"The place was cosy and the host was so very helpful with transport to grocery shopping and station, & lift passes. The small house had all the facilities you need and was toasty. "

"We had a truly delightful stay. The space was generous, with three bedrooms, two bathrooms, and a spacious living and dining area. Everything was clean, comfortable, and tastefully decorated, making us feel completely at home. The kitchen was fully equipped with everything we needed, it had all the essentials and more. We enjoyed a cozy evening indoors, cooking and shabu shabu
together. The host was incredibly nice and responsive, and all the information provided was clear and helpful. We’re...

"We stayed at Prominence near the start of spring. During this time, many shops, restaurants, and cafés were either closed for the season, closed early, or had limited seating. Many bar-style eateries were also not very welcoming to families with children.
In hindsight, it might have been better to stay in the Happo-One area, as it was the only ski resort still open for the remainder of the spring season.
That said, the accommodation itself was beautifully modern and spacious. The kitchen was...

"Tyler, Mari, Andy and Mio were fantastic hosts, The kaiseki-style food was amazing (I opted for the half board; the ultimate way to go). From the moment I had walked into the ryokan, I had felt like my dreams had come true. From what I had only imagined and seen in anime/videos to actually experiencing a traditional ryokan with traditional Japanese-styled rooms. Equipped with tatami mats, shogi screens, and breath-taking views (I had the second floor room with a view of Mt. Hattoh).
The room was kept exceptionally clean (I forgot to include photos of the room, but they are online to look at) and the provided yukata and geta sandals really rounded out the experience (there weren’t that many people walking around in the first place, so a foreigner in a yukata and geta sandals felt out of place at least for me; I walked around the town and no one paid any mind to what I was wearing and actually complimented it).
Since Kamesei Ryokan was my very first venture into using an onsen (they do allow tattoos in their onsen, but if you’re not comfortable you can rent a private bath), I didn’t know the etiquette. I did use it; the natural hot springs felt fantastic on my body, relieving every aching muscle that had been used for walking over 20k steps a day, and the 100-year open air bath was amazing even at midnight.
Make sure you immerse yourself in the experience there; wear the yukata, bathe in the onsen, and enjoy yourself; I travelled solo this time, and i will come back."
"Good location…10 minute walk from Nagano Station. Helpful attentive staff. Very good breakfast buffet with a nice view of the city. Even without room service. Towels, coffee pods and toiletries were replenished via bag left on room door. My only “criticism”…they have done away with the large bottles of body soap and shampoo in the tub and replaced with small bottles. ☹️"
"Staff were extremely helpful and friendly. The property was clean and has most amenities needed during travel. The breakfast had a wide selection mostly toward Asian style."
"consistently great Dormy Inn, great amenities like free ramen at 930 pm plus ice cream and yorgurt drink kept us coming back again and again. The room is clean and comfortable, wifi is super fast and breakfast was healthy and delicious. Our trip to Japan will always include a stay at Dormy Inn."
"The hotel is very clean and our breakfast was lovely. They have both Japanese and European options, a very nice onsen on the roof top. Everyone working there is very kind and helpful, they go above and beyond for a guest. Strongly recommend."
"Easy checkin and plenty of close paid parking (1000 yen/day). Staff were helpful and several spoke English. The twin room non smoking was small, like many Japanese hotel rooms. We found the beds were hard. The hotel is easy walking distance to the castle and station and other main tourist attractions. Experienced some road noise on the 6th floor but not excessive. The hotel "hot spring bath" was very small. Overall OK for an overnight stay due to its location."
