Hotels near Yudanaka Shibu Onsen, Yamanouchi

The room was very spacious which allow dinner to be served in the room. Excellent food and value for money.

Spacious room, very clean, comfortable, with view on the mountains. The indoor and outdoor onsens are amazing. 2min walk from the station so it’s very convenient.

Staff were excellent, facilities were excellent, room was excellent, beds were comfortable, location was excellent, service was exceptional, from being picked up and dropped off at the train station or the snow monkey park, nothing was too much trouble. We were always greeted polite and friendly manner by all staff.

A truly wonderful experience start to finish. We booked the twin room with private external bathroom (i.e an outdoor relaxation area with a hot tub fed from the hot spring water). When you walk into the room you feel instantly relaxed. Supreme luxury and comfort. Our breakfast and dinner were included, and it was absolute fine dining, some of the best food we have ever eaten (served up in our own private dining room!) The service was second to none, we felt absolutely spoiled every minute of our stay. An unforgettable experience.

Location just in the center of the most interesting part of the town - very convenient for an evening walk which is gorgeous. The traditional Japanese setting is very interesting to see. The private onsen by the room is beautiful you could spend a lot of time in it and relax. Dinner is fantastic, splendid service, very tasty food. Breakfast is also very good but not on-par with the dinner. Overall, highly recommended.

Yudanaka Onsen Yamazakiya was an astounding experience for me. The Ryokan is located in a pictureske street with many small shops and restaurants. The rooms are great, featuring a super nice kotatsu, a futon, a bed and a separate room for enjoying the view and making/drinking tea. The room also has a refrigerator which is great. Also, Akira-san can heat your Conbini food in a microwave if you ask him. The two onsen facilities the ryokan features are both great, being private and having the option to adjust water temperature by adding cool water. Lastly, there is a free drinking water station in the lobby. If you are planning on visiting the Jigokudani Yaen Koen Snow Monkey Park, this ryokan is a great option since Akira (or his mother) will gladly take you right to the entrance of the park, with no additional fee within ten minutes. Which brings me to my favourite part of this ryokan: Akira, his mother and all of the lovely staff. Akira-san speaks really good English so check-in and basic questions about onsen, food, attractions and anything else are no problem at all. For more complicated stuff he will just use a translator app. If every person in the world would be a just a little bit more like Akira-san, we would live in a better world. He constantly made me feel at home and taken care of, which I really appreciated since I kinda had a hard time mental-wise while being there. Akira-san even drove me to the station at the day I had to leave and made sure I have everything I needed. Great humans, great ryokan, great rooms, great onsen, great location, great stay. Would come again for sure if I ever were to visit Yamanouchi again. - ヤニク
