the food was good 'cafateria' style appropriate to the mainly student patronage, but not memorable in any way.
the staff tried really hard to respond to my needs despite the language and cultural gap.
the place is well located on the snow line making chairlift access v easy.

This was our third visit to this property.
Fantastic ski in ski out location.
Staff very helpful, and more and more speak English.
High standard of room amenities available to select in the foyer - body lotion, face masks etc.
First time staying on a lower floor not in “comfort room 5F” and it was totally fine.
Great views from the picture window out over the snow.
Excellent to be able to do some laundry - washers free, driers very reasonably priced. BYO detergent.

The included breakfast was great, though it would be great if there was a little variety from day to day. Staff were fantastic (including gorgeous golden retriever who sought out pats from everyone). The suites were large which was great for a group who benefited from two separate sleeping areas. Comfy beds. Very convenient location next to the Yamanoeki as well as ski in / ski out access (it took a few days to work this out however, overall Shiga Kogen is confusing on first arrival). The hotel's onsen area is amazing, great after a day of skiing. As a side trip visit the Monkey Park! It's a long walk in but worth it.

Great location, a short walk from the main slope. Bus stop is pretty much just out front. The rooms are basic but comfortable, and ours was actually fairly big. Good buffet breakfast in the main hall. Also has an onsen which we used regularly. There is a ski gear hire place in the basement. Good value for money accommodation relative to other ski fields in Nagano prefecture.
As a word of advice, there aren't many independant places open for dinner in Shiga Kogen - a lot of the local visitors eat dinner in the hotels and the dinner service finishes early by western standards for ski areas. And on a Sunday night barely anything was open! So if you have young kids, or hungry adults, you need to lock in reservations ahead of time, or book in at the hotels.

Might be better in winter, but in spring only thing to see...
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.
Nestled in the heart of the town, Hotel Hosei offers a delightful blend of elegance and comfort. From the moment I stepped off the train, I was greeted with a warm welcome and impeccable service from the staff. The stylishly appointed traditional Japanese rooms coupled with the rooms' personal onsen, attentive staff and convenient location, made for an unforgettable stay. Whether you're visiting for business or pleasure, Henn na is sure to exceed your expectations and leave you longing for a return visit.
