Ryokan holiday rentals in Nagano

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!

The perfect place for a winter ski and onsen adventure

We really enjoyed our stay with Miwa. Her son was responsive to messages, especially useful when we organised to have our bags forwarded and to change our plans slightly due to bad weather. When we arrived, Miwa gave us a warm welcome and took us on a a tour of the place. It was spotless clean and has a nice warm shower. As described, it is a traditional home, so perfect if you want to experience sleeping on a futon atop tatami mats. We visited the area to walk the Nakasendo Trail but on this particular day the weather was very wet and so we decided to rest for the day instead. The village on a Sunday is very quiet and many of the restaurants shut up shop early. Given the situation, Miwa took pity on us and brought us some lovely baked goods. We were made to feel very welcome and would recommend a stay here for anyone visiting the area.

Definitely recommend if you wanna stay close to the Snow Monkey Park as it’s only an hour walk! Great place with amenities & also provides a public & private onsen!

This is an amazing place to relax.

Beautiful house and clean. Recommend👍

It was super nice. The two hosts were extremely helpful! We felt super comfortable and visited one of the onsen in the neighborhood. The location is great - it is quiet and you can walk directly to Snow Monkey Park (about 1.5 hours) or take the bus. There are many small restaurants and bars near. We would definitely come back.

Staying at Tomi for a few days was an absolute highlight of my trip to Japan. I loved everything — the breakfast, our shared dinner (so many new things for me!), the stunning landscapes, and the incredible nearby onsens. Thank you so much for your warm hospitality. Sending a warm hello to Number 5 — staying with you felt like a dream!

This is a great place to stay - Yukie-san was very helpful and kind and the location is perfect for walking, cycling and exploring. There's a great place to eat (and drink!) called Tono just around the corner too! The former dying workshop has been very well restored as accommodation. There are e-bikes available to rent for a very nominal fee too. I hope to come again.

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!

A place where you can slow down…the space was warm, cozy, clean and friendly . The area was small and yet vast with mountains all around and apple orchards for days. This place makes you feel alive and yet so quiet and peaceful. Thank you for the stay and all the wealth of knowledge and care for making my stay feel like home :) I will be back again :) and recommend to those who want to slow down :)

Great beautiful traditional place. Nice location if you came with a car.
