Accommodations / Hot Spring Spots in Nagano Area

Wanted to see some proper snow after being deprived of it for a couple years in Tokyo, and certainly got my fix here. Town and countryside were a magical white on arrival, and had some steady snow...

stayed here 2 nights after we did the hike from magome to tsamago, through the preserved villages along the way, great 5 mi. hike. had stayed at the dormy inn in takamatsu so we knew what to expect...

One of the things to do in Nozawa is to have a bath in one of the 13 public onsens dotted around the village. However I prefer the private ones where you can sit down on a bucket seat to shower with...

We spent a day and night here in April just after it opened for the season. With snow still on the ground it was very beautiful. The ryokan itself is comfortable if a little tired in places but the...

This bath is inside a western-style building and it called Bath for Thousand, having big capacity. Japanese feels this atmosphere as Roman-style so it was used for a Japanese movie set featured...

Hands down the best onsen in town. It worth the 40-minute drive from Nagano city. It’s got a very nice outdoor bath, pretty big compared to others. The male bath has some bath beds which are the best...

My parents stayed at the Grand Castle Hotel as part of an international group with a guide travelling from Australia. My mother had a number of personal items stolen from the room after the second...

駒ヶ根インターを降りて、中央アルプス通りを真っ直ぐ進み、アルプス登山口のところにあります。 駐車場も広くて建物も立派です。 大人700円と良心的な価格で、お風呂の他にお土産屋、食事処、休憩スペースがありました。 お風呂は内湯、露天風呂とも無色透明の湯で、やや高温でした。 露天風呂から眺める中央アルプスの山々が心も身体も癒してくれます^_^ 身体もすべすべになり、気持ち良かったです。

The best time to come for a hot spring. It’s not the best our there but this is where the local goes. Facilities are better than I thought. The place is very quiet and chill

The Maguse Onsen was well worth the experience as were the Soba noodles at their cafe. The downside is if one does not have a vehicle you will be taken advantage of by the taxi service which charges...

I have not tried any other onsets so cannot really compare. Its a little onset, not much in English but there are so much information everywhere about the etiquettes of onset which I did not get...

This place got renovated as well. its much cleaner now... it seems like the whole of Hakuba is getting renovated and new shops appearing everywhere... Anyway... I think most the onsen water...

素晴らしいパノラマの露天風呂。泉質はクセのない透明ナトリウム泉質。施設も近代的設備で規模もかなりのもの。清潔でゆっくり、ゆったり入浴出来て快適。The facility is modern and large operation of the restaurant and relaxation space. Very local and the sign is not written in...

This onsen is well run and obviously quite popular with the locals. For each gender, there are 4 inside baths and one rotemburo (outdoors). The inside baths include one with special minerals, a...

This facility was in the Asama hot spring area. It was reccomended as a day onsen. The other day onsen was closed on the day we were in Matsumoto. It can be reached by bus from Matsumoto station with...

I stayed in Tokiwakan on 30 August, 2011. This is my good experience about hot spring. I never on-sen before. It made me feel good and relax. The weather is quite good and make me healthy. I bought a...

Stayed here backed in November 2017 - so apologies for late review - and will go back for a longer stay once we are able to travel again. This is a traditional Japanese Inn (Onsen) and hotel so you...

The temperature is nicely controlled for great enjoyment. When I went there, it was snowing. The outdoor onsen was great as I was sitting in the water and the wind brought snow to my body.

This was my first (and only) onsen visited in Japan but I was very pleased with it. The entrance fee was pretty cheap (500 yen) and it seemed to be a very local spot. Both genders have their own...
