Hotels near Chusha No.2 Pair Lift, Nagano

This ryokan and the hospitality is something special! It was beyond amazing, and the best experience we had during our 21-day trip in Japan. We felt right at home from the beginning, even though Maki told us she was worried we would not be comfortable seeing its a traditional Japanese house. On the contrary; everything is well thought of and very stylish. You get to experience a real Japanese inn in a relaxed manner. We didn’t have any experience with traditional ryokans, and Maki kindly thought us the ways of putting on a yukata, enjoying a kaiseki meal and using an onsen. She and her mom are beyond kind and caring, and provide you with everything you need (i.e. they send us on our hike with drinks and a bear-bell). The food is truly amazing (and there is a lot!!!) and Maki takes time to explain the origin of the products/dishes and a lot of the food is seasonal and resourced locally. The room was beautiful, with a spectacular view and nice comfy places to sit. The futon beds were very comfortable and on top of that everything was very tidy and clean. We are so thankful we got this opportunity and feel blessed we met them and cute Fukumaki and Kenta and will keep the memories we made here forever in our hearts. WE WILL BE BACK!

Beautifully and everything you need, we came by bus and used public transport - you need to plan ahead because of bus times but it’s a five minute walk from the bus station and easily accessible.

The peace of the surroundings, the beauty of the house itself and the great crockery and cooking utensils in the kitchen.

Easy booking process. Quick communication. Despite being perhaps a bit outdated the rooms were very comfortable and very clean. Rooms are as advertised. And what a lovely owners! True Japanese hospitality at its best. We had a great stay!

The service and facilities were second to none. Highly recommend!
