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

This was an amazing cultural experience. The lady was very welcoming and made sure we had a pleasant stay by cooking amazing meals and breakfast. We had the normal meal on the first evening and a vegetarian meal on the second evening while wearing the yukata's that were provided. Both meals were fantastic. The area is quiet and beautiful. At the snow monkey park we saw three monkeys, which was a nice surprise since it wasn't very cold that day. We enjoyed the onsen. The smaller one is hot but very nice once you get used to it. If you're planning to visit the snow monkeys we definitely recommend staying at yudanaka yasuragi for an amazing japanese stay.

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.

We stayed at Shiyama for two nights as we needed to decompress during our trip across Japan (so much walking and hiking). We absolutely loved our stay here. The owner is such an amazing host. He drove us around, gave great recommendations, and answered any questions we might have had. We'll definitely stay here again when we come back to Japan.

    I highly recommend this ryokan. Dinner and breakfast was amazing. Onsen experience with family was great. We arrived by car and Akira managed to provide a parking spot for us. The rooms were spacious and futons were comfortable for us. Heating system works great during our mid winter stay. Toiletries and yukatas were provided. While we were about to leave, he is assisting some guests to be dropped off at Snow Monkey Park which I think is great if you have no car.

    Great location, in house restaurant for breakfast and dinner, traditional Japanese Ryokan. Despite being a tatami mat with futons, the bedding was extremely comfortable. Free bus pick up from train station as well as free bus drop off to Snow Monkey park. Staff were very helpful and provided lots of information about what to do and how to do it. Shared bathroom facilities were quite basic but OK. The bonus is the key to the public onsens, all 9 of them.

    The staff were superbly friendly while retaining the unique traditional ryokan atmosphere. The onsens were beautiful and entirely peaceful. Both the guest rooms and the dining rooms were beautiful tatami rooms that when paired with the yukatas really made you feel the atmosphere at its most. The shuttle bus service to the snow monkey park and train station was also incredibly helpful!

    Loved the traditional Ryokan. Cosy rooms with comfy futon style beds. We had a room at the front with an indoor balcony that overlooked the street. Had breakfast and dinner at the restaurant, which was great. Staff were really friendly, helpful and spoke English. They supplied Yukata and geta to wear out to the onsen - the closest was only 50 meters up the road.

    Beautiful old ryokan with super friendly and helpful team; quality service (the pickup from the train station, the drive to the monkey park); delicious food and superb cappuccino. Really enjoyed the traditional rooms (sleeping on futons) and the relaxed atmosphere in the ryokan. And not to forget: access to the 9 onsen baths as a guest of the ryokan. Try them all, walking towards them in traditional Japanese yukata and gets. Enjoyed every second of being here!
