest comfortably. When I checked out the next day, I was able to go to the monkey park through the shuttle service. Overall, all the staff were very kind, so I felt good. The facilities were clean, and there were many things to see around, so I definitely want to go again next time. I highly recommend it to others.

It satisfied all my fantasies about Japanese hot spring hotels. Facilities: We booked an ordinary Japanese-style room with a bathroom, but there was actually a window, but the view was different. The room was considered large in Japan, but the door was a bit small, so there was no place to spread out the suitcase. Environment: When I went there, the male and female hot spring baths had been changed, so I only experienced one. There was a large bath, a small bath, and an open-air bath, but the most comfortable one was the indoor bath, with the most suitable water temperature. There is no private bath that can be reserved, but it is better to go later. If you are lucky, you can get a private bath experience. Service: Very good. The hotel has a car to connect Yudanaka Station to the hotel, but it will be after 2 pm. There is also a route to the Snow Monkey Park, but there is no route back from the park. The hotel is very good. When we just arrived at the hotel, we found that our bag was left at the station. The staff pulled me back to the station to get the bag. I was the only one in the car, and it was a complete chartered car experience. Breakfast and dinner were very rich, and it can be seen that they were made with care, but I don’t like to eat raw food, so I just experienced it and didn’t taste anything different. There was also beef on the day I ate there, and there were many dishes, so it doesn't matter if you don't eat any of them. If you have enough budget, I still recommend trying it! ! ! You can feel the traditional Japanese dining

We really enjoyed our stay at this hotel. The room was quite spacious and clean. Every day cleaning, replacement of towels and bathrobes, frequent change of bed linen. Razors, toothbrushes, shampoos, soap, shower caps, clean bathrobes are always freely available near the reception. The view from our window was of the mountains. The hotel has a spacious, comfortable ski room. Each room has a locker for storing ski equipment. Ventilation is good. There is no drying. Our stay included breakfast and dinner, which we really enjoyed. Buffet. The choice of dishes is large, especially for dinner. For breakfast you can choose two types of omelet, sausages, sausage, fish, various vegetables, fruits, juice, milk, cereal, salads, soups, croissants, etc. For dinner, there is generally a great selection of dishes: raw fish, fried fish, stewed fish, squid, shrimp, scallop, pork with vegetables, beef stew, chicken, soups, salads (huge selection), vegetables (huge selection), national dumplings, and of course rice and spaghetti, fruit, ice cream, cakes and I don’t remember what else)). The hotel spa has two onsens: the first is indoors, the second is indoors with an open window (there is access to fresh air, which is very nice) and a view of the mountain. There is also a sauna. There are separate zones for men and women. Entrance to the pool is extra (600 yen per adult), but it seems the pool was not open. There are massage chairs in the spa area, only 100 yen for a 10-minute session. Shampoos, hair conditioners, shower gels and body lotions are provided at the onsen. The hotel has a store where you can buy souvenirs, sweets, alcohol, as well as accessories such as glasses, masks, gloves and other things. On the ground floor there is ski equipment rental. The staff is very polite and helpful. The hotel is located right next to the ski slopes and lifts of the Norikura resort. There were few people on the Norikura slopes, so the slopes were in excellent condition until the evening. Several ski lifts depart directly from the hotel, from which you can go down a couple of red slopes and three green ones. Comfortable for beginners: wide, gentle, uncrowded slopes. Norikura connects to the Cortina area, which is also fun to ride. The total length of the trails is about 20 km. There is a shuttle stop next to the hotel, which takes you to any resort in Hakuba. There are no shops nearby. The hotel is not new, the furniture is somewhat tired, but this did not worsen our stay at all; the advantages of the hotel outweigh this 100 percent. I highly recommend this hotel.

During the skiing trip in Hakuba, although I didn't drive myself and the transportation was a little inconvenient (the shuttle bus with fewer flights sometimes couldn't fully meet the needs), the hotel's front desk service made me feel extremely warm and thoughtful. Here, I would like to express my sincere gratitude to several front desk staff for their enthusiastic assistance and professional service. This was my first time to go skiing in Hakuba. I was unfamiliar with the local environment and did not have a car. In addition, I had to send my luggage back to the airport, so I encountered many challenges during the process. First of all, I would like to express my special thanks to an older male waiter who was kind and polite. He helped me with the delivery service. The process was very careful and made me feel at ease. Secondly, thanks to a short, slightly fat but smiling male waiter. After learning that I had been waiting in the lobby for two hours because the shuttle bus did not arrive on time, he tried his best to help me call a taxi to the ski resort. Although he was unsuccessful in the end, he understood my persistence and was always willing to help. When I got back to the hotel, as time was tight, he took the initiative to ask his supervisor and quickly helped arrange a hotel car to take me to the station so that I could catch the bus and JR train to Tokyo. At the same time, he also helped me pick up my stored luggage and assisted in moving it. He was more anxious than I was throughout the whole process, which deeply touched me. I am deeply sorry that I was unable to express my gratitude or give a tip in person as I was in a hurry at the time. Also, I would like to commend a young waitress. Although she was inexperienced, she was still careful and responsible, and tried her best to solve my problem, which made me feel her dedication and professionalism. During this trip, the sincerity and enthusiasm of these service staff provided me with great help. Even when faced with emergencies, they always put themselves in the guests' shoes and demonstrated an excellent service attitude. Next time I visit Hakuba, I will definitely choose to stay at this hotel again because their service makes me feel at home. Thanks again! In addition, the staff who clean the rooms are also very professional, polite and responsible. As for the hotel facilities, cleanliness, decoration and the quality and style of the restaurant food, they are all great.

This hotel has unbeatable snow scenery and great service. Although Hakuba is inconvenient for transportation, the hotel has free shuttle buses to various distribution points in Hakuba. You still need to take the bus to the two nearby ski resorts, but we were lucky that day and met a free car with the word Sera printed on it to take us to Tsugaike. I don't understand what the mechanism is. The hotel has free popcorn, wine, sake, apple juice, red bean soup, milk, coffee, oden, curry rice, ice cream, etc., which can basically meet all the needs of a short stay. The best thing is the floor-to-ceiling windows in the lobby, which are very photogenic and very friendly for families with children who love to play in the snow. They can watch over their children indoors with the heater on. The comments all said that the dinner was average, so I booked the hotel's car to go to Roujiang, a super delicious barbecue restaurant, highly recommended, but reservations must be made in advance.

Decided to stay here as part of my Nakasendo hike. Nice, clean hotel. The dinner was amazing, and breakfast buffet is free for all guests. No private showers, but that's okay in Japan. It's quite a walk from the station however, about 10-15mins.

The hotel was only 10min walking distance from the bus station. The breakfast and dinner were very well prepared in the fine dining settings. The dormitory was very well kept, with basic accommodation facilities. Common toilets and bathrooms were only a few min away, but there were two basins within each of the dormitories. Good accessibility especially to food and hiking attractions nearby.
