Ryokans in Nagano Prefecture

"Wonderfully designed hotel in the middle of beautiful Narai. Excellent food and helpful staff. The only difficulty was finding my room after dinner!"

"I love this place"

"A great base to visit the snow monkeys. A beautiful and traditional onsen. The breakfast and dinner was served by older ladies that did not necessarily speak English but definitely kept trying to make it an amazing experience each time. The variety of the served food was just overwhelming. So delicious and always something freshly cooked right at your table. An opportunity to stay at traditional Japanese tatami room is a memorable experience. Free pick up from the railway station. "

"Amazingly beautiful, high-end onsen hotel. Staff are politely formal and provide excellent service in all aspects. My room had a wonderful view of Lake Suwa & all possible amenities. Breakfast was delicious & serves with elegance."

"The rooms had a classic "Showa era" style, which gave them a great atmosphere, and were quite spacious for two people. The onsen was on the small side but clean and nice, with a pretty outdoor area. There was a lounge area with free drinks, nuts, and dried fruit. It was a decent value. I'd stay there again."

"Convenient and so comfortable, would highly recommend. Great value for money. "

"The staff make for a wonderful experience. From the moment we arrived to the moment we left staff were attentive. We enjoyed an in room with indoor onsen for two nights. The restaurant meal offerings are authentic Japanese and wonderfully presented. One of the highlights of our two week trip to Japan. We took the bus to the local castle and art museum. The facility is off the beaten path but there is a Lawson store close by. Taxi needed to go to and from the local train station. Be sure to...

"A good and suitable place to enjoy nature and the natural hot spring after an enjoyable hike in the surrounding area."

"The hospitality (service and meals) at Shiganoyu Hotel were amazing. While we did not speak Japanese and the staff did not speak English, they used a translation tool for conversation and didn't let that be a barrier. It was so comfortable for our family of 5 - very homey and welcoming. The tea and treat upon check-in was a nice surprise and delicious. The onsen was a relaxing bonus! And the food was amazing and a wonderful experience. We had 3 breakfasts and 3 dinners and they were all...

"Fantastic ryokan within Shibu Onsen - the rooftop spring are so nice that we barely felt the need to leave the town, and the food and service was amazing"

"Very well taken care of hotel, although an older property. Liked that we could use private bath on reserved time. Good breakfast and close to the train station"

"Loved our stay at Shibu Onsen Kokuya and would highly recommend. They made the trip into the mountains and to see the snow monkeys very easy - with transfers included and bag drop to the station. The traditional dinner and breakfast were a great experience. Also loved the variety of onsen’s available within the hotel itself - and private Onsen with your room if you want! "
