In the middle of it all, it’s a hostel type property but don’t let that discourage you. Lovely couple that welcome you and help you with whatever you need. Location is amazing with a short walk to the temple and to all eateries. Room is cozy, overall I loved the experience

Liked: Amenities
Chuoukan Shimizuya Ryokan is a historical building in a convenient location. It is a 10 minute walk to the famous Zenkōji Temple and only 1 minute from the locals' favourite ramen and tonkatsu. However, the highlight of this Ryokan are the hosts. They made every effort to make us feel welcome and comfortable, despite the language barrier. I strongly recommend staying at Chuoukan Shimizuya Ryokan if you value culture and coziness.

This seemed like a very traditional, well cared for, old, lodge. Couple who run it are very hospitable with many unique features such as tea service, slippers, large breakfast, linens, hot hand packs provided etc. Cold and dark. Thin walls. Shared washing and toilets.

My stay at the Ryokan was nothing short of exceptional. The hosts went above and beyond in every way, ensuring that our experience was both comfortable and memorable. From the moment we arrived, they greeted us with warmth and genuine hospitality, making us feel like family. Every detail was thoughtfully taken care of. Highly recommended.

This Ryokan was perfectly located on the main street in Nagano. This Ryokan is very old, and has very steep stairs. Toilets are located on various floors between main floors. Bath only open 7-9am then again in the evening. Tatami mats were comfortable, and street side views windows were lovely.

Really enjoyed this Ryokan! We were hoping to have a traditional Ryokan experience while in Japan and this was perfect. The couple managing the property were very kind and attentive. The location is also very handy (right on the main street between Nagano station and Zenkoji temple). Highly recommend staying here.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
3 weeks before traveling to Nagano, we suffer a great loss from my father passing away. We wrote to this ryokan to cancel or change the dates. None of this options were avaliable and they didn't respond. We also call by telephone and a really rude and unpolite guy answer and didn't gave us any option or alternative dates to book with them. Terrible.

Historic Inn, truely different experience. Great location, short walk to large temple. 20 plus minute walk to central station and main restaurant area, nice evening walk. Simple, healthy Japanese bfast Would recommend only for those who dont need modern creature comforts.

The property is in a good location, very close to Zeno-ji on the main street, and is easily accessible either by a local bus or taxi. The building has an old charm and guests can get some idea of what it was like to live in a traditional Japanese house. The dinner is not offered, but a traditional Japanese breakfast is lovingly prepared and served by the owner’s wife. This ryokan is a nice place to experience some Japanese cultures.
