Nakano Spa Hotel

"The Lotte Arai is the best hotel for skiing and onsen. Super soft endless powder snow on the gorgeous mountain hills and the slopes were adventurous and super exciting. The expert++ slopes can be another surplus if you are expert level. The onsen is luxury level. Sitting in the hotel water with snow falling on your head, especially at Lotte's well groomed onsen is unforgettable. The food at the hotel is not luxury level and limited as the location is all on its own with the city being 20-30 mins...

"Hotel Hanabun was a great ryokan experience! It is nestled in the mountains offering a peaceful getaway from touristy/crowded areas. It had the best onsen water, even the locals went there to bathe! The hosts and staff are all friendly and accommodating to your needs. Google translate was necessary to communicate, but everyone is very patient. The food was incredibly delicious, and they use locally sourced, fresh ingredients. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a cozy ryokan. "

"おかみさんが面白い方でした。 ただ、お風呂がぬるっとしたり、予約内容を忘れられてたりしましたので、細かい事を気にされる方にはお勧めしません。"

"Very nice view from your room. Will come back again"

"部屋が40へーべーと広い。 温泉が露天風呂有り。 ディナーや朝食がバイキングで持ち帰りのお弁当かその場で食べるか選べる。 周りは、山々で車があると便利。 ただ、ボーとしたり、紅葉をみたり野尻湖という日本2番目の湖に行ったりできます。 敷地内のリフトから展望台にゆきうえからの眺めも素敵です。"

"Beautiful views of the mountains and walkable distance to Matsushiro Castle Ruins. The location is a bit far from Nagano City so I takes a bus to get back to city for more dining and nightlife options. Breakfast buffet was great with a huge variety of japanese and western choices."

"Comfortable and friendly. I found everything to be as suggested. Well located with spacious rooms and a great

. Continental breakfast included. "
