Shioriya offers accommodation in Nagano, 11 km from Zenkoji Temple. Popular points of interest around the property include Togakushi Shrine and Old Kawanakajima Battlefield. Nagano City Museum is 2 km away and Matsushiro Castle is 4 km from the guest house.

It’s beautiful! The Japanese architectural details are so lovely. I learned a lot about the hotel and the design. The history of furniture in their family. The husband and wife who run Shioriya are so kind and welcoming. They went above and beyond. It was truly a great place to stay. I started my day smiling with them every day.

Rooms feature a tatami (woven-straw) floor and traditional futon bedding. They’re fitted with a low table with seating cushions, a TV and an electric fan. Toilets and bathing facilities are shared.

A Japanese breakfast is served at the dining room. Guests can use barbecue facilities to make their own dinner, at a charge.

This is a no frills property. The owner will give u an introduction really quickly. The room is really big tho. The property is about 8min walk from the chuusha bus stop, there is a mini slope along the way too. I ordered breakfast and dinner with my stay since togakushi restaurants generally close really early. I think the food is basic, its certainly not a spread. With the price paid, i think its ok
