Woody House Kazamidori, hotel in Shinano

Featuring free property-wide Wi-Fi, Woody House Kazamidori offers both cosy guestrooms and a standalone cottage.

Breakfast was very tasty, standard bread, eggs, ham, jam, and our host was gracious and inviting! Awesome baths connected to each shower that were available in the evening and fantastic after a day on the slopes - in addition, the drying room attached to the garage that ran for a certain time period each night is a great idea to allow skiers/boarders to dry their gear dry overnight.

Guesthouse Aozora Blue Sky, hotel in Shinano

Featuring 3-star accommodation, Guesthouse Aozora Blue Sky is situated in Myoko, 36 km from Nagano Station and 46 km from Suzaka City Zoo.

Masa and his wife made our stay feel like a home away from home. Friendly and smiling service at all times. Also Masa is an ex-michelin star chef. He will serve the best sushi/ramen you'll have in a long time at very affordable prices. Approx $40 for the best dinner we had on our 6 week trip through Japan. Highly recommend. Good dry room and laundry services as well made our stay and incredibly enjoyable one. The walk up/down the hill into down is a bit of a slog but that's only once a day so it's worth it for the awesome price that is offered per night.

Hotel Mumon, hotel in Shinano

A 5-minute walk from Akakura Hot Spring Ski Area, Hotel Mumom features simple rooms and a public hot-spring bath. Guests can enjoy drinks at the bar and relax by the fireplace at the lobby.

The decor is dated but that for me was all pet of the great charme of this hotel. The view from the admitted small Onsen is a nice touch and the breakfast was very nice Japan style Western breakfast. That is generally true of the hotel. The combination of air heater for warming the room quickly and heat blanket to warm just the bed without drying out the air is a clever idea.

Soratobu Usagi, hotel in Shinano

Some of the best service I've ever had from staff, such amazing people and so accommodating. The food they prepared for me was incredible and authentic, they catered for my vegan diet and I was that impressed. Super close to the main chair lifts walking distance for sure.
