Hotel Nagano Avenue
It’s a bit of a distance from Nagano Station. If you have a lot of luggage, you might want to take a taxi.
There is a large bath on the rooftop, and it is very comfortable.

You don’t see this much in Japan either, but there’s a free manga reading corner on the first floor.
There’s a 7-Eleven right next to the hotel, which is very convenient. It’s less than a 5-minute walk away and comes in handy.
Inside the hotel
It’s an older-style hotel, so it doesn’t feel luxurious, but it has a very old-fashioned Japanese feel that’s very relaxing. The room is simple and uncluttered. It’s clean and perfectly adequate for sleeping.
The best thing about this hotel is its prime location—it’s very close to the downtown area and within walking distance for dining. It’s perfect for relaxing in the evening: soak in the bath, grab some drinks from the convenience store, and unwind while reading manga.
A restaurant I visited nearby
Nagano Station is about a 3-hour drive from Tokyo. It’s also very conveniently located, taking only about 2 hours by Shinkansen bullet train.
The Area Around Nagano Station and the Townscape I Saw
The townscape is very beautiful and well-maintained, attracting people who move here from Tokyo. It also has nature, and is famous for soba noodles. However, being a basin, it gets extremely hot in midsummer and very cold in winter.
