Nestled in the mountains, Joshin'etsu-kogen National Park offers scenic hiking trails and natural beauty just minutes from downtown. Soak in the healing waters of Yudanaka Hot Spring or hit the slopes at nearby Shiga Kogen Ski Area when winter transforms the landscape.
Great location, just a short walk from Nagano Station and easy to find. It's on the same road that leads to Zenkoji Temple. For a two-night stay this met my expectations. Facilities were clean and tidy. I also had the chance to dine in at their Mash Cafe - it was a nice, cozy ambiance and the food and drinks were delicious. Staff both at check-in counter and cafe were very friendly.
