Thank you very much, Fuchinobo. This trip was truly enjoyable. We were delighted to have the opportunity to stay at a temple Accommodation at Zenkoji and enjoy a variety of experiences. We also thoroughly enjoyed the delicious shojin-ryori (Buddhist vegetarian cuisine). This was all thanks to everyone at Fuchinobo, and we are sincerely grateful.

We stayed in a guest room with a private rock bath fed directly from the hot spring source. The water quality was among the best three we’ve ever experienced, and we could enjoy it 24 hours a day—absolutely satisfying! The staff were also very welcoming, and we had a truly enjoyable stay.

The Hotel had a wonderful atmosphere at the front desk counter—the face of the property. Of course, the guest rooms were spotless, and the breakfast staff were cheerful. The view was great as well—everything was excellent. A Hotel really comes down to its people. I fully support eco-friendly Hotels. That said, personally, I would prefer amenities like shampoo to be provided in bottles. (For sightseeing, Zenkoji Temple and Togakushi are both lovely, but Obuse—reachable on the Nagano Electric Railway from Shiyakusho-mae Station near the Hotel—was beautiful throughout the town, and I enjoyed exploring by bicycle from the station.) Thank you very much.

We were looking for an Accommodation to stay with our one-year-old, but every Hotel we checked had no Japanese-style Rooms available, so we gave up and booked a Western-style Room at another Hotel. Right up until the last minute, we kept searching on IKYU and found this Room with flooring, so we decided to stay here. The Hotel had the feel of a long-established Western-style Hotel, but the Room had been renovated, so it didn’t feel old. What surprised us most was how thoroughly everything was cleaned—even the corners of the Room were spotless. Even when our baby crawled around, there was no dust. We felt completely at ease. Thank you very much. Having a microwave and kitchen space was also very helpful. The bathroom had a separate washing area and was easy to use. Everyone—from the front desk staff to the cleaning staff—was very pleasant. Thanks to your thoughtful care in many ways, we were able to enjoy our stay with peace of mind. We’re glad we chose to stay here. When we stay in Nagano City again, we would love to stay here again. Thank you very much.

I was impressed first by the wonderful view. If I had arrived earlier, I would have liked to relax in the lounge and enjoy it longer. Each dish tasted handmade. Everything was delicious, and since all drinks were free, I could dine slowly and comfortably without worry. I also liked the chef’s call when new dishes were served. The Room was clean, and I could unwind while looking out at the birch trees. Ideally, it would have been nice to have a large public bath, but the in-room bathroom was spacious and spotless, so I could soak in the tub at leisure. This is an Accommodation I’d love to visit again.

We stayed for two nights as a base for sightseeing and were able to rest well thanks to the quiet atmosphere and comfortable beds. This time we focused on sightseeing and only had breakfast, but the morning buffet was delicious. The spacious, easy-to-use parking lot also left a great impression.

Excellent. The staff were very attentive, and the all-inclusive package was great. The Italian food was delicious, and the bar-time pizza was even better than expected. Overall, we were very satisfied. However, it was very disappointing that we couldn’t use some activities and weren’t allowed to use them in a positive way, so I’ve deducted a few stars for that.

I was a bit worried after reading the Reviews, but while the property is indeed old and the Facilities are modest, it was well cleaned and the service was good. I think the nostalgic Showa-era atmosphere and this price make it very reasonable. There are also many delicious restaurants nearby, so I was very satisfied. I would like to stay again.

A private sauna in the room—what a luxury!!! This Hotel, newly built just last year, is stylish and pristine in every aspect, from the interior and exterior to the shared spaces! The welcome drink was sophisticated and satisfying. The sauna room can heat up to 110°C. It reaches 100°C in just 20-30 minutes after turning it on, and you can enjoy a perfect "löyly" session with added aroma. The cold plunge pool is ice-cold and absolutely refreshing!!! Simply flawless. I forgot something during my stay, but the staff's response and careful packaging were incredibly thoughtful. I will definitely stay here again!

It was a wonderful Accommodation. The hospitality and meals were excellent, and it was very comfortable; I would like to stay again if I have the opportunity.

This was our second stay, and just like last time, we came in February to play in the snow. Above all, the staff were very kind both last year and this year, which made our stay truly pleasant. We stayed with a large dog, and the Room was so spacious that even after setting up a soft dog crate, it still felt just as roomy! The Room was kept very warm with a gas heater, and since we cooked for ourselves, it felt nostalgic—like an old training camp. We will visit again next year. Thank you.

To escape Tokyo’s heat after the rainy season, I stayed at this Accommodation near Lake Nojiri for two nights. In short, it was a wonderful experience. Needless to say, the Facility is brand-new and newly opened, and the unobstructed, majestic views of Mt. Myoko and Mt. Kurohime from the Room felt almost unreal. Above all, I was truly moved by the outstanding hospitality of everyone at the Hotel. I have quite a few food dislikes, and they kindly prepared special dishes to accommodate my requests—I’m sincerely grateful. The meals still made generous use of local ingredients, and every dish was excellent. I also enjoyed watching the food being prepared right in front of me, followed by a lively conversation with the chef afterward. On a day when I had to leave early and couldn’t have breakfast at the Hotel, they instead made hearty onigiri for me to take along. I feel that with just one night you might not be able to fully experience everything this Hotel offers, so if possible I recommend staying two nights or more. I would love to visit again in another season. I often use IKYU for Accommodation Reservations, but after this stay I felt compelled to write a comment for the first time.

This was our first visit to Togakushi Campground, and we stayed at PANORAMA TWIN with friends. The Room was clean and well equipped, so even though we’re not used to outdoor activities, we felt at ease and were able to enjoy our stay comfortably. Spending time talking with friends under the stars and moonlight at night, and in the morning with Mt. Togakushi stretching out beneath a clear blue sky, became a lifelong memory. The staff welcomed us warmly and responded kindly to our questions—we truly appreciated it. By staying at this Accommodation and being guided by an excellent local guide, we were able to fully enjoy the nature and history of the Nagano–Togakushi area despite it being just a 1-night, 2-day trip. I wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone who wants to enjoy an “adult retreat” like we did.

This was my first time staying at an Accommodation at Zenkoji Temple. The Buddhist vegetarian cuisine was delicious, the Room was spacious and well equipped with amenities, and all the staff were extremely kind and helpful. I also joined the Zenkoji morning worship tour the next day; the explanations were very thorough, and I could truly feel their deep devotion to faith in Zenkoji. It was a wonderful stay and worship experience.

As mentioned in other Reviews, the building undeniably feels old. However, I think it’s a very good Hotel that leaves a positive impression, with clear efforts to improve seen throughout. *There were free tea dispensers and water dispensers (as of March 2026).* *It was a weekday stay, and the Wi‑Fi speed was around 240 Mbps.* The meals are delicious, and the portions feel generous. *It might feel a bit insufficient for teenagers going through puberty...* *They were able to accommodate allergies as well—please inquire in advance.* I stayed during ski/snowboard season, and I think the cost performance is good. Above all! The staff are very kind. I would like to stay again.

Anyway, I was amazed by the dinner menu. I truly enjoyed Chef Fujimoto’s cuisine. There’s no word that quite captures how good it was—“delicious” still isn’t enough. Honestly, the Room was simple, but the food made me want to come back. The bed was firm.

It was my first time staying at this accommodation, and it was a wonderful experience. The vegetarian cuisine was very delicious, including the kenchin soup and sesame tofu, which I thoroughly enjoyed. The private bath system allowed me to relax without any concerns. The morning service the next day was explained in detail by the guide, allowing me to learn a lot. I also had a chance to try zazen meditation upon prior request, and as a beginner, the head priest kindly guided me through it. I would love to stay here again when visiting Zenkoji Temple.

The Room felt a bit old, but it was sufficient for just sleeping during a touring trip. Above all, I met three front desk staff members, and their service was excellent. When I called in advance to inform them that we would be arriving with two motorcycles, they reserved a covered parking space for us. Upon arrival, even before getting off the bikes, they came out to the parking lot and promptly guided us to our parking spots. I forgot something at the property, but they called me immediately and sent it to my home the day after I returned. I would love to stay here again when visiting Nagano.

Other than the slightly inconvenient distance from Nagano Station, this is a convenient and good Hotel.
