Great experience for the family. Japanese hospitality at its finest. The meals were exceptional and meticulously served. Onsen on our balcony was a treat. Lovely escape after a day of skiing. Highly recommend. Special mention to our dinner waiter Koji-San. Great job! ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/761A54DEB8C681CBC47C906A9FA5324B66C9A1C41735532394142.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Kristina Stayed 2 nights in Dec 2024 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Miyuki 5 Jan 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities We stayed during the shoulder season and it was quiet at the time so we were able to enjoy the public onsen all to ourselves. Private onsen in our own room was perfect for us as we have tattoes, but the staff said if your tattoo is for fashion purpose only, it'll be ok - just let them know in advance. Food was great, they have free trf services to/from Yudanaka station. We didn't get to go this time but it's not too far from Jigokudani snow monkey park. We loved the roof top bar they had! Staff including the owner were very polite, friendly and courteous that we enjoyed our time there and we'll definitely recommend and go back! ##### Miyuki Stayed 1 night in Dec 2024 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Paul 23 Aug 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Our stay at this location could not have been better! It was a 5 Star experience in all categories! We stayed in the suite with the open air onsen and it was amazing. The staff offered the best costumer service all throughout the hotel. The food was incredible for all meals, another 5 Stars! The owner of the establishment came and spoke with us on 2 separate occasions to make sure we were enjoying our stay. This place is a total gem if you are staying in the Nagano area. We will definitely be returning in the future!!! Domo arigato gozaimasu!!! ##### Paul Stayed 1 night in Aug 2024 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jason 9 Jan 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Awesome location! Walkable from Yudanaka Station. Has a shuttle service for pickup and dropoff to the station. Short walk to the bus stop to the Snow Monkey Park. Breakfast buffet is decent. Right next to a brewery if you want to try some local crafted beer. Rooms are nice and big. 2 public onsens and also a private onsen is available. Downside is the kaiseki dinner option may not to available so prepare to plan for dinner elsewhere. They have a do-it-all-staff, this one receptionist was checking us in/out, driving the shuttle van, and communicating in English\~ impressive. ##### Jason Stayed 2 nights in Jan 2025 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Megan 15 Jan 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### The perfect stay in the snow Our stay at this hotel was really wonderful. Even without our room having access to its own onsen, we were still able to book a private onsen for ourselves. Additionally, this hotel had one of the best breakfasts I’ve had in Japan. A mixture of fruits, veggies, curry and so much more. It was an incredible way to start our days in the snow. The access we also had to the station was convenient for our day trip to see the snow monkeys. All-n- all we were not disappointed in our selection and would choose this location again and again if we ever decide to come this way again. ##### Megan Stayed 2 nights in Jan 2024 Verified ### 8/10 Good #### Allison 25 Jan 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service If you’re going to stay at this hotel, I would suggest you pay the extra money to have one of the rooms with a private onsen. Somehow I booked a basic room that was more than basic. It smelled like mold and had little more to offer than a futon on the floor. Thank goodness we were able to upgrade. I would have left the hotel otherwise. Staff were great, very friendly and helpful. Few spoke English just as a side note. ##### Allison Stayed 2 nights in Jan 2025 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Stephane 8 Mar 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities We went on a Japan trip for 2 weeks and this was our favorite ryokan, because they made us feel at home. It's in a little town surrounded by snowy mountains, near Shiga Kogen and Snow Monkey Park. The kaiseki was unbelievable, well worth the price. We don't want to ruin the surprises during dinner and the attention to detail throughout the experience. The staff were thoughtful, kind and thorough to us foreigners that don't know all of the customs of the area. The onsen was beautiful, well maintained and allowed us to connect. The owner greeted us several times and was so welcoming. They also have the best chopsticks, it's worth checking out their gift shop. We highly recommend staying here. You won't regret it. ##### Stephane Stayed 1 night in Mar 2024 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### eleni 25 Mar 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Such a wonderful and unique experience ! The owner greeted us outside the door with a warm welcome and also on our departure was there to say good bye. The entire staff was so kind and courteous. Marina, especially went out of her way to help us throughout our stay. We chose to book the private onsen room and it was well worth the extra charge. We also opted to have the traditional Japanese dinner. Again, such a unique and amazing experience. We were asked to choose from a beautiful selection of yukatos/kimonos upon our arrival to wear to our dinner. And of course don’t miss the snow monkeys! It is a short train ride, but then quite a long walk uphill and a further beautiful hike to get there. (We did see taxis dropping off people to the top but it would still be half an hour easier hike to arrive there ). Worth it ! ##### eleni Stayed 1 night in Mar 2025 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Rebecca 31 Oct 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Amazing room and staff!
