Top Kokugonji Hotel Reviews

Hotel JAL City Nagano

10/10 Excellent

"I stayed at the JAL for 8 nights and was happy with the service. The location is great as it is a short walk to Zenkoji Temple, the Prefectural Museum and also to Nagano JR Station. Nagano was a fascinating city to visit and the JAL was situated in a good location for finding amenities such as shopping and food. I love to walk and I really enjoyed exploring the area around the hotel. The staff were very helpful and friendly. Although my room was rather crowded with 3 beds, it was kept clean and well stocked. My only complaint was that the breakfast for a Westerner was very limited and got predictable very quickly. The food was very good, presented well and tasted fine but after 8 breakfasts eating the same things I was ready for a change."

Shibu Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"One of the highlights of my trip. This is a very special place where the staff could not have been more warm and helpful. We booked the half board for 2 nights and the food was very traditional, high level Japanese cuisine which didn’t completely suit our teenagers (just something to be aware of) but the service was superb and the facilities (hot baths and room) amazing."

Shibu Onsen KOKUYA

10/10 Excellent

"Extremely friendly staff that were happy to show us through and explain the amenities in perfect English. The meals were beautiful visually and so tasty. Definitely recommend this onsen."

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."

Ryokan Warabino

10/10 Excellent

"Wonderful authentic Ryocan Oncen experience. The entire staff were pleasant, helpful, and polite. The ryocan is located in a beautiful valley that is home to rice paddies and vegetable gardens. The private onsen is a great way to go for the modest ones. The half pension included an authentic and fresh chef’s menu."

Club Wyndham Shirakabaso Shigakogen

8/10 Good

"Spa is good."

Hotel&Resort Yamanouchi Hills

10/10 Excellent

"Location is incredible, especially if traveling by train/bus. The hotel is 2 minute walk from station. There is a Lawson's very nearby as well. The staff is very nice, and the hotel was very quiet. They have free drinks, snacks daily in the lounge. I mistakenly mixed up our checkout date and didn't realize until after we were supposed to have checked out. The staff was VERY understanding and they allowed us to book an additional night at the same rate we already had. I would definitely stay here again."

HOTEL Shiga Sunvalley

10/10 Excellent

"Rustic setting, friendly staff, and super convenient to ski out and back in to the hotel. Onsen after fay on the slopes felt divine."

Kumanoyu Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"I liked how traditional and authentic it is. We stayed in jan26 and the staff are amazing Totally recommend "
