We had a brilliant time on the tour. Taketo was a fantastic tour guide who was knowledgeable, engaging and spoke great English. He really made the day for us. The monkey park and vineyard were highlights of the day although all the locations we visited were stunning. I would absolutely recommend this tour to any other visitors!

Carp did a great job being a guide for this day tour I went on. She is interactive and knowledgeable. However, at the beginning it was a bit of a shaky start regarding of the free admission to the monkey park of the tour when we were advised that it wasn't included and there were few people queried it. But Carp was professional handling it, contacted the head office and 100% confirmed this tour includes free admission to the park. Other than that the tour went pretty well. For those who want to take part of this tour, bring your own lunch or snacks before the tour due to tight schedule and you can eat it on the bus. Be prepared to do lots of walking but you will enjoy it in the end.

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.

Excellent hotel for a stay in Nagano. It's close to the station and offers many free services, including ramen in the evening, laundry, and of course, an onsen.

We stayed here with plans to visit Togakushi Shrine. While it's a short drive to Togakushi Shrine, the hotel's location in Nagano City made it easily accessible and very convenient for sightseeing.
The hotel's parking lot was full, so we used a nearby affiliated parking lot. It was closer than we expected and didn't feel like an inconvenience at all.
The staff at check-in were courteous, and the room was well-equipped with amenities like toner and lotion sets, as well as coffee and tea. The room was clean and comfortable. Two complimentary bottles of water were provided, but since the coffee was made using bottled water, one bottle was used for that, leaving us feeling a bit short on drinking water.
However, the hotel also has vending machines for drinks and a coin laundry on the first floor, which seems convenient for longer stays.
Zenko-ji Temple felt a bit far to walk to, so we drove, but it was very close by car and convenient for sightseeing.
Despite the affordable price, the room was spacious, allowing us to relax comfortably. We are very satisfied with our stay.

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.

I had been looking forward to staying at this dessert-themed hotel, so for this trip to Eastern Japan, I specifically planned a two-night stay in Nagano. In addition to daily afternoon tea and all-you-can-eat ice cream, there is also a large public bath, and the hotel rooms are very spacious.
