This is a no frills property. The owner will give u an introduction really quickly. The room is really big tho. The property is about 8min walk from the chuusha bus stop, there is a mini slope along the way too. I ordered breakfast and dinner with my stay since togakushi restaurants generally close really early. I think the food is basic, its certainly not a spread. With the price paid, i think its ok

The shower is shared showering. The changing area is right by the door. So if someone enters the changing area and u are changing, i feel like passerby could see too much of you.

Good location for weekend skiing when the lift behind the property is operating then it’s ski in ski out . The manager will drive you to the slopes on other days . Rooms are great large Japanese style. Food very Japanese . Discount lift tickets can be bought from the hotel.

Not many other places to eat if you want a change .

The location was a few minutes walk to Togakushi-Jinja, and 6 minutes from Togakushi Shrine Okusha (Main Shrine) The Great Torii Gate. Friendly staff with newly renovated property. The owner gave me an amazing recommendation to eat at the Nagano Forest Village.

Simple, down to earth minshuku in an amazing area, super convenient to walk around the 5 Togakushi Shrines. Rooms are very clean and spacious. Food was simple yet delicious.

Floors made noises

Supper was amazing!

Nothing

Decent place to spent your night in Togakushi area.

There's not much with an English-speaking web presence in Togakushi, so options are limited. Minshuku Rindo got the job done of giving us a place to rest our heads while hiking around the 5 shrines. The room had a little entry area to put our bags, which was actually really nice (the other 2 ryokans visited in other places in Japan didn't have that). The food was sufficient. The area was really lovely and worth the visit!

Minshuku Rindo was fine, but pretty expensive for what it was. It was a bit hard to find, coming from the bus stop at Chusha shrine... not a short walk (I'm glad we left our bigger rolling suitcases in the coin lockers at Nagano station!) The building was rather old and a bit shabby. The food was sufficient, but not delicious. Bath towels and yukata cost extra. Almost none of the shops or restaurants in town were open (I guess winter is the main tourist season?), so I wish we'd taken a minute to pick up some groceries/snacks while in Nagano.

Super cheap hostel Spacious room can host up to 5 people ~ ideal for families. Free parking Good location

A single person managing everything. Pointed me to my room without a word when I showed up and that was about it ~ but the poor lady does what she can. Sheets were super thin, and since the pillow/futton aren't cleaned up every time it didn't feel very clean. Bath was dirty so don't count on it. You can get cheap low-quality towels for the bath for 100 yen a piece. Noise from other groups.

Although we mostly communicated through Google translate, everyone was extremely friendly and hospitable. They even drove me to the bus station to help me with a big bag in the snow. Dinners were delicious, a plus since there isn't much open after about 5 o 6pm. The room was large, clean and had plenty of extra space for bags. It's a cool experience to stay in a typical ryokan in a little village.

The futon was really thin, which may be difficult for westerners. I stacked a few on top of another to pad. Not much else to note.
