Ryokans in Yamanouchi

Had everything we needed for a quick ski trip. Meals were multicourse with a variety of dishes. We made good use of the ski storage and onsen facilities. A short walk to the bus stop and ski rental.

The food was all varied and tasty, and the staff were all very nice and helpful

This was an older Japanese owned/run hotel. Close to the ski lifts, but not a ski to door as it was advertised. We ate breakfast there every morning and several dinners during our week stay. The food was good and had different options added each day, but had some of the same basics everyday as well. The onsen was older, but clean and relaxing. The rooms were older but clean and comfortable. They had free lockers to store your ski/snowboard equipment in the lobby area. The staff was very hospitable and observant of our needs. We had a great stay at this modest Japanese style hotel.

The staff is super helpful and the breakfast really a blast.

Great experience Exceptional food Very hospitable hotel staff 10/10 💯😍

After the hustle and bustle of the big cities, we were thrilled by this little property nestled in the heart of the mountains. The staff was so genuine and friendly that we felt right at home. We took our meals at the lodge where the same staff prepared traditional Japanese breakfasts and dinners for us, which were delicious. Getting there is fun too! You ride the ski lift down and up from the hotel and the views are spectacular. We were there in the fall and the fall colors and snow monkeys were all out and about.

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.

Awesome location close to the onsens, complementary shuttles to/from the bus station and to the monkey park, the staff were super friendly and easy to book a nearby private onsen if you wish. We had the traditional Japanese breakfast and it was epic.

The staff were amazing and very friendly. They were very patient with our limited Japanese. Highly recommend the dinner (you will probably need to or book). The food was amazing and the variety and quantity blew us away. There are two public onsens on site, each with indoor and outdoor onsens that were beautiful. The location is excellent and Yudanaka is a lovely town, and very close to the snow monkeys. Would definitely come back.

The place was very clean and spacious. The onsen was relaxing and nice. There is a small cafe on the first floor, and they have amazing cheeseburgers. One of the best I've had in Japan. The place is also very close to the Snow Monkey Park so it is in a convenient location.

Amazing attention to detail, wonderful food and helpful staff. Very close to bus stop.

Bed was extremely comfortable. We slept like babies. The room was spacious with the great view on the forest. Both dinner and breakfast were delicious.

+ cozy + authentic + rustic (in a good way) + food

Nice staff, big tatami room, legit onsen, fun snowboarding within a short walk

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.

During our trip to Japan we stayed in 19 different accommodations, this was by far the most helpful & welcoming staff! The dinner was spectacular & the outdoor onsen was an extra special treat. Amazing shuttle service to the monkey park & to & from the train station, with a friendly & curtious driver. We highly recommend this accommodation.

Location was very close to Yudanaka Station. A few minutes walk. The breakfast and dinner was included and a very good buffet with drinks included too. I loved the onsen.

Excellent service from the owner and the staffs. The room and the food are great.

room is really big, near train/bus station

The ryokan was beautiful, the room was large and there were many amenities for the guests.

The property was well lit and clean. There were onsen eggs outside the property for 100 yen that are delicious. There are baths inside the property that you can reserve when you arrive. In addition there are baths in the area that guests can use as well.

We loved staying at Shimaya. The owners were warm and welcoming, they went out of their way to help with anything. They will even drive you to the snow monkey park for free! Breakfast was nice and well worth the money.

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.
