Ryokan in Nagano Prefecture

"Nice and peaceful atmosphere with excellent service by nice people."

"We loved it there. This town is about a 15 minute walk to Shu "

"The staff was helpful! The included Japanese breakfast was so good!! We had everything we needed. Also they had a shuttle to the snow monkey park! So great!"

"Uotoshi is remarkable value for money and is also unique. The owner is very welcoming with great English. The Ryokan is older and somewhat rundown but it is also a community hub that has sing along classes for local kids (Rudolph the red nose reindeer in Japanese is awesome) and have fun with English nights. There is a Kyudo (Japanese archery) range behind the Ryokan which has classes taught by the owner as well as area competitions. Breakfast was varied and very tasty. I thoroughly enjoyed...

"Everything was great! The staff, accommodations, service and staff were exemplary."

"Good hotel"

"A good and suitable place to enjoy nature and the natural hot spring after an enjoyable hike in the surrounding area."

"Rooms were clean, towels and japanese robes replaced each day. The onsens were clean, the outdoor one was usually empty, just for me. The gentleman at the reception was accommodating to us and gave us a few rides from the hotel to different locations (station, monkey park). "

"Our stay at Byaku was one of the most memorable experiences on our Japan trip. The hotel exemplifies Japanese artistry in so many ways, from hospitality to cuisine to design. It was a unique opportunity to stay in an historic region in a beautifully renovated historic Japanese structure. "

"Such a wonderful experience. This smaller, quaint, relaxing spa was just the retreat we were looking for after 2 weeks of city life. We really enjoyed the slower pace, the food, and close proximity to Snow Monkey Park and Shiga Kogen."

"This place is very good, will visit again"

"Great traditional Japanese breakfast "
