Nagano Yudanaka Shimaya in Nagano, Japan

This is a great opportunity to experience a traditional Japanese hotel. The owner is really helpful and he can answer any questions you may have as well as recommend the local places to visit and eat in. He'll even drop you off and pick you up if needed. The monkey park and the outside mountain onsen - particularly at sunset - are a must! Free internet is also a bonus. Madeline, from England ~ 17th Apr 2009
