Hoteles de 3 estrellas en Prefectura de Nagano, Japón

Highly surprised with thjs room! So spacious and well-equipped with amenities! Parking is also available although one has to walk abit as it is behind the hotel. There are 2 TV’s and 1 remote so will need to toggle left and right. Bed is good although pillow can be more firm in my own opinion. With mountain view and waking up to sunrise, what a way to wake up. We didn’t have breakfast so we wouldn’t know about the variety. There’s a convenience store just a few blocks down. Overall, we enjoyed out stay here in Hotel JAL - specifically this room :D

Espero que el hotel pueda cancelar el modo ecológico del aire acondicionado, ya que afecta mi sueño. Pero en general, la limpieza y el servicio son buenos, ¡gracias!

Después de pasar una semana en Yokohama, Japón, durante el Año Nuevo chino, decidimos ir a Yudanaka, Nagano, para disfrutar de las aguas termales y ver a los famosos monos del onsen. Para ello, elegimos alojarnos en Kanaguya. Durante el día, Kanaguya no destaca en el pueblo de Yudanaka; parece un lugar bastante normal. Sin embargo, por la noche, se transforma por completo. Se rumorea en internet que fue la inspiración para la casa de baños de ”El viaje de Chihiro”, y la verdad es que encaja a la perfección. Se cuenta que este ryokan tiene más de 250 años de antigüedad y está construido íntegramente en madera. Su interior es un laberinto de pasillos, escaleras y rincones, lleno de encanto y sorpresas. Alberga varias piscinas termales propias, pero lo más destacado es el onsen exterior de la azotea. ¡Qué experiencia tan sublime y embriagadora es sentir la nieve caer copiosamente mientras te relajas en sus cálidas aguas! El ryokan te proporciona una ficha con la que puedes acceder a cualquiera de las piscinas termales del pueblo; ¡hay tantas opciones que te sentirás abrumado/a! La experiencia de pasear por las calles con tu albornoz y zuecos de madera (geta) te transporta a otra época. Este paisaje, esta atmósfera, este estado de ánimo... ¿no es acaso como un cuento de hadas que cobra vida? Yudanaka es una visita obligada, alojarse en Kanaguya es imprescindible, y ver a los monos en el onsen es algo que no te puedes perder.

📍 Hotel Keigetsu 信州昼神温泉郷 日長庵 桂月 @ Hirugami Onsen, Nagano 🇯🇵 We stayed 3D2N from 13 November 2025 at Hotel Keigetsu (日長庵 桂月), and it turned out to be one of the best choices for our Nakasendo trip. The ryokan sits in a peaceful corner of Hirugami Onsen, surrounded by nature and traditional Japanese charm. There is a designated parking area exclusively for guests, accommodating around 15-20 cars of all sizes, making it very convenient for self-drive travellers. We chose a Japanese-style room with a private bathroom, and the highlight was the beautiful wooden bathtub — perfect for a relaxing soak in complete privacy. In the mornings, the view from our room was calm and peaceful, with gentle bird chirping adding to the serene atmosphere. Our stay included breakfast and dinner, and both meals were exceptional. Each dish was beautifully prepared using seasonal ingredients, and the servers were patient and friendly, taking time to explain each course and share stories about local flavours. Their warm hospitality truly enhanced the dining experience. The ryokan is within walking distance to the Morning Market, just about 10 minutes away, making it an enjoyable little morning stroll. There is also a FamilyMart right beside the ryokan, just a short walk away — extremely convenient for drinks, snacks, or last-minute essentials during your stay. The staff also introduced several nearby activities and hiking trails, and the routes are super visitor-friendly, making this ryokan an ideal base for exploring the Nakasendo area. The onsen baths were another highlight — soothing, clean, and filled with Hirugami’s famously smooth, skin-friendly hot spring water. Perfect for unwinding every evening. Overall, Hotel Keigetsu offers excellent food, warm service, relaxing onsen, comfortable rooms, and unbeatable convenience, whether you’re here for onsen relaxation or the Nakasendo trail. Highly recommended for a peaceful, authentic, and memorable ryokan stay in Nagano. ♨️🍁🌿✨

滑雪方便，温泉舒服

La habitación era espaciosa y la ubicación excelente, a solo tres minutos a pie de la estación. Había supermercados y tiendas de conveniencia cerca de la estación, y muchos restaurantes en los alrededores. Las comodidades eran variadas y útiles, y el desayuno era abundante. ¡Sin duda me alojaría aquí de nuevo!

The room was very large and comfortable. What made the place great was the ping pong table, mini pool table. Once you understand the onsen process it is pretty easy. Note: restaurant is by reservation only. Dinner snow crab dinner is worth the price. Open bar. Also cash only needed do the hotel tax due at arrival.

Es como vivir en una casa cómoda, muy cómoda. Puedo sentir la riqueza de la naturaleza, tranquilo y relajado por las ventanas.

White Hotel Grand Hakuba is located up in the mountains, about a 30-minute drive from the main town area (Hakuba Station / Happo Bus Terminal). This is perfect for those who, like me, prefer a peaceful and more secluded environment. The hotel provides a daily shuttle service between the hotel, Hakuba Station, and Lion Café, which is conveniently located next to Happo Bus Terminal. There’s no need to worry about being “stuck” in the mountains—just remember to reserve your shuttle seats in advance. The room interiors and the surrounding scenery are beautiful—words can’t fully describe it; it’s something you really have to experience for yourself. One of the biggest highlights is the ski-in, ski-out convenience. You can start skiing or snowboarding right outside the hotel. I chose this location mainly for its easy access to snowboarding, as we were beginners and wanted a less crowded place to learn. The view from the top of the slope was magnificent—you could even see the lake. The staff are very friendly, helpful, and warm. There are several English-speaking staff members, both Japanese and non-Japanese, which made communication easy. We had both breakfast and dinner at the in-house restaurant, and the meals were good and satisfying. The onsen is free to use in the morning. In the evening, it is available for private use at an additional charge, which I felt was well worth it. Overall, I would definitely come back again. Highly recommended.

I stayed at Hotel Marroad Karuizawa, which is about a 12-minute walk from Karuizawa Station. The surrounding area is very quiet and peaceful. The lobby has a charming retro Showa-era vibe, and the hotel is a two-story building. The room was spacious, comfortable, and very quiet. The Japanese-style futon mattress was thick and extremely comfortable, while the Western-style bed had a good balance of softness and firmness. The room amenities were well provided, and the hotel staff were very friendly. There is also a shuttle service to the ski resort and the station, which was very convenient. Although the hotel is a bit far from Ginza Street and nearby convenience stores, taking a taxi only takes about five minutes, so getting around was still quite easy. That said, there are a few minor drawbacks: 1️⃣ There is no elevator, escalator, or ramp from the entrance to the front desk, which makes carrying luggage inconvenient. Many guests have mentioned this issue. 2️⃣ The sink has separate hot and cold water taps instead of a single mixer tap, which feels a bit outdated and less convenient. 3️⃣ The air conditioner is relatively loud. Even in sleep mode, it turns on and off automatically, which can be a bit annoying at night. 4️⃣ The hotel uses traditional keys instead of key cards, and you need to leave the key at the front desk when you go out. That said, this also adds to the nostalgic atmosphere of the hotel and fits well with its retro style.
