Kataoka Hotels, Shiojiri

"I came with little expectations, but was really pleased with this hotel. The outdoor onsen is really nice. The corridor is a bit noisy when someone walks by. Some dust and spider webs in the top shelfs but nothing really bad"

"The resort is surrounded by nature, very quiet and peaceful - perfect if that’s what you’re looking for. It can be a bit inconvenient without a car, but there’s a bus stop right in front of the hotel that runs at specific times and goes to the nearest train station, Shiojiri. The owner was very kind and even offered to pick me up and drop me off at the station, and he also took me to visit the old town, Narai-juku.

The only nicer point was hot spring with good scene"

"Exceptional one-of-a-kind stay. Every detail thought of. We stayed in the Annex room and was blown away. Soak in the history and energy at this magical place! Excellent restaurant as well."

"Amazing stay at this ryokan. The place is very quiet and zen. The onsen is great with indoor/outdoor spaces. I recommanded strongly"

"I stayed at this hotel for the Norikura HC event. The hotel prepared a very early breakfast for the visitors. It was very nice. But there was one thing that was disappointing. It was parking problem. When I checked-in, it was already full, so staff let me know 2nd/3rd parkings. But map was so complicated, that's why I tired to look for them. If the problem is releafed, I'd like to stay (at 2025 Norikura HC?) again."

"Cool space inside a café. Lovely staff to welcome and fairness us. Great supermarket over the road and short walk to awesome cherry blossom area."
