    Amazing location just steps from Zenkoji! Apparently the ryokan is actually the original location of the temple until it burnt down and was rebuilt in its current location.

    The staff was very helpful. The breakfast was delicious. The location was amazing. It was great being on the shopping street and steps from Zenko-ji. My kids liked walking around it after the crowds dispersed. Easy to walk to Nagano station in...

    Traditional Ryokan, had a really great feel. Food was excellent, wait staff was fantastic. Room was spacious. Very close to Zenkoji Temple. It was really nice and peaceful to walk the area at night after all of the "tourists" leave.

    Very good traditional breakfast. The room was small but cozy. The location was wonderful, as it was so close to the Zenkoji Temple and nice shops.

    It felt authentic Japanese Ryokan, and its close proximity to Zenkoji Temple. The temple is one of the major attraction in Nagano with full of visitors during the day, but we were able to explore quiet temple ground in the evening after dinner...
