Shimotakai District Hotels with Bars

The room was very comfortable and clean, and the bedding was great. The refrigerator has free drinks juice and beer, and it is free to fill up every day. The private soup in the villa is also very good, very comfortable and private. We booked breakfast and have Japanese and Western options (not buffet form). The location of the villa is convenient, just a few minutes walk from Hell Valley Park, and 2 minutes from the bus stop. It is very convenient to go skiing in the snow field. In short, it is a very good hotel. If money is not a problem, it is highly recommended. If the only drawback is that if you play other places in Nagano, you need to have a transportation to Nagano and then continue. We chose the bus, about 1 hour to Nagano. In addition, if you take the electric rail to Yudanzhong Station, it is a bit awkward to get off the bus. After asking for a long time, I realized that there is a small house opposite the station that can dispatch a taxi, 3.5 kilometers, 1700 yen. I have already suggested to the hotel that I should leave the hotel mailbox for better communication. At present, the platform provides Japanese phone calls. Who will call the international long-distance and ask how to get there? I don't know, I didn't call, because even if the hotel tells you, you are also confused and do not know what to do.

Just wanna share my experience of staying in this beautiful hotel. 1- The location and the views from the hotel are just amazing! Especially during sunsets! 2- The personal and stuff of the hotel are super super friendly, if I could I would give 10 stars for the hospitality. 3- Onsens and the view are something out from this world 4- What I was really amazed is the kitchen and the chef that is cooking. If you stay in this hotel I highly recommend take the breakfast and dinners. You will have a high class food with a presentation and explanation of each dish by the servant. Best experience 5- Last but not the least I forgot my speaker in the hotel. The stuff brought it back the same day to me to another hotel I moved after NISHIHOPPO. So guys, less words more actions! 10 stars to this amazing hotel and it’s owner. My respect.

This hotel was excellent in all aspects: value for money, location, service, and cleanliness. Nozawa Onsen has many outdoor baths, so all you need is a place to stay with a clean and comfortable shower. I would recommend this hotel not only to Japanese people but also to foreign tourists.

Excellent Ryokan located in the center of Shibu Onsen, right at the bus stop. The hotel is very typical and traditional, run by the Takimoto family. The private Onsen are excellent and very well maintained. Everything perfect, top welcome and services! We went during the winter with snow and we did not suffer from the cold inside the rooms. Very good and very rich dinner!

Mostly good experience. The staff was super friendly and accommodating. The French restaurant was delicious. And it was great that there was a ski rental and storage right inside the hotel. Added to that, the convenience of skiing right to the lift is heavenly. The bar/ lounge was chill and cozy. However it either seemed there was a shortage of staff, mostly new staff, or both. The mandatory dinner reservations were very restrictive even though when getting there at the reserved time, the restaurant was half empty. And most frustrating was that there was no options for getting any type of food after 8:30. So if you get hungry after that time or want a snack, you better pre buy one of the 3 options of instant noodles from the lobby store (before it closes also).

The room is very good, very close to the ski resort, and there is a small restaurant where it is convenient to eat, but there are no shopping malls and convenience stores around.

Staff super helpful and friendly Could supply more drinking water and waste basket

More traditional Japanese-style hotel, dinner is eaten at the izakaya opposite, there are packages and a la carte to choose from, OK, relatively quiet, breakfast is simple, there is bread coffee juice, if you can be rich, it is better

Convenient skiing, comfortable hot spring
