Romantic Hotels in Nagano Prefecture, Japan

I had a wonderful stay at Amagawaso in Shibu Onsen. The ryokan is run by an elderly couple who don’t speak English, but they were incredibly sweet and welcoming. With the help of Google Translate, communication was easy enough and actually added to the charm of the experience. They provided yukata and geta for exploring the town, as well as the key that gives access to the nine public onsens in Shibu — an amazing and unique experience. On top of that, the ryokan offers a free 40-minute private onsen session, which was a lovely touch. Our room was very spacious, and shortly after we arrived, the hostess came in to prepare complimentary matcha tea for us. She also gifted us steamed buns filled with red bean paste, which felt incredibly thoughtful. The location is also very convenient for visiting the Snow Monkey Park, making it an excellent base for exploring the area. Overall, the hospitality was genuine, the onsen experience was fantastic, and the atmosphere felt authentically traditional. Highly recommend staying here if you’re visiting Shibu Onsen or planning a trip to see the snow monkeys.

在湯田中車站附近的旅館羣中，距離車站大概2-300米。嘉美也是個日式感十足的旅館，蘑菇頭小哥會詳細的介紹各種情況以至於我感覺從入住到拿到鑰匙進房中間聽他介紹了大概20-30分鐘。 我們入住的園景+浴室房，其實是公用園景，其他房間如果有人在移門邊的話是會看到的。浴室以為是露天泡澡池，其實是房間內有個廁所帶浴室而已，且浴室冬天極冷，只有一個小取暖爐，沒啥大用。房間內空調感覺也不太給力，還有個大暖爐，靠近很暖和，房間內總體是暖和的。入住時旅館會在房間內保温好熱水、日式點心供旅客使用。 因為房間很少，所以晚上極為安靜，不會有樓上以及關門聲。 這家旅館內提供兩個公共温泉（含露天温泉池），晚餐以及另外兩個温泉需要走5分鐘到萬屋內使用。 整體體驗還是不錯的，但是萬物晚餐和旅館內早餐都是日式料理風格，個人不喜歡。

This time I stayed in the newly renovated new wing of the hotel. The room was very comfortable, beautiful and hygienic. The view outside the room was very beautiful. The staff were also very enthusiastic. In addition, free drinks and noodles were provided after taking a bath. I will definitely choose it again next time. here

As a base for climbing Kiso komagatake, I was taken care of in 2 nights and 3 days. It was very close to the bus stop for the ropeway platform and had excellent access. The staff were warm and polite, and I was able to relax from the bottom of my heart. The quality of the hot springs is also excellent, and I am very satisfied that I can heal the tiredness of climbing.
