This hotel is a beautiful ryokan and onsen. We stayed 2 nights and really enjoyed it. We ate breakfast and dinner at the ryokan and really enjoyed the food - meals are 7 courses and food quality is top notch. We would highly recommend to anyone looking to stay in Yudanaka. They have a private onsen which we also booked so my husband and I could use the onsen together.

We had a wonderful time and enjoyed the private onsen. Highly recommend! Very convenient for traveling to see the Snow Monkeys. Thanks for a great stay, wish we could have stayed longer.
Excelente hotel. Funcionários atenciosos! Comida deliciosa, perto da estação de trem.
A vila não tem muita opção de refeições, então optamos por jantar no hotel e foi uma experiência maravilhosa. O banho “onsen “ que o hotel oferece foi uma surpresa! Tudo muito limpo e cômodo pra uma viagem a dois!

The staff were exceptionally attentive and helpful, and the meals were outstanding. The onsen was delightful and felt private and was never crowded. Proximity to the station and location in a quaint neighborhood made it feel special yet convenient.

Great traditional riokan with a beautiful outdoor onsen. Breakfast and staff were really good. The elevator has bad smell, however, and the property is quite pricey.

Excellent hospitality. Amazing meal services. Very kind staff. Our stay was amazing and we quite enjoyed the onsens! Looking forward to coming back
We did the half board option and the food and service was excellent. It was great for experiencing Japanese cuisine and culture. Staff very friendly and helpful. Close to the station and the bus to see the snow monkey park.

The hotel is hidden up in the hills of Yubanka and is a welcome surprise from the tourist epicenter of Nagano. The hotel has an amazing breakfast and couples can use the onsen on the roof for a price. The monkey bus leaves daily for exploration of the local hills. Great price and quiet. Staff was polite and friendly. Great experience and loud visitors need not apply.
