I loved staying in a traditional old Japanese ryokan, and I absolutely loved hoping around to all the onsens! Note, they are extremely hot! The staff was wonderful and very accomodating. They offer free shuttle rides to the monkey park or to the train station, so that is wonderful. Ate once there for breakfast, and it was delicious! ##### martha Stayed 1 night in Jul 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Cynthia 13 Aug 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities The staff were very friendly and helpful making this a relaxed and comfortable stay. It is an old building but well kept. Not as fancy as some places down the road but extra charming. The public onsens were fun to try. Their shuttles are well organized and we had no trouble booking the times to private onsen and monkey park that we wanted. Excellent service and stay and would return and recommend to others. ##### Cynthia Stayed 1 night in Aug 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Megan 22 Jan 2016 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Perfect Winter Getaway Staying here was a dream. The staff was absolutely amazing and were one of the reasons we would like to come back. They were extremely hospitable and very pleasant to talk to. They were hardworking and answered all of our inquiries about the facilities and surrounding town. They really went out of their way to make us comfortable. We were picked up from the train station, they suggested things to see and places to eat, helped book things, and shuttled us to the monkey park. The cafe downstairs was great, and the rooms and location were the traditional and quiet getaway we were looking for. I would highly recommend this place to anyone looking in this area. ##### Megan ### 10/10 Excellent #### Misa 16 Feb 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Authentic yet casual ryokan experience. Staff are so accommodating - picked us up at Yudanaka Station outside of normal pickup hours, advised us to stay in the waiting room (freezing cold in February). Following day, drove us to Snow Monkey Park, first stop to drop our luggage, then to the entrance. I accidentally left my Snow Monkey Pass in my luggage, and she drove me back to the first spot to retrieve it!! Thank you for your generous heart ;))) ##### Misa Stayed 1 night in Feb 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 4 Dec 2015 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Stay here forever !!! When we came out of Yudanaka Station travelling by train from Nagano (~1300 Yen p.p.) we got stopped by an older gentleman who insisted on helping us to find our hotel. I showed him our Expedia reservation and he mumbled: "Hmmm, yes..yes...Koishiya." He had a hard time finding it on his free map and I was waiting for him to offer us an expensive shuttle or for him to hold up his hand for a tip. No such thing! He was a student from the local English school and even ran after us when I decided to take the adventurous road up the hill. "No, no. This road very hard, take the one by the river. Much better." Such kindness and care set the tone of the best day ever at Koishiya. Google Map had a hard time finding the Ryokan (search "Koishiya Yamanouchi") and the address pointed to this shady street next to a fancy looking hotel entrance. Pleasantly surprised we were to find out the fancy hotel was our resting place for the night. Shoes are OK when you enter the lobby, just not in the room. The two boys running the place were more than accommodating and showed us kindly around the building. The room was a traditional Tatami room with low table, mats, and soft mattresses you can lay on the floor. What? No TV? No, and that's better. WiFi, a heater, and the romantic atmosphere was enough. We were offered to go to a super fancy Onsen (natural hot spring) in an amazing hotel nearby...for free?! First time in an Onsen, little bit awkward, but there was barely anyone there. ##### Verified traveller ### 8/10 Good #### ?? 30 Aug 2025 ##### ??

Would highly recommend this inn for a stay in the Japanese Alps. The staff are absolutely amazing - nothing is too much trouble for them and they're always around to offer you help and support. There is a free shuttle service both to and from the train station and up to the Monkey park. The rooms are spacious and we were very comfortable on our futons ☺️ The onsen hopping is also a great attraction...worth the trip out of the city to see! ##### Kathy Stayed 2 nights in Feb 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Daniel 24 Feb 2024 ##### Daniel Stayed 3 nights in Feb 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Gregorio Victor Manuel 13 Feb 2024 ##### Gregorio Victor Manuel Stayed 1 night in Feb 2024 ### 4/10 Poor #### satomi 8 Jan 2024 Liked: Staff & service Disliked: Cleanliness 申し込み段階の表示が不鮮明。 朝食在り、と表示されていたから朝食が含まれているかと思たらそうではなかった。 旅館とあるがホステルのようで驚いた。 ##### satomi Stayed 1 night in Jan 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Nicholas 6 Jan 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort ##### Nicholas Stayed 2 nights in Dec 2023 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Golf Hotels in Sharm El Sheikh](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sharm-El-Sheikh-Hotels-Golf-Hotels.0-0-d3274-tGolfHotels.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Hotels in Puglia](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Destinations-In-Puglia.d6048562.Hotel-Destinations) > > [Ett Hem](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Stockholm-Hotels-Ett-Hem.h42007061.Hotel-Information) > > [Beach Resorts & Hotels in Zakynthos](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Zakynthos-Hotels-Beach-Hotels.0-0-d601109-tBeachHotels.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Mountain Hotels in Alicante Province](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Destinations-In-Alicante-Province-Mountain-Hotel.0-0-d6023825-tmountainhotel.Hotel-Filter-Destinations) > > [Kilworth House hotel & Theatre](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Lutterworth-Hotels-Kilworth-House-Hotel-Theatre.h17244283.Hotel-Information) > > [Spa Hotels in Brixham](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Brixham-Hotels-Spa-Hotels.0-0-d4586-tSpaHotels.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Hotels in Haverfordwest](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Haverfordwest-Hotels.d182857.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Park Farm Bed and Breakfast](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Windsor-Hotels-Park-Farm-Bed-And-Breakfast.h31159288.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels with Balcony in Greenwich](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Greenwich-London-Hotels-Hotels-With-Balcony.0-n5827-0-tHotelswithBalcony.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Best Western Webbington Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Axbridge-Hotels-Best-Western-Webbington-Hotel-Spa.h901873.Hotel-Information) > > [5 Star Hotels in Cala'n Bosch](https://www.expedia.co.uk/5Star-Calan-Bosch-Hotels.s50-0-d6048001.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) ### Flights > [flights from heathrow airport](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/airports/lhr/flights-from-heathrow-airport) > > [Flights from Paisley (GLA) to Rome (FCO)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/gla/fco/glasgow-to-rome) > > [flights from marina di campo airport](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/airports/eba/flights-from-marina-di-campo-airport) > > [Flights from London (LHR) to Crumlin (BFS)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/lhr/bfs/london-to-belfast) > > [Flights from Los Angeles (LAX) to South Lake Tahoe (TVL)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/lax/tvl/los-angeles-to-lake-tahoe) > > [flights from ohare intl airport](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/airports/ord/flights-from-ohare-intl-airport) > > [Flights from Leeds (LBA) to Accra (ACC)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/lba/acc/leeds-to-accra) ### Activities > [Things to do in Hertfordshire](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Things-To-Do-In-Hertfordshire.d6046204.Travel-Guide-Activities) > > [Things to do in Torbole sul Garda](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Things-To-Do-In-Torbole-Sul-Garda.d6336362.Travel-Guide-Activities) ### Packages > [Queenstown Holidays](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Queenstown.d180018.Holidays-City-Breaks) > > [San Pedro del Pinatar Holidays](https://www.expedia.co.uk/San-Pedro-Del-Pinatar.d6049012.Holidays-City-Breaks) > > [Mabul Island](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Mabul-Island.d6350143.Holidays-City-Breaks) > > [Lisbon District Holidays](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Lisbon-District.d178278.Holidays-City-Breaks) ### General > [Visit Madinah](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Madinah.dx602705)
