The location, the maintenance, and the staff were all fantastic. The hotel provided a great place to explore the surrounding areas and the collaboration with the local onsen allowed for an excellent and memorable bathing experience. I especially enjoyed that aspect.

It totally exceeded our expectations for the price I payed! It was comfortable, there was a lot of space for an economic room. The bathroom was big and there was enough light. Our room faced the station plaza so it was very nice and cosy inside! Great hotel!

Tokyu Rei was located right next to the railway station which was perfect for our 2 day stay and close to izakaya and other restaurants including good ones in the station. The room (-a deluxe twin) we booked was comfortable, spacious and clean.

While Nagano is best known outside Japan as a Winter...
While Nagano is best known outside Japan as a Winter Olympics host city and a favourite place for people to ski in Winter, it is also the site of the Zenkō-ji Temple.
As one of the most important Buddhist sites in Japan it is extensive and beautifully landscaped. Despite the large number of visitors we felt calmed each of the times we walked through the grounds. You can also purchase a ticket (¥1,200) to climb the Niōmon Gate, visit the main Hondo and walk through the dark tunnel, turn the giant storehouse that contains a complete set of sutras, and see the museum in the war memorial pagoda at the rear of the complex.
Nagano itself is a nice prefectural capital surrounded by forested mountains. In the good late autumn weather it was beautiful and we enjoyed wandering the small streets finding little restaurants and stores, and looking at the interesting mix of old and very new architecture.
We didn't visit any of the popular museums and galleries as after almost 4 weeks in Japan we were "museumed out", but did stumble across the Nishinomon-Yoshinoya Sake Brewery which is well worth a visit, and had lunch at Unaginoyado Sumiyoshi - a well-regarded unagi restaurant.
There are also lots of scenic and nature locations to visit in the surrounding hills, but you need more time than we had to enjoy them.
Overall, Nagano was a bit of a surprise package and being just 1½ hours from Tokyo by Shinkansen I would recommend a visit as part of any Japan itinerary.

Handly location to use as a base for surrounding areas like Matsumoto and Obuse. Just be aware the train to Obuse is not on the JR or the IC/Suica/Pasmo and you'd need cash to buy the ticket.

Many different activities available in the area - cultural, historical, and natural. The Togakushi Shrine Pilgrimage and Kamikochi National Park were my favorites. Excellent souvenir shopping on the street in front of Zenkoji Temple. The city is very walkable. The train from Tokyo provides easy access. During hot summer months it is cooler in Nagano.
The owner made an effort to explain house rules well. English signs were clear, too. And he prepared travel guides. Non-Japanese should appreciate such things and be respectful. The man probably depends on this for income, and we get it for a VERY cheap price, unlike others that charge a lot so don't expect hotel-level accommodation. Travelers shouldn't behave like entitled guests.
The bed was cozy. Location was a good walking distance to Nagano station and same block as a nice grocery store. All you need is there.
No frills hotel with the essentials. Comfortably got the job done for us, just not a relaxing vacation sort of place. Accessible location from the train station and though it's about 30min walking to Zenkoji, it's a scenic walk with lots of stalls and shops after the 15min point. Staff was very kind and accommodating, letting us check-in early because it was pouring outside and giving us towels to dry off. They also stored our luggage for a few hours after check out.
If you want to stay in a comfortable hotel when you are tired from travelling all day and don't want to spend any more time hassling around with transfers and luggage - then stay here. It's directly connected to the station, there are small nice restaurants nearby and the staff are helpful. Rooms are comfortable and a good size for Japan. They have onsite parking if you have car.
The hotel is right opposite to the train station, and from my window, I can see long-distance buses waiting at bus stops to pick up travellers going to Habuka (ski resorts) and Kamikochi (mountain highland for trekking).
The room (at 8th floor) is generally quiet throughout the whole night.
You can have a spa bath at level 2.
Next to the hotel is a 7-11 that opens 24h.
Perfect ryokan in remote Japan. The experience was beyond expectations. The shrines in the area are superb! Everything was perfect and the hostess was very helpful. The food is amazing (but there's too much!)! The ryokan can be easily access by car from Nagano. It is a 35min scenic drive. I suggest nissan-rent-a-car right next to the train station. Everything went smoothly.
Very central location, literally a couple of minutes on foot from train station, buses to the main two attractions (Zenkoji and Togakushi) departing from a bus stop right next to the hotel. The hotel itself was modern and clean, rooms were comfortable, not very big but also not the smallest by Japanese hotels standards. Good breakfast.
Superb hotel ! Value for the money. Location is near to Nagano Station hence we walked to the hotel. The open air onsen at roof top is really cool. You will surely like it. Also, after 9:30 pm they provide free ramen noodles with limited portion if you missed to have dinner. Overall experience was really nice !
The location of the hotel is fairly close to the train station. Easy walk, or take a bus for a stop. 7/11 across the street is nice. Pretty close to the bars in the city. Loved that they had washer dryer in the building. Rooms were nice and clean. Free coffee and manga rentals, if you could ready japanese.
The room was good, slightly bigger than the average Japanese hotel room (in our budget). Comfortable bed, lots of amenities (also for children with slippers and duck-shaped sponges).
TV, yukata, kettle,….
Good location with the bus and train station across the road.
And very friendly, helpful staff.
Good Japanese breakfast that we were happy to pay for. Little but clean room walking distance from the main train station. Quiet, clean place. We were all energized the next day and walked to the Zenkoji Temple which was the highlight of our one day visit before the start of our Nakasendo Trail walk
Very good customer service! We accidentally booked smoking room and they switched our rooms. Very clean and modern hotel right next to the JR station. Free breakfast buffet that includes both Japanese and western options. Very happy with our stay!
Good location!! Very close to the train station and Zenkoji temple, the main attraction of Nagano city. There is a big supermarket next to the hostel which runs 24 hours. The bathroom was super clean so it was very comfortable to use.
The hotel is located at the Nagano train station so it was very convenient. It is a nice hotel with friendly and helpful staff. The room was comfortable, had good amenities, and the heating/air conditioning unit worked great.
Less than 10 minute walk to Nagano station. Has a convenience store across the street. Walking distance to Zenkoji temple and shopping mall (at the train station). A lot of restaurants nearby.
This hotel was exceptional value, good size room by Japanese standards, clean and comfy bed and is just a five minute flat walk from the train station. The staff are very helpful and friendly.
Best location for our stay in Nagano. Great area to walk around with lots of cosy bars and restaurants. Very close to Nagano Station for our tours out from the city
The hotel served our purposes very well. It was centrally located to the train station and very quiet and comfortable for getting a good night's sleep.
