Top hotels in Takai
Hotel New Nagano NeXT
Amenity choices are wide. The frontdesk staff is super polite and efficient. The location and parking area is closed to main train station which is very convenient. The parking fee is ¥800 which is even lower than some smaller city. Good deal!

Hotel JAL City Nagano
Breakfast was great as it is located on the top floor and you have a wonderful view of the mountains. Staff are very friendly and helpful. Rooms are pretty small but typical of Japan

Shiga Kogen Prince Hotel
Mercure Nagano Matsushiro Resort & Spa
Absolutely terrible I highly recommend not staying. Everything broken and old, destroyed furniture and walls, mold growing out of the vents, terrible water pressure, beds with broken springs, over crowded, no nearby restaurant options, terrible quality, extremely overpriced.
