Mountain View Hotels in Achi

"There are two large public baths, which are exquisitely decorated and have a foot bath overlooking the garden. The hotel parking lot is right next to the market, which is very convenient. Surprisingly, there are paper cranes at check out, which is convenient for stargazing/sea of ​​clouds. The dining room is super large."

"I especially like this small place of hot spring hotels. Where do I want to go and tell the staff that he arranged a car to send me there. The little boy smiles super cute. There is a Guanyin Bodhisattva in the open-air hot spring. Sitting in the hot spring at night and enjoying the fifteenth moon, although the stars are too bright. The stars can faintly see some. At night, I walked on the bank of Azhichuan embankment and listened to the sound of the river. Looking at the dark yellow lights of the hotel, I walked to the foot of the mountain and the moon to see the Big Dipper. It is not so convenient to go from Tokyo. But the victory is that there are few people and the experience is good. Let's go to stargazing in winter when you have the opportunity."

"I would like to take a moment to express my sincere appreciation for the excellent service provided by one of your hotel staff members, Ito-san. During my stay in Hirugami No-Mori, Ito-San went above and beyond to ensure that our experience at your onsen/hotel was a memorable one. Despite the language barrier, Ito-san's attentive nature and willingness to go above and beyond to assist me in navigating the area made a significant difference in my stay. Her use of Google Translate to communicate with us was impressive and demonstrated her dedication to providing top-notch service. I was thoroughly impressed with her professionalism, positive attitude, and exceptional customer service skills, which were evident in every interaction I had with her. Her talent is remarkable, and I hope that your hotel will continue to support and develop her professionally. Please convey my heartfelt appreciation to Ito-san, and please recognize her outstanding work. She is a true asset to your onsen/hotel, and I look forward to visiting again in the future. Thank you for providing me with a memorable experience, and I wish you and your team continued success."

"The hotel has a parking lot. In addition, the hotel can go to the starry sky cable car event for the same day to cooperate with me. The dinner for the same day will be provided within 15 minutes. The staff is also very polite."

"I stayed at Qingfengyuan again this year. I feel very good. The service is － flow. I especially thank Oriyama, Makino, Yo and Itsubo san for arranging transportation, check-in, tourism and food for many of us. Thank you very much! Extremely recommended!"

"📍 Hotel Keigetsu 信州昼神温泉郷 日長庵 桂月 @ Hirugami Onsen, Nagano 🇯🇵 We stayed 3D2N from 13 November 2025 at Hotel Keigetsu (日長庵 桂月), and it turned out to be one of the best choices for our Nakasendo trip. The ryokan sits in a peaceful corner of Hirugami Onsen, surrounded by nature and traditional Japanese charm. There is a designated parking area exclusively for guests, accommodating around 15-20 cars of all sizes, making it very convenient for self-drive travellers. We chose a Japanese-style room with a private bathroom, and the highlight was the beautiful wooden bathtub — perfect for a relaxing soak in complete privacy. In the mornings, the view from our room was calm and peaceful, with gentle bird chirping adding to the serene atmosphere. Our stay included breakfast and dinner, and both meals were exceptional. Each dish was beautifully prepared using seasonal ingredients, and the servers were patient and friendly, taking time to explain each course and share stories about local flavours. Their warm hospitality truly enhanced the dining experience. The ryokan is within walking distance to the Morning Market, just about 10 minutes away, making it an enjoyable little morning stroll. There is also a FamilyMart right beside the ryokan, just a short walk away — extremely convenient for drinks, snacks, or last-minute essentials during your stay. The staff also introduced several nearby activities and hiking trails, and the routes are super visitor-friendly, making this ryokan an ideal base for exploring the Nakasendo area. The onsen baths were another highlight — soothing, clean, and filled with Hirugami’s famously smooth, skin-friendly hot spring water. Perfect for unwinding every evening. Overall, Hotel Keigetsu offers excellent food, warm service, relaxing onsen, comfortable rooms, and unbeatable convenience, whether you’re here for onsen relaxation or the Nakasendo trail. Highly recommended for a peaceful, authentic, and memorable ryokan stay in Nagano. ♨️🍁🌿✨"
