Pet Friendly Hotels in Nagano Prefecture, Japan

We really enjoyed our stay at this hotel. The room was quite spacious and clean. Every day cleaning, replacement of towels and bathrobes, frequent change of bed linen. Razors, toothbrushes, shampoos, soap, shower caps, clean bathrobes are always freely available near the reception. The view from our window was of the mountains. The hotel has a spacious, comfortable ski room. Each room has a locker for storing ski equipment. Ventilation is good. There is no drying. Our stay included breakfast and dinner, which we really enjoyed. Buffet. The choice of dishes is large, especially for dinner. For breakfast you can choose two types of omelet, sausages, sausage, fish, various vegetables, fruits, juice, milk, cereal, salads, soups, croissants, etc. For dinner, there is generally a great selection of dishes: raw fish, fried fish, stewed fish, squid, shrimp, scallop, pork with vegetables, beef stew, chicken, soups, salads (huge selection), vegetables (huge selection), national dumplings, and of course rice and spaghetti, fruit, ice cream, cakes and I don’t remember what else)). The hotel spa has two onsens: the first is indoors, the second is indoors with an open window (there is access to fresh air, which is very nice) and a view of the mountain. There is also a sauna. There are separate zones for men and women. Entrance to the pool is extra (600 yen per adult), but it seems the pool was not open. There are massage chairs in the spa area, only 100 yen for a 10-minute session. Shampoos, hair conditioners, shower gels and body lotions are provided at the onsen. The hotel has a store where you can buy souvenirs, sweets, alcohol, as well as accessories such as glasses, masks, gloves and other things. On the ground floor there is ski equipment rental. The staff is very polite and helpful. The hotel is located right next to the ski slopes and lifts of the Norikura resort. There were few people on the Norikura slopes, so the slopes were in excellent condition until the evening. Several ski lifts depart directly from the hotel, from which you can go down a couple of red slopes and three green ones. Comfortable for beginners: wide, gentle, uncrowded slopes. Norikura connects to the Cortina area, which is also fun to ride. The total length of the trails is about 20 km. There is a shuttle stop next to the hotel, which takes you to any resort in Hakuba. There are no shops nearby. The hotel is not new, the furniture is somewhat tired, but this did not worsen our stay at all; the advantages of the hotel outweigh this 100 percent. I highly recommend this hotel.

A wonderful stay here. Refreshed and modern. We had the family room with two futons which was pretty spacious. The only downside was that the basin was located inside the bathroom, making it inconvenient for others to use it. The location was brilliant as it was only walking distance to Echoland with plenty of dining options. The breakfast buffet had a pretty good range though if some of the dishes could be different each day that would be even better. One thing to note that is that the car park is unsheltered. We stayed for the ski season in January and on one night there was heavy snow, so the next morning we had to spend some time shovelling the snow around our car before we could drive it out. I suspect this is pretty typical in Hakuba though. Overall we were very satisfied and would highly recommend this for a family ski trip.

Located just within 3min from Yudanaka station, Raki Onsenryokan is run by a Chinese family. As a quiet town on its own, no one was tending to the reception when I arrived, after ringing the bell, a lady came down to help with the check in - very straightforward. I believe the family stays in the same building as they said if we ever needed anything, we could just ring the bell at the reception. Obviously I had booked a room too big for a solo traveller as this was the only room left as ”non-smoking”. Toilet and sink are at two different parts of the room which was a little inconvenient. Ryokan offers free drive (15min) TO snow monkey park, but not return, so please cater at least 35min to walk from park exit to the bus stop. Ryokan also provided a hearty breakfast, overall for the price paid it was a decent stay!

Come to Hakuba Village Iwadake to see the autumn leaves. The air is fresh and there is a sense of open space. The place to stay is very warm and the landlord’s meticulous reception allows us to rest and regain our strength. Next time we will come to experience the good snow scene.

I had dinner at 2800 yen plus local It was a great answer. The view from the room was outstanding. It is about 4 kilometers from Kurohime station, but it is impossible to walk. It was about 2000 yen by taxi

The hotel's room is not very large, probably because it is the relationship of the ski hotel, so what equipment, can only say that. However, the back door of the hotel is directly a ski lift, so it is very convenient

Met with welcoming and good service staff, start of a great 2-night stay. The breakfast, Japanese and Western were appetising. There are 2 routes to the hotel by car, both will have narrow and winding country roads at certain stretch to and from the hotel. Can be intimidating drive in the night especially when the days are short from November onwards.

Perfect stay,amazing host! Beautiful breakfast,made with love. Great hall downstairs where you can relax and read a book or play piano or violin. Good connection with free shuttle buses to Hakube station with Lawson. Not far from food street with restaurants and bars!  Very quiet at night, we absol Loved our stay! We will come back there again!
