4 Star Hotels in Okaya, Nagano Prefecture

"Great hotel and friendly staff"

"An excellent resort for an unique onsen experience and variety of food. This property is popular amongst travellers with young kids."

"Our stay at Byaku was one of the most memorable experiences on our Japan trip. The hotel exemplifies Japanese artistry in so many ways, from hospitality to cuisine to design. It was a unique opportunity to stay in an historic region in a beautifully renovated historic Japanese structure. "

"Terrific hospitality, made us feel right at home before it was even time to check in. Worth every penny."

"A really old-fashioned Japanese onsen experience like nothing else. We ate in the Japanese restaurant one night and French the other evening. The food was fantastic. Rooms were comfortable but old fashioned. I would highly recommend the room with a private onsen - we saw tanuke (Japanese raccoon dogs) approach whilst we were bathing which was a really special experience. We hiked to the ridge (5 hours return) through a beautiful forest."

"All the outdoor furniture (table and benches) on the terrace (including the wood deck) were completely covered in yellowish dusty pollen and had to be cleaned in order to be used. We sat down unknowingly and our clothes got really dirty from all the pollen. The rubber outdoor sandals were only one size and too small. I’m a womens US size 9 or 39 European size. I had enormous trouble signing into my YouTube account on the tv, which wasn’t the case last time I stayed at a different Rakuten stay...

"It's a very comfortable facility, although the hotel looks old. "

"The area, and the Lodge itself, are relaxing in a natural setting. Just like Upstate New York. Hike, ski or read a book on the balcony. "
