Hotels with Hot tubs in Yamanouchi

AN AMAZING EXPERIENCE!!! LOCATION: Literally next to the Ichinose Family Ski Area, so once you put on your gear, it's a short walk across the road to the nearest lift. GEAR: There is a branch of Snowcan on the 1st floor of the hotel, so if you book through their website - you can pick up your gear there instead of walking to the main Snowcan Ichinose branch a short walk down the road. PRIVATE CLASSES: You can book private lessons from the Bianca Ski School through the hotel front counter, which costs JPY18,000 (2 hour inc tax). Our instructor was Mr Takeshi Iida who's super helpful and friendly - and patiently took our entire family for 2 very worthwhile sessions. He even took the trouble to check our ski boot sizes before the 1st lesson, and phoned the Snowcan staff to come in and open up the branch (it was closed during lunch time) so we could get better fitting boots! FOOD: As Muslims, we were very concerned about getting halal food - especially at the top of a ski mountain - so we were very happy that each item in the buffet breakfast and dinner had a list of ingredients (in English) next to them! Sometimes broths were made with chicken / pork - so it was really helpful that those were included in the ingredient list. We ate our fill of seafood-based dishes and rice. The dining area was styled like a canteen - which makes sense since it was used to house athletes during the 1998 Winter Olympics - and has amazing views of the surrounding snow-covered areas. The hotel doesn't have lunch except instant ramen (non-halal) - so we relied on the bread and instant noodles (prepared using the in-room kettle) that we brought ourselves. GETTING THERE: There are scheduled Nagaden Express buses from Nagano Station to the Ichinose bus stop (about a 100m walk from the hotel). Be sure to check the schedule. At Nagano Station, there was a temporary counter next to the bus stop itself (Stop no.

Excellent hotel in Yamanouchi. We appreciated the staff (and their level of English), the super nice traditional rooms (sleeping on a futon was a wonderful experience), the upstairs public bath and the delightful breakfast.

Amazing staff and the food was amazing! The beds were sooo comfortable! The communication was excellent before the trip. They emailed us what train and buses to take and where to rent skis. They had a van to shuttle us to different ski areas and suggested which areas to ski based on what kind of skiers we are. The onsens were so peaceful and clean. Exceeded our expectations!

room is really big, near train/bus station

The food was phenomenal,and they had no problem accommodating a vegetarian. The private onsen was perfect. The outdoor onsen was gorgeous. The room was exceptionally spacious. The proximity to the Monkey Park couldn't be beat.

Excellent stay in a traditional Ryokan. The couple running the hotel are absolutely fantastic, offering to drive us to the Monkey Park and collect/drop us off at the train station (a 15 minute walk away) and were very helpful in giving recommendations and informative leaflets about the area. There was a Onsen in the hotel that was private for the guests and the stay also included free use of all 14 public Onsens in the village. The room was enormous with a private toilet and fridge (no shower as this was within the Onsen space). We were worried about the comfort of the tatami mat beds but they were very comfortable. Air conditioning and heating both available in the room. Lovely choice of restaurants in the area and beautiful little village. Breakfast and dinner options available but we did not use this.

The outside Onsen is just gorgeous! We loved that you can reserve it for private use in the evenings. We highly recommend the traditional Japanese breakfast. Centrally located just below the train station.

Wonderful location in the center of Shibu Onsen and within walking and driving distance to Snow Monkey Park! Staff at the main reception ryokan were helpful with check in and info about the area and accommodations!

Service was fantastic as was the location.

The staff was absolutely amazing, they were very kind and the perfect hosts.

Everyone was very accommodating at the hotel; we will definitely return during prime skiing season.

The location and scenery were beautiful. The room was tasteful and luxurious. The food was delicious and authentic. The staff were lovely, it felt like family and their service and attention was flawless.

Staying here was a truly relaxing experience. The private onsen was a highlight, complemented by the beautiful space and friendly service. The living room and patio offered stunning views, creating the perfect setting to unwind. The location was also ideal, being close to the base of Monkey Park and the bus stop. Thank you for a wonderful stay!

The public Onsen and food were the highlight
