The private onsen was lovely and tattoo friendly.

This place offers a genuine taste of traditional Japan. The hosts were incredibly friendly, driving me to the nearby monkey park without me even asking. The private onsen here stands out. it's a rare luxury that truly enhances the experience. I loved the food, especially the Kaiseki dinner, which was beautifully presented and delicious. Breakfast also impressed with fresh, seasonal ingredients. The room, while cozy, was basic – I could have used a little more cushioning on the futon for better sleep. Noise from neighboring rooms broke the tranquility a bit, and the shared bathrooms could have offered more privacy.

The stay was wonderful, especially for our family holiday! The hospitality was impressive, with kind hosts who even drove us to the snow monkey park. We loved the authentic and delicious meals. the dinner experience was truly a highlight. Plus, the relaxing onsen was a treat after a day of exploring.

we had an amazing family holiday! the hospitality exceeded my previous stay in yamanouchi, with kind hosts who drove us to the snow monkey park. the onsen was a treat, and the meals were authentic and delicious.

shared bathrooms could use more privacy.

This place suits me perfectly! With great wi-fi, convenient luggage storage, and excellent ski storage, I have everything I need. The staff were incredible, helping with my elderly parents on my first visit. Highly recommend the dinner experience.

conveniently near snow monkey park and local cafes

staying here was a delight, especially because we were just a few minutes' walk to Yudanaka station and the charming Shibu Onsen area. The friendly owners even offered us a lift to the snow monkey park, making our exploration so easy and enjoyable. the Japanese-style room was traditional and cozy, perfect for a single traveler. but the shared bathroom could use more privacy.

Situated just a short walk from the train station, this ryokan offered a warm and genuine experience. The hospitality from the family was exceptional. they drove me to the snow monkey park and provided thoughtful directions. The onsen facilities, with both indoor and outdoor options, were incredibly relaxing. However, the shared bathrooms could use more privacy, and the overall bathroom setup might be a concern for some. Regardless, enjoying an authentic Japanese breakfast was a highlight, and the cleanliness was impressive.

Loved the magical outdoor onsen. just wish the Wi-Fi was better.

The room was super cozy and spacious! I loved the traditional feel with tatami mats and futons. There was a nice little dining corner where I could enjoy green tea. It was peaceful and felt like a real escape. The paper sliding doors added to the charm. Just a heads up, the futons are a bit thin, so I ended up asking for an extra one, which made it way comfier.

The Japanese-style room had a charming, traditional ambiance, complemented by a beautiful garden visible from the window. The outdoor onsen experience was exceptional, especially with fresh snow blanketing the area, creating a serene and picturesque atmosphere.

The futon beds were on the firmer side, which might not suit everyone's preferences. while a heater helped, it didn’t quite reach the toilet area, leaving it chilly at night. Privacy in shared bathrooms lacked somewhat, but it’s a common trait of ryokans.

beautiful ambiance but lack of privacy

The attention to detail in every corner of the ryokan is impressive! The decor felt thoughtfully curated, reminiscent of a vintage set that brought warmth to our stay. Additionally, the family running the place provided exceptional hospitality, making us feel very welcome. The meals were simply delightful, each bite tasted authentically crafted.

However, I found the shared bathroom setup could use more privacy.

Perfect spot for Families!

This ryokan has an outdoor onsen that felt like a scene from a movie, just me and my family soaking in the warmth while snow fell around us! ! And the owners were so kind, they gave us a ride to the snow monkey park!

It wasn’t exactly cheap, but it was worth every penny.
