"Hotel’s onsen as shown in the website pictures are for members only. Only basic dormitory style rooms were offered with public bath which had water pressure problem that 2 cannot wash at the same time. The bath uses regular, non-hot spring water which only open from 800-2000. No hot water in the dormitory bathrooms. Hotel is well equipped with gym and game room however for members only. Wish more clarification on the booking sites for this. "

"A really old-fashioned Japanese onsen experience like nothing else. We ate in the Japanese restaurant one night and French the other evening. The food was fantastic. Rooms were comfortable but old fashioned. I would highly recommend the room with a private onsen - we saw tanuke (Japanese raccoon dogs) approach whilst we were bathing which was a really special experience. We hiked to the ridge (5 hours return) through a beautiful forest."

"レストランは研修中？の女性が、動き、声かけ、気付きが抜群に良かった。男性陣がもっと全体に目を向けないと研修中の女性の動きがよいだけに負荷がかかりすぎてると思う。ドリンクオーダーもテーブルにベルもないしわざわざ注文を伝えにレジまで行く有様。夜のコンサート企画は素晴らしい演奏で聴き応えがありました。"

"Not worth it. Way over priced! We stayed one night. Staff are very nice. But the place is of a by gone era. It’s old but not in a charming way. Showers in the onsen are cold and you have to wait for many minutes in order for hot water to come out. The rooms and elevators are old. the outdoor hotspring is on the top floor with no facilities (you have to go downstairs first and shower) and no real view to speak of. The location is on the main drag which is nice. But it should be 1/2 the...

10/10 Excellent

"Clean tidy and a bit bigger than the usual small rooms we have stayed in. Nice view of the mountains."

Holiday Inn Resort Kuroyon by IHG

6/10 Okay

"Title: Misleading “Private Onsen” Listing – Not What Was Advertised We booked this property specifically because it was advertised on Hotels.com as having a “private onsen,” and we paid a premium price under the belief that the onsen would be attached to our room and available for our private use 24/7. The listing showed beautiful photos of what appeared to be an outdoor private onsen and mentioned that a bathing fee would be charged per night (though it did not disclose the cost). Based on this description and imagery, it was reasonable to believe we were booking a room with a private, in-room onsen experience. However, upon arrival, we learned there was no onsen attached to our room at all. The “private onsen” is actually a small indoor bathing room available to any hotel guest for 1,500 yen per use. Although it is ‘clean’ it looks NOTHING like any photo we saw, it had a musty feel to it and it must be reserved in advance, and time slots may not be available at the requested time. We essentially paid an exclusive rate for an amenity that was neither exclusive nor as portrayed. The experience did not match the advertising, and that was extremely disappointing. We contacted hotels.com immediately the first night we stayed there through their customer support chat, and the lady was incredibly unhelpful/rude and did not understand the issue. She even tried to gaslight us into believing the 1500 yen per onsen trip was just the bathing tax they specified on their website. It "

Frequently asked questions

What is the best area to stay in Kanai?

The best area to stay in Kanai is around the main Kanai Station, particularly along the streets leading towards the Togakushi Shrine area.

This central area is the most convenient for visitors, offering a good selection of hotels, guesthouses, and restaurants. It's well-connected by local buses that can take you to key attractions like the Togakushi Shrine complex, known for its ancient cedar-lined approach, and the Togakushi Ninja Village. The main streets are easy to navigate and provide access to local shops and eateries serving regional specialities like Togakushi soba noodles.

For couples looking for a relaxing and culturally rich experience, staying near the base of the Togakushi Shrine area offers a tranquil setting. You'll be close to the serene cedar forests and can easily explore the various shrines and the Togakushi Folk Museum. Many accommodations here offer a more traditional Japanese stay, often with views of the surrounding mountains.

Families often find the area near the Togakushi Ninja Village to be a great base. This allows easy access to the village, which offers interactive activities and shows that children typically enjoy.

When is the best time to go to Kanai?

The best time to go to Kanai, Nagano Prefecture, Japan, is from late May to early June for spring beauty or from late September to early November for autumn colours.

This period is ideal for outdoor activities like hiking and exploring the natural beauty of the area without the intense heat of summer. You'll find fewer crowds compared to peak summer or winter ski seasons, allowing for a more relaxed experience.

For those who appreciate stunning natural scenery, the autumn months offer spectacular foliage as the leaves change to vibrant reds, oranges, and yellows. The crisp air and clear skies make it great for photography and enjoying the many walking trails.
