Shinano-Takehara Station × Highly rated Hotel·Ryokan - 3Page Number

This was my first stay, and the hotel is located right on the slopes, making it very convenient for skiing/snowboarding. The meal was part of a reasonable plan, and the steak was delicious—I’m glad I chose this plan. The room had a humidifier and was warm and comfortable. Next time, I’d like to book a multiple night stay.

Enjoy the sauna without worrying about others! The cold plunge feels great, and relaxing outdoors surrounded by greenery is the best! The Room was unbelievably clean—I was impressed! Spotless! There are no seasonings or coffee, so bring your own. Kitchen appliances and sandals for the sauna are provided.

This is my favorite Accommodation in Nagano! The meals are a delightful blend of Japanese and Western cuisine, thoughtfully crafted in every detail, and they impress me no matter how many times I visit. The morning miso soup is especially outstanding. It’s made with nemagari bamboo shoots that the owner’s son went to gather, and it makes me feel happy from the very start of the day. And the Onsen is wonderful as well. Perhaps because many guests love bathing, they don’t dilute the water much, so you can enjoy it just as it is—nice and hot—which I really appreciate. Onsen lovers will be thrilled. Above all, what makes this Accommodation special is the proprietress. She feels like everyone’s mom—always cheerful, and when you need help she listens kindly and supports you wholeheartedly. She shares not only what to enjoy inside the Accommodation but also what makes the town special, so every visit brings new discoveries. It’s an Accommodation that truly makes you want to come back. I feel that when a place pursues hospitality at a high level, this is what it becomes. It’s an important Accommodation I want to keep coming back to again and again.

The slopes are right in front, and rentals can be arranged at the Hotel, which was very convenient. The meals were luxurious, and we also received souvenirs.

In any case, the host treated us very well. The food was also delicious.

Affordable ski and snowboard rentals were very helpful.

During the stay, lift tickets are included, making it a great value for money! The meals were good as they were buffet-style, allowing you to eat as much as you like, but since there was no warming function, the freshly made food was warm, but over time... However, overall, I was satisfied with the value for money and the meals. It would have been even better if there was a morning bath available.

We stayed here for our ski trip. The location is perfect, right in front of the ski resort. While there are minor points that could affect ratings, overall we were satisfied. The Facility is undeniably old, but the service was good and the meals were as expected. One concern was the slight odor from the drainage in the washing area, which was unfortunate given how great the Onsen was. Also, the cheesecake is absolutely delicious!

Thank you for taking care of me on my solo trip. I was looking for an Accommodation where I could quietly relax and fully enjoy the Onsen and meals, so I chose Jinpyokaku. Even though it was a hot season, there was plenty of greenery, and the Room was clean, quiet, and truly private. It was extremely comfortable. In particular, the in-room semi-open-air bath with free-flowing natural hot spring water available anytime was outstanding. On the charming walkway to the dining area, I felt soothed by the courtyard while listening to the evening cicadas— a nostalgic feeling that’s hard to put into words. Dinner was served in a private room, and every dish brought out the best of each ingredient—I even found myself thinking how delicious vegetables can be. The shabu-shabu was wonderful as expected, and the deep-fried cod coated with buckwheat groats was especially delicious. The portions were more than enough, and I also really enjoyed the local beer. Above all, what impressed me most was the heartfelt hospitality of all the staff. Their manners were impeccable—almost too perfect—and their thoughtful care made me feel truly grateful. I wanted to rest both mind and body, and I thoroughly enjoyed everything. Thank you very much.

I traveled to Nagano City on business, but every hotel in the city was fully booked (the only available rooms were around 40,000–50,000 yen), so I went all the way to Yudanaka Onsen. To be honest, the building itself is old. However, the warm hospitality of the young proprietor more than made up for it and made my stay very pleasant. With a smile, he even shared something that made me think, “What?!” (I can’t write the details here—but if you stay there, you’ll understand and have a good laugh). The room rate was reasonable, but dinner was delicious and generous—enough for two or three people—so it was far too much for me at 65. Still, I didn’t want to waste food, so I took my time and ate slowly over about an hour. Breakfast was also very good. The bath was relaxing as well.

This accommodation is located right next to a famous architectural accommodation in Shibu Onsen, in front of the ninth bath of the Sotoyu Meguri. It is an ideal location for enjoying the Sotoyu Meguri. The hospitality from all staff, including the proprietress, is exceptional, making it a very pleasant place to stay. While the guest rooms are slightly dated, the meals are impeccable in both variety and taste, and of course, the onsen water soothes deep into your body to relieve daily fatigue. For us as a couple, this accommodation exceeded our expectations.

Ideally located for skiing, with very convenient access to the bus stop and ski lifts. The Facility is old, but the service is good and it has the nostalgic charm of a traditional Ryokan. Meals are served individually (not buffet-style) using local ingredients, which felt like excellent value for money and very satisfying for middle-aged and older guests like myself. I’d like to make it my regular Accommodation for skiing.

Thank you for your hospitality. The staff were very pleasant, and the Room was clean and comfortable. The Onsen was also clean and very relaxing. The food was average.

The ski slopes are immediately to the left as soon as you step outside the entrance, so it was great that we could change into our gear in the Room and head straight out. The Onsen was also very relaxing and enjoyable. The staff were wonderful—everyone greeted us with a smile and kindly answered our questions. The building is old, but it was clean and didn’t bother us. It snowed until early morning, then cleared up around 9 a.m., making for perfect conditions.

The building’s atmosphere, the Room, and the service were good. However, the open-air bath is outdoors and the men’s and women’s baths are separated by only a single wooden board, which felt far too insecure. Meals were buffet-style; I felt the selection was somewhat limited, and the soba seemed either not properly chilled in water or overcooked—it was unpleasant, like eating lumps of flour. Also, it was disappointing that the sauna is not available in the morning.

I was worried because the Reviews I checked in advance were low, but I’m very satisfied. The Room was spacious, and the view toward Zenkoji Temple and the night scenery were amazing. The amenities were well stocked, and both the open-air bath and indoor bath were great. Since it was that time of year when the Room heating wasn’t on, it was cold, so I contacted the front desk and they brought me a fan heater. There were some stains and dirt on the carpet, and the amenities didn’t feel particularly luxurious, but at this price it’s more than enough. It seems like meal ratings are very low, but since my stay was No Meals Included, I can’t comment. If you go down about 10 minutes there’s a convenience store, and beyond that there’s an AEON mall, popular supermarkets, chain restaurants, and ramen shops—so even with No Meals Included there’s no problem. I’ll stay here again next year!!

Located in a serene natural setting, this accommodation offers an escape from everyday life. Staying here while listening to the sound of the flowing river is truly soothing. The onsen with natural hot spring water is at the perfect temperature, allowing you to relax for as long as you like. My daughter was delighted to play with a wild raccoon. Although we only had breakfast, it was well-balanced and gentle on the body in both content and portion size. The accommodation is clean and comfortable, making it a place we’d love to visit again next time with dinner included!

I stayed here for a Multiple Night Stay during my trip to Nagano. Even though I arrived much earlier than planned, the front desk staff kindly assisted me, which was very helpful. The Room was spacious enough for a family, and since it was just the two of us as a couple, we could really relax. Because the location is up in the mountains, it was quiet and cool at night, and I slept well. Breakfast was buffet-style with a sufficient variety. Since I stayed multiple nights, I had breakfast twice, and I appreciated that the selection changed slightly. There are vending machines for drinks and ice cream inside the building, as well as a small shop, but there are no convenience stores or restaurants nearby. If you choose a Plan without meals or plan to have light food and drinks in your Room, I recommend shopping before arriving at the Accommodation. I also had a Plan without dinner, so the front desk staff told me about “Madarao no Yu,” located a short way down the hill. Thank you to all the staff for their kind hospitality—this was my first Multiple Night Stay, and I had a very comfortable time.
