Guest House Honami-Kaido is located in Yamanouchi, 6.7 km from Jigokudani Monkey Park, 11 km from Ryuoo Ski Park, as well as 20 km from Suzaka City Zoo. With a garden, the 1-star bed and breakfast has air-conditioned rooms with free WiFi, each with a shared bathroom. Free private parking is available and the bed and breakfast also provides a shuttle service for guests who want to explore the surrounding area.

At first I was not sure if the previous comments were exaggerated, but it turned out they were not: my stay was amazing and one of my best experiences in Japan. A beautiful Japanese-style room all for myself, a delicious breakfast, and many cheerful conversations with Yoshiro-san. The mountains and garden are delighting, and the place is so quiet that I slept without earplugs. Being here off-season was also very relaxing: Monkey Park, Shibu-onsen, Hokusai-kan at Obuse, and so on, with no crowds at all. Yoshiro-san is a wonderful host and he generously gave me a ride to many places to see. Thank you so much Yoshiro-san!

    The onsens were perfect. As the property was quiet during our stay, we had the inside and outside onsen to ourselves. Restaurants not too far, and hosts were really lovely. We loved the traditional Japanese room with robes. Our hosts provided shuttle to and from the station, and took us to the monkey park which is a must see!

    It is set about a 10’ walk (slight uphill) from Yudanaka train station, and is a convenient base for visiting the snow monkeys, and onsens. Inspite of it being an old wooden house, it was calm and quiet; and I had most peaceful nights. The hosts were very caring and gave me good tips on places to visit.

    Best food on our trip - the host catered two delicious veggie meals for us with an amazing variety of japanese food in a beautiful tatami room. Still dreaming of it! The private onsen was a blast and our tatami room had cute chairs, traditional clothing to wear in the guesthouse and comfortable futons. They picked us up at the train station and drove us directly to the monkey park. Getting back from there by bus was easy. We were also driven to the train station next morning.

    A special charming place with very nice and interesting host in a green surrounding. We loved to have long walks through the countryside and enjoyed the onsen.

    It was wonderful to arrive in this location. Proximity to the Yumanaka train station is a clear bonus and the walk to the hotel is charming. Very kind hosts. The hotel is not 'new', but it has all the charm you would expect from a family run establishment. And the hot Japanese communal bath was amazing. When we were running late for the Snow Monkies, the owner drove us to the entrance to the park, even though we did not request him to. Kindness still rates much higher for me than anything else, hence I give it a five star.

    Mr & Mrs Yumoto are wonderful hosts and the guest house has a great location near to the station and all the amenities. The room was very comfortable, and we were happy to have a private onsen experience on location. Our complementary trip to see the snow monkeys with the complementary use of snow boots was a complete bonus especially as the snow was melting and there was lots of mud but such an amazing experience and was a highlight of our trip. Another wonderful small town we so happy that we visited.

    Yoshiro was a very accomodating host. In spite of the language, he never failed to communicate well with us and he cooked well. The guest house was charming and cozy and our room looked and felt authentic Japanese.
