Kamesei Ryokan  

In Chikuma, Nagano — a short stroll from the quirky Nishizawa Piggy Bank Museum and a quick drive to Joyama Historic Park and Arata-Jo Mountain Castle. Close to Obasute Rice Terraces and several local temples, the ryokan sits amid Nagano’s scenic hills.

A compact ryokan with just 12 air-conditioned rooms. Guest rooms feature fireplaces, flat-screen TVs, refrigerators, safes and slippers, plus daily housekeeping and wake-up service. There’s also a massage room and concierge service on site.

Soak in onsite hot springs and a hot tub, rent bicycles to explore nearby sights, and book excursions at the tour desk. Complimentary Wi‑Fi in rooms and public areas, laundry and luggage storage, plus free onsite parking keep stays effortless.

Free Wi‑Fi throughout, photocopying and printer services, luggage storage, safe-deposit box and laundry — practical extras for business or extended stays.

An onsite restaurant serves guests, with limited-hour room service available. Full breakfasts are offered daily from 7:30 AM to 9:00 AM for a fee.
