"It was a wonderful starry sky. I watched it for a while with the telescope I brought to the parking lot. But it was cold and I took a telescope to my room and enjoyed the starry sky from the veranda until late at night."

"A great location for star gazing. We originally planned to go to Achi Village Sky Park to watch the stars, but on the way to the hotel we found that this place is more suitable for star watching. There is no light pollution, and we can see many more stars than usual, and some small stars can also be seen. There is a lake outside the hotel, and there are net beds, chairs, an observatory, etc. around the lake; this is a hotel, but there are also camping sites for rent outside. You can also enjoy fireworks nearby at night. A very good environment, but the curfew at 10pm is too early... The room is large and the sleep is very comfortable. Dried fruit snacks are provided and you can take a bath until 10pm in the evening."

"it has been a great onsen experience as it's got several pools to choose from. A variety of food choices during dinner and breakfast. Even got 4 types of crab legs! The staff are helpful and friendly. They even offered to walk us to the car with an umbrella as it was raining. located beside the river with a beautiful view to offer. A lovely walk along the river. The morning market is right outside the hotel."

"📍 Hotel Keigetsu 信州昼神温泉郷 日長庵 桂月 @ Hirugami Onsen, Nagano 🇯🇵 We stayed 3D2N from 13 November 2025 at Hotel Keigetsu (日長庵 桂月), and it turned out to be one of the best choices for our Nakasendo trip. The ryokan sits in a peaceful corner of Hirugami Onsen, surrounded by nature and traditional Japanese charm. There is a designated parking area exclusively for guests, accommodating around 15-20 cars of all sizes, making it very convenient for self-drive travellers. We chose a Japanese-style room with a private bathroom, and the highlight was the beautiful wooden bathtub — perfect for a relaxing soak in complete privacy. In the mornings, the view from our room was calm and peaceful, with gentle bird chirping adding to the serene atmosphere. Our stay included breakfast and dinner, and both meals were exceptional. Each dish was beautifully prepared using seasonal ingredients, and the servers were patient and friendly, taking time to explain each course and share stories about local flavours. Their warm hospitality truly enhanced the dining experience. The ryokan is within walking distance to the Morning Market, just about 10 minutes away, making it an enjoyable little morning stroll. There is also a FamilyMart right beside the ryokan, just a short walk away — extremely convenient for drinks, snacks, or last-minute essentials during your stay. The staff also introduced several nearby activities and hiking trails, and the routes are super visitor-friendly, making this ryokan an ideal base for exploring the Nakasendo area. The onsen baths were another highlight — soothing, clean, and filled with Hirugami’s famously smooth, skin-friendly hot spring water. Perfect for unwinding every evening. Overall, Hotel Keigetsu offers excellent food, warm service, relaxing onsen, comfortable rooms, and unbeatable convenience, whether you’re here for onsen relaxation or the Nakasendo trail. Highly recommended for a peaceful, authentic, and memorable ryokan stay in Nagano. ♨️🍁🌿✨"

"I visited in mid-November, so there were no flowers blooming in the surrounding area, but there are peach blossom trees planted around the hotel, making it a wonderful location in April when the flowers bloom. The rooms are clean and the views from the rooms are great, a treat for the eyes. Next time, I'd like to stay in early April when the flowers are in bloom."

"An antique hot spring hotel, the room is large enough clean, hot spring pool is very comfortable, but the hotel has no facilities, and breakfast is general, nearby convenience stores and supermarkets are not, we did not eat dinner in the hotel, breakfast is relatively simple semi-buffet form, just want to be in the room"

Oyado Sansui ★★★
"A successful two-night stay in a serene atmosphere. The inn is very pleasant with beautiful gardens and several baths. We had a room on the ground floor with a large private bath (wooden bathtub): it was very nice. Meals are served in a private room with a person looking after you. We don't speak Japanese but with the telephone translation system, we were able to discuss the dishes. It was a complete dinner with lots of discoveries. There was a party in the village and the reception gave us raffle tickets to participate. Unfortunately the sky was overcast and we didn't see the stars."

"My husband and I are enjoying staying at a hot spring inn. This time, we stayed at Esan-san, a 5-star inn. The first thing I noticed was that all the staff were young. Recently, hot spring inns are often staffed by older people and foreign trainees, but it's rare to see an inn with so many people working so hard to serve customers, so I hope they will try harder. The old inn itself seems to be in the process of being renovated. The hot spring and the room were clean and nice. For meals, we had food cooked by the hearth in a private room, but it was a bit unsettling because we had to grill it ourselves, and it was a bit disappointing that there was no rice. Rice is better than oyaki. If I visit again next time, I would like to have a kaiseki meal. For breakfast, I had a second helping of rice and it was delicious. I thought it was good for the price. There was no welcoming or seeing off, which felt a bit lonely, but it might be okay since you don't have to worry about anything."

"A super nice hotel. The proprietress will hold a mini concert. I actually heard a strange grace. It's so beautiful. You can see the sky full of stars when you lie down in the hot spring. The food is also very delicious. I will definitely go back! !"
