Hotels With Bars in Nagano Prefecture, Japan

The hotel is right next to Nagano Station, with direct access to a shopping mall on the second floor, making its location the closest to the JR station. Even with an extra bed, the room didn't feel small, and we could easily open a 30-inch suitcase. It's very convenient for getting to nearby attractions by train, and there are plenty of dining and entertainment options around the hotel.

1. Parking - Parking is behind the hotel, and they will check your booking and give you a parking chit (駐車券). The person manning the parking situation doesn't inform you beforehand that you have to bring this chit to the lobby for check in. We left it on the dashboard as we thought it indicates that we can park here. If you're travelling with alot of baggage, it can get pretty inconvenient as you will have to walk one round around the hotel for accessible routes to avoid a flight of stairs. 2. Check in procedure - 三條-san was helping us with the check in. Did not feel welcomed, and everything just felt routined and mechanical. This was still acceptable. When it came to asking for the parking chit, we said we left it on the dashboard and whether we could return later to show it to him. We were really not informed that we had to bring it to the reception. 三條-san's face immediately showed a face of disgust and annoyance, and he mildly rolled his eyes too in displeasure. My partner immediately ran to the car to get it for him there and then. This was pretty shocking to me as I did not expect Japanese hospitality to be this rude and nobody mentioned to us to bring the chit to the reception. He could have been more patient and handled it more professionally. We were also unaware at the time of making a hotel reservation that you have to book a breakfast slot at the time of your check in. We checked in at around 7pm, and we were only left with the 6am or 6:30am breakfast slot. This felt very restrictive as everyone has different waking habits or plans for the next day (Felt like we were back in school). You were also restricted to 50 minutes duration at breakfast. Having to change my plan entirely just because of this restriction felt ridiculous. Would I get a refund of the cost of the breakfast if I can't make it for any of the breakfast timings? If this was made known at the point of the hotel reservation, I might have reconsidered as the slots for the more human timings seem to get snatched up really quickly. All in all, the check in progress was pleasant and 三條-san was a huge reason for it. I will recommend future visitors to avoid him if you see that there are other staff manning the reception desk. 3. The J floor rooms were lovely. Clean, decent size, filled with amenities and complimentary drinks even those in the fridge. The hotel room itself was lovely compared to what happened in the lobby. 4. Breakfast - Despite being left with the ridiculously early breakfast slots, breakfast spread was great. Wide range of food and if you get a window seat, you have a good view of the city.

The price is not that expensive, so we didn’t expect that much. However, everything was really great. Large and clean public onsen. The breakfast was really really brilliant - variety of food and the taste is very yummy. Only the con is a bit far from the city but it’s not our concern. Really impressed. The hotel also provides the drinking station everywhere. Free drinks and snack at the lounge too.

The room was large and we could see the suwa lake. The beddings were prepared by staffs and breakfast was also good. We could also enjoy the onsen downstairs. Also they let us check out an hour later. Perfect experience

A cozy boutique hotel with great access to Karuizawa attractions. - Excellent location in the heart of *Kyu-Karuizawa (旧軽井沢)*, walkable to *Old Ginza Street*, cafes, shops, and St. Paul’s Catholic Church. - Peaceful area, convenient for exploring by foot or car. - Room was clean, stylish, modern interiors with natural wood touches. - Spacious rooms (especially for Japan standard) with comfortable beds and good amenities. - Pyjamas were provided - Friendly, English-speaking staff; smooth check-in/out process.

It was a great experience to stay in this hotel! Very nice view and staff are very polite and willing to answer many questions. Outdoor area is very big that we could take bicycles with kids. Also there are kids outdoor playground that can spend whole day there. 

It is a pleasure to stay at this hotel because of its cleanliness and the services it provides. Despite the fact that the property is old and needs some renovation, I am still happy to leave a very good review. The hotel provides a free shuttle service to Matsumoto station. Additionally, it offers complimentary onsen access at another hotel, with shuttle bus service included. Hotel guests should make full use of these. Reminder: To ensure your seat at the onsen, please make the reservation by 9am every day. I will stay at this hotel again when I visit Matsumoto next time.

The location of the hotel is close to Yudanaka Station,only 4-minute walk.The twin room is spacious and comfortable,but the area near the window is slightly cold.The onsen is clean and spacious.View woman outdoor onsen ia great,can clearly see the mountains.The kaiseki dinner was very deicious.We are very impressed with Tsubakino Hotel.

Hotel  in the very nice location. There were no pajamas in the room, which is usually provided in most Japanese hotels, but I had to go to the lobby to get some. Most of the staff were nice, but there was one older woman who spoke more like a ward office clerk than a hotel staff member. I was disappointed.

The environment is antique, every place is full of details, the room has a first-class view, the open-air hot spring has a flavor, and the overall environment is comfortable. One berth and two foods, the quality of food is good. The service attitude is friendly and professional, and it is more traditional Japanese culture when sending us out of the hotel.
