Altitude Nozawa is your average Nagano ski resort hotel with all the essentials intact. what has made our stay utterly enjoyable was the company of hotel staff. Our sincere gratitude to Jack, Kleber and Nobu san who went out of their ways to help us sort out the ski gear, picking us up and dropping us off to the slopes, bus terminals and restaurant outings. Paul, upon sudden notice of my diet, made me a mushroom omelette for breakfast, it was absolutely delicious. Such a lovely team, undoubtedly due to the leadership skills of Jack.

There are a total of seven of us traveling by car in the Nagano and Nagaoka areas, and this is the only hotel that can accommodate 7 people. The host is very friendly and tried to communicate with us in slow Japanese and simple English. The room is big and clean, the air-conditioning facilities and bedding are also very comfortable. But be aware that there is only shared washrooms, and because of the covid, the onsen closes before 7:30, which means it will be difficult for you to take a shower after 7:30 (2022/08/05).

Hamanoyu feels like an old grand dame from another era. The staff do their best to keep up the quality and they do a good job. My room was small and cute. The sauna and hot spring facilities were well-maintained and felt comfortable and relaxing. I only got breakfast, but it was more than adequate. I feel that not enough. People are visiting that part of Nagano these days, and that tourism is suffering, which is ironic because much of the rest of Japan appears to be booming. I hope, I can do my small part to help get the word out.

The staff were amazing and made the stay very memorable. The accommodation was outstanding value offering a large clean Japanese style room and an exceptional breakfast, the location is perfect for snow monkey park visit. Recommend booking the private Onsen and visiting the Sake bar. This property is very easy to access from Tokyo via Shinkansen to Nagano and then local train (200m walk to hotel). There are plenty of transport options within town to visit snow monkeys and lots of great dining options.

Hotel is around 15-20 min walk from Nagano Station... there is, we found out after we arrived(!), a free shuttle bus! The accommodation was good - big room, comfortable beds etc. Nothing actually wrong but just felt a bit dated and in need of a bit of TLC!! It's very much a business hotel rather than a tourist one I would say - lots of conferences/meetings etc happening whilst we were there. Value for money was excellent and I would recommend if you are in town for a couple of days.

The Nagano region is famous for Haiku poet Issa, is all I knew before arriving, now it is a beautiful memory of quaint day spas. Traditional Japanese breakfasts cooked by the Hiroshuki family are amazing hosts and Hiroshuki San's wife is an excellent cook. The kitchen for guests is perfect for a micro wave snack or cutting up a salad as well, all utensils are on hand. The pillows and futon and Japanese style sleeping is also very health giving. I enjoyed this stay and my first 10/10.

This was an awesome base for exploring Nagano area! Super close to the train and bus (easy walk to both), plenty of nearby restaurants and convenience stores. The highlight was the free bike rentals, which are available first come first serve, for 3 hours per person per day. The receptionist did not speak English but was very patient with Google translate and generous with an extra pillow. Hotel was quiet and clean. Beds were firm, but our room was far bigger than in Tokyo!

The three onsens were great, so fun just having a quick spa whenever you felt like it day or night! Very flexible with food preferences/dietary requirements they are able to cater to anyone Yudanaka town was pretty quiet in spring, not much going on but very relaxing nonetheless The rooms were very clean and so spacious The scenery around this part of Japan is way more beautiful than I had expected Easy to get here - one 45 min train from nagano station

I stayed for a night on my way to Shiga Kogen. Hotel is perfectly located right across Nagano station, you see it the moment you exit the station. Which was excellent after a long day of travel. Super convenient to check out the next morning and just cross the road for the bus. Hotel was clean and staff were friendly and welcoming, and the hotel provides some thoughtful amenities are provided at the lobby. There is a 711 right next door.

Best location we stayed at in a 2 week holiday in Japan. The other hotels we used were all conventional ones and we wanted to stay in at least on Ryokan and chose this one. The location is perfect, really close to Zenkoji Temple which is the most historic area in Nagano, with lots of really nice shops to explore. The room was perfect and we really enjoyed the traditional Japanese breakfast

Great location. Its a 5 min walk away from Nagano station. It was good for taking a quick trip to Zenkoji Temple in the morning, which is 16 mins away by bus. Hotel room was on the small end for a double room, but we didn't mind. The staff was very polite and helpful when helping international tourists check in. The free breakfast was tasty and filling. Check out was very fast.

Everything about my stay was great - from the beautiful traditional Japanese house, delicious feast carefully prepared by the owners, warm and cozy room with a spectacular view of Nagano mountains, to the surrounding nature, snow, and calming atmosphere. Oshi-san (the owner) is the kindest and most welcoming person you can imagine - can't recommend this stay enough!

Comfy and clean bed ’pod’ and shared bathroom facilities. Nice bar downstairs, the beers are really good though a bit pricey. The staff are super-nice and put up with my terrible Japanese 🤣 the location is perfect for Nagano station (10 mins walk max) and then it's a straight walk to the temples through the main shopping streets. I'd definitely stay again.

Is my second time staying at Dormy Inn Nagano and it still maintains its standard. Hotel is near station. Onsen is nice and peaceful place after whole day’s activities. Lobby provides free beverages all day. Staff are professional to help me forward my luggage to another hotel. Highly recommend anyone to stay here when visiting Nagano.

Breakfast was very good for a westerner. The breakfast room was very functional & not really comfortable or appealing but that is the Japanese way. The location was superb. We visited Nagano to see the snow monkeys & mountains. good for the monkeys but a long way to the mountains & not much info on getting to interesting places.

Small hotel very close to ski lift. Very nice and very hot onsen (hot bath). Traditional breakfast included, but no coffee. Ski room and storage in basement. 2 restaurants in same building, and lots more within walking distance, also close to bus station for bus to Nagano and small convenience store. Friendly and helpful staff.

Wonderful Ryokan to stay in. The staff are so welcoming and accommodating. The onsen was awesome. The food was delicious and a great taste of traditional Japanese food and food famous in the local Nagano prefecture. The rooms were spacious and they make up the futon for you. The shuttle bus to the Monkey park was so helpful.

The location is perfect for skiing: the slopes (including rental office) is a less than 2 minute walk down the road. There is a rental shop in the building, but it only has beginner gear: advanced gear can be found an 8-minute walk down the road. The bus stop is also close by, both for the local bus and the bus to Nagano.

Hotel is close to JR Nagano station and there are a variety of restaurants around the station. The room is well-equipped with amenities, including a massage chair! Breakfast was served buffet-style on the 12th floor, which afforded a lovely view of the surrounding area. Staff were helpful and friendly.

The staff is really nice person! they help us a lot when we get off the bus at a wrong station (middle of nowhere) Without them we would have to go back to Nagano😭 The Onsen is great and the room is clean and warm, and the lounge is really cozy and beautiful. Definitely recommending this hotel!
