Ryokaner i Nagano

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. We had both dinner and breakfast and would highly recommend - some of the most delicious and memorable food of our trip!

The ryokan was exactly what I wanted. People were really nice and helpfull. The place was spotless and I personnaly really enjoyed the onsen (public bath). Finally we had the dinner onsite and it was very delicious. 👍👍

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.

Simply the best accomodation I have experienced anywhere! Our stay with Maki, her Mother and Kenta dog was relaxing and magical after a week in Tokyo and Maki does absolutley everything to make you feel welcome and at home with her gentle, warm hospitality, The Ryokan itself is an elegant traditional building and is beautifully kept. The amazing Kaiseki dinner and breakfasts that Makis mother presents every night are a wonderful way to experience traditional japanese food after a relaxing onsen bath. Maki was simply the best host, she even drove us up to the start of our walk trail and booked our lunchtime soba restaurant. The local area is breathtaking even in late autumn / early winter and a walk around the shrines is enough to fill a very pleasant day, Wel ove you Maki and we will be back!

Amazing creaky wooden structure with many staircases & sunny light filled nooks. Feels like Hogwarts! loved the carafe of hot water to make tea with. Ladies’ bath is a joy, steamy, piping hot water cascading down a rock waterfall into pristine pool. and a window that you can open onto a tranquil outdoor garden. exquisite!

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. The onsen was lovely, the staff were friendly and helpful and the room was clean and big. Good all around!

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.
