The futon was really thin, which may be difficult for westerners. I stacked a few on top of another to pad. Not much else to note.

Although we mostly communicated through Google translate, everyone was extremely friendly and hospitable. They even drove me to the bus station to help me with a big bag in the snow. Dinners were delicious, a plus since there isn't much open after about 5 o 6pm. The room was large, clean and had plenty of extra space for bags. It's a cool experience to stay in a typical ryokan in a little village.

No amenities/ towels provided, had to buy a tiny towel for ¥100 (it's not much but it's the only place I have ever stayed at that didn't provide a towel) The changing room for the sento doesn't have a door and it's fully visible from the corridor where everyone can pass through, didn't bother me but it might bother some people

Nice room Plenty of parking Affordable They gave me a free pen as a parting gift

Minshuku Rindo was fine, but pretty expensive for what it was. It was a bit hard to find, coming from the bus stop at Chusha shrine... not a short walk (I'm glad we left our bigger rolling suitcases in the coin lockers at Nagano station!) The building was rather old and a bit shabby. The food was sufficient, but not delicious. Bath towels and yukata cost extra. Almost none of the shops or restaurants in town were open (I guess winter is the main tourist season?), so I wish we'd taken a minute to pick up some groceries/snacks while in Nagano.

There's not much with an English-speaking web presence in Togakushi, so options are limited. Minshuku Rindo got the job done of giving us a place to rest our heads while hiking around the 5 shrines. The room had a little entry area to put our bags, which was actually really nice (the other 2 ryokans visited in other places in Japan didn't have that). The food was sufficient. The area was really lovely and worth the visit!

Breakfast could be more filling. It’s the most important (and biggest) meal for us. But dinner was great.

The place. It’s very near the middle shrine of Togakushi. I love the peace and quiet.

Not many other places to eat if you want a change .

Good location for weekend skiing when the lift behind the property is operating then it’s ski in ski out . The manager will drive you to the slopes on other days . Rooms are great large Japanese style. Food very Japanese . Discount lift tickets can be bought from the hotel.

The shower is shared showering. The changing area is right by the door. So if someone enters the changing area and u are changing, i feel like passerby could see too much of you.

This is a no frills property. The owner will give u an introduction really quickly. The room is really big tho. The property is about 8min walk from the chuusha bus stop, there is a mini slope along the way too. I ordered breakfast and dinner with my stay since togakushi restaurants generally close really early. I think the food is basic, its certainly not a spread. With the price paid, i think its ok

The location was a few minutes walk to Togakushi-Jinja, and 6 minutes from Togakushi Shrine Okusha (Main Shrine) The Great Torii Gate. Friendly staff with newly renovated property. The owner gave me an amazing recommendation to eat at the Nagano Forest Village.

Maybe I'm spoiled from my previous experience and travels around Japan, but there wasn't that sense of hospitality and care. Much more the feeling of a Hostel, where the staff are indifferent to you being a guest there. There were ants in my room, they did not supply nor have a towel to rent (only a small wash cloth), and the introduction was simply "Here is your room, here is the bathroom, wash room, here's the futons, set yours up yourself, welcome." I would have appreciated being taken through how the dining room and food options worked so I could decide if I wanted to order dinner/breakfast or not.

The rooms and the place overall is huge. The dining room as well is massive.

the room was infested with bugs that let off a smell when squashed. I caught at least 30 of them but they just kept appearing. The shared bathroom was dirty and hadn’t been cleaned. Our room was near the designated smoking room. every time we went out to use the toilet or basin we had to cope with the stench of the smoking area. There was an old man staying in the room next to us who I think was part of the family running the facility. He had his TV blaring until at least 3am, and was often smoking throughout the night. The bedroom pillows were very uncomfortable. There were no towels or toiletries supplied.

The location was good, as we could walk to the Ninja Mura with the kids in the morning.
