2-Star Hotels in Nagano Prefecture, Japan

ที่พักสะอาดมาก เตียงนอนสบายและสะอาด บ่อออนเซ็นเล็กแต่แช่น้ำสบาย เสียดายอาจจะเห็นวิวเขาแค่บางส่วน

It is difficult to drive by car, so other means of transportation are recommended. I booked a suite room, but it was very large and I enjoyed it enough even for a large number of people.

We came to Shiga Plateau for skiing, we have been to Yudanaka four times, and we have lived in 8 different homestays. Daimaru House is the best one: A The boss's English is good, there is no problem with communication (the boss is not good); B There is a bathroom in the room, which is very convenient (most of the bathrooms in the homestay are shared and inconvenient) C In the hot spring town, eating is very convenient; D Going out is the station, it is convenient to go skiing on the mountain; E Indoor and outdoor hot springs are large and powerful; F The boss is very nice and provides pick-up/send-off/go to snow monkey park service (this is very important in Tangtianzhong, some homestays do not provide it) In a word, come to Shiga Plateau skiing, choose Daimaru House is right!

⭐Geographical location: Yudanaka Hot Spring is relatively close to Jigokudani Monuen, a 20-minute walk from the station. It should be noted that you can pick up the station before 5 pm. We arrived at 5:30, but the boss said we could not pick up. Although the distance is not long, it still takes a while to walk on the mountain road. You can also take a bus, which runs every half an hour. ⭐Service: There are two shopkeepers serving you, and their attitude is very good. They will help you deliver your luggage to the coffee shop next to the station when you travel the next day. It should be noted that if you check in after 3 pm, you will not be able to make calls in the morning. I left something in the room. No one answered the phone after three calls. In the end, I had to go to the store to get it again. ⭐Facilities: The room layout is relatively simple and the facilities are relatively simple. To be honest, the heating is relatively small and it is a bit cold at night. There is no shower room and toilet, and the sink only has cold water. Shower rooms and hot springs need to be charged separately, 500 yen. Public toilets (all small Japanese-style hotels are like this) are very clean, because there are few rooms and few guests, and you have never touched anyone else in the toilet. Anyway, the price/performance ratio is pretty good. ⭐Meals: Our order included dinner and breakfast, but the portions were small and not enough to fill us up. When we got out of the station, we had to remember to buy some food from Lawson. There are no convenience stores in the hot spring street! Mineral water is not provided, and there is an additional charge of +100yen. ⭐Hot spring: You can soak in 9 soups on the street, but there is only one key, so you have to go there separately. The private soup shop in the store is in B1. It is relatively simple, has a lot of moisture, and is not very clean. It is recommended to go to the public soup house. Although the boss said that there is no place to take a bath in the public bath, so you can only buy a private bath + shower, which is a bit embarrassing.

The owner, amiable, breakfast is delicious

Located just within 3min from Yudanaka station, Raki Onsenryokan is run by a Chinese family. As a quiet town on its own, no one was tending to the reception when I arrived, after ringing the bell, a lady came down to help with the check in - very straightforward. I believe the family stays in the same building as they said if we ever needed anything, we could just ring the bell at the reception. Obviously I had booked a room too big for a solo traveller as this was the only room left as ”non-smoking”. Toilet and sink are at two different parts of the room which was a little inconvenient. Ryokan offers free drive (15min) TO snow monkey park, but not return, so please cater at least 35min to walk from park exit to the bus stop. Ryokan also provided a hearty breakfast, overall for the price paid it was a decent stay!

We really liked the hotel, it was very exotic for us, we swam in the onsen - it was magical, we slept on a futon for the first time in our lives - many thanks to the owners for their hospitality. Hello from St.Petersburg

This hotel was excellent in all aspects: value for money, location, service, and cleanliness. Nozawa Onsen has many outdoor baths, so all you need is a place to stay with a clean and comfortable shower. I would recommend this hotel not only to Japanese people but also to foreign tourists.

The hotel's pick-up service at Yudanaka Station gave a very good first impression. Although the facilities are a bit old, the service is very warm, the room is very large, and there is a private hot spring. Every morning, the hotel also picks up guests to the Snow Monkey Park for free. However, there is a small flaw in the service I personally encountered. When I checked in, the hotel informed me that the return time from the Snow Monkey Park was 12 noon, just in time for the 12:30 bus back to Nagano, but in fact it became 12:30 the next day. I had to take the next bus back to Nagano. Because there were fewer buses, it was about an hour and a half late.

The food was good and the hot spring culture in the town was great, but the hotel was too cold in winter. Very traditional hotel
