Ueda Tokyu Rei Hotel ★★★

"Even though I made the reservation for the night, they upgraded my room for the same price! I hope to stay with you again if I have the opportunity!"

Ueda Plaza Hotel ★★

"The old room was very scary. I had to find another place to stay. I was very disappointed. 🥹"

Nakamatsuya Ryokan ★★★★

"A very unique Japanese-style hot spring hotel. The entire building is covered with tatami mats. The open-air hot spring on the seventh floor is great and you can see a lot of stars."

Bessho Onsen Midoriya ★★★

"Perfect stay. Amazing modern onsen ryokan. Lovely privat baths ideal for couples or families. Food was also really good and communication with the lovely staff in english (with some help from google translate) easy."

Ryokan Tsuruya ★★

"Our lodging in Bessho Onsen was "Ryokan Tsuruya," a rather retro hot spring inn founded in the Genroku period of the Edo period. However, the cuisine is highly acclaimed, and the hot spring water is 100% natural spring water, so we booked it. The low price was also quite attractive... The gabled building's exterior is beautiful. This time, we reserved a Japanese-style room with 10-12 tatami mats. The room is retro, full of Showa-era charm, but it's kept clean and comfortable. The shoji screen decorations and alcove design are wonderful. The black telephone and CRT TV are full of retro charm. There's also a toilet and sink in the room. The hot spring water is 100% natural spring water, with no added water, so the landlady warned us, "Be careful, it's hot," but for me, it was just the right temperature. The open-air bath was a little cooler, but it was also comfortable. It had a sulfurous scent and the water quality was excellent. There is also a free private bath, but since we were staying on a weekday and only four groups were staying, we didn't meet anyone in the hot spring. Meals at Tsuruya Ryokan are served in your room. The menu included Shinshu salmon sashimi, carp simmered in sweet syrup, earthenware pot steamed dishes, and A5-grade beef shabu-shabu. It wasn't flashy, but it was delicious♪ Dessert was fruit compote. It was a very satisfying dinner. Breakfast was also served in the room. It was a little simple, with simmered simmered dishes, salad, whitebait, hot springs*, etc., but maybe this is fine. I prefer this kind of nostalgic, rustic inn to a half-renovated inn!"

Saihokuso Inn ★★

Saito Ryokan ★★

"I stayed overnight without meals included, arrived late at night, and left on the first train of the day, but I felt a sense of peace and tranquility that only a small, cozy place can offer. The landlady was very kind, and the sulfurous hot spring water was wonderful."

Besshoonsen Nanjyo Ryokan ★★★

"I stayed at a nearby izakaya (Japanese-style bar) and didn't get a dinner plan, but I still felt that 10,000 yen was an incredible deal for this quality. The room, bath, and service were all perfect for a trip with friends."

Sotetsu Fresa Inn Nagano-Ueda ★★★

"The room is not large but very cozy, clean, and tidy. Breakfast is Japanese-style with a small Western buffet, mainly light options. For Chinese guests who aren't used to having rice for breakfast, I highly recommend mixing the rice with an onsen egg—it's quite delicious."
