Mercure Nagano Matsushiro Resort & Spa

This was my third stay at a Mercure, and a repeat visit to Mercure Nagano Matsushiro Resort & Spa.Last time we booked a breakfast-only plan, and each family member happily piled their plates with their favorites, saying how delicious everything was.This time we chose the plan with both breakfast and dinner.Dinner had a different feel from breakfast and was very tasty.We were also happy about the all-you-can-eat Shine Muscat grapes.For breakfast, I remember being able to choose from about three types of miso last time, but this time there was just one prepared miso soup.Still, there were so many great options that even after two nights we couldn’t try everything we wanted.We even said as a family that we’d like to stay for about a week.We’ll definitely be back again—thank you in advance.

We stayed for three nights. The location was excellent—just off the Nagano Interchange—making it very convenient as a base for sightseeing. The meals were especially outstanding. There was a wide variety, including meat dishes, vegetable dishes, noodles, simmered foods, dressed dishes, and salads, with Japanese, Western, Chinese, and other international options. There were also plenty of desserts and drinks (I don’t drink alcohol so I can’t comment on that). It was a menu that suited all ages and nationalities without becoming repetitive. There were many tour groups and international guests so the dining area was always full, but they managed it well by setting time slots and separating venues. I was impressed by how quickly food was replenished and how promptly spills were wiped up; the staff worked efficiently and kept everything consistently clean. If you stay here, I recommend booking with meals rather than room-only. The amazake in the large public bath was also delicious. I would like to stay here again. Thank you very much.
