Our room had no curtains and it got light at 4am but that wasn’t a problem in my friends room. The staff didn’t really interact with us at all

The three onsens were great, so fun just having a quick spa whenever you felt like it day or night! Very flexible with food preferences/dietary requirements they are able to cater to anyone Yudanaka town was pretty quiet in spring, not much going on but very relaxing nonetheless The rooms were very clean and so spacious The scenery around this part of Japan is way more beautiful than I had expected Easy to get here - one 45 min train from nagano station

Rooms were really spacious and you have access to private onsen baths. We had dinner there (which needs to be reserved beforehand), which was truly amazing, we highly recommend having the meal along with the room!

Fantastic breakfast which accommodated our food allergies. Baths were great and relaxing. Staff was helpful in planning tourist activities.

The bathroom does not have a shower inside.

Very original Ryokan, nice and immersive experience in a typical room, sleeping on typical futon. Beautiful Onsen baths, very comfortable, clean and relaxing.

It's a little run down, like some of the carpets and furniture are quite old, and sometimes there was a slightly strange smell (not in the rooms though, just in the shared areas).

Nice little hotel, they have three onsen, one is an outdoor one which is just beautiful. They feed you breakfast and dinner in a private room and were really considerate about dietary requirements so could make lovely vegetarian food for me. convenient area too, lots of nice cafes nearby.

The futon beds were a bit hard for us, but not that big of a deal. We expected this with a traditional ryokan.

Traditional ryokan with very rustic feel, exactly what we wanted. Location is right by the station which is super convenient, and there is a Lawson and 7-11 within 3-min walk. There is a private onsen which you can go to for free without paying extra! You just go in and lock the door and it’s yours for however long you want. They provided free tea and cookies in our room daily. One of the owners was kind enough to drive us to the Snow Monkey park, which we appreciated a lot !!

Onsen temperature was too high for us to enjoy

Owners are lovely and provided transport to snow monkey park without additional payment. Japanese breakfast and dinner ordered was beautiful

Thin walls, quite noisy, we could hear people talking in the next room and in the hallway. Outside noise early in the morning. Futon beds could have been more comfy, another pillow would have helped

Amazing staff, even gave us a ride to the monkey onsen and allowed baggage storage after checkout so we could see the monkeys easily. The private onsen was lovely Vegan meals were amazing! Great location, 5min walk from the station Room was quite large, toilet was very fancy

I am a big fellow, and the beds were a little too thin for me. If you are better in shape, the beds will be fine. If you are out of shape like me, the beds may not work for you.

This location was right near the train station. And had beautiful hot spring baths. Wife and I also opted for the traditional dinner. It was about 50 usd cash only but it was amazing and 100% worth it.

This little ryokan is exceptional. Cozy, clean rooms, lovely bath facilities, and wonderful owners. It’s just a short walk from Yudanaka Station. If I come back to ski or see the snow monkeys, I would definitely stay here again.

We stayed here for one night and it was a wonderful experience! This traditional Ryokan has three private onsens and a public one. They provide you with a yukata and an obi, plus a wash towel and drying towel for your time in the onsen. I liked the communal feel to the place, and just a warning that the only showers available are those in the onsen rooms. The highlight for me was the breakfast served the next morning. At check in the staff confirm any dietaries, so my partner and I experienced a private, traditional (vegan) Japanese breakfast - and it was incredible! The gentleman (who may run the place) then asked if we would like a lift to the snow monkeys, which we accepted gratefully.

A wonderful ryokan experience where every single detail is taken care of, it really looks like an animal crossing house where every piece belongs to a well thought vintage set ( in a good way, definitely) the family attending the business is very kind and the ofuros, while not the biggest, are perfect for a cozy feeling in the mountains

The owners were so accommodating and nice. I only wish I had ordered the breakfast and dinner experience. My loss. The opportunity to spend a couple nights in such a special place was so memorable. They also volunteered to drive me to Snow Monkey Park and the Grandfather insisted on blustery snow morning to drive me to very short way to train station and even offers to help me get train ticket if needed. Couldn’t ask for nicer people. Only wish I had more time.. Quite too. Can’t say enough. You won’t be disappointed, but order food at. Reservation or go to local Micasa Japanese neighborhood restaurant. Not fancy but delicious and relaxing. Get the local Shiga Kogen Porter with whatever you have and enjoy❣️👍

We were very pleased with our stay and can’t think of anything we didn’t like.

Very close to the station, huge beautiful room in traditional Japanese style, private onsens, excellent tea with special sweets, kind and helpful staff.

Stayed in January 2024

It was not a problem for us but be aware that the only showers available are the ones in the onsens. So no private showers. But I still highly recommend it.

Old traditional rooms are big and look very good. Futons on tatami. Great room sizes. Had our own toilet and sink but no shower. Japanese breakfast was great, good food in small portions and looked beautiful, and very affordable. Outdoors Onsen was spectacular and justifies the stay just on its own. It is 5 minutes walk from train station. We drove in rental car and there is free parking in front of property. 15 minutes drive to Snow Monkey Park.

Local Tax is confusing

It was very easy from the train and accessible to snow monkeys and ski resorts , the train from Nagano is very easy and has so many attractions near by . Our favourite is Obuse on the same train line .The town has some epic little restaurants so go for a stroll .

Friendly owner/operator that helped us to understand what is around the area. The property also has an open air onsen which was enjoyable.

The tatami bed could me more spongy for a side sleeper like me.

If you want to experience living traditional Japanese, this is the place! Love everything and every touch of this ryokan. From location - super convenient n easy to find Big room - cozy dining corner, peaceful sitting area, spacious! great host service(he offers free ride to snow monkey park), drink green tea matcha & eat welcome japanese pastry in the comfort of the japanese dining table. Lastly my Favourite - love love the onsen from outdoor to private one. Every onsen feels Different because of the set up. (3 onsens in this ryokan)

Everyone was very caring and attentive in this beautiful family guesthouse. The spacious accommodation was comfortable and with all the amenities for a cozy and pleasant stay. We had the most relaxing time, wish we could have stayed longer.

It’s not really about the property but the area did not have many places for food

They had a private onsen as well as both female and male bathing areas. The place was very clean and the staff were exceptional . Really close to the station as well
