Breakfast was a little early for we weary travellers.

True Japanese style accommodation, with a few mod cons. The staff were so welcoming & helpful. They also bussed us to the monkey park, (twice!) & our train at Yudanaka.

Nothing

The staff were so friendly helpful and accomodating. The onsen was nice and hot with a lovely outside view.

It was difficult to communicate with some staff due to the language barrier. We were quite confused at dinner but it added to the experience.

The views from the room were amazing. Complimentary ride to the monkey park and to the train station. The futons were surprisingly comfortable. Onsens were great, although a very odd experience for us prudish British folk. It was great to have a traditional experience, wearing a kimono and a traditional dinner.

Staff was very helpful and available. They came to pick me up at the train station, drive me to the snow monkey park, and the next day, dropped me at the train station again.

Nothing to dislike.

The staff at the Omodaka could not have been more helpful. The room was great, spacious and clean and comfortable. The facilities, including an Onsen, were fabulous but it was the attitude of the staff that made our stay such a great experience. We were collected from Yudanaka station and given a lift to the start of the Snow Monkey trail. We also had dinner at the Hotel, which was another great experience and also great value.

The bedding was a little bit warm for me.

Onsen + private bathroom both

The facilities were a bit outdated, don't get me wrong everything worked and was still clean, but you could tell it was pretty outdated.

Amazing service. We got confused with the train schedule and arrived way later than expected, there was a shuttle service from the station but we arrived too late for it, the cab was very inexpensive. The staff were waiting up for us, and still served our dinner warm. We had no problem speaking Englith. It was an amazing dinner by the way! We got to wear yukatas and eat some great food. The breakfast was also pretty good- traditional Japanese, with many options. They transferred us for free to the monkey park - but only one way.

Nothing, everything was perfect

Excellent customer service, love the tradition and history of the hotel. Onsen is good as well, this is the perfect experience for a lovely Japanese ryokan onsen. Will definitely be back again. Highly recommended

Service, great food, cleanliness and kindness

Traditional ryokan experience with delicious half board included. We were dressed in kimonos provided by the hotel for dinner, very unique experience. It is a cute family run hotel, very well kept with attention to detail and guests. Lovely onsen is a plus (although the water was a bit too hot for me). Transfers from Yudanaka station provided for free by the hotel. Also a transfer to Snow Monkeys park was included. We have also tried the hotel restaurant for lunch - excellent burger (unusual in Japan) and refreshing nice beer. One of the best stays on our Japan trip, can recommend without any hesitation. Thank you!!

Great staff. They welcomed us like family. We wanted to see the snow monkeys and they provided us with all the information we needed to include dropping us off at the park, holding our bags for the day, then taking us to the train station. Amazing people and the onsen was great as well.

Authentic Japanese breakfast, rooms, osen, hotel transfers to see the monkeys and to the train station. Would love to go back!

We stayed only 1 night:(

We really enjoyed our stay. The Japanese style room was so big, lovely and with an amazing view. The staff was very kind and helpful. We loved the hot tub in the terrace while it was snowing.

Stayed in March 2024

Japanese style room was beautiful and came with yukatas and traditional tea to enjoy. The Onsen was super relaxing and had an outdoor hot spring too. Super affordable and they have a souvenir shop there as well which is reasonable. There is also a cafe/diner next door. The view was great of the mountains and the river. The staff were lovely and friendly. They took us to the Snow Monkey Park free of charge and then also helped us with bus times as we were travelling. Couldn't recommend enough!

The very helpful and pleasant staff, relaxing outdoor onsen, free pick up and drop off at the train station, healthy and delicious kaiseki dinner

Stayed in March 2024

The property did feel a little dated.

The staff at Omodaka were incredibly friendly & despite the language barrier did anything to help us out, it really felt like the staff were a family & did everything to look after all their guests. The outdoor onsen was an incredible experience & if you want a traditional ryokan near the Jigokudani Monkey Park this a great a place to stay. The Kaiseki multi course dinner is also a must, you get given a private tatami room with multiple dishes from soba, tempura, sashimi and a bunch of local dishes. The mountain views were also spectacular with the snow caps & river nearby.

Stayed in March 2024

The traditional tatami mat and bed was a little hard for my western taste, so make sure you request the right bed.

A traditional style onsen hotel. The hotel is dated, but its a traditional Japanese experience so don't let this put you off. The couple who run it were really lovely and welcoming. The indoor and outdoor onsen was a highlight with great view of the mountains. Traditional japanese style breakfast - japanese curry, miso soup, vegetables etc.

Do not like the reception area, look old style.

There is bus to pick up from Yudanaka Station and send to monkey park

You must stay at a Ryokan when you visit Japan - let this be it! Super friendly staff, beautiful facilities, and wonderful onsens (indoor and outdoor natural hot tubs).

Some basic ammenities could have been provided like shampoo/ conditioner/ shower gel/ hair dryer instead of razor and toothbrush. Property needs a new coat of paint/ wall paper. Everything looks a bit tired. Also, given that there is a “gaijin”who is part of the family managment, more English instructions and signs should be put up in the property.

On property onsen was a fabulous advantage! There was a “pick up and drop off” service from Yudanaka train station and was also able to do a drop off at the foot of the Snow Monkey trail.

The staff were amazing. They even offer free lifts via shuttle bus to and from the station. I stayed for 1 night. In the morning, they let me leave my bags at the hotel and provided a lift to the snow monkeys. There is no lifts back, but it's best to walk anyway In my opinion, it's only around 30 mins and the views are amazing. You can always get a local bus if not.
