Located in Shiojiri, within 34 km of Takato Joshi Park and 35 km of Canora Hall, BYAKU Narai provides accommodation with a bar and as well as free private parking for guests who drive. With a restaurant, the 5-star hotel has air-conditioned rooms with free WiFi, each with a private bathroom. The accommodation features room service and a 24-hour front desk for guests. The whole establishment is tastefully and authentically presented. My room was beautifully fitted out. Dark stained timber and white linen; all kinds of amenities including coffee grinder and green tea equipment. Personal bath is temperature controlled; shower facilities and toilet are excellent. There is also a onsen style bath at the main accommodation block. (There are 3 buildings). Location is around the middle of long heritage restored shopfront street. I elected to include dinner in the tariff. Dinner was 'omakase'/degustation and was delicious. As a solo traveller I sat at the counter (always my favourite place) and loved the interaction with the dedicated staff preparing and serving the courses. I also elected for drinks pairing which was very tasty and also a learning experience. It is listed as four star but it exudes luxury of great simplicity. I travel budget level in most places but am happy to pay more for traditional or special experiences, This is why I rated it a value for money. I also got an excellent 'genius' discount. Very convenient for hiking the Torii pass on the Nakasendo Way,

Located in Yamanouchi, 4.1 km from Jigokudani Monkey Park, Shoraiso provides accommodation with a garden, free private parking, a shared lounge and a terrace. This 5-star hotel offers room service, a concierge service and free WiFi. Guests can use the spa and wellness centre with a hot tub, and hot spring bath, as well as a bar. We had a great stay at Shoraiso for our honeymoon in December. Service is unparalleled and the staff are doing above and beyond to make us feel like home without being intrusive. We love the elephant decor of the room and the beautifully landscaped garden, and the private onsen is definitely the highlight of our trip. Breakfast and dinner are included and the food is just exceptional (very tasty with fresh local ingredient and creative presentation). The location is quite convenient - 45min train from Nagano to Yudanaka station and hotel is just a few min drive away (the hotel can arrange pick up). Monkey park is quite close (around 15min taxi away). Overall we couldn’t recommend this hotel more!

Located around 5.2 km from Karuizawa Station, the hotel with free WiFi is also 1.1 km away from Hiroshi Senju Museum. The property is non-smoking and is situated 21 km from Usui Pass Railway Heritage Park. The foods tasted better than it looks, pictures failed to justify the flavor. The room is just giving a different vibe and energies. I love the robes and winter coat provided, they are light but amazingly warm!
