Perfect hotel a bit outside Nagano

What this hotel lacks in location is fully compensated and more by the excellent hospitality, helpfulness and friendliness of the staff, delicious food (we had half board) and very nice onsen facilities. I have stayed in many hotels in Japan and all over and Seifuen hotel staff really is exceptional. We stayed three nights while visiting near-by ski resorts during the day and coming back just in time for dinner. The location is a bit away from everything but the shuttle bus service to Tokuga Station and back makes the location ok just 20min from Nagano and Ueda. The dinners were amazing delicacies set beautifully and ready at the time of our reservation time. Onsen facilities are very nice and the water quality excellent. Outside onsen had a beautiful architecture which we appreciated. I truly recommend this hotel if staying around Nagano

最高の温泉の一つです。

温泉は、最高でした。夕食、朝食も最高でした。新幹線で上田下車後、ローカル線で戸倉で降りるのですが、接続は、比較的にスムーズでした。帰りは、駅まで送ってくれました。新幹線が長野を通るまでは、たいへん栄えた温泉街であり、今も変わらない趣きがありました。

部屋は広くてよかったですが、使ってない部屋だったのか、ホコリが気になりました。浴衣とタオルが用意してあったタオルには木のクズがついていました。庭園にある足湯は汚かったです。あの汚さであれば、足湯は利用できないようにしたほうがいいと思います。
