Top hotels in Shizuma
Hotel Silk in Madarao
First off the reception has a strong stench of cigarette smoke. On check out the hotel demanded extra money than what was listed on the book page. They listed ¥150 per person per night which was fine however they wanted another ¥350 per person for heating cost!?!? Which was never listed during booking. ...

Hotel New Nagano NeXT
Excellent central hotel in Nagano, very close to the station (around 5 min walk). We checked in late after the Shinkansen from Tokyo and the process was quick and efficient. The breakfast was good and twinned with Wendy’s so there was the option of a burger as well. Clean and tidy hotel.

Hotel Metropolitan Nagano
Comfortable stay though room was quite small. The breakfast was incredible and has a very wide selection - the best breakfast options we had on our trip. Very convenient location just outside the station.
