Ryokan holiday rentals in Nagano

I had a lovely stay at Kamesei Ryoken. Thank you Tyler and Mari!

A rural retreat, off the tourist path, but easily accessible by train from Tokyo. We were keen for some rural Japan after quite a few stops in urban centres. The house is in a quiet, unspoilt setting. You can do short walks from the house that can include views of Mount Fuji down the valley. There's other places you can pop into too, such as the Owl Cafe or the wonderful deli/shop at the petrol station up the road. The house itself has kept its rustic and traditional appearance and features, while also having very functional equipment, from Wifi to everything you'd need for cooking. Some great places to read and relax in, from the garden to by the wood burner. We did not have car which was fine - it's just 6 minutes by taxi from the station, but a car would allow you to explore further afield. Ryo the host was very helpful with answering questions rapidly and clearly. I would highly recommend!

Very kind and clean! Beautiful surroundings! Thank you

We loved our stay in a family room. We used the private onsen every day and used the public onsen once, both were amazing. The staff were very friendly and helpful and we felt right at home. I loved the futons, the most comfortable bed since being in Japan. Plenty of parking, nice warm room. Would highly recommend

I have been travelling around the world for over 3 months now and Misa is my favourite person I have met. She was the sweetest, so warm and friendly. Her and her husband were very hospitable. Miwa’s house was a delight, the beds were very comfortable and we had everything we needed. We had delicious food at coffee katana and Okuya too. Thank you so much Misa for making our trip to Japan extra special. Highly recommend staying here!

Quiet and peaceful location that’s close to Nakagomi station, the convenience store, and many small local shops. The family living there is quick to help if you need it. If you’re looking for a place to crash at night and cook in the morning and don’t mind the faint smell of tobacco smoke, would recommend in a heartbeat.

Very nice and comfortable room, buses come only 3 times a day but if you plan around them it can lead to the best private and relaxing place to stay

Am amazing traditional ryokan experience. Right next door to one of the 9 onsens. Beautiful tradition tatami room with onsen bath house - shared but had a private available. Loved staying here. Heaps of useful maps and advice on the local restaurants and onsens! Would recommend this stay!! Fantastic hosts

Very kind and clean! Beautiful surroundings! Thank you

Guesthouse Yanagiya and the surrounding village is even more charming than the photos can express. Yukie is a very caring host, and she has created a space that invites its guests to interact in a comfortable setting. Rooms are simple, yet clean. The location is great for a relaxing getaway, and is about 1-1.5 hours ride via train to the Magome/Tsumago Nakasendo trail. While that trail is indeed worth the effort to travel to, Iwamura and the castle ruins are very beautiful, quaint, and way less busy than the Nakasendo trail. In the future, I would love to return!

Thank you for a wonderful stay! Your place was clean, comfortable, and exactly as described. We truly appreciated the thoughtful touches and the effort you put into making guests feel welcome. It made our trip all the more enjoyable. Wishing you all the best, and we hope to stay here again in the future!

I stayed here for 7 nights for and it was a very special white Christmas! Seongmi and Yoshi are really nice hosts, and made sure I was comfortable. It was so nice getting to know them and having breakfast every morning with other guests, who were also really nice. Seongmi cooked us all a delicious Korean pancake dinner and Yoshi served on Christmas. Amazing experience. The room and over all house was super cozy. I enjoyed reading and writing in the office room space. My room had shared a bathroom and shower, but no one ever used it the same time as I did so it was as if I had it to myself. It was perfect amount of privacy but also social getting to know other lovely guests there. They have connections with onsens nearby which I highly recommend. The hosts were also very helpful with arranging my heavy luggage to be delivered to my next location so I didn’t have to worry about it traveling to my next destination. It really felt like home and I will be back!

We love the stay! Very kind and helpful host. We rent snow clothes for a good price. Definitely indicated! The Hostel is very beautiful.

Shintaro was a very friendly person.He explained the house and amenities in detail, and I was able to spend my time without any inconvenience. It was filled just by looking at the lovely garden. They also prepared homemade bread and blueberry jam for breakfast, which was very delicious. It was a very satisfying stay.

Our stay at Abiya was very pleasant. We have met people from around the world, even a couple from Belgium where I have profound youth memories. Yoshi and Seongmin are excellent hosts who treated guests like family and looking constantly at our well being. It is definitely the place I will go back. Thanks Yoshi and Seongmin again and take care!

Amazing place to stay. The rooms are warm and cozy, with windows that let in sun and can be opened on warm days. The onsen was very relaxing and clean. Hosts were amazingly welcoming and helpful. Really felt taken care of and they looked out for us. Not too many things to do directly around the ryokan, however that was perfectly fine for us and we spent most of our time comfortably in our room
