The location is superb - a block away from the train station. You're in the heart of the action, with a Donki supermarket, the Midori shopping mall, and lots of restaurants that open late within walking distance. The beautiful Zenkoji temple is a straight line 2km walk from here, and you will pass by a 24h supermarket along the way. I had a room facing the street and opened a window crack to enjoy the cool spring breeze. It had the typical standard amenities such as the toothbrush/skin care packs in the lobby, a decent breakfast, and spectacularly clean rooms.

1 Block From the Train Station

Very close to Nagano Station. You exit out of the station. Find the overpass that takes you across to Don Quijote Discount Store. There is an escalator that takes you down to the street level. Turn right. You'll walk past the Alpico Bus Ticket Office. This is where you buy the bus tickets to go to the three shrines in Togakushi (bus number 70, approximately one bus per hour). Keep walking until you see a Chinese restaurant. The hotel is the next building. We had the standard twin room. Room size is OK as expected. The decor in our room more than made up for it. That was a really nice surprise. I love Fujisan and wood-block prints and we were going to visit Hokusai Museum in nearby Obuse the next day! Breakfast area is in front of the lifts. The hotel has a business hotel feel to it. I really enjoyed the buffet breakfast (probably my second favourite). Of all the places we stayed in on this trip, this is the only place with noodles, five grain rice and Asian greens. The Asian greens were served at room temperature with some special sauce, not plain. The sweet bread roll was very yummy. And if I remembered correctly, it even had apple cider vinegar! It also seemed that if you needed to, you could take breakfast with you as the hotel provided takeaway containers. The soup was already in takeaway containers. We definitely need more than two nights to explore Nagano!

Best room decor with buffet breakfast to match!

Budget motel with little service or hospitality, not catered for foreigners.

Key points that make up my rating:

- Staff attitude is poor from start of check in, right through. Basically got given room key and left. No explaination of facilites etc. Got to room there was on english instruction for things like wi-fi, aircon, safe deposit box. Rang reception and told to check instructions on TV screen which were so hard to navigate.

- Room is so tiny. Bare minimum facitities. Place is little dated and could do with a refurb. Cleanliness was ok. No drinking water in room, you have to go down to lobby and self service. 

- Location is good. Opposite train station about 3-5 mins walk. Nagano itself has not much attrations if you are not into going skiing. But thats not to do with this establishment.

- I saw a lot of locals business men coming and going. So I get the feel this is a place for local who come from out of town to do business. Perhaps if you are stopping a night or so before heading to a skii place or something then this might be suitable for just a room at a cheap price to get you by for the night. 

Considering we paid around $24000yen for 3 nights, it was ok. Can't expect too much for that price.


Not for foreigners

To me, a hotel is a place to leave your luggage when you're exploring, have a hot bath when you get back, and a comfortable bed to sleep in.

Toyoko Inn provides these three things in spades. I see no need to stay anywhere else when I'm in Japan.

As always, Toyoko Inn provides a good place to sleep

You hardly have any walking space as there is only about 40cm  gap between the bed and the wall. If you choose to hang your clothes on the wall hangers provided and you will have lesser walking space.  The bed provided for a single room accommodation is bigger than a super single which I suggest that the hotel should only provide a single bed and have more walking space rather than a big bed with no walking space and no room for cabin bags.  

Small room

The Toyoko Inn is a nice hotel for the price in Nagano not far from the train station. The rooms are clean and neat and the staff is For those who have a car, it has the car elevator! Breakfast is good and included with the room.

Good inexpensive hotel near the station and with a decent breakfast.

Clean comfortable and well located. Free wifi and breakfast. Staff always fabulous. One of the many Toyoko-inns we have stayed at in Japan. Washing machines and dryers clean and cheap for your laundry. Just the spot to rest your weary head after a day of exploring.
