Oshi Ryokan

The place was beautiful, clean, and welcoming! The staff, who all spoke fluent English, were lovely and accommodating. I felt very safe there, especially in regards to my allergies during meals. The meals were delicious, beautifully plated and care was taken to ensure each item was safe for me to eat. Nothing

“高級ホテルの和室では味わえない、何か懐かしい思いがよみがえる部屋を堪能できました。食事も朝夕共に種類も多くとても美味しかったです。また、今回、公共交通機関を利用しての訪問でしたが、バスの便数が少なく不便ということで奥社入口まで車で送っていた”

I felt a wonderful sense of history in the high‑ceilinged house built in the Edo period, and I was impressed that it remains clean to this day. The bath and toilet were shared, not in the room, but they were kept clean and there were no particular drawbacks.

“Traditionell übernachten und schlemmen im familiengeführten Ryokan”

I felt very comfortable in this lovingly designed, family‑run ryokan. The owner and her daughter were very friendly, and the traditional Japanese breakfast and dinner served on site were absolutely delicious and balanced. The highlight was slipping into the provided yukata each day, going to my private dinner room, and trying new healthy treats – I felt like a princess! The town has little to offer, but that’s fine because the ryokan supplies everything. The room was very large and cozy. From the ryokan you can walk the Togakushi Path, as it sits at the foot of the first shrine. A beautiful lake is nearby. I enjoyed the nature and tranquility of the ryokan very much. After my hikes I relaxed in the bath: there is a kind of oversized bathtub that all guests can use (you go to the bath alone). The toilet is shared too. Some parts of the ryokan are a bit old, but that only adds to its charm. It’s reachable from Nagano by bus, though the service is irregular and the last bus comes early, so plan ahead. From Togakushi I took an express bus back to Nagano, booked online.

“大満足です！”

The destination and bus stop are close. They asked about my food preferences beforehand and I didn’t have to leave any leftovers – I was full. The bath was on a first‑come, first‑served basis and I could relax alone. If you’re picky, the toilet is shared and there was only one hair dryer in the hallway washroom, none in the room – disappointing.
