Hotel berhampiran Shimanryo Street, Nagono

Excellent location, near several means of transportation and train station. Self check-in and check-out. Very good breakfast.

駐車場が広いので、よく出張で泊まります。 コロナ禍のときは、閑散として寂しい時もありましたが、今回は駐車場も混雑してて 久々に活気がありました。 夕方5時半にチェックインをしたところ、部屋の準備がまだなので、喫茶コーナーでお待ちください。とのこと・・・ 思わず、なんでこの時間で部屋に入れないんだ！と少し怒りましたが・・ 仕方がないので、喫茶コーナーで待ちました。 ほかにも、７～８組待っているお客さんがいました。 ホテルの係員が部屋の準備ができ次第　案内してましたが 平身低頭、お客さんを案内して、少しでも早くと一生懸命動き回ってました。 支配人もお客さんそれぞれに謝っていて、ホテルの係員みんなで何とか早くご案内を！って気持ちを感じました。 考えてみれば、これだけ大箱のホテルが旅行支援でいきなり満室になったら、 人手が足りる訳がありません。 都心じゃなく、地方なんだから。 そんな中、一生懸命　走り回って頑張ってる係員を見ていると クレームどころか、また泊まりたいな。と思いました。

The hotel located in the area of government buildings. It is therefore very good for business people. They have five restaurants. But because we did not arrange for hotel breakfast, it was a bit difficult to get breakfast around the hotel. But there is a convenient store nearby. The room was clean. Reception gave us a high floor room with beautiful city view. Appreciate that. The hotel has three big car parks. Hotel guest needed to pay parking fee of 1000 yen for throughout the stay, which I think is reasonable. The hotel is actually well located - close enough to the sightseeing spots in the city centre.

大浴場はあまり大きくありませんが、とても綺麗で良かったです。部屋もまだ新しくとても清潔感があり利用して良かったと思います。またチェックインが遅くなっても非常に良い対応で気持ち良かったですです。 朝ごはんも種類が多く、全種類食べきれない程のボリュームでした。また機会があれば利用したいと思えました。

Hotel is in midst of renovation and many parts yet to be completed. Once fully done, it will be fantastic . My room looks a bit old , but the size was big to move around in. Facilities were excellent and there is free all you can eat ice cream at lobby . There is also a big onsen , but the water is a bit too hot to sit for long in ! Nevertheless it was nice. Location is about 7 mins walk from train station . Would come back here again if ever in the region.

If you come to Nagano and want to try a ryokan then this place is well worth staying. It is located along a line of shops leading up to the Zenkoji Temple, you have to walk past the large angry wooden statues on your way there. We had Room 28 which had its own on-suite shower and toilet. There are stairs to get to this upper level and the room is found after a squeaky journey on wooden floorboards. The Ryokan is not cheap but a stay is worth the experience if you can afford it. The family that runs this Ryokan are wonderful people. They are always smiling and greeting you and seem genuinely interested in you. They do not speak a lot of English but I should have made more of an effort to learn some simple Japanese phrases. One thing I can recommend is to have at least one dinner meal from this Ryokan as it is exceptional. The lovely people bring out all the courses one after another and you are full at the end. You can order sake which was the clincher for me. We walked North from the Nagano Train Station and takes about ~25 minutes. There are buses and taxis but the walk was not too difficult. If you try walking there during the night time, it can be very dark after you walk past the wooden angry statues (the Ryokan has a lantern and is on the left side as you approach the temple). The Zenkoji Temple just along from the ryokan can be visited multiple times during your stay.

Great location, super convenient to train station. In addition, there is a nearby 7-11 which allows for quick purchase of essential supplies. The hotel provides washer and dryer for guest to clean their clothes which is good at affordable pricing. Only downside is the room is really small but that is the norm is Tokyo, will get used to it.

善光寺観光に来県。 ホテルの設備は古いが、値段相応と割り切れれば問題ない。立地も駅前から善光寺の中間ほどの位置でまあ悪くない。 室内も安ホテル独特の匂いもなく良い。スタッフのサービスも、過度な干渉もなければ放置もなく程よい距離感。 広さはセミダブルで写真の程度。 ただ、宿泊客が多くない割には隣室に宿泊客がいたりエレベーター前の部屋を割り当てられたりと、なんとなく不満に思う部分はあった。 朝は食事サービスがあった。稲荷寿司、チーズパン・ロールパン、ベーコンスープ、があった。安価なホテルなりに頑張っていると感じた。 ご当地「牛乳パン」 明治亭の「ソースカツ」(明治亭の山賊焼もおすすめ) 藤木庵の「蕎麦」 を、善光寺観光のお供にされると良いかと思います。 安いプランだから仕方ないのだろうか？
