Hotels in Nagano, Japan

Located over a bridge from the JR station, Hotel Sunroute Nagano-Higashiguchi is in an excellent location. It's the wrong side of the station from most of the shops, city centre and tourist places, but the convenience of being 2 minutes or less from the station can't be overlooked. For someone like me who was mostly making shinkansen or standard train trips out to other cities throughout Nagano Prefecture, this was the perfect location. It's also right next to a convenience store for any quick snack, drink or breakfast needs.

The hosts are lovely and personable, and the breakfast and dinner were fantastic. Definitely add both if you are staying, as the area is very quiet and other options are a bit of a walk away, and they strive to give you a good demo of unique local food & Japanese fare in general. Bus stop to/from Nagano is right around the corner from the ryokan. It's also right at the foot of the first of the Togakushi shrines - incredible cedars, and perfect if you're planning to walk the whole route.

The hotel is super close to Nagano Station’s Zenkoji Exit (less than five minutes away), which was much appreciated after a long day of walking. The room came with many amenities including yukata pajamas, a rentable smartphone, free wifi, a hot water heater, coffee, tea, a blow dryer, and towels. Toiletries included shampoo, body wash, a razor, toothbrush, and comb. The breakfast buffet was delicious and plentiful, with both Japanese and western options.

This hostel was one of the best experiences of our trip to Japan. The staff was wonderfully kind and helpful, and truly made us feel welcomed, in addition to providing excellent recommendations for how to experience Nagano's local attractions. Though the accommodations were modest, we had everything we needed and it was a comfortable, quiet stay. The location was fantastic to boot. We couldn't have asked for a better stay.

Everything! From the staff to the room, everything! The staff was so kind and helpfull. They presented for us, where and what we can eat in town, how to get to the shrine in the fastest way, how to get to Nagano station, also they helped with our luggage. The room it was clean. I can say for sure, it was our best experience in Japan because it wasn't any other place/hotel/etc. with such nice peoples.

Hotel location was super convenient to Nagano Station. Common areas were tastefully decorated and very clean. Triple room was comfortable and had ammenities for 3 people. Room had everything needed for an impromptu overnight stay, even pajamas. The bathroom was compact but it was well laid out and also had a bathtub. The breakfast at the hotel catered to both Japanese and Western tastes.

Nagano prefecture is probably my favorite place in Japan. On this trip we visited Kamisuwa Onsen in Lake Suwa and it did not disappoint. + Hotel shuttle picked us up from JR Kami-Suwa Station, just contact them beforehand + Super friendly and helpful staff + Awesome lake view! + Japanese suite room very large + Excellent dinner and breakfast + In-room onsen

The owner, Hidei, was friendly and helpful. The whole staff were so courteous and helpful. We loved our room, and the onsen was a wonderful experience. Hotel & Resort Kiyomizu Bozanso has so much character - our family LOVED the experience. If I ever have the opportunity to come back to Nagano, I will definitely be staying here again.

Extremely convenient to the train station and a 15-20 minute walk to the main sights of Nagano, including Zenko-Ji temple. The room was much larger than in many other Japanese hotels we have stayed at and the amenities were nice. The staff were helpful for finding restaurants especially on a national holiday when many options were closed.

This place is such a fun and authentic place to stay in Nagano. The rooms are spacious and super cozy, and the older couple that run it are amazing hosts. I would highly recommend staying here over a hotel in the area. Plus it’s close to zenkoji temple which is great to explore at night. Also, make sure to get the Japanese breakfast 👍

The location is great. A few minutes walk from Nagano station. Breakfast view is amazing and the buffet is very good. Douwe Egberts coffee wich made me happy. The room itself is clean, fridge and water cooker available. Bed is very comfortable and good pillows (so important).

Staff is very friendly, courteous, and helpful. The rooms have some almost antique-like radios in them which are tuned to nice stations. The rooms are very quiet. Breakfast has enough variety it is easy to find something you enjoy. I was happy I stayed at Hotel Nagano Avenue.

It is really close to Nagano station and walkable distance from Zenkō-ji temple. Staff is really helpful and speaks english. Cleanliness like a Japanese standard, fully renovated room. Bathroom has a space compare to other Japanese hotel chain (APA).

The Compass was conveniently located near Nagano station. It was very spacious for Japanese apartments and very well appointed. It was spotlessly clean and had useful appliances. I would happily recommend it other travelers.
