The location of the hotel is fairly close to the train station. Easy walk, or take a bus for a stop. 7/11 across the street is nice. Pretty close to the bars in the city. Loved that they had washer dryer in the building. Rooms were nice and clean. Free coffee and manga rentals, if you could ready japanese.

The breakfast was quite acceptable. It was included with the room charge. The breakfast room was a little small, but this kept the buffet from being too big.

The location, the maintenance, and the staff were all fantastic. The hotel provided a great place to explore the surrounding areas and the collaboration with the local onsen allowed for an excellent and memorable bathing experience. I especially enjoyed that aspect.

Tokyu Rei was located right next to the railway station which was perfect for our 2 day stay and close to izakaya and other restaurants including good ones in the station. The room (-a deluxe twin) we booked was comfortable, spacious and clean.

While Nagano is best known outside Japan as a Winter...
While Nagano is best known outside Japan as a Winter Olympics host city and a favourite place for people to ski in Winter, it is also the site of the Zenkō-ji Temple.
As one of the most important Buddhist sites in Japan it is extensive and beautifully landscaped. Despite the large number of visitors we felt calmed each of the times we walked through the grounds. You can also purchase a ticket (¥1,200) to climb the Niōmon Gate, visit the main Hondo and walk through the dark tunnel, turn the giant storehouse that contains a complete set of sutras, and see the museum in the war memorial pagoda at the rear of the complex.
Nagano itself is a nice prefectural capital surrounded by forested mountains. In the good late autumn weather it was beautiful and we enjoyed wandering the small streets finding little restaurants and stores, and looking at the interesting mix of old and very new architecture.
We didn't visit any of the popular museums and galleries as after almost 4 weeks in Japan we were "museumed out", but did stumble across the Nishinomon-Yoshinoya Sake Brewery which is well worth a visit, and had lunch at Unaginoyado Sumiyoshi - a well-regarded unagi restaurant.
There are also lots of scenic and nature locations to visit in the surrounding hills, but you need more time than we had to enjoy them.
Overall, Nagano was a bit of a surprise package and being just 1½ hours from Tokyo by Shinkansen I would recommend a visit as part of any Japan itinerary.

Handly location to use as a base for surrounding areas like Matsumoto and Obuse. Just be aware the train to Obuse is not on the JR or the IC/Suica/Pasmo and you'd need cash to buy the ticket.

Many different activities available in the area - cultural, historical, and natural. The Togakushi Shrine Pilgrimage and Kamikochi National Park were my favorites. Excellent souvenir shopping on the street in front of Zenkoji Temple. The city is very walkable. The train from Tokyo provides easy access. During hot summer months it is cooler in Nagano.
We stayed in a beautiful traditional Japanese room, with an attached private bathroom which was perfect for our needs. We opted to have both dinner and breakfast at the ryokan, and both meals were great. The location is a short bus ride from the train station, with easy access to both the main street of Nagano and Zenkoji Temple. We went for a short walk up to the temple after dinner, and it was lovely to see it lit up in the dark with no tourists around. Highly recommend booking this ryokan if you're visiting Nagano!
The owner made an effort to explain house rules well. English signs were clear, too. And he prepared travel guides. Non-Japanese should appreciate such things and be respectful. The man probably depends on this for income, and we get it for a VERY cheap price, unlike others that charge a lot so don't expect hotel-level accommodation. Travelers shouldn't behave like entitled guests.
The bed was cozy. Location was a good walking distance to Nagano station and same block as a nice grocery store. All you need is there.
Perfect ryokan in remote Japan. The experience was beyond expectations. The shrines in the area are superb! Everything was perfect and the hostess was very helpful. The food is amazing (but there's too much!)! The ryokan can be easily access by car from Nagano. It is a 35min scenic drive. I suggest nissan-rent-a-car right next to the train station. Everything went smoothly.
Everything about my stay was great - from the beautiful traditional Japanese house, delicious feast carefully prepared by the owners, warm and cozy room with a spectacular view of Nagano mountains, to the surrounding nature, snow, and calming atmosphere.
Oshi-san (the owner) is the kindest and most welcoming person you can imagine - can't recommend this stay enough!
incredibly convenient location — only a few steps from Nagano Station. The rooms were tidy, modern and quiet. The staff are incredibly helpful. I got checked in quickly and they helped me send a box back to Tokyo with a smile.
The breakfast buffet was a good deal too - the Japanese breakfast offerings were more my speed, but they also had eggs, sausage and toast.
Comfy and clean bed ’pod’ and shared bathroom facilities. Nice bar downstairs, the beers are really good though a bit pricey. The staff are super-nice and put up with my terrible Japanese 🤣 the location is perfect for Nagano station (10 mins walk max) and then it's a straight walk to the temples through the main shopping streets. I'd definitely stay again.
The location is fantastic, from Nagano train station you can use the footbridge that takes you to another side of the main road onto the 2nd level of the lift. Very nicely presented business hotel with all necessaries are provided. We are very impressed with our visited in Nagano, will definitely return.
A one-of-a-kind Ryokan with kind owners and in a great location. Lots of wonderful restaurants nearby. Bus stop for Nagano Station is near the entrance. Hangout in the lobby or sit on the sidewalk bench in front of the building to experience the culture of the Zenkoji pilgrams and Nagano's city life.
The room was good, slightly bigger than the average Japanese hotel room (in our budget). Comfortable bed, lots of amenities (also for children with slippers and duck-shaped sponges).
TV, yukata, kettle,….
Good location with the bus and train station across the road.
And very friendly, helpful staff.
The location was great. It was across the street from the train station, where you can also catch the bus to Snow Monkey Park. Reception is on the 4th floor. Shampoo and shower gel were provided in the room. There was a water dispenser on my floor. Nice view from my window.
Very very close to the train station, so it was very easy to travel around Nagano. But the hotel and our room were very quiet.
The staff is nice and can speak English.
The hotel is very clean.
There are plenty of pillows and good curtains in the room.
Hotel room was huge compared to other rooms in japan. We were put on the 14th floor with beautiful views of the city and mountains. Staff was wonderful, and the restaurant had above average wood fire pizza. About a 15 minute walk to nagano station.
Ideal layover Hotel for Nagano. Has restaurants and convenient stores around and is a short walk away from Nagano station. They also include a token for vending machines, which means free tea/water/juice.
Great location close to Nagano station and with many restaurants and convenience stores nearby. Room was a good size and comfortable. The hotel onsen was great and the massage chair was very relaxing.
The hotel is close to Nagano station, about 5 minutes walk. The room was spacious and comfortable, the staff very friendly, and the breakfast(Japanese style with some western dishes) simply amazing.
Location adjacent to Train Station very convenient. Good shopping, restaurant and sightseeing options all nearby. Breakfast in hotel very good. Excellent value. Friendly staff.
