Cozy hotel, right by the Ichinose Family ski area. The staff is absolutely amazing, 100% focus on making your stay pleasant. We went there for a ski trip and it was really convenient. The public bath is great for after skiing, and both dinner and breakfast buffets were excellent, with many good quality choices.

We stayed in the caravan, which was a trailer home on the slope. We could almost ski directly from it. The place was well set up for people who want to make their own food, of which we brought a lot. It had a big refrigerator, microwave and electric kettle. We ate on the floor from the coffee table, but there was a sofa that you could also eat on. The trailer had its own internet router which worked very well for streaming Netflix; something not typical for Japanese ski resorts. The hot water heater worked very well as well, meaning nice hot showers. The room had a small bath but there was a small but clean indoor hot tub at the hotel that is free to use. The place is very close to the Ichinose bus stop. You can take the bus for free to any Shiga Kogen area slope. But frankly it was not necessary as we were already right on the slope.

Breakfast was great with lots of options. The staff were so lovely and very willing to assist with rides to see the snow monkeys, as well as picking us up at the train station and dropping us at the bus stop for the ski bus. They also provided space in the lobby to store skis.

It was lovely! The food was good. They took into consideration our allergies. They have private and public onsens; indoo4 and outdoor. The tatami room was just like picture. They had buckwheat pillows. It was 10 min? walk to see the monkeys. Quiet.

Wonderful wonderful stay! From the moment you enter this beautiful place you enter another world to immerse yourself in a traditional Japanese setting. Leave your shoes at the door and slip on provided slippers. Escorted to your room and given your sized Yukata robe for wearing around the hotel and meals and Onsen. You absolutely must sign up for the half board meals. We were met at the floor 2 elevator stop by our personal waiter. He showed us to our private dining room and brought course after course of delightful foods (artfully presented and many delightful tastes). Some things we recognized but most we did not, but it as all good. We reserved a private Onsen each evening at 10pm that was the perfect ending of the day. We’re in our 70s so we opted for the traditional bedroom and the beds were comfortable and we slept well. We decided to walk to and from the Monkey park but could have taken the hotel shuttle. On our arrival and departed the hotel transported us from/to the train station. (Hint, the little coffee shop (Tea Salon Milano) directly across the major street from the little train station has excellent coffee and cheese cake). We can’t wait to go back to Wafu-no-Yado MASULA! We really hated to leave this wonderful place where we felt pampered by the staff.

Akira and Yumi are both extremely nice and lovely hosts . Akira picked us up at train station and delivered us back after our three night stay . He also dropped us at Snow Monkey park where we saw so many Macaques, many females either newly born babies . The Japanese breakfasts are amazing, so delish! The onsen is very nice and can be used privately which I did every day. I can highly recommend this property . Walking around Yamanouchi was so nice too, a beautiful little town in the Japanese mountains.

Might be better in winter, but in spring only thing to see was monkey park, and that only takes a few hours ( mostly travel time) as it isn’t very big. I was of impression it was a whole mountain, but it is just one small area you see the monkeys from.
I’d suggest staying in nagano which was nice, and coming to Yamanouchi for a morning.

While Yamanouchi is known for its proximity to snow monkeys, it wasn't what stood out to me about the area. The snow monkeys just have too many tourists to be truly enjoyable. Yamanouchi has beautiful mountain views, charming winding streets with quirky decorations, and onsen hopping among different ryokans is something to look forward to. If you look behind the main street, you'll see many stairways leading to many shrines. We had dinner at a sushi restaurant ran by an elderly couple, on traditional tatami floors. It felt like eating at someone's house, and they absolutely stuffed us with delicious sushi. Two nights would probably be the best to fully wind down.

Amazing amount of terrain in the ski fields.
Amazing amount of terrain in the ski fields. Need to have better maps (in English) available for the runs. A (live) board showing which lifts and runs are open would be great, prior to entering the areas.
The snow was amazing!!!!
Restaurants were good however the area appeared to be directed at locals (Japanese) rather than tourists. We had to do a lot of work to find somewhere to eat.
It would be great to have some public onsens available in the area.

Our stay at a ryokan just couple miles from Snow Monkey Park...
Our stay at a ryokan just couple miles from Snow Monkey Park was the absolute highlight of a trip filled with highlights. Specifically we stayed at Onyado Hishiya Torazo, and loved everything about it - the room, the food, the staff, and the oh so relaxing onsen! We made the mistake of only booking one night and the short turn around combined with outside temps down in the low 20’s (F) meant we never did try any of the public onsen. Trust me - two days here is the minimum!
Snow Monkey Park ended up being another highlight (and between my wife and I, we have about 1,000 pictures to prove it!). Before going we were concerned that it might seem contrived at best and a bad situation for the monkeys at worst. But they were absolutely there of their own free will and happily making use of the large onsen on a cold winter’s day. Get there early - we got there about an hour after opening and wished we’d been an hour earlier. It started to fill up about 20 minutes after we got there.
Here’s the weird thing, and the only downside - and I don’t quite know how to explain it. The town was basically closed! And we were there Jan 26-27, a decent snow had fallen a couple days earlier and a light snow fell the morning of the 27th. I thought this would be big tourist season, but we barely saw another sole in town. And those few we did see were almost all tourists out taking pictures in their yukata. This made for a very quiet morning, which was great. But we had planned to pick up our luggage at the ryokan after visiting the monkey park and meander through town stopping to eat, drink, or shop as we made our way to the train station. But nothing was open so we caught an earlier train and ate in Nagano while waiting for our Shinkansen.

The Ryokan Biyunoyado was just fabulous.
The Ryokan Biyunoyado was just fabulous. They have shuttle bus to and from station. also to the snow monkeys.We were late and they returned to station to collect us. Onsens were great. The food was amazing and plenty of it. Japanese style room was very comfortable and beds made up when we were at dinner. Definitely stay here when you come to see the snow monkeys. it’s the best.

Its a great spot for visiting the snow monkeys and a quick snow board at Ryuoo Ski Resort. A walk through the older Shibu Onsen town is also fun for people who like that. We went to three different restaurants in the town and they were all good.
The negatives were that the roads and paths were slippery with ice, so bring appropriate footware if visiting in winter (although your hotel might have some).
Almost all places were cash only.
Absolutely wonderful ryokan. The staff was extremely hospitable and kind towards us and spoke great English. The meals we had for dinner and breakfast were excellent. The private onsen baths were phenomenal with a few different kinds on-site. We were also given a key to visit other public onsens if we so wished. The area is great as well in a quiet little town near attractions like the snow monkey park (which the ryokan staff are willing to arrange transport to as well).
Great location. Staff went above and beyond. We didn’t notice that we left a portable battery in our room and we were already on our train when suddenly a lady from the hotel comes running with the item we forgot. Definitely WOW customer service and honesty. Breakfast and dinner were excellent. Very nice Ryokan experience. It’s nice that they offer pick up and drop off service to train station and also to the snow monkey park.
Yes, it is a dated hotel. However, the value, location, friendly staff and nightly dinner buffets more than make up for it. Conveniently located across the Tagamagahara lifts and near the bus/shuttle stops. Hotel will also aid with your Yamato/Ta-q-bin delivery/pickup needs. We booked a private bathroom room and it was very roomy with enough space/storage for 4 of us. Would stay here again.
The hotel has the Japanese architecture style which is brilliant and the rooms are amazingly spacious. We had mountain views and it was spectacular to wake up and see the snow fall outside our window.
The staff members are fabulous and liking to help with anything we asked for.
The breakfast is delicious on both options, Japanese and western.
Loved everything about this hotel.
The Staff at Shibu Hotel were wonderfully attentive & helpful during our stay. We booked the kaiseki dinner & breakfast which were both delicious! The town & property are lovely & we enjoyed walking around & relaxing in the different onsen. We also booked the private open air onsen which is new and absolutely gorgeous. We truly enjoyed our stay here!!
We liked the onsen baths, nice Japanese buffet breakfast with western (cereal, toast, and pastry) options, location 2 minutes walk to chairlifts, and Teppa Room! We also enjoyed the kaiseki dinner for my husband's birthday. Ichinose is a good area to stay if you want to try dinners at restaurants outside of your hotel.
Cozy hotel, right by the Ichinose Family ski area. The staff is absolutely amazing, 100% focus on making your stay pleasant. We went there for a ski trip and it was really convenient. The public bath is great for after skiing, and both dinner and breakfast buffets were excellent, with many good quality choices.
The hotel entrance, common area, room, onsen, and kitchen all are exceptionally very nice. The public onsen water was very hot and had all the things. I could enjoy it. If you go late in the night or the morning not many people will be there and you can get the feeling of a private bath.
The host was very friendly, and the hotel was good value, the breakfast,,while simple was also cheap and sufficient.
The ability to use the private outdoor Onsen was an opportunity not to be missed...as we had few a t views over the town at sunset.
Reasonable price for such a good location and two private onsens. Old school feel, don't expect modern amenities but everything you could want will be provided like a tv, kettle, and microwave. Short walking distance to all the onsens of Yamanouchi.
so friendly. delicious meals. Small family run ryokan it is located on the quiet small road in the middle of the 9 Onsens popular to visit and do a stamp rally. it is opposite a hotel that looks like it is from Ghibli’s Spirited Away movie.
Position, so close to the ski lifts, the hotel staff were helpful and pleasant although only a few could speak English. The food was really good with a mixture of Japanese and Western food. The onsen was really a bonus after a days skiing.
Great hotel, closest to the entrance of the 1.8km walk to the monkeys.
Staff were great. All very helpful.
Shuttle bus service efficient.
Onsen nice both indoor & outdoor options.
Good WiFi.
Japanese breakfast amazing.
Ski location is very good. Ski in, ski out. That is about the only positive thing about this Hotel. Staff gentle and cooperative, in spite of being very stressed, considering the large number of guest they have to attend
Located very close to Yudanaka Station, responsive staff, well heated room, indoor Onsen and sauna included. Inside the hotel there is an Izakaya restaurant on 1st floor
