On the left side after u exit the ticket gates in Nagano Station, u can see the hotel immediately upon exiting because it is just across the street. Check in was fast, the staff were friendly & the amenities are available in the lobby. The room size is not too big but I liked the complimentary soap and shampoo, they felt great on the skin & hair. What makes this place unique is the contrast between the two sides of the station. The East Exit side where the hotel is located is much quieter at night, many houses dimming their lights early. On the other hand, the Zenkoji Exit side (the right side of the gate) is very lively and glamorous. The city feels like it has two completely different faces! I am very pleased with the easy access to the train station and the bus terminal. From here, you can easily take a bus to the Alpine Route, Hakuba, Kamikochi, or Jigokudani Monkey Park. Zenkoji Temple is also close by, about a 15-minute walk. The nearest coin laundry is a little over 1 km away.

The location is excellent, with direct access to Nagano Station and the Midori shopping center. The rooms are spacious and clean. The staff are helpful and friendly. It's convenient for transportation, shopping, and dining. There's direct access to Nagano Station, the bus terminal, and the Midori shopping center. It's also close to Zenkoji Temple and the Togakushi bus stop, as well as Don Quijote and various restaurants.

The room isn't large, but the service and meals more than make up for the space. There's a 24-hour supermarket nearby, and the fridge is stocked with beer, apple juice, and green tea. The breakfast is especially delicious, featuring local Nagano dishes, fresh fruits and vegetables, and excellent bread.

This is an excellent way to experience an authentic Japanese Ryokan. The twisting hallways, the spacious tatami mat rooms, the delicious breakfast, the onsen, and the kind elderly couple who run the whole place come together to make a homey and relaxing stay. It’s quite close to Zenkōji temple and along the main strip of shops making it an excellent location. If you are looking for a Ryokan in Nagano, I fully recommend this one.

This one is quite close to the JR station and bus terminal. Room is a bit small so mind the luggage.

We stayed on other branches of Toyoko Inn before but this one was by far the best for us because of the much bigger space. We used to fit on a double or queen bed but now that our son is considered an adult on the occupancy count, we were required two or three beds. We got a triple sharing room so there's enough space for our luggages and space to move around. There is even a sofa and a ref. There are windows with a view. We loved looking out on it in the morning. Their buffet breakfast was also a plus. Just enough to fuel and jumpstart your day. The window view on their dining room in the morning was just lovely. You can watch the sunrise there while eating your breakfast. There's an ice machine and vendo plus washing machines so you can do your laundry. The staff were always nice. Just don't forget to check out on time because they will surely charge you for the extension. Location is a few meters to the JR Nagano station and near a park. The Christmas market was there last December.

What to know before visiting Nagano

Quick snapshot of Nagano and what to do

Nagano draws most bookings for Tours and outdoor & sports activities, and demand swings strongly through the year. February is the busiest month while late summer sees the lightest demand, so the city’s rhythm alternates between a winter peak and quieter summer months. Activities range from guided tours to outdoor adventures, reflecting that seasonal pattern.

When to visit and how prices behave

According to Klook booking data, demand peaks in February and bottoms out in August. Prices move differently from demand: they are typically highest in July and usually lowest in April, with moderate levels through late autumn and winter. For lower prices and smaller crowds, aim for April or the quieter months around June and October; for peak-season atmosphere and the busiest winter activity period, visit in February. Note that demand and price diverge here — the busiest month (February) is not the priciest, and the priciest month (July) arrives during relatively low demand.

Tips for travellers from Hong Kong

Most travellers book about ten days in advance on average, with many bookings completed as early as three weeks out and some last-minute options available a couple of days before. If you’re planning a short trip from Hong Kong, you can be flexible and book closer to travel for off-peak months, but consider confirming key tours or outdoor activities earlier for travel in February. Use Klook to compare timing and options so you can lock in the experiences that suit your schedule.
