Hot Spring Hotels in Nagano City

Location of hotel is great! It’s very near the station and there are many shops and eateries around. They serve apple juice at the lobby. I hesitated to book because it was more expensive than other the average cost of other Dormy Inns / Onyado(s) I had stayed at. It was also more expensive than multiple other hotels within the vicinity. When we stayed there, it appeared like off peak season with not many patrons but breakfast was packed with people. Staff ushering patrons to tables was most courteous and although she could not speak English, she tried her best to understand our request (for 5 pple to sit together) and did her best to make the arrangements for us. Quality of food here is much better than Onyado Nono Matsumoto. Beef was cooked well. This season, their welcome dessert is a slice of Banana cake which was yummy. Room/amenities are abit dated and if I remember correctly…. The TV in the room doesn’t have Netflix nor YouTube but I could be wrong. If the prices can remain reasonable, I’ll stay there when I revisit Nagano.

I was very lucky to book the last room on Saturday. Although the evaluation on the trip was not high, the evaluation on Google map was excellent and it was better than expected. I had the opportunity to come to Huyin and stay again. Thank you for everyone received by the hotel. It made me have a very pleasant journey.

I used hot springs late at night, but I responded politely at midnight! Since I live in the city, it was the first time for the Yakimochi family to see nebula like the Milky Way with the naked eye, and I was impressed with all my friends who stayed there ...! (The photos taken with an amateur smartphone camera are so much more reflective of nebula ... !!) I saw a signboard of the mountains on the way to the Yakimochiya, so I thought it was a land with the legend of the mountains. However, there was a legendary book of the land and the mountain in the room, and I felt the attitude of cherishing the legend and culture of the region, and I was very impressed by myself who liked legends. When Abu got into the car on my way home and I was in a big panic, I was really grateful that the nice staff found Abu with great insight and drove me out with an electric racket. It was. It was really helpful. I don't usually do much kuchikomi, but I wrote it because it was a very nice inn. I want to go play again. Recommended for those who want to spend a relaxing time in the quiet mountains and see the starry sky that appears in the picture book! Thank you very much!

The hotel looks old and isn't particularly striking from the street. However, the Japanese are incredibly meticulous with cleaning, so it's impeccably clean inside. The location is also super convenient (there's a great ramen place in the next building). You'll even find some retro features, like a two-handle faucet and an old TV – very authentic. My only minor complaint is that I couldn't get the air conditioning to cool, only to heat.

Stayed here several times before, and this visit felt noticeably different. One positive change is that the lounge has been relocated from the lobby to the third floor, making the space feel much more open and comfortable, without guests having to crowd together. However, the shortened meal service times were disappointing. Reducing breakfast hours is understandable, but shortening dinner service by an additional 30 minutes to only 90 minutes made the experience feel rushed. Given the size of the dining area and the number of guests, collecting food itself takes time. More importantly, one of the reasons people choose to visit Nagano is to enjoy a slower and more relaxed atmosphere. With only 90 minutes allocated for dinner, there is hardly enough time to comfortably enjoy the meal itself, let alone finish with coffee and dessert. I understand that rising operating costs may require adjustments, and I appreciate the hotel’s efforts to manage within budget. However, as group tourism increases, maintaining the experience expected by individual travelers becomes increasingly important. Unfortunately, this time it felt that both the dining quality and the dining time had been reduced simultaneously, and the decline in quality was noticeable. Overall, I still appreciate the improvements to the common areas, but I hope the hotel can reconsider how to balance operational efficiency with the quality of the guest experience.

1️⃣ Facilities: The room was surprisingly spacious (though I was a bit tipsy when I checked in, so I'm not entirely sure – maybe I got an upgrade? I don't know). It had a washing machine, an induction cooktop, and a microwave. It was like a whole suite. 2️⃣ Location: It's south of Nagano Station, not too far. I took the JR from Matsumoto to Nagano, and after drinking, I dozed off on the JR platform for half an hour, but still managed to walk to the hotel. 3️⃣ Onsen: I was too drunk to use the hot spring when I checked in. The next morning, I was rushing to get to Togakushi, so I missed out again. Thinking about it now, what a waste! But I did see a sign for the bathhouse in the elevator.
