Shima Yamaguchikan  

On the banks of the Shima River in Nakanojo (Shima), a short walk to Joshin'etsu-kogen National Park and nearby onsens like Hoshi and Sawatari. Roughly 11 km from the town center, with easy access to Nakanojo Dam and regional nature spots.

Comfortable guestrooms come with refrigerators, in-room safes and private bathrooms with separate tubs and showers. Rooms include hair dryers, complimentary toiletries, electric kettles and daily housekeeping. The hotel has an elevator and accessible facilities, and sits steps from the river for a calm, nature-leaning vibe.

Soak in hot springs and unwind in the on-site sauna, then challenge friends to karaoke after sunset. Complimentary Wi‑Fi, a bar/lounge and a coffee shop/café cover drinks and light bites. Onsite vending machines, gift shop/newsstand and free self-parking keep things easy — and mornings start with fresh river air.

Complimentary wireless internet throughout the property, plus luggage storage, newspapers in the lobby and a safe-deposit box at the front desk. Free self-parking is available onsite; note the front desk operates on limited hours.

A casual coffee shop/café serves snacks and light meals during the day, while the bar/lounge pours drinks to wrap up the evening. Ideal for quick bites, coffee runs and relaxed after-onsen drinks.
