Tateshina Shinyu Onsen

"The snowy hot spring view was beautiful, and the hotel food was delicious and very healthy, great for digestion. They have private onsen baths that you can reserve for solo use, but you can only book them after check-in. So, I'd recommend arriving a bit earlier to secure a better time slot. We arrived closer to 8 PM, which was a bit late, and all the private baths for that evening were booked. We could only reserve one for the next morning. There's also a public lounge area."

"Reasonably priced, 8,800 yen including two meals. It's not exactly frugal, but the meals are a set course and they serve hot food. The rooms are clean, and there are no trash cans, so you have to take your trash home with you. Above all, it's great that you can use the hot springs 24 hours a day. Make sure to listen carefully to the instructions on how to use the bath. 😆 Amenities include bath towels, which are 300 yen to rent, and face towels and toothbrushes, which you can request and check if they're free. Is it worth it for that price? The owner is friendly."

"The environment is very beautiful, and you can have breakfast facing the lake view. The store owner is friendly. The only thing is that you have to climb stairs to the second floor room, so it is suitable for light luggage."

"There are several ski resorts near the hotel, one of which has a children's playground, making it perfect for family road trips."

"There was a slight accident, and I apologize for any inconvenience caused. The hot springs were great, the food was delicious, and it was reasonably priced! It was wonderful. The owners were also very kind, which I appreciated. I will definitely stay here again."

Yama No Yado Meiji Onsen

"My GF's review: My stay in Meiji Onsen Ryokan was my first stay at a ryokan, and I’ve never felt more welcome at any other hospitality place I’ve been to before, of which there are many. And even after the first day, I am pretty sure it will probably stay this way forever. I am very grateful for your kind welcome and I am amazed at the work that the team of your hotel does at this place. Everything feels natural and beautiful, and the atmosphere is so peaceful and special. People who work here are passionate about their job, and as a passionate person myself I feel energized and happy to see others be so amused about what they do. I will always remember my first stay here and I will compare other ryokans I go to with Meiji Onsen Ryokan, because I feel that it’s the best ryokan in Japan. Thank you so much for this amazing experience. And Okami-chan is the best girl in all of Nagano! When I come back home, I will tell everyone who she is and where she is from - Meiji Onsen Ryokan, Chino, Nagano, Japan! 🇯🇵 (As a fantastic bonus, it’s even allowed to go in with uncovered tattoos! Not every ryokan can match up to that!)"

"The location is great and the food was delicious. I highly recommend this hotel for people who like Japanese food. The dining area is partitioned off like a semi-private room, so you can dine in peace. You can use the open-air bath for free for 40 minutes. There is a sunken kotatsu table in the room."
