Top Kokugonji Hotel Reviews

Shibu Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"A wonderful stay! Very nice property alongside the river and close to the main street and baths. Spacious room, very nice baths on premises, excellent food. Above all, the hosts are very welcoming and gracious. Highly recommended!"

Wafu No Yado MASUYA

10/10 Excellent

"We had a lovely family stay at this ryokan in Shibu Onsen. Our room was river-view, with a beautiful sitting area. It was also a half-board rate, which meant we got to enjoy traditional Japanese breakfast and dinner each day. The public bath I used was lovely, especially the outdoor area. We also used the private onsen as a family, which was great! Easy to walk around town, and the shuttle service to the train station and the snow monkeys was very helpful. The staff were so hospitable and kind, we felt very cared for during our stay."

Shibu Onsen KOKUYA

10/10 Excellent

"Our stay here was amazing. The onsens were relaxing and beautiful, but the staff is what made our stay one of our favorite places while in Japan. Everyone went above and beyond to make us feel welcome and at home."

Hotel JAL City Nagano

10/10 Excellent

"Fantastic location, clean room, helpful staff that also spoke English. I would highly consider looking for this brand when going to another hotel in the future."

Kanbayashi Hotel Senjukaku

10/10 Excellent

"This is our second time staying here. We come to Japan every few years because my wife loves the snow monkeys. The staff here was very helpful and communicated clearly. They'll arrange shuttle pickup from the Yadanaka local station because it can be hard to find of you're not familiar with the area. You really should get the half board and do traditional Japanese breakfast and breakfast. It is a peaceful and intimate look into traditional Japan. You can see the pride taken in the work. We will stay here every time we come to Japan."

Hotel Hoshikawakan

10/10 Excellent

"I enjoyed the dinner meal even though I made a rookie hot pot mistake."

Kamei no Yu

10/10 Excellent

"A beautiful full-service experience that exceeded our expectations. The included dinners and breakfasts not only tasted good, but also taught us about Japanese culture and customs. Thank you to all staff for providing the experience."

Shimaya

10/10 Excellent

"While this is an older hotel, it is clean, things are in working order, and rather charming and unique. For example, I had a large room with a small patio that offered a beautiful view of the city. It’s in a quaint quiet town with gorgeous views of the mountains surrounding the town. I appreciated the thoughtful touch of hot green tea. The thermos amazingly kept the water hot even till the next morning. Because I went during « low » season in May, I was able to enjoy the onsen to myself ! The host/owner is a sweet man. It is rather expensive for one night but I did not regret my stay. I did get plenty of exercise being on the fourth floor with no elevator."

Club Wyndham Shirakabaso Shigakogen

8/10 Good

"Spa is good."
