Hotel Dengan Parking di Nagano Prefecture, Japan

The hotel is nestled in the mountains, and the morning views from our rooms were absolutely breathtaking. On a few mornings with light drizzle, a mist swirled around the mountains, making it feel like we were living among the clouds. There was just one minor issue: the hotel initially wanted to charge 300 yen per person per day simply because it offers a public bath. As I’m not comfortable using such facilities, I didn’t visit the bath at all. However, at checkout, I was surprised to see an additional charge of over 1,000 yen for my family on the invoice. Although the amount was small, it didn’t seem fair to be charged for a facility we didn’t use. After I raised this concern, the front desk manager stepped in and kindly waived the fee. Aside from this slight issue, my stay was wonderful and thoroughly enjoyable.

Compared to Prince West, The Prince is much quieter and cozier. The room comes with a kitchen and the bathroom is spacious. Our room was on the first floor which opens directly to the outside, so when it snowed my daughter ran happily outside to make a snowman. There was a lounge serving drinks and wines, which all guests could enjoy, what I appreciated the most is the library setting with books to read. Service was phenomenal, the reception and all staff members were helpful.

The hotel is located a bit away from the city center, but that distance gives it a uniquely quiet, serene atmosphere with a real zen vibe. Our room had an epic view overlooking a mountain covered in red leaves, along with a golf course stretching out below. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful, even though their English was only average — their warmth more than made up for it. The onsen facilities are quite far from the new building, but still very pleasant and worth the walk. Overall, a peaceful and memorable stay.

This hotel is right next to Nagano Station, making check-in super convenient. The rooms are simple, clean, and tidy. If you exit the station and turn left, it's just a two-minute walk. Don Quijote is directly across the street, perfect for some enjoyable late-night shopping. Even snow isn't an issue here. The hotel price is also quite reasonable and good value for money. Satisfied.

The hotel's location is excellent. It's only a few hundred meters from Karuizawa Station. It's also very convenient to walk to Kumoba Pond, with towering cedar trees lining the path. You'll see various large, independent villas along the way – definitely an affluent neighborhood.

I just love this stay. Most recommended . The hotel structure is so classy . So luxurious and so clean. So happy and so satisfied.

An old-money style hotel. It's about a ten to fifteen-minute walk from JR station, just past the outlet mall parking lot. The hotel offers a free shuttle mini-bus to the station, running roughly every half hour during the day. We happened to visit during autumn leaf season, and the 'Maple Leaf Onsen' (hot spring) certainly lived up to its name – it was beautiful. We didn't have dinner at the hotel because it required advance booking. There were plenty of dining options at the outlet mall and near the station. The hotel also has a FamilyMart convenience store, and from what I saw, it was well-stocked and very convenient.

Hotel staff service was top tier. Check-in counter staff allowed me to use their telephone for local call when I needed it urgently and even asked if I would be okay with Japanese and offered to help me call. Felt really relieved that help was provided without me asking and it was really touching. Check in counter staff were also sincere with their service and had wide smiles on their faces. The room was quite old but clean, quite contrasting to the modern lobby they had. Breakfast was amazing, so much choices (from smoothies to a katsu station) and delicious. Would recommend if you have the time in the morning.

Right across Lake Suwa and walking distance to Kamisuwa station. Hotel compound was big. Loved the zen garden. Staff were extremely kind and helpful. Enjoyed the free outdoors foot bath, and the indoor onsen was huge. Wonderful stay overall. Do note that single rooms do not have lake views.

Booked a room here for 1 day just to explore matsumoto. this hotel was a pretty good distance to walk to the tourist attraction such as the matsumoto castle and nawate shopping street. loved that they offered free icecream or ramen between 8:00-10:00 pm. If you ever check out and you still have time before your bus leaves, you can also ask front desk to keep your luggage so you can be luggage free exploring. they were super kind and understanding with all the requests we had.
