"A traditional family run Ryokan right in the heart of the temple complex of Zeno-hi. An amazing experience of a Japanese room, and the accompanying culture of the Ryokan. The hotel is set into the fabric of Nagano tradition, being at an original temple site. Nearby eateries to suit all tastes. Easy access to central Nagano on frequent bus routes to the main JR station and 600m downhill to the local Denetsu station at Zenkoji for a day out to Obuse."
