Our short stay was absolutely delightful! The hosts were so kind and welcoming and the ryokan was beautiful inside and out. Our room was very comfortable and peaceful - the perfect place to relax after exploring Togakushi.

Despite the language barrier, we were warmly welcomed and could really benefit from the Shukubo's experience. We had an amazing volunteer guide showing us around Zenko-ji during before/during the morning ritual. We also could ask and benefit (pay) from a zazen course. The food (vegetarian) was really good even though we were not sure what exactly we ate and how it should be eaten. We were a bit scared to book at first because there was only one review but we are really happy we still did it. The bath/onsen is on a 30 min window and there is a curfew (gates closing at 9 pm). We had a heater in the room so no problem of temperature. There was also an English guide explaining Buddhism in Japan.

Hands down the best hospitality we have ever experienced. Maki is the most gracious of any host we have ever had. Excellent food (lots of it). This accommodation is worth planning an entire trip around. 2 private onsens. A massage chair. It was our first time with a traditional Japanese futon and we were surprised how comfortable sleeping was. Beautiful scenery and the most hospitable hosts (Maki, her mom the chef and Kenta the house pup) Thank you for an unforgettable stay! We can’t wait to come back again someday.

This place was an out-of-the-way stop in the hills for us and we loved looking around the area. We went up on the ski lifts for a little play in the snow and saw the snow monkeys near the hotel.

There are a total of seven of us traveling by car in the Nagano and Nagaoka areas, and this is the only hotel that can accommodate 7 people. The host is very friendly and tried to communicate with us in slow Japanese and simple English. The room is big and clean, the air-conditioning facilities and bedding are also very comfortable. But be aware that there is only shared washrooms, and because of the covid, the onsen closes before 7:30, which means it will be difficult for you to take a shower after 7:30 (2022/08/05).

This is such a special place. A 150 year old Ryokan perfectly located next to the Middle Shrine. Run by a lovely family who do everything to make you feel welcome. Dinner and breakfast were exquisite! And they catered for one of our party who does not eat seafood. Staying at this Yokokura Ryokan is one of the highlights of our trip.

- Avg. price/night: THB 4,087.249.0Scored 9.0SuperbRated superb· 946 reviewsA small but comfortable ryokan sitting on an ancient site on a beautiful pedestrian thoroughfare just fifty yards form the large Zenko-Ji Temple complex, easily accessible from the rail station by either bus or subway. Rooms compact but brilliantly designed - no shoes throughout with every necessary comfort and a really good traditional breakfast. Use the small but well-equipped onsen. Good eateries located nearby but do book.

The house is very old. The room looks beautyful, beds, (futons), Japanese chairs and table. The breakfasts and dinners were traditional Japanese. Lovely taste and made with care. There was an onsen, Japanes hot spring bath in the house. The staff was so friendly. They came up to our room to collect us for the meals.
