Nagano Tsuruga Hotels

This is an extremely cosy place, but I would not dare describe it as luxurious. It is dated and simple, with the most basic amenities. However, I liked it a lot. The best part about this ryokan is its owner, an elderly man. He truly puts his heart and soul into his establishment. He even suggested to give us a ride to the station, however the weather was nice and we decided to walk instead. I'd like to highlight the breakfast: it was gorgeous, given the price. I'd even say it tasted better than a ¥3000 dinner I had at some local restaurant. The whole experience felt like visiting your grandparents, who live in a village, during the summer.

Good place to stay if you are in nagano. A 10 minutes walk from the station, but the quiet is worth it. Can visit kamikochi!

We chose a double room, which was very very good. The room we stayed in was spacious, not cramped, clean, and the bed was comfortable. When you walk down the stairs in front of the hotel, there is a 7-Eleven, which is very convenient. However, if you drag your luggage to Nagano train station, it will take about 10-15 minutes, but it is not a big obstacle. If you have a car, the hotel has a parking lot, but you have to drive for about 5 minutes. Overall, it is okay. I am very satisfied with this hotel.

Although it is a little old, it seems to be very clean. The location is also quite good, about a 3-minute walk from the Zenkoji Exit. It is close to the downtown area, but far enough away that noise is not an issue, so the location is very good. The air conditioning is not just an on/off option, but can be adjusted to the desired temperature, so it was very comfortable. This is an inn with excellent cost performance.

We were drawn to this hotel because my friends and I absolutely love Chateraise cakes! Conveniently located about an 8-minute walk from Nagano Station, the hotel was easy to find. Check-in was smooth, and the rooms were comfortable and welcoming. The best part was the daily treat of Chateraise cakes offered as welcome treats and during tea time—a delightful indulgence. The hotel served as an excellent base for exploring Nagano, with popular sights like Zenko-ji Temple within walking distance. Overall, it was a wonderfully convenient stay.

Since I was leaving early in the morning, I stayed overnight without breakfast. The room was old, but it was close to Nagano Station and easy to get to the bar district, so it was convenient. The only disappointment was that the large public bath was only for men.

The location is close to the city center. There is a parking lot for parking. The room is clean and comfortable. It is very comfortable.

The room is ok, the service is ok, and the health is ok. There are two small problems. First, breakfast is too simple, not even eggs, milk, pickles, etc. Second, many switches in the room are broken and maintenance should be strengthened.

The room was very clean and quite spacious, especially for a Japanese hotel. Even during our two-night stay, when we opted out of daily housekeeping, they still kindly provided fresh towels and linens. I managed to leave my room key in the room twice, but the staff at the front desk were always very helpful and promptly issued a replacement.

The room was very nice - sufficiently large and with all necessary amenities (even a small fridge). The room was clean and in good condition. The staff was very kind and stored my luggage for free, as I arrived early in the morning. The hotel is conveniently located, yet in a rather quiet place. It's a walking distance from both Nagano station and Zenkoji temple (approximately 20-25 minutes), however, do note that the nearest bus stop is about 900 meters away, so if you got a lot of luggage and do not intend to get a taxi, that may be a bit far. They also have coin operated washing machines and dryers, in case you need them. Overall, a great option for most travelers, especially in terms of value for money.
