Very close to Nagano station where you can take the Shinkansen or local trains or buses to get around this beautiful prefecture. A short walk to Zenko-ji temple, the Zenko-ji Nakamise shopping street, and Nishinomon-Yoshinoya Sake Brewery if you want to sample some sake or amazake. Compact room but all the amenities needed to make your stay comfortable. If I'm back in Nagano, I will stay there again.
