The place is very clean and equips with everything you need for a night stay. They even have free drinks in the fridge including beers for guest. Room size is good as well. Quiet neighbourhood near the temple. I would stay there again if I return to Nagano.

The location is great, the breakfast was varied and good (and on the top floor with beautiful views), they had a lounge area on the top floor of the hotel as well, where you could hangout. The rooms were clean, beds were comfortable, and there was a park right across the street where our 7 year old could run around a bit. We took the Shinkansen in and easily walked to the hotel with luggage despite it snowing.

The colours of the trees this time of year were stunning. It was a bot colder which we liked and Nagano has good access to various attractions and walks. Our day to the Snow Monkey Park was beautiful and surreal. Would have loved to spend more time there.

I loved walking to Zenkoji Temple and had a delicious chestnuts soft serve icecream on my way out of the temple. We had one of the best ramen I’ve ever tasted opposite the East exit of the train stations. Our stop in Nagano was to reach Hakuba for a few days skiing and I was really pleasantly surprised by how nice my experience in Nagano was. Catching the bus to Hakuba was easy and the buses left regularly and were not busy

I went to Nagano to do historical research at three separate facilities about an hours drive from central Nagano City. -- My main objective was visiting the Underground Imperial Headquarters 松代大本営地下壕 (松代象山地下壕) at Matsushiro. The tunnel system is impressive, and the museum next to it adds a lot of background. -- I visited the Hijiri Aviation Museum 聖博物館 in Omi, which displays items and posters full of info about its past as a stop for those on the way to Zenkoji Temple in Nagano City, as well as having a few combat aircraft and a main gun from the Japanese Battleship Mutsu. In an out-of-the-way place. -- I also went to the Mugonkan 戦没画学生慰霊美術館 無言館 in Ueda City. A very somber place since it introduces Japanese artists (showing a couple of their paintings) who died during the war years. Also in a rather remote location. It's unfortunate that all three have signs and displays that are almost exclusively in Japanese. Non-Japanese speakers who are interested in World War II history and happen to be near Nagano may still get something out of a self-tour of the tunnel system in Matsushiro, which is interesting to see in person (and cool in summer). The Wikipedia entry for it seems accurate, much more than you can find on site in English. Be aware that cameras are allowed at Hijiri, but cannot be used in the Mugonkan and in the Matsushiro museum (the tunnels are okay). I don't recommend taking kids to any of these sites.

Absolutely loved Nagano, so friendly and clean and easy to get around. We lucked out and arrived when the the dance festival was on which was really fun. There are lovely restaurants, good shopping and it’s easy to get around. The old part of the town and the temple are beautiful. We took the bus to see the snow monkeys as well which was worth every penny, even though it was 30 degrees they were still in the onsen, it was magical!

we loved staying in central Nagano.

we loved staying in central Nagano. We were only a few minutes walk to the station and our final destination. the staff were very friendly and welcoming even at 9.30 pm. The bed and our room were very comfortable. All that we needed.

We had a chance to stay in Nagano for few days so we chose this hotel as it situate very close to train station. The location is perfect - from station to hotel, there is an overhead walkway with an elevator for accessibility. there is also convenient store nearby so you can grab something. The room is nice although we were very surprise to have smoking floor's room but turns out we didn't feel much of disturbance from cigarette smell. The place is great for value especially if you are here for few days.

The breakfast in the morning was the highlight! They provide takeaway or dine in options for breakfast and the spread is a mix of western and japanese food. Really enjoyed the meal especially the soba! Staff were friendly and used translator devices to converse with us. Room was spacious and hotel located near nagano station, not much food options nearby but there’s a convenience store & takeaway place (hotto motto).

This is a clean and comfortable place to stay right near Nagano city train station . The eating options in the area are good and it is a pleasant walk to the Zenkoji temple from the hotel . I only stayed for one night but after over two weeks of straying in traditional Japanese guesthouses staying one night in a western style hotel with a Japanese breakfast included was highly satisfactory .
