It was wonderful stay! The owners are very nice and attentive! When you want to experience pure traditional Japanese living, come to this beautiful small Ryokan! I overlooked that the rooms don't have private bathroom - the bathroom is in onsen bath and it is private when you are inside.. and if I have known that, I wouldn't booked the stay, but at the end, it was brilliant experience - very comfy, very extraordinary and still very clean!

Just a 3 minutes’ walk from Yudanaka Station in Yamanouchi, Hotel Yudanaka features natural hot spring baths, and offers free Wi-Fi and parking.

Hotel Yudanaka is a 15-minute drive from Ryuo Ski Park and 20 minutes by bus to Snow Monkey Park

The room was much bigger than I anticipated, and in a Japanese style (with tatami) so I was pleasantly surprised. The onsen in the hotel was an absolute delight. It had several baths with different temperatures, a lounge space, a sauna, a cold bath (which can be rare), and of course everything needed to wash yourself thoroughly before going into the baths. The hotel also provides body towels as well as face towels, so you don't need to bring yours. They have lockers to keep your items safe while bathing. There's free breakfast (little pieces of bread + some juice and coffee/tea) and a space on the first floor to relax after the onsen for example. It has wifi there as well.

Yudanaka Seifuso is located in the Yudanaka hot springs area, surrounded by scenic mountains. It features 3 hot spring baths and traditional Japanese-style rooms with tatami-mat (woven-straw) flooring.

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 !!
