中央館 清水屋旅館

こちらの旅館は、とても特殊な作りになっています。

トイレやお風呂は、共用のみのようですので、注意してください。
利用者も日本人を見かけませんでした。
外国の方に物凄く人気があるようです。
その為、ご主人夫婦は、休みたくても休めないと仰っていました。
兎に角古い旅館なので、その様な施設に興味がある方におすすめです。

一泊で使用。立地は抜群、増築に増築を重ねた造りやレトロ感は秀逸、女将さんも話好きで楽しめた。その裏腹で、水回りの脆弱性は減点せざるを得ない。共同トイレ、洗面は未だしも、客室フロアの洗面はお湯が出ない、女性お風呂のシャワーが究極的に弱い(タンク容量が小さく、湯沸かしが追いつかないとか？)など。
総合的には、楽しめた一夜だった。

Beautiful Traditional Ryokan in Amazing Location

I loved the authenticity of this Ryokan. The couple that ran the ryokan was very sweet and spoke to me most times I came and went from my room. The husband even drove me to the Nagano Station because I had 3 suitcases and looked like I was struggling. So kind! The only thing that I wasn't thrilled with was the curfew. I was working remotely from my room on my computer during Chicago hours (-13 hours) so I needed a snack in the middle of the night and felt uncomfortable unlocking the door to go grab some food. The location was amazing and super close to Zenko-ji so I went 3 days in a row. Also two doors down from the best oyaki place ever!

古風の宿

増築後100年の建物ゆえ当然断熱材ゼロにて2月の朝、屋内でも廊下は4度C。共用の洗面所にお湯の出ぬ為、歯磨き時にはやや辛いモノ有り。
外国人からは恐らく伝統的の旅館と評さるるか、と。

歴史を感じる建物だが、宿泊者のためのメンテナンスがちゃんとしていた。

家族旅行 2019年04月14日

とても清潔な旅館。朝ご飯も美味しい。

伝統のある建物をあれだけ手入れをして営業している事に敬服しました。お部屋にトイレが無いです。寒い季節でしたので室内の洗面は水を止めて有りましたが、不便は承知の上です。自宅の様に過ごしました。
ただ、玄関がもう少しスッキリしていれば、印象が上がると思うので、残念です。

2019年02月13日

古い建物を丁寧に使っているところが良かったです。立地も善光寺参道でとても良い。清掃も行き届いていて清潔でした。食事は薄味ですがおいしかった。
女風呂のシャワーの出が悪かったのが残念。

作りが文化的でとても良いのですが、年配の方は階段が大変と感じました。その他、食事等とても配慮頂き良かったです

ちょっと？

①女性トイレの紙が無かった。
②一泊なのに、500円と言われていた駐車料金が1000円取られた。気分的に？

気に入りました。

昭和感のある建物ですが、改装により部屋はきれいで、快適に過ごすことが出来ました。
ぜひまた利用したいと思います。

年配者の宿泊は難しいです。

階段が急すぎて母はお風呂を断念しました。また、宿泊客の大学生が朝まで騒いで眠れませんでした。

This is an authentic old-style ryokan with welcoming hosts who treat their guests like family. The building is very old and, being wooden construction, creaky and drafty, but also charming. The onsen was exceptionally clean and a wonderful first time experience for us. The breakfast was beautifully presented and delicious, with a variety of offerings we had never before encountered. We are westerners in our early 70s and were a little worried about sleeping on futons on the tatami mat covered floor, but we both slept well and appreciated this truly Japanese experience in the lovely city of Negano.

enjoy Japanese tradition

I had a wonderful stay at this traditional Japanese ryokan. The couple that runs it is lovely. It was just a bit of an adjustment from having modern amenities and an ensuite bathroom but I wanted the real experience and I got it! Definitely recommended.

2025年04月25日

164 year old ryokan and sixth generation family running it! Shows it age but hosts were great and the breakfast was really nice.

Before booking, I'd really recommend looking up all of the etiquette required when staying at a Ryokan. You really need to know what to expect before getting there, as I feel like this is among the most traditional you'll find in Nagano. But if you've learnt all of that, and you're up for it, this is a perfect stay. The hosts are incredibly welcoming and hospitable. But don't expect any English, and make sure you know the Ryokan rules.

カップルで旅行 2025年03月31日

The Ryokan was beautiful, clean, comfortable, and conveniently located in Nagano, and the owners were extremely kind and helpful. We loved our stay there!

子供連れの家族旅行 2025年03月27日

Lovely Ryokan in the historic area of Nagano. Perfect spot to experience true Japanese hospitality.

A peaceful and calming stay. Charming hosts and what a spread at the japanese breakfast, a lot of work went into it.

Excellent stay at this traditional Ryoken

It was a fabulous opportunity to stay at a traditional Ryoken and treated with Japanese hospitality. The location was also perfect and we could walk to the temple any many of the best restaurants which our hosts easily knew! So grateful.

Los dueños muy amables

2025年02月27日

In the middle of it all, it’s a hostel type property but don’t let that discourage you. Lovely couple that welcome you and help you with whatever you need. Location is amazing with a short walk to the temple and to all eateries. Room is cozy, overall I loved the experience

2025年02月17日

Very old, but cute Ryokan. Highly recommended.

Very nice Ryokan cared for by a cute elderly couple. The place is old and this is noticeable from how it looks. It's not run down by any means, but looks and sounds like it has had a long history. The elderly couple have been a joy, despite the very limited English they know. The bath felt amazing after long days Exploring. The only thing to be aware of are the hard futons.

I highly recommend staying here if you want a Ryokan experience in Nagano that doesn't break the bank.

2025年02月01日

It was a great and affordable ryokan! The couple who own the ryokan was kind and assisted us as much as they could. It was kinda cold but the rooms were heated properly. Overall great stay!

Excellent place to get the traditional Japanese experience.

Great to experience a Ryokan stay at a reasonable price. Superior service by a very nice couple. Highly reccomended!!

子供連れの家族旅行 2025年01月09日

This seemed like a very traditional, well cared for, old, lodge. Couple who run it are very hospitable with many unique features such as tea service, slippers, large breakfast, linens, hot hand packs provided etc.
Cold and dark. Thin walls. Shared washing and toilets.

We enjoyed our stay

Toilet Bidet not working!!!

I rarely leaves review. This is one of those time that I thing leaving a proper review let others make good decision. First, the good thing. The property is very near to main attraction. In walking distance. Now, the not so nice things. 1. The place is so cold. Our family is left shivering whenever we get out of the room. And the toilet is not inside the room. 2. This is a very old property. So, very steep stairs to negotiate especially if you have heavy luggage. 3. The so call "hot spring" is really so so. Dont be trick by the picture that is shown. Also, the bath room is so cold as it is winter, Not enough heating. 4. finally, the men's toilet bidet is not working. This is the first time ever I encounter a bidet in Japan that is not working. A very disappointing stay and also a very expensive one. Definitely not worth what we paid for.

Chuoukan Shimizuya Ryokan is a historical building in a convenient location. It is a 10 minute walk to the famous Zenkōji Temple and only 1 minute from the locals' favourite ramen and tonkatsu.

However, the highlight of this Ryokan are the hosts. They made every effort to make us feel welcome and comfortable, despite the language barrier.

I strongly recommend staying at Chuoukan Shimizuya Ryokan if you value culture and coziness.

the couple who owns it are so so nice and lovely.

3 weeks before traveling to Nagano, we suffer a great loss from my father passing away. We wrote to this ryokan to cancel or change the dates. None of this options were avaliable and they didn't respond. We also call by telephone and a really rude and unpolite guy answer and didn't gave us any option or alternative dates to book with them. Terrible.

2024年10月27日

This Ryokan was perfectly located on the main street in Nagano.

This Ryokan is very old, and has very steep stairs. Toilets are located on various floors between main floors. Bath only open 7-9am then again in the evening.

Tatami mats were comfortable, and street side views windows were lovely.

カップルで旅行 2024年10月07日

My stay at the Ryokan was nothing short of exceptional. The hosts went above and beyond in every way, ensuring that our experience was both comfortable and memorable. From the moment we arrived, they greeted us with warmth and genuine hospitality, making us feel like family. Every detail was thoughtfully taken care of. Highly recommended.

Le couple qui tient l’auberge est aux petits soins avec leurs invités

グループ旅行 2024年08月17日

Une auberge vraiment traditionnelle, parfaitement bien située, avec un accueil chaleureux et plein de petites touches attentionnées, comme un yukata coloré spécialement pour les enfants et du thé qui nous attendait à notre arrivée. Comme dans tout ryokan traditionnel, les douches sont à même le onsen. Mais comme l'auberge est somme toute petite, nous étions toujours seuls.

Nous avons adoré!

家族旅行 2024年07月05日

Awesome

子供連れの家族旅行 2024年06月26日

Le lieu est typique et très beau. Le ryokan est géré par un couple adorable, aux petits soins pour ses clients. Le onsen en fin de journée nous a fait beaucoup de bien et la nuit a été très calme. Merci beaucoup aux hôtes pour leur hospitalité !

2024年05月02日

This is the perfect place to stay if you would like to try a traditional ryokan. Everything was amazing and I want to go back here again!

カップルで旅行 2024年04月23日

I stayed for 5 days and it was an outstanding experience in a ryokan. The staff was excellent and the location couldn’t be better. I highly recommend this when in Nagano.

2024年04月14日

We had three kids with us, and we were treated so well. It was so much fun!

子供連れの家族旅行 2024年04月10日

We loved everything 😍 our only challenge were the steep stairs but we did it! やった!

The property is in a good location, very close to Zeno-ji on the main street, and is easily accessible either by a local bus or taxi. The building has an old charm and guests can get some idea of what it was like to live in a traditional Japanese house. The dinner is not offered, but a traditional Japanese breakfast is lovingly prepared and served by the owner’s wife. This ryokan is a nice place to experience some Japanese cultures.

子供連れの家族旅行 2024年03月31日

Really enjoyed this Ryokan! We were hoping to have a traditional Ryokan experience while in Japan and this was perfect. The couple managing the property were very kind and attentive. The location is also very handy (right on the main street between Nagano station and Zenkoji temple). Highly recommend staying here.

家族旅行 2024年03月15日

Gorgeous elderly couple. Very attentive and helpful. Old and authentic place. We loved it. Traditional breakfast was great.

カップルで旅行 2024年03月10日

Outstanding Ryokan. Thankyou

Outstanding. What a wonderful Ryokan to stay in. All reviews about the lovely couple who own and run the place are true. They are truly kind and attentive. Comfortable and cozy. It has been a very special moment on our Japan travels. Thankyou so much

The hotel is amazing. Literally it's out of an anime -like spirited away. When wandering around Nagano one day, one of the restaurants we ate for dinner asked where we were staying. After telling them they said, "that's a very famous ryokan your staying at." And I wasn't sure why until staying there. It was a perfect traditional Japanese ryokan, what you would purposefully come to Japan for. The stairway up and around to our room was very much like all the different stairways in spirited away. Loved the experience. Our room was also spacious and very traditional. There is no private bathroom and the toilet is separate, the washing area for brushing teeth was also public and the shower is where you would onsen. It's definitely an experience. The only thing was the water was consistently cold when washing face, hands or brushing teeth but because of how great they were I would still rate it highest because of what they exceled at. We loved how neat, tidy and diligent the staff was. It was family - and they made it feel completely welcome and warm. They were the sweetest to our son who can be a handful but that's how they showed they care. We loved it. It was also super convenient and great how everything was close by. Not like Tokyo, a little more like some of the streets in Kyoto. We wish we stayed there longer. Will definitely suggest to anyone staying and will definitely come back for a long stay next time we are in Japan.

This is a very tradition Japanese house. The only concern is the climbing of stairs. If you are a person with mobility, it will be a better choice for you to choose another place as there's no elevator.
