TENNEN-ONSEN HOTEL LiVEMAX PREMIUM Nagano-ekimae
This is an excellent place to stay in Nagano. It’s a short walk from Nagano Station and a short train or bus ride away to most places you’ll want to see. The staff is extremely helpful and friendly, the hotel is quiet, and there are laundry facilities and onsen onsite. Highly recommend!

Great breakfast buffet with enough Western friendly options to get the kids fed! Clean, small but satisfactory.

HOTEL COURTLAND
What i like is that it’s very near to Nagano Station - 2-3mins walk only. The size of the room was just right for 2 pax with 2 checked-in luggage & 2 carry on. Staff were very accomodating to your questions and needs. What i dont like is that, the ac is off (Autumn season)
