Umeoka Ryokan in Nagano

Really loved my stay here. It felt really authentic and felt like I was experiencing the everyday japanese vacation style. The breakfast was good also and he even gave extra snacks 😅 not suitable for people that doesnt like communal bathe

The location isn’t really far from station. We had a great night staying in this ryokan. Also the breakfast is really good

It would have been nice to have a refrigerator in the room.

Although it was only one night, I was very happy to be able to talk about various things. I felt a sense of familiarity and ease that I couldn't get at a hotel, and the connection with my neighbors made it a wonderful final night of my trip.

This is an extremely cosy place, but I would not dare describe it as luxurious. It is dated and simple, with the most basic amenities.

However, I liked it a lot. The best part about this ryokan is its owner, an elderly man. He truly puts his heart and soul into his establishment. He even suggested to give us a ride to the station, however the weather was nice and we decided to walk instead.

I'd like to highlight the breakfast: it was gorgeous, given the price. I'd even say it tasted better than a ¥3000 dinner I had at some local restaurant.

The whole experience felt like visiting your grandparents, who live in a village, during the summer.

Good hotel, the owner is very hospitable, on the day of departure he took us to the station. We took with breakfast, the breakfast is tasty and filling. The hotel has a very good location. I recommend

The Japanese-style room is clean and tidy, and the equipment is a bit old but complete.
The hotel owner is an 80-year-old grandfather who is very nice. His English is not very good, but he will try his best to communicate with you. Because it was raining, he even drove me to Nagano Station.

Convenient location with reasonable rooms. Futons were pretty thin and uncomfortable, but I suppose that's part of the experience. The "onsen" is a bit of a let-down. The staff is great--the man running the place is very courteous.
