6/10 Good

Room is spacious for 2 persons. Historical Japanese architectureal building. I don't believe there is any room with its own bathroom and toilet. Public hot spring bath room is small and the pool can only house 3 or max 4 persons. The old couple owners are very nice but cannot communicate in English. Usually local customers.Location is very central so close to amrnities and eateries and the famous Zenkoji temple.

6/10 Good

This place is great if you’re truly looking for a traditional experience. Futons on the floor, royakan, family run and hostel like. Good to know that it’s shared bathrooms, showers are only in onsen area, and hallways are quite cold in winter. Couple is very friendly and makes a lovely breakfast - note this is Japanese style. It’s very close to temple, Gondo and old part of town - super cool, but it also closes quite early. A unique experience we will remember for sure. :)

8/10 Very good

Excellent location for a quick trip to Zenkoji Temple and a very good bargain. The only issues are the stairs being steeper than most people are likely used to, and the futons can give you a stiff back. The price is nice in that it gives you the ability to try out the Ryokan experience without committing to a heavy price tag.

Excellent stay at this traditional Ryoken

It was a fabulous opportunity to stay at a traditional Ryoken and treated with Japanese hospitality. The location was also perfect and we could walk to the temple any many of the best restaurants which our hosts easily knew! So grateful.

Really enjoyed this Ryokan! We were hoping to have a traditional Ryokan experience while in Japan and this was perfect. The couple managing the property were very kind and attentive. The location is also very handy (right on the main street between Nagano station and Zenkoji temple). Highly recommend staying here.

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

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.
