Things to do in Nagano Prefecture
1. Nozaru Hostel
Overall Ratings
3.5 based on 44 reviews
~ From Tokyo or Osaka: Take a train (Shinkansen) or bus (Willer,...) to Nagano City, from there get on the train heading to Yudanaka and stop at Yudanaka Station. ~ From there, take the bus for Kanbayashi or Shigakogen from Yudanaka station (Nagano dentetsu line) and get off at Shibuwagobashi bus stop (about 7min). The bus stop is located in front of the bridge (Shibuwagobashi) along the Yokoyu river. The hostel is just 2 minutes walk away at this point. Walk up the stream a little, take the first left (just opposite to the bridge), go straight and turn right at the second corner, from there walk straight up and you will see Nozaru hostel (four-storied building: the old name is Komatsuya-ryokan) just before the Onsen temple.
CHEAPEST IN TOWN. NICE HOOD. BIG ROOMS. ONSEN INCLUDED. "CLOSE" TO THE MONKEYS.
Reviewed By ExithamsterWe booked Nozaru Hostel because it was the cheapest (around 40€) in the area AND one of the closest stays to the Snow Monkeys. Which doesn't mean next door. You still either need to walk 45 mins or take a bus and walk 25 mins to reach the entrance of the park. The bus (no.1) ride from the station to Nozaru Hostel takes about 7 minutes and leaves once or twice an hour. You get off at Shibuwagobashi Station and walk 4 mins to the hostel. It is quite a big building with 4 or 5 floors. The overall impression is a bit worn down and with some more dedication you could create a really nice hostel. They have an onsen on the ground floor which is used for the shower as well though it was not very busy. Our room was in the 4th floor and we had a nice view. Unfortunately you couldn't open the windows - they were taped. What we really didn't enjoy so much was the cold temperatures inside the room - especially when you have to turn the heater on every 5 minutes. The Japanese style sleep on the futon was fine though - covered in duvets. And one very positive aspect: It was spacious! Enough space for luggage and chill out sessions on the matress. The receptionist lady who seemed to be the owner spoke very good English and was helpful with everything we needed. It is just a pity that they don't put more effort into this place as it is perfectly located in the onsen street. We are not picky but in this case it is hard to rate "very good" or "excellent".

Totally recommend
Reviewed By leob258This ryokan style hotel has been recently refurbished. Its warm, comfortable and the staff are super friendly. You have ti walk up the mountain a bit to get to it, but it such a practical location to stay at, you are closer to the yu road. The ogawa open air hot spring is near by, restaurants close. Bars down the hill a bit and free parking. Id recommend the room 203, one of the larger rooms, with tv, toilet ,plenty of room up to 6 or 7 people to sleep on mattresses. And the view is spectacular. This hotel does have drying room for gear, and plenty of room to leave gear.restaurant is excellent for dinner and breakfast. The hotel is on 3 or 4 floors, with no lift. Staff are top

A great example of Japanese hospitality
Reviewed By MonikaSuryadiFirst of all let's get this out of the way, if you are not comfortable staying at a place where there are very little (if any) English spoken/written, then this place is not for you. But if you are the adventurous type and love the local culture, you might want to check this place out for your next visit to Nagano countryside. The accommodation is your standard family-run hotel, with spacious tatami rooms and excellent Japanese-style meal/breakfast. It is within a walking distance from the Togakushi-Chusha shrine, and the Ninja Village is practically the next door neighbour. What makes it truly special is the level of hospitality (which is actually quite common in small towns of Japan). Despite the owner of Minshuku Rindo not speaking any English (nor can we speak Japanese), he straight away called the Ninja Village to check if it was open when we asked about the place (it's not, because it was snowing so heavily). But most impressively is during check-out he saw that we almost missed the morning bus back to the city, so he offered to drive us to the bus stop and before we even realised what he was trying to say, he already got his car out of the driveway! Needless to say we were so grateful and amazed by this level of hospitality because it is definitely not something he had to do as a hotel owner. Granted, Minshuku Rindo is probably not the first choice accommodation especially if you are a foreign tourist like myself (there's very little English info hence I'm writing this review), but you would not be disapppointed.

wonderful minshuku run by great couple
Reviewed By fkoshidoI and my husband stayed for 3 days here to visit snow monkey park. This hotel ( minshuku ) is run by great couple . They are helpful to pick us up at yudanaka station and drop us near monkey park. Although Nagano in February was quite cold having snow , the room was very warm and cozy. Because of their hospitality and kindness we had such a wonderful time.

中高年でも気持よく過ごせる宿
Reviewed By SmileSiva全ての内容が満点評価。 旅行が趣味で色々行きますが、この評価は初めてです。 （超お高い「高級旅館」などの宿泊経験は無いのですが） 建物が古いのですが、清潔です。完璧なくらいに。 料理は長野県内各所から取り寄せた美味しい物と、自家製（？）の美味しいお野菜たち。量も多く、何とか全て食べた後は動けないくらい。でも翌日、全く胃がもたれてない。また心つくしの朝ごはんをお腹いっぱい、美味しく食べられました。 総じて、どんな細かい所にも出来る限り気を使っているのが良く分かる。どこにも全く手抜きなど感じない。 でも堅苦しくなく、「おもてなし」のお手本の様な暖かさを常に感じました。 いつまでもこのままで居てください。これから何度もお世話になると思いますので。

Best stay in Japan
Reviewed By Flyer53331317840Travelling with 2 toddlers under the age of 2 wasn't easy. We started our Nakasendo walk from Magome heading towards Tsumago (with 2 toddlers in tow). We finally reached Koshinzuka at 4PM, tired and cold. We walkted into a warm and cosy house. Masa san served us hot tea and biscuits for the family. The place was empty and we had 2 rooms to ourselves. The twins were too tired and slept at 5PM, and missed the yummy dinner. They prepared the most amazing dinner with extras for the twins. Tempura vegs from his garden and the most amazing fish. Had a cozy sleep and woke up to another amazing breakfast. Love this place, it was the best and warmest hospitality. We will be back again and thank you Masa San
