Hotels near Saishoin Temple, Nagano City

The ryokan is situated just a few minutes’ walk from Chusha Daimon bus stop and Kuzuryusha Shrine—an ideal location for us as we stayed for two nights and focused on visiting the five shrines and nearby local shops. The ryokan is clean, and the staff are extremely friendly and warm. A few staff members speak basic English, which was helpful. The kaiseki breakfast and dinner were delicious—be sure to arrive with an empty stomach so you can fully enjoy the many courses and variety of dishes. The onsen is cozy and relaxing. Yukata are provided, and the amenities are well stocked, making the stay very comfortable. Nearby, there is a soba noodle shop where we enjoyed a hearty meal and even ordered dessert multiple times while waiting for the snowfall to ease before continuing our shrine walk. Right next to the soba shop is a souvenir store where you can pick up a few mementos to bring home. There is also a shuttle bus available within the Togakushi area, but my brother and I chose to walk while visiting all five shrines, which was a wonderful experience. A truly lovely place to stay. Highly recommended.

near JR station, the public bath and the lounge were good, the room got a microwave which was quite impressive

Located about 20 minutes from JR Nagano Station, this hotel was a great choice for our trip, especially since we were driving. The highlight was the stunning mountain view from our room, stretching from sunrise to sunset—a beautiful and unexpected surprise. The hotel lobby feels high-class, but the rooms do show signs of age, with a dated interior. However, the onsen experience more than made up for it—spacious, relaxing, and the outdoor onsen offered an incredible view of the ice-covered mountains. A major highlight was the exceptional service. We encountered an issue with our luggage delivery, and three hotel staff members went above and beyond, patiently assisting us and coordinating with another hotel to ensure everything was sorted. Their kindness and dedication truly left a lasting impression. Overall, despite some aging aspects, I’d highly recommend this hotel and would definitely return on my next visit.

amazing hotel, very near to the train station just need to cross the bridge. there is a convenience store with atm just one minute away from the hotel (in between the station and the hotel). good location and friendly staff. free luggage storage provided as well.

Nice location with old fashion Ryokan hotel in Nagano. Business runs by 2 old people with warm welcome. It's share bathroom And they have onsen (small) avaliable for your stay.

Our family with three generations very much enjoyed the food, bath, and hospitality at Yakuoin. We have very little Japanese, but felt welcome and had an English speaking guide for the morning service and tour at Zenkoji Temple.

It was a good experience. They have a big space. Towels not provided. But from night 10 to morning 10 free cold drink, tea, coffee, water and hot water provided.

Great location. Even though hotel is not as new compared to surrounding ones, it maintains its cleanliness and we are satisfied during our stay.

The food was very good. The staff was good. The rooms were clean and tidy. The bathroom and toilets were clean and tidy. Happy with overall experience.

Had a great stay at hotel abest. The hotel is directly opposite Nagano station, making it very convenient and easy to get around. The hotel staff are friendly and helpful. Highly recommend
