Hotels near Togakushi Ski Area, Nagano City

The view from the window was very beautiful

1) Location: Get off at Zhongshe and walk about 3-400 meters. You can reach it in a straight line. 2) Hotel: Decorated in the 1980s-1990s, there is no heating in the corridor, but there is heating in the room, and the temperature is suitable. There is no bathing in the hotel. The hot spring is in a large covered tub. There is no heating in the shower room and toilet. 3) Meals: You can order them at the hotel. The boss’s skills are pretty good and delicious, but not very cheap. [Five-star recommendation] Try to avoid bringing a trolley suitcase in winter. The road is too difficult to walk. It is uphill to get to the hotel. I arrived at night and fell a few times. It was too painful.

I was very lucky to book the last room on Saturday. Although the evaluation on the trip was not high, the evaluation on Google map was excellent and it was better than expected. I had the opportunity to come to Huyin and stay again. Thank you for everyone received by the hotel. It made me have a very pleasant journey.

空調製暖不夠給力，有點冷。設施陳舊，維護的不算太好。風景還不錯。早餐做的洋式料理，地道，但不太合我的口味，慶幸沒訂晚餐。服務很好，專業。

This hotel, 'Ikoi no Mura,' offers basic services, but I was drawn to its large public bath and half-board plan (dinner and breakfast included). While it mainly caters to families with small children, adults can also have plenty of fun with 30 minutes of free karaoke and free table tennis. It's highly recommended, especially for those looking to save on accommodation costs or families wanting a relaxed stay!

This one was actually very entangled when I first booked it. It should be just on the Trip.com platform, and I can't see the score of the review. So I also went to Google and ******* to find the score. I just found out that this restaurant is actually a Michelin recommendation. Imagine that there is a French Michelin in the very deep mountain in Huyin. I believe that their hotel service will not be worse. Sure enough, the day of the chartered car arrived, it was a surprise. Let me talk about the environment and facilities first: because we are two big and two small, there are not many hotel rooms, and the only single-family Japanese local wooden country cabin suite, the whole building was given to us. As soon as you enter the door, the large kitchen is equipped with a series of tableware, and even an oven, which is very suitable for a group of people to have a dinner (if you can drive by yourself). Entering the meeting and bedroom area is a surprise, the whole meeting and bedroom area are connected together, is a traditional Japanese country wooden house tatami, the floor is all heated by floor heating, plus a large electrical supply fireplace in the corner of the meeting area, beautiful and warm. The bedroom area is a little higher tatami mat, which can be separated by traditional Japanese snow door, and becomes a separate sleeping environment at night. What I like most is that the whole room faces a whole floor-to-ceiling window, and there is no hidden forest outside the window, covered with thick snow. We liked the view so much that we got up early in the morning, roasted on fire, sat on the warm floor, drank freshly brewed fried tea, looked out the window, it was too healing. The children even saw several squirrels leaping through the woods. The second favorite is the hotel's bathroom, all using the structure of pine wood, and the pine bathtub, the whole area is floating a natural fragrance of wood, a small window facing the outdoor, just snow, this feeling is too enjoyable. Again, talk about the key service, we because we booked one berth and two meals, so dinner naturally dine in the hotel restaurant, the whole serving is very professional, although the Japanese waiter's English is not so fluent, but they have been trying to let us know each dish. In addition, we did not have a chartered car the next day and needed to arrive at the lake after the visit of Huyin. The hotel waiter took the initiative to help us book public transportation when he learned of this situation. Here we need to remind everyone that the bus from the Huyin area to Nagano needs to be reserved in advance. Here we must praise the hotel waiter yuki, because our mobile phone signal system problem has caused problems on the official website of the bus. She took the trouble to assist us in inquiries. Finally, I personally used Japanese to help us make an appointment with the bus company, so that we did not delay our next day's trip. Finally, it must be said that the meal of awai, which belongs to the innovative Japanese-style French meal, is all local ingredients, especially they use a very cumbersome way to extract essential oil from a local plant to make the final dessert, which is my favorite one. But to be honest, the main meal of horse meat is not too amazing, maybe the chef in order to emphasize the meaty freshness of the over-cooked, plus the taste of the sauce is not my dish, resulting in me feeling a little fishy. But other than that, their meal was very careful, the next day's breakfast was a set, oatmeal with a series of beautiful and delicious porridge dishes, this my memory point is very deep. If you must say this small disadvantage, one is such a quality hotel, the rooms are not equipped with any skin care products, plus the unusually dry weather in Nagano in winter, it is a bit unworthy of their brand. In addition, because we are a separate villa, close to Baoguangyuan, it actually takes five minutes to connect to the restaurant. Although the hotel sent a special car to pick up the car, it felt a bit inconvenient and not free.

Our stay at Shukubo Gokui was incredible. So much history and spirit, and although we spoke very little Japanese we were greeted warmly by the family. Every breakfast and dinner served was so thoughtfully presented and delicious. The onsite bath is very clean and almost like a private onsen. The room was warm and comfortable, and it was magical to be in the space with the winter snow piling outside. The location cannot be any better, very near the beautiful Chusha Shrine, on the path to the other shrines in Togakushi, within walking distance to the town Onsen and ski resort, and probably one of the closest lodgings to the bus stop. The original structure is from 1815 with thoughtful updates to make the space comfortable and warm. That foreigners and visitors are allowed to stay at Shokubo Gokui that has been so thoughtfully cared for by the family for years is incredibly special, an experience we will remember for a long time. I hope we can return again.

Shuttle bus service from Nagano Station is a bonus! Close enough to attractions by car, parking is abundant paid 1000yen for 2 days parking. Breakfast spread is pretty good. Only down side is that the hotel is slightly old.
