Guest Reviews
- Barbara (10/5): Lovely stay in this historic and beautifully appointed Ryokan right near the temple. - perfect location in the more culturally wonderful and historic area of Nagano. Delicious breakfast. Very accommodating and thoughtful staff. perfect
- David (8/5): - Great place and friendly staff Small public bath
- Sarah (9/5): A lovely ryokan - A lovely ryokan right near Zenkoji Temple. You can take a bus up from Nagano station and then walk a few minutes to the ryokan. The room was traditional with space for two beds and a small table. Tea and snacks were provided in the room. We had a private bathroom and shower. The onsen is lovely with space for 3-4 people it was not busy at all while we were there. We would definitely stay here again.
- Alejandro (10/5): Best ryokan of Nagano - The ryokan was great. The location was perfect, very quiet neighborhood and nice places around. It is a must if you visit Nagano
- LIANGCHING (7/5): -
- 陽子 (10/5): - ロケーションは最高で、スタッフの皆さんの接客もとても良かったです。
- Stroud (10/5): -
- Ursula Nötzli (9/5): - Schönes, sehr sauberes Ryokan inmitten der Tempelanlage. Sehr freundliches Personal, hervorragendes traditionelles Nachtessen und Frühstück.
- Alison (9/5): Stayed one night here and loved Nagano, this ryokan is in a perfect spot - The ryokan is in a fantastic spot close to Zenkoji and some other smaller temples. The staff were lovely and the room and communal areas were spotless. Be prepared for futons laid directly on to the tatami which can feel rather hard if you aren't used to it.
- Bart (10/5): Experience Japan in Nagano - If you are looking for a truly Japanese experience in Nagano, stay and sleep here. Very friendly staff, perfect location and both dining and breakfast is incredible. Highly recommend. Bathroom was complete and clean, but a little small.
- Isaac (10/5): -
- Meven (9/5): - Très bon emplacement, à deux pas du temple Zenko-ji : dans la rue commerçante menant au temple.
Les futons étaient très confortables. Le personnel était sympathique et serviable.
Le petit déjeuner était un plus à ne pas manquer. Le bain public manquait de chaleur, en comparaison à ceux d'autres séjours
- Jose (10/5): -
- ショウイチ (7/5): まあ、良かった。 - スタッフの対応及び夕食、朝食共に良かった。 隣りの部屋の物音が響く。
- Ivan (8/5): Une nuit dans un ryokan au pied du Zenko Ji - Situation exceptionnelle au pied du sanctuaire Zenko Ji. Ryokan traditionnel familial. Très propre. Très bon diner Kaise ki. Le onsen est très petit, mais agréable quand même
- patrizia (10/5): Meraviglioso - Bellissimo Ryokan nella zona del Tempio, stanza bellissima, pulita e super confortevole. La descrizione indica bagno in comune ma la stanza ha comunque un lavandino ed i servizi mentre la zona onsen è in comune ed è sempre un piacere, per me poterla utilizzare. Tra l'altro sono sempre capitata quando era vuota. Ho prenotato la cena per la prima sera ed era veramente deliziosa. La consiglio anche perchè la zona, pur essendo molto bella, la sera si svuota e restano poche opzioni per mangiare fuori, benchè alcune eccellenti. La zona più vitale, è quella intorno alla stazione che è a circa 30 minuti a piedi o 10 di autubus. Tuttavia il Zenkoji la sera è veramente magico ed è stato un vero piacere soggiornare qui. Personale gentilissimo, molto discreto. Una bellissima esperienza. Purtroppo per me futon e cuscino erano troppo duri, per dormire ho sofferto un pò.
- MIKA (9/5): また泊まりたい旅館 - お食事がとても美味しく品数も多い。毎回満足です。
旅館のかたもとても感じが良い。
善光寺の法要に最適な立地。それでこのお値段なのは本当にありがたいです。
- James (9/5): Excellent location, wonderful staff. I would definitely stay there again. Especially considering you are in the middle o - Central location in Zenkoji temple area. Very friendly and helpful staff. Spoke English. Food was very good. Facilities were clean, room was a good size. The ofuro (public bath) was a little small but quite adequate.
- Andrew (10/5): Amazing location, lovely ryokan, helpful staff - Lovely place, great facilities and amazing location. The staff were very helpful, especially as we’d forgotten to tell them we’re vegetarian. The managed to create a wonderful ryokan breakfast for us at very short notice.
- MASASHI (10/5): -
- nakahara (7/5): -
- petersen (10/5): Meget behageligt ophold i venlige japanske omgivelser - Personalet var meget venligt, stedet var i japansk stil, havde en perfekt beliggenhed og maden var imponerende god.
- Jeanette (10/5): Classic Japanese Ryokan with Ibsen and on site meals - Authentic Japanese experience with an on-site, separate male and female, ONSEN bath. Huge multicourse, breakfast and dinner served in a classic environment with lovely quiet music in the background. The location could not be better. It is in a historic building associated with the shrine. There was nothing not to like about this exquisite experience
- Veerle (8/5): Lovely ryokan on Zenkoji's doorstep - Lovely Japanese room on the doorstep of Zenkoji. Breakfast and dinner were freshly prepared with local ingredients. The onsen was very relaxing. Although the hosts were very friendly, they were a little too punctual. I had reserved dinner for 6pm and at 6pm on the dot they came to fetch me for dinner, which I found a little pushy.
- Jung Kit-dean (10/5): Japanische Tradition erleben - Die Lage ist außergewöhnlich zum Shrein. Wunderbar, um auch am Nachmittag in der Fußgängerzone zu schlendern. Man ist mitten im Geschehen. Bis zum Bahnhof Nagano Station ist es auch nicht weit. Man kann zu Fuß laufen, ca. 30 Minuten, oder steigt in einen der vielen Busse, die zum Bahnhof fahren.
Das Frühstück war erstklassig. Ganz traditionell japanisch, sehr schmackhaft.
Das Personal war unglaublich aufmerksam und sehr hilfsbereit bei Fragen. Hier gibt es nichts.
- Heimana (9/5): Un séjour très agréable dans un ryokan très bien géré. - Un super emplacement et une immersion dans la vie traditionnelle japonaise grâce au ryokan et aux repas et petits déjeuners.
- Serge (10/5): - Exceptional food and service.
- Andrew (10/5): BOOK IT NOW!! - This place is amazing!! You NEED to stay here!!
- kana (7/5): - 善光寺から近く、参道にもすぐに行ける。スタッフも感じが良かったです。 階段しかないので祖父、祖母は階段の上り下りが大変そうだった
- Fries (10/5): The best Ryokan experience I’ve had in Japan - Absolutely everything! Absolutely nothing!
- Fredrik (10/5): -
- Darlin (10/5): -
- Kristin (10/5): Special, wonderful place to stay - The location was amazing Comfortable, onsen on property, wonderful location, wonderful staff
- Tomas (10/5): Magique - Magnifique exemple de ryokan traditionnel, repas superbe
- Bria (8/5): - clean room that is serviced daily by clearly friendly family run operation. Lovely tea and sweets provided. Excellent location that allows you to enjoy the shrine area after dark when other tourists have gone. Large shower and toilet area considering the budget price and overall small room. Excellent value for money.
- KARASAWA (10/5): -
- Bonnie (10/5): I highly recommend Jizokan Matsuya Ryokan! - What an amazing place to stay! This was my first time in Nagano, and I couldn't have had better accommodations! I was traveling with a friend and her daughter, and our room was large, comfortable, and had room for all our luggage. The staff was lovely, so helpful and kind. We had a car, and the parking was easy to access - we didn't have any trouble finding a parking spot. The breakfasts were really terrific, traditional Japanese and yummy! We had dinner one night and it was terrific as well. I would highly recommend this Ryokan for anyone travelling to Nagano! Watching our host hauling our luggage up the stairs to our room (though he did so effortlessly).

- Nishiyama (9/5): -
- Jonathan (10/5): Amazing stay - thank you! - We loved our two days in Nagano. The ryokan is absolutely beautiful and the staff are so friendly. The food was a great experience - beautifully presented and served in our private dining room - and they always made an extra effort for our little baby. Nothing - it was really excellent.
- Julie (10/5): - L’hospitalité et la gentillesse des hôtes
La chambre traditionnelle est très jolie
- Penelope (10/5): Blissful Nagano stay in the perfect location. - Amazing location steps from the temple, but also so peaceful. Beautiful renovated rooms - compact but so well thought out. Ryokan staff were exceptionally helpful and welcoming. We will definitely return.
- Merel (9/5): Geweldig! - Heel centraal en dichtbij de tempel. Vriendelijk personeel! Heel bijzondere ervaring om een keer in een traditioneel Japanse ryokan te slapen. Niets
- Deon (10/5): - Like other reviews - excellent location, dinner experience was great, room and staff excellent.
- Myroslava (8/5): - Very close to Zenko-ji, it was very convenient to attend the morning blessing ceremony..Parking available. Breakfast was excellent. Beds were very comfortable. Highly recommend the experience!
- Lin Au (10/5): - Incredible ryokan and super friendly hosts, we felt very welcomed! Our family room was spacious and very clean, the futon comfortable amd we had a good sleep :) The onsen bath was amazing after a long day hiking in the mountains and the traditional japanese breakfast was tasty, thank you! Everything was fine

- 8c0769776ffe732a137b5f0d237c0695 (10/5): This traditional Japanese experience was everything we wanted it to be! - The location was perfect, the staff were friendly. We loved the whole ryokan experience the property provided. The beds were a little firm but this might just be traditional bedding in a ryokan that supplies western style beds.
- e9fb8a2aaa3f71702953e551cbde4c3d (10/5): -
- 95fe9d0133fd72673b32c25e452bb6d5 (7/5): Clean rustic ryokan near Zenko-ji - Location is great & the staff is friendly. Super close to Zenko-ji temple. Public bath too small & short operating hours. Room is also a little small for 4.
- 637f93b7a23c72e4349e1691628da815 (8/5): Ryokan caratteristico, centralissimo e pulito. Vera esperienza giapponese - La struttura è ordinata, pulita, accogliente. La posizione è imbattibile. La colazione (ottima per gli standard giapponesi, poco consona a occidentali)
- 3f4f719d496c72d42d915cf90cb9445c (7/5): Great location - great location , very clean and warm nothing much
- Patrick (9/5): -

料理がボリュームたっぷり

- Maria Maddalena (9/5): Tipico e stupendo - Ryokan stupendo, in una posizione bellissima nella zona pedonale davanti ai templi di Nagano. Onsen molto bello, stanza super bella. Parcheggio comodo a due passi di numero dall’hotel
- Lucy (10/5): -
- Antonia (10/5): -
- Jenzel (10/5): The whole experience was amazing! We recommend the breakfast and the dinner. - The service was top-notch quality. You won’t find anything like this ever. Both professional and welcoming at the same time. Nothing
- Machattie (10/5): Highly recommend this beautiful ryokan! - Location was exceptional. We loved being in the old part of town and so close to Zenkoji temple. Highly recommend booking dinner, so many dishes and they were all excellent. Very beautiful room and spotless, large bathroom. Was perfect to stay with our children. Staff were so welcoming and friendly. Loved the onsen downstairs as well.
- Robyn (10/5): - Welcoming hosts, comfortable rooms with private bathroom, public bath available. Location excellent. On pedestrian street a short walk from the temple.
- Twan (9/5): Heerlijk verblijf! - Locatie, personeel, eten.
- Sakamoto (9/5): - スタッフの方がとても親切で丁寧な対応をしていただきました。古い旅館みたいですが、施設も清潔で気持ちが良かったです。朝食のみ付きにしたのですが、ボリュームも充分でした。
帰りは若干雨模様だったのですが、傘を持って行ってくださいと仰っていただき、有り難く貰って帰りました。とてもあたたかな感じの旅館で善光寺のすぐ傍でしたので交通の便も良かったです。 特に無かったです。
- Yoko (10/5): 良かったです! - 善光寺から本当に近い。お朝事の行き帰りに便利でした。前日に購入した券があるか聞かれ、なぜと思ったら!お朝事では本堂の中まで入りますがその際には拝観券が必要です。有効期間は2日なので前日の券を見せればOKとのこと。聞いておいて良かった!こういったところが親切で良いですね。 良くないと言うわけでは無いですが、内部の構造が複雑に感じ、少し迷いました笑
- Melissa (10/5): Great ryokan in the midst of the most beautiful neighbourhood - Lovely ryokan in the middle of the most gorgeous neighbourhood of Nagano full of charm and temple beauty. The ryokan is clean, simple and had a bathhouse. The dinner there is very good and definitely worth it. Nothing!
- Lien (9/5): -
- Claudio (10/5): - Accoglienza e disponibilità Nulla
- Nicoletta (10/5): -
- Linda (10/5): It was a unique and wonderful experience that I hope to repeat soon in the future. The property is truly traditional Jap - Everything There was nothing I didn’t like, everything was excellent

- Jean-Francois Ricard (10/5): -
- Maria (10/5): So glad we stopped here - Loved the opportunity to stay in a Ryokan and use the in-house Onsen. (Seperate ones for ladies/gentlemen. Tattoo friendly) They supplied some traditional basic costume to wear. The location was extremely close to the temple and in a street full of heritage type buildings. Beautiful. You can have a traditional Japanese meal here, however we didn’t take up this opportunity as they were unable to accommodate vegan-so sorry to miss that.
- Lee (10/5): -
- Connor (10/5): -
- Robert (10/5): Traditional Ryokan stay with great pricing and perfect location - Location and price is unbeatable. Located right down the street from the Zenko-ji, and on a street closed to traffic with lots of shops and small sweet shops. (There was this place BENIBENI, a few stores down from our ryokan that served these decadent apple pies that we still think about. Nagano area, due to the altitude is known for their apples). Other than sweet shops lots of other restaurants and soba noodle places within walking distance. (We went to this place Togakure Tsukiya that had awesome food, great service).
We were lucky to be in Nagano when they had the lantern festival and the Zenko-Ji all lit up which was amazing to see. There is a Starbucks right across the street from the Ryokan for those who need the caffeine kick in the morning. It was easy to get to from Nagano station by bus. It is pretty much a straight shot from the train station. Walkable but a a bit of a longer walk.
We stayed in the room with the private bathroom. The shower and amenities were good. No reason to stay anywhere else because the location and price were perfect.
We had already done the kaiseki meal at another ryokan we stayed at so opted out of it for this one. I am sure it was good though! Nothing,
- HiderR1106 (9/5): くつろげました。 - 立地条件もよく直ぐにわかりました。夕飯はおいしくお酒も美味しかったです。部屋ではゆっくり過ごせ、お風呂も清潔でした。 部屋のお茶ですが、新しいお茶はを入れるのにお茶ガラを切る方法がなかったことです。
- akemi (9/5): -
- Erik en Judith (10/5): prachtige authentiek Japanse Ryokan op fraaie locatie - De Ryokan ligt in een prachtige authentiek Japanse straat vlakbij een fraaie tempel. Binnen is het keurig netjes en opgeruimd
- Corina (9/5): Um in Japan anzukommen, einen hervorragenden Ort. - Das Frühstück und das Nachtessen Nichts
- Nikos (10/5): -
- Paul (7/5): A taste of traditional Japan. - Izakaya dinner was superb, a real taste of Japan. The tatami matting and low table and chairs were a traditional Japanese experience. The free use of kimonos was an unexpected bonus experience. The decor was lovely. Very close to (and an original part of) the Zenkoji Temple. The room was cold - even with hot air blowers going full belt.
- Russell (10/5): -
- Ranee (9/5): Pleasant stay in tradition ryokan. - Location is superb.
Variety of delicious food.
Staff are nice and efficient.
The place is very clean. New bathroom of room 16 is nice but freezing. It needs some heating system inside the bathroom.
- Francesca (10/5): Couldn’t have been better - Amazing hidden gem. Japanese breakfast is delicious and they give you your own private room to have breakfast I liked everything about the property
