    The couple who runs this ryokan is lovely and their inn provides an authentic feel that allows you to appreciate the culture. Their private onsen was our favorite among the town's public onsens. Great experience. Great location. Great people!

    This was a beautiful Ryokan to stay at. The rooms were big and had an en suite toilet and sink. The hosts were absolutely lovely, picking us up from the station and bringing us to the monkey park, monitoring the camera at the park to make sure there were monkeys for us to see so as not to be disappointed. We had their traditional Japanese breakfast, which was delicious and set us up perfectly for the day. It's just axros the road from onsen Nr. 3 of the 9 onsen to visit, and they give you a key to access them all. I can only recommend this Ryokan. I'll try and return here again.

    The couple running this traditional spot was friendly and helpful. I came to see the snow monkeys and they monitored the park's webcam for me, let me know when the monkeys arrived, and drove me right up to the park. One morning the only local breakfast spot was closed and the wife gave me some of the breakfast she had made. They picked me up and dropped me off at the local train station. All of this was no extra charge. I really appreciate their helpfulness and flexibility. The room was large, clean and had a nice sink and toilet area attached. The private onsen on site was lovely.

    The windows were hidden behind curtains and could have been a bit more inviting for some fresh air and light into the room.

    The couple running the Ryokan is absolutely cute, forthcoming and accommodating, providing a shuttle to/from the station and to the monkey forest, and they tried their best at speaking english. The room was spacious, traditional with Yukatas and the Ryokan provided a female, male and private bath, as well as tea, coffee and a map to find around. The town Yudanaka is small and lovely with an amazing sunset. Overall loved the old, traditional vibe.

    Great accomodation in a beautiful town. Room was very clean and spacious, facilities are great. There are shared showers and osnens (gender separated) and one private onsen. We were lucky as we were the only visitors at the time. We enjoyed the town’s onsen-towel stamp hunt! The owner was incredibly nice and even gave us a ride to the train station after our check-out. Deffinitely recommend this ryokan.

    Nothing, it was a great experience!

    Location fantastic, the back door leads to the street with the 9 onsens. Slippers are provided for indoors, worden slippers can be found by the backdoor. The owners are lovely people! The husband aka driver takes you everywhere with good advices on the way, the wife runs the ryokan with precision. They are both quite good at english and clearly prepared for forehand tourists. They show simple maps that lay out the onsens and restaurants, and drive you to and from the monkeypark (at the time you like, you can sent them a message and they will come take you back to the hotel). The rooms are spacious and everything you need is inside (private washingsink and western style toilet, easy safe, table), though the showers are inside the private onsens (1 indoor for women, 1 indoor for men, 1 outdoor mixed but for one person or group at a time - you can go inside it the key is available and lock it). The outdoor onsen is the best of the whole town...!! Quirky decor finishes the experience.

    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!

    Beautifull house, excelent owners. Classic japonese house, with own onsen (there is even a private one, where I could relax together with my husband). They provide yukatas, japonese shoes and even kimonos in your stay! I just loved everything! And they take you in the train station (when you are arriving and leaving). Just awsome stay! 100% recommend.

    The staff were the best of all our stays in Japan, guided us in English, and drove us between the station, ryokan, and monkey park. Also very responsive to messages. The private bath is a rotenburo, extremely comfortable. Multiple mattresses were stacked on the floor to make for a comfortable sleep, and the kakebuton was nice.

    Nothing, this was our favourite place we stayed during our three week honeymoon in Japan.

    Fantastic property with lovely hosts who speak great English :) There are stairs up to the rooms, but they are easy to climb. The owners are great people, very friendly and accommodating. The onsen are fantastic, both the shared gendered ones and the private one. This was our first time on futons and they were surprisingly comfortable! The pillows were also great, they were filled with grains instead of stuffing. The room was huge compared to the other rooms we stayed in elsewhere. The breakfast was great, it was very fun to try a Japanese breakfast and then put on our yukatas to go to the onsen.
