Shimotakai District Winery Hotel

"Staff was kind and attentive, we got a great authentic experience with the dinner and breakfast addition. We would love to come back!"

"Everything was great! The staff, accommodations, service and staff were exemplary."

"Amazing place! Loved the kaiseki and on site onsen experience "

"We stayed at Ichinoyu Katei for one night and had an excellent experience. Futons were very comfortable, the breakfast in the morning was in the traditional Japanese style. There are two areas on the upper floor (gender-separated) with two hot baths, one indoors and one outdoors in each area. We were given the key to visit the town's public baths. The staff were very friendly and took care of us. They do speak sufficient English. Would definitely stay again."

"Nicer Ryokan for the area. Obvious reason to stay is to visit the Shibu Onsen facilities and the Snow Monkey Park and this is a great option for those activities. Pretty close to the Shiga Kogen resort. Check the Map before booking as it is not in Nagano despite the address. Diner and breakfast with Half board was very good and staff were friendly and helpful. Free shuttles were a bonus."

"Very accommodating. Explained how the stay would function given it is a ryokan and not a typical hotel. Onsen facilities were beautiful and well kept. Staff is extremely friendly and personable. "

"We loved it there. This town is about a 15 minute walk to Shu "

"The owner and staff were amazing and so friendly. We loved our stay !"
