Pet Friendly Hotels in Nagano Prefecture, Japan

The hotel is pet friendly, you may see dogs staying in the hotel, they're cute!! The room is quite big and good accommodated. The hotel staff is friendly and helpful. There is Family Mart nearby the hotel, it's very convenient.

Mostly good experience. The staff was super friendly and accommodating. The French restaurant was delicious. And it was great that there was a ski rental and storage right inside the hotel. Added to that, the convenience of skiing right to the lift is heavenly. The bar/ lounge was chill and cozy. However it either seemed there was a shortage of staff, mostly new staff, or both. The mandatory dinner reservations were very restrictive even though when getting there at the reserved time, the restaurant was half empty. And most frustrating was that there was no options for getting any type of food after 8:30. So if you get hungry after that time or want a snack, you better pre buy one of the 3 options of instant noodles from the lobby store (before it closes also).

The room was very spacious and clean. All amenities and tableware were fully provided. The staff were all very welcoming. The breakfast was generous and delicious. The only caveat is that the hotel is located halfway up the mountain, far from the city center, so it's recommended to drive.

Since it was cheaper than other ryokans in the area, I didn’t expect much. But to my surprise, it offered full service—just like the more expensive ryokans I’ve stayed at before! They even provided a pickup service from the train station, which I forgot to book. Luckily, a Western couple sitting next to me on the train had reserved it. When I saw the “Hotel Housei” sign on the van outside the station, I hopped in! The hotel is a bit far from the station and involves walking up and down hills, so carrying luggage all the way would have been quite tough. I was really fortunate to catch that ride! Cherry blossoms were in full bloom along the river, just a few steps from the hotel—such a beautiful sight. The room wasn’t large, but it had enough space and was very comfortable. The elderly gentleman at the front desk seemed to speak multiple languages—he even knew some Thai! He was incredibly friendly and welcoming. The onsen was wonderful. The indoor bath was a bit too hot for me, but the outdoor bath was cooler and more relaxing. Breakfast was a buffet, which was decent. In conclusion, this place was absolutely worth it. Next time, if I go skiing in Shiga Kogen or bring someone to see the snow monkeys, I’ll definitely remember to book the pick-up and drop-off service in advance!

The hot spring is great, and the water quality is very comfortable. 👍👍 The breakfast is delicious, and dinner is good too, but the menu never changes; it's the same every day. If you're staying for a longer ski trip, everything tastes bad after two days. 😓 The location is very convenient if you have your own car. If not, taking a taxi is also easy, though sometimes you have to wait a bit longer. None of the staff speak English. Every time, they just give you a look that says, 'I don't understand, sorry, I can't help you,' which is very frustrating. 🥲🥲 **Hygiene:** I stayed at this hotel for 5 nights. Upon check-in, they said the room would be cleaned once after three days. However, three days passed, and even after reminding them, no one came to clean. No one cleaned the room until we left. I had to clean it myself every day like a housekeeper. 🥹 **Room:** The space is quite large. The overall feel is like a 70s-80s hotel. If you like a nostalgic vibe, it's pretty good. The overall price is reasonable, it's a good place, and I'd come back here to ski next time. 👍👍 But I'll definitely bring an AI translator next time, otherwise, communication will be impossible. 😅😅

near hakuba station.

Very good accommodation, good room, very lovely staff!!! Friendly, kind, can speak English fluently. If I come back to this city again, I will definitely come back here again. The room is very good, hot heater, hot water, there is a bathtub to soak in, delicious breakfast. When we went it was winter, the accommodation will have a pick up service to the station area, but when we went there were few people, so they took us to the tourist area as well. And in the evening, they picked us up and returned to the accommodation, including dropping us off so we could catch a bus to go to another city.

這次來東京，本來只是想找個「乾淨＋交通方便」的飯店， 結果意外住到一間讓人捨不得退房的地方。 🌙 房間第一眼感覺： 乾淨到發光，燈光偏暖色系，拍照完全不用濾鏡。 床墊軟硬適中，直接一覺到天亮。 🛁 浴室加分： 有大浴缸（旅行走一整天真的太需要泡澡）， 備品齊全，吹風機風量夠大，不會吹到生氣。

Nice hotel
