The hotel has more to offer besides its location and activities. It has 6 restaurant, all with a different cuisine; French (Boulanger), Italian (Dono Dono), Chinese (Karin), traditional Japanese (Tsukasa), and Teppanyaki (Sakura). Breakfast is a buffet with various options of western and Japanese foods.

The hotel being so close to Zenko-ji Temple, one of Japan’s major pilgrimage destinations, let’s you explore the temple to your heart’s content. One thing we would like to recommend now you’re so close-by anyways, is to wake up before first sunlight, and partake in the morning service. This is quite an experience with the chanting of Buddhist prayers, the ceremonial movements of the head priest, and the walking of the Tunnel to the Key to Paradise. Definitely a must-see.

If you’d like to experience a real Japanese hot spring, Uruoikan is a nice onsen facility located next to Nagano’s main river. The facility is located within 10 minutes walking distance from Hotel Kokusai 21, and is the only hot spring that is 100% natural hot spring and is very popular amongst locals. It has a lovely outdoor bath, indoor bath, and sauna facilities. If you also would like to explore Zenko-ji Temple and Onsen in quick and efficient way, a free rental bicycle service is available for Hotel Kokusai 21’s guests.
