The building is very old and, being wooden construction, creaky and drafty, but also charming. The onsen was exceptionally clean and a wonderful first time experience for us. The breakfast was beautifully presented and delicious, with a variety of offerings we had never before encountered. We are westerners in our early 70s and were a little worried about sleeping on futons on the tatami mat covered floor, but we both slept well and appreciated this truly Japanese experience in the lovely city of Negano. ##### Betty Stayed 3 nights in May 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Eduardo Jan 9, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Great to experience a Ryokan stay at a reasonable price. Superior service by a very nice couple. Highly reccomended!! ##### Eduardo Stayed 1 night in Jan 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Janet Sep 9, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities I stayed 2 nights here. After the first night, I decided to relax in my room, read my book and venture out after lunch. However, at 10am the woman running the inn knocked repeatedly on my door. When I answered, she brushed by me and entered my room saying “cleaning cleaning” she grabbed the air conditioning remote and turned it off then ran over and opened the curtains. She then just stood there and stared at me repeating “cleaning cleaning”. I wasn’t prepared to leave right away but she was persistent. If you stay multiple days you will have to leave at 10am for the day. I read a lot of the comments about the woman being rude but I didn’t find her rude. She only speaks Japanese, and a few English words, so communicating can be difficult. It’s a great experience staying in an old traditional Ryokan. Maybe only stay 1 night ##### Janet Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Santosh Feb 17, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities 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 ##### Santosh Stayed 1 night in Feb 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Isabel Apr 23, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities This is the perfect place to stay if you would like to try a traditional ryokan. Everything was amazing and I want to go back here again! ##### Isabel Stayed 2 nights in Mar 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Marcus Mar 31, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Before booking, I'd really recommend looking up all of the etiquette required when staying at a Ryokan. You really need to know what to expect before getting there, as I feel like this is among the most traditional you'll find in Nagano. But if you've learnt all of that, and you're up for it, this is a perfect stay. The hosts are incredibly welcoming and hospitable. But don't expect any English, and make sure you know the Ryokan rules. ##### Marcus Stayed 2 nights in Mar 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kenneth Apr 14, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities I stayed for 5 days and it was an outstanding experience in a ryokan. The staff was excellent and the location couldn’t be better. I highly recommend this when in Nagano. ##### Kenneth Stayed 5 nights in Apr 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Bronte Dec 9, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service Disliked: 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. ##### Bronte Stayed 6 nights in Nov 2024 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Tokyo Disney Celebration Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Tokyo-Hotels-Tokyo-Disney-Celebration-Hotel.h21163232.Hotel-Information) > > [Park Hyatt Niseko Hanazono](https://www.expedia.ca/Niseko-Hotels-Park-Hyatt-Niseko-Hanazono.h38527384.Hotel-Information) > > [Konansou](https://www.expedia.ca/Fujikawaguchiko-Hotels-Konansou.h9145049.Hotel-Information) > > [Grand Chariot Hokutoshichisei 135°](https://www.expedia.ca/Awaji-Hotels-Grand-Chariot-Hokutoshichisei-135.h34745847.Hotel-Information) > > [Yumotokan](https://www.expedia.ca/Otsu-Hotels-Yumotokan.h7028149.Hotel-Information) > > [Courtyard By Marriott Kyoto Shijo Karasuma](https://www.expedia.ca/Kyoto-Hotels-Courtyard-By-Marriott-Kyoto-Shijo-Karasuma.h20518950.Hotel-Information) > > [The Ritz-Carlton, Okinawa](https://www.expedia.ca/Okinawa-Hotels-The-Ritz-Carlton.h5117262.Hotel-Information) > > [Kawaguchiko Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Kofu-Hotels-Kawaguchiko-Hotel.h12991356.Hotel-Information) > > [ASO Farm Land](https://www.expedia.ca/Aso-Hotels-ASO-Farm-Land.h11868090.Hotel-Information) > > [Fuji Marriott Hotel Lake Yamanaka](https://www.expedia.ca/Yamanakako-Hotels-Fuji-Marriott-Hotel-Lake-Yamanaka.h17705474.Hotel-Information) > > [HOSHINOYA Okinawa](https://www.expedia.ca/Okinawa-Hotels-HOSHINOYA-Okinawa.h40226148.Hotel-Information) > > [Fuji View Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Kofu-Hotels-Fuji-View-Hotel.h2333483.Hotel-Information) > > [Rusutsu Resort Hotel & Convention](https://www.expedia.ca/Niseko-Hotels-Rusutsu-Resort-Hotel-Convention.h3948188.Hotel-Information) > > [Hyatt Regency Tokyo Bay](https://www.expedia.ca/Tokyo-Hotels-Hyatt-Place-Tokyo-Bay.h35893302.Hotel-Information) > > [Fuji Speedway Hotel - The Unbound Collection by Hyatt](https://www.expedia.ca/Oyama-Hotels-Fuji-Speedway-Hotel.h82927328.Hotel-Information) > > [Wakakusa no Yado Maruei Ryokan](https://www.expedia.ca/Kofu-Hotels-Wakakusa-No-Yado-Maruei-Ryokan.h6136631.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Clad](https://www.expedia.ca/Gotemba-Hotels-Hotel-Clad.h38381266.Hotel-Information) > > [Fujisan Onsen Bessho SASA](https://www.expedia.ca/Kofu-Hotels-Fujisan-Onsen-Bessho-SASA.h14626817.Hotel-Information) > > [Fujisan Onsen Hotel Kaneyamaen](https://www.expedia.ca/Fujiyoshida-Hotels-Fujisan-Onsen-Hotel-Kaneyamaen.h14626290.Hotel-Information) > > [Oriental Hotel Tokyo Bay](https://www.expedia.ca/Tokyo-Hotels-Oriental-Hotel-Tokyo-Bay.h1041843.Hotel-Information) > > [Ooike Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Kofu-Hotels-Ooike-Hotel.h5620879.Hotel-Information) > > [La Vista Fuji Kawaguchiko](https://www.expedia.ca/Kofu-Hotels-La-Vista-Fuji-Kawaguchiko.h15976788.Hotel-Information) > > [Lakeland Hotel Mizunosato](https://www.expedia.ca/Kofu-Hotels-Lakeland-Hotel-Mizunosato.h10608801.Hotel-Information) > > [Fufu Kawaguchiko](https://www.expedia.ca/Kofu-Hotels-FUFU-KAWAGUCHIKO.h33760212.Hotel-Information) > > [Highland Resort Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Kofu-Hotels-Highland-Resort-Hotel-Spa.h990130.Hotel-Information) > > [Fuji Onsenji Yumedono](https://www.expedia.ca/Kofu-Hotels-Fuji-Onsenji-Yumedono.h9635420.Hotel-Information) > > [Nishiyama Onsen Keiunkan](https://www.expedia.ca/Hayakawa-Hotels-Nishiyama-Onsen-Keiunkan.h37148164.Hotel-Information) > > [HOTEL MYSTAYS Fuji Onsen Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Kofu-Hotels-HOTEL-MYSTAYS-Fuji-Onsen-Resort.h16114229.Hotel-Information) > > [Kasuitei Ohya](https://www.expedia.ca/Kofu-Hotels-Kasuitei-Ohya.h13002262.Hotel-Information) ### Packages > [Mexico](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/theme-vacations/all-inclusive-vacations/117/Mexico)
