Lovely ryokan experience

Great hotel, really nice and accommodating staff. It's a great way to have a traditional ryokan experience. Great size room, and great location for the small town. Really good value for what you get, we would love to come back.

Amazing stay

Amazing stay. The gentleman at the front desk who spoke great English was lovely, he helped us with everything and was also attentive during our kaiseki dinner, helping explain everything. We had a tatami room, it was nice, the bathroom a little dated, but the onsen was fabulous. The outdoor onsen was beautiful. Loved our stay here and can recommend it to anyone.

子供2人連れて宿泊。荷物は車で到着時スタッフの方が手伝ってくれて子供の相手もしてくれました。部屋は最上階の部屋で宿泊でマットレスも適度な硬さで快適でした!夜ご飯は近くの松美食堂さんで、朝食はホテルで美味しく食べました!値段がかなり良心的だったのですがサービスもよく満足してます。

Great central location in Yamanouchi

This is a great family friendly hotel. We booked a room with a private onsen which was absolutely worth the extra cost. The hotel has a shuttle which will take you to/from the Yudanaka station and the snow monkey park. This was a great place to stay.

???, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

It was really nice, we had 2 rooms for our family and one of the room had a private hot spring (I think they only have it in the first floor). When you’re booking it’s better to book the rooms in one name if you’re planning on multiple rooms, so that way they can put you guys together but it was fine because we got one room with an Onsen. They also park your car for you because they have their own parking space and they give back your keys at check out.

Relaxing trip to Yudanaka

Wonderful stay in Yudanaka Hotel Housei. Everything from check in to check out was superb. The staff were so friendly and helpful. They drove us to the Snow Monkey park and to the train station. The breakfast buffet was delicious with so many traditional foods. Onsen was relaxing after a cold day walking around. Will be back!

Great hotel. Friendly staff. They picked us up from train station and took us to monkey park. Its made our one night stay easy. The onsen was nice. Not much food around town, so go to dinner early.

We stayed here for the ryokan experience and to visit the snow monkeys which we perfectly achieved. The dinner was a masterpiece with so many small dishes I couldn’t count. The staff were lovely and helped get us to the snow monkeys for opening time and arranged to collect us to drop us back to the station which was so appreciated.

良い風呂です。

古さは仕方ないですが、スタッフさんの快い対応は評価に値します。お風呂の温度がぬるいんじゃないですか?と、言いましたらすぐに温度を上げてくれました。何回かリピートしていますが、いつも気持ち良く帰路につけます。
MAKOTO, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Really fantastic stay. Both for the experience, and easy location to the monkey park (which the staff provided a free shuttle to and from). Decided to go for half board - breakfast/dinner - and the food was SO good, especially the second night’s dinner. Staff were all wonderful and attentive and the Onsen (indoor and outdoor) was the perfect way to end the day. 10/10 recommend and will stay here again if I’m back in the area.

Friendly staff

Very friendly staff at the hotel, they helped a lot and were very welcoming in English! They had a nice dinner and solid breakfast (with some western dishes). At the end I was positively surprised with a free transfer to the station. Definitely recommend.
