Excellent stay at this traditional Ryoken

It was a fabulous opportunity to stay at a traditional Ryoken and treated with Japanese hospitality. The location was also perfect and we could walk to the temple any many of the best restaurants which our hosts easily knew! So grateful.

It was a great and affordable ryokan! The couple who own the ryokan was kind and assisted us as much as they could. It was kinda cold but the rooms were heated properly. Overall great stay!

Jennifer Cabreros, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Very old, but cute Ryokan. Highly recommended.

Very nice Ryokan cared for by a cute elderly couple. The place is old and this is noticeable from how it looks. It's not run down by any means, but looks and sounds like it has had a long history. The elderly couple have been a joy, despite the very limited English they know. The bath felt amazing after long days Exploring. The only thing to be aware of are the hard futons. I highly recommend staying here if you want a Ryokan experience in Nagano that doesn't break the bank.
Erik, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Chuoukan Shimizuya Ryokan is a historical building in a convenient location. It is a 10 minute walk to the famous Zenkōji Temple and only 1 minute from the locals' favourite ramen and tonkatsu. However, the highlight of this Ryokan are the hosts. They made every effort to make us feel welcome and comfortable, despite the language barrier. I strongly recommend staying at Chuoukan Shimizuya Ryokan if you value culture and coziness.
Bronte, 6-night trip

8/10 Very good

This seemed like a very traditional, well cared for, old, lodge. Couple who run it are very hospitable with many unique features such as tea service, slippers, large breakfast, linens, hot hand packs provided etc. Cold and dark. Thin walls. Shared washing and toilets.
Jill, 1-night trip

This is the perfect place to stay if you would like to try a traditional ryokan. Everything was amazing and I want to go back here again!
Isabel, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

I stayed for 5 days and it was an outstanding experience in a ryokan. The staff was excellent and the location couldn’t be better. I highly recommend this when in Nagano.
Kenneth, 5-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

My stay at the Ryokan was nothing short of exceptional. The hosts went above and beyond in every way, ensuring that our experience was both comfortable and memorable. From the moment we arrived, they greeted us with warmth and genuine hospitality, making us feel like family. Every detail was thoughtfully taken care of. Highly recommended.

We had three kids with us, and we were treated so well. It was so much fun!
Brooke, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

This Ryokan was perfectly located on the main street in Nagano. This Ryokan is very old, and has very steep stairs. Toilets are located on various floors between main floors. Bath only open 7-9am then again in the evening. Tatami mats were comfortable, and street side views windows were lovely.
Rhian, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Really enjoyed this Ryokan! We were hoping to have a traditional Ryokan experience while in Japan and this was perfect. The couple managing the property were very kind and attentive. The location is also very handy (right on the main street between Nagano station and Zenkoji temple). Highly recommend staying here.

Historic Inn

Historic Inn, truely different experience. Great location, short walk to large temple. 20 plus minute walk to central station and main restaurant area, nice evening walk. Simple, healthy Japanese bfast Would recommend only for those who dont need modern creature comforts.
Sangwan, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

The property is in a good location, very close to Zeno-ji on the main street, and is easily accessible either by a local bus or taxi. The building has an old charm and guests can get some idea of what it was like to live in a traditional Japanese house. The dinner is not offered, but a traditional Japanese breakfast is lovingly prepared and served by the owner’s wife. This ryokan is a nice place to experience some Japanese cultures.

Outstanding Ryokan. Thankyou

Outstanding. What a wonderful Ryokan to stay in. All reviews about the lovely couple who own and run the place are true. They are truly kind and attentive. Comfortable and cozy. It has been a very special moment on our Japan travels. Thankyou so much
Richard, 2-night trip

2/10 Poor

3 weeks before traveling to Nagano, we suffer a great loss from my father passing away. We wrote to this ryokan to cancel or change the dates. None of this options were avaliable and they didn't respond. We also call by telephone and a really rude and unpolite guy answer and didn't gave us any option or alternative dates to book with them. Terrible.
