When you think of traveling in Japan, do you think of Tokyo, Kyoto, or Hokkaido? Although it may not conjure up the same image for some, Nagano Prefecture is a tourist destination where you can enjoy nature, history, and of course, gourmet food. There are many things you can’t do in the city center, such as visiting shrines with myths and legends, zoos where you can see animals at close range, Japanese monkeys soaking in hot springs, picking fruit, camping, and soba noodle making. Why not consider Nagano as a possible destination?
This hotel in front of Nagano Station is not as expensive as a luxury hotel, but it is well located and offers a relaxing stay.
Recommendations おすすめポイント

When you travel, you may want to stay at a nice hotel. If you are thinking that you will spend only a short time in a hotel because you will mainly be sightseeing, and that a luxury hotel would be a waste of your time, then we recommend this hotel as a nice hotel. The interior of the hotel is heavily decorated with chic interior design, giving you a sense of calm and luxury. It is nice to be able to stay there for around 10,000 yen. It is the perfect place to relax after a long day of visiting shrines and experiencing the outdoors.
Some rooms offer a view of the Shinkansen bullet train from the window, which is appreciated by railroad fans and children.

Points to note
Prices rise considerably during the popular tourist season. Last-minute reservations are even more expensive, so plan your trip early!
The hotel opened in 1996, so you may feel the building is old. The building is a little old, and the heavy furniture and interior design create a sense of calm and luxury, but it is not for those who want to stay in a new, beautiful hotel.
This hotel does not have a hot spring. If you are looking for a hot spring, please choose another hotel or ryokan.
