Cozy hotel, right by the Ichinose Family ski area. The staff is absolutely amazing, 100% focus on making your stay pleasant. We went there for a ski trip and it was really convenient. The public bath is great for after skiing, and both dinner and breakfast buffets were excellent, with many good quality choices.

We stayed in the caravan, which was a trailer home on the slope. We could almost ski directly from it. The place was well set up for people who want to make their own food, of which we brought a lot. It had a big refrigerator, microwave and electric kettle. We ate on the floor from the coffee table, but there was a sofa that you could also eat on. The trailer had its own internet router which worked very well for streaming Netflix; something not typical for Japanese ski resorts. The hot water heater worked very well as well, meaning nice hot showers. The room had a small bath but there was a small but clean indoor hot tub at the hotel that is free to use. The place is very close to the Ichinose bus stop. You can take the bus for free to any Shiga Kogen area slope. But frankly it was not necessary as we were already right on the slope.

The onsen was lovely and the proximity to the snow monkeys was so perfect, we were able to go back a second day. There was also a concert in the lobby in the evening. The staff was friendly and took pride in their hotel.

Might be better in winter, but in spring only thing to see was monkey park, and that only takes a few hours ( mostly travel time) as it isn’t very big. I was of impression it was a whole mountain, but it is just one small area you see the monkeys from.
I’d suggest staying in nagano which was nice, and coming to Yamanouchi for a morning.

While Yamanouchi is known for its proximity to snow monkeys, it wasn't what stood out to me about the area. The snow monkeys just have too many tourists to be truly enjoyable. Yamanouchi has beautiful mountain views, charming winding streets with quirky decorations, and onsen hopping among different ryokans is something to look forward to. If you look behind the main street, you'll see many stairways leading to many shrines. We had dinner at a sushi restaurant ran by an elderly couple, on traditional tatami floors. It felt like eating at someone's house, and they absolutely stuffed us with delicious sushi. Two nights would probably be the best to fully wind down.

Amazing amount of terrain in the ski fields.
Amazing amount of terrain in the ski fields. Need to have better maps (in English) available for the runs. A (live) board showing which lifts and runs are open would be great, prior to entering the areas.
The snow was amazing!!!!
Restaurants were good however the area appeared to be directed at locals (Japanese) rather than tourists. We had to do a lot of work to find somewhere to eat.
It would be great to have some public onsens available in the area.

Our stay at a ryokan just couple miles from Snow Monkey Park...
Our stay at a ryokan just couple miles from Snow Monkey Park was the absolute highlight of a trip filled with highlights. Specifically we stayed at Onyado Hishiya Torazo, and loved everything about it - the room, the food, the staff, and the oh so relaxing onsen! We made the mistake of only booking one night and the short turn around combined with outside temps down in the low 20’s (F) meant we never did try any of the public onsen. Trust me - two days here is the minimum!
Snow Monkey Park ended up being another highlight (and between my wife and I, we have about 1,000 pictures to prove it!). Before going we were concerned that it might seem contrived at best and a bad situation for the monkeys at worst. But they were absolutely there of their own free will and happily making use of the large onsen on a cold winter’s day. Get there early - we got there about an hour after opening and wished we’d been an hour earlier. It started to fill up about 20 minutes after we got there.
Here’s the weird thing, and the only downside - and I don’t quite know how to explain it. The town was basically closed! And we were there Jan 26-27, a decent snow had fallen a couple days earlier and a light snow fell the morning of the 27th. I thought this would be big tourist season, but we barely saw another sole in town. And those few we did see were almost all tourists out taking pictures in their yukata. This made for a very quiet morning, which was great. But we had planned to pick up our luggage at the ryokan after visiting the monkey park and meander through town stopping to eat, drink, or shop as we made our way to the train station. But nothing was open so we caught an earlier train and ate in Nagano while waiting for our Shinkansen.

The Ryokan Biyunoyado was just fabulous.
The Ryokan Biyunoyado was just fabulous. They have shuttle bus to and from station. also to the snow monkeys.We were late and they returned to station to collect us. Onsens were great. The food was amazing and plenty of it. Japanese style room was very comfortable and beds made up when we were at dinner. Definitely stay here when you come to see the snow monkeys. it’s the best.

Its a great spot for visiting the snow monkeys and a quick snow board at Ryuoo Ski Resort. A walk through the older Shibu Onsen town is also fun for people who like that. We went to three different restaurants in the town and they were all good.
The negatives were that the roads and paths were slippery with ice, so bring appropriate footware if visiting in winter (although your hotel might have some).
Almost all places were cash only.
The hotel staff was wonderful. We had an amazing stay Onsen-hopping and visiting the Snow Monkeys. The staff told us that the best Onsen was public Onsen number nine, but in reality the best one was the outdoor one at the Ryokan! The meals were fabulous, we loved trying the many interesting dishes. We did both breakfast and dinner and were so full every day. The Ryokan is very old, and has a lot of character which we loved. Contrary to other reviews, we also found the rooms to be a very pleasant temperature.
Staying just across the street from the slopes was great! We booked a Japanese room and we had to adjust to it a bit, but we enjoyed it in the end. Onsen was fantastic and helped our muscles a lot! And also thank you for making the food so diverse with local specialities and also with a lot of choice of everything! The ski-equipment rental office located in the basement of the hotel was also great and very handy. We loved very friendly staff and appreciated help using Yamato service sending our big luggage.
The private onsen in our room was terrific! The entire stay I felt refreshed and relaxed! The location is near a couple of nice restaurants a quick walk from the hotel.
The staff were so friendly and helped with all of our needs. Smooth check in and quick but informative guide around the hotel.
Amazing breakfast buffet style and helping staff to set us up at the right table!
Very foreigner friendly, accommodating with everything and are very patient with our questions
Location is superb being in the heart of Shibu onsen at Yudanaka. Also free pick up and delivery to the station and the Monkey Park. Some good restaurants within walking distance. Being a local Ryokan, has key access to all of the 7 public onsens which I used. What a treat. Just strolling around town in Yuakata provided is fun. Owners were very hospitable and there was also an onsen in the Ryokan.
Yes, it is a dated hotel. However, the value, location, friendly staff and nightly dinner buffets more than make up for it. Conveniently located across the Tagamagahara lifts and near the bus/shuttle stops. Hotel will also aid with your Yamato/Ta-q-bin delivery/pickup needs. We booked a private bathroom room and it was very roomy with enough space/storage for 4 of us. Would stay here again.
This is a property gem! It's in a scenic town and represents the area well. While a traditional "ryokan," the facilities are modern. The room was large and comfortable. The onsen was relaxing. The breakfast was the best of our trip - very traditional Japanese meal - with lovely service and tasty food! The staff was very pleasant and accommodating.
A traditional style onsen hotel. The hotel is dated, but its a traditional Japanese experience so don't let this put you off. The couple who run it were really lovely and welcoming. The indoor and outdoor onsen was a highlight with great view of the mountains.
Traditional japanese style breakfast - japanese curry, miso soup, vegetables etc.
So good! We had a large tatami room with a separate enclosed balcony area. The in house onsen was lovely and the breakfasts very yummy. Akira and his mother were both very kind and friendly. Akira-san picked us up from the station and also took us to the snow monkey park. The hotel opens onto a street with restaurants and shops.
The hosts here were a standout, so enthusiastic and helpful, driving us to the monkey park, advising us where to visit, and lending us snow boots.
The outdoor private onsen experience was also very special. The indoor onsen at the hotel was good and convenient.
We really liked the views from our top floor room.
- it was close to the snow monkey park;
- the staff were very accommodating and kind;
- the private onsens were a great experience;
- dinner was perfect and our server was great;
- the garden in the centre of the hotel was lovely;
- they had a shuttle to take you to the hotel from Yudanaka Station
so friendly. delicious meals. Small family run ryokan it is located on the quiet small road in the middle of the 9 Onsens popular to visit and do a stamp rally. it is opposite a hotel that looks like it is from Ghibli’s Spirited Away movie.
The onsen was lovely and well appointed. The staff were friendly and helpful. But food in this hotel was the absolute highlight. The care taken to provide beautiful and tasty banquets for both breakfast and dinner was exceptional.
Great hotel, closest to the entrance of the 1.8km walk to the monkeys.
Staff were great. All very helpful.
Shuttle bus service efficient.
Onsen nice both indoor & outdoor options.
Good WiFi.
Japanese breakfast amazing.
The staffs were very friendly and helpful. The owner was so kind, talking to us at dinner and sending us in front of the hotel when leaving. The onsen in our room was exceptional with breathtaking views of the town.
I found this hotel to be the nicest one on booking.com, so I decided to stay here. The hotel and facilities look just as nice as they do in the photos.
