Top hotels in Chikaraishi
Hotel JAL City Nagano
Need to walk quite a distance from Nagano Station, along the way, you will find Family Mart and Lawson. A quiet and peaceful street in the morning.

Iroha Grand Hotel
They serve free ramen or ice cream every day from 8-10 and it was extremely convenient getting back from a day of exploring and having that option at the hotel instead of having to look for food.
