Amazing staff with genuine kindness and hospitality, great traditional Japanese style room. Japanese style Dinner and Breakfast are prepared and served with such love and care and are delicious. The onsen are to die for and so relaxing and private. Really ideal location a quick bus ride from the Snow Monkeys and Shiga Kogen ski resort. It was an unforgettable stay for us and will definitely be going back!

Great value-for-money budget stay for people skiing or visiting the snow monkey park. The owner is super friendly and uses Google Translate to make sure the non-Japanese speaking guests have everything they need - gave us lifts each morning to the station for the bus up to Shiga Kogen. Breakfasts were delicious and highly recommended - kept us fuelled for a morning on the slopes!

Traditional Japanese accommodations. Futons were clean and comfortable and the breakfast was healthy and nutritious. Conveniently located near onsen villages, Snow Monkey park and Shiga Kogen ski resort. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Loved the on-site onsen which had an indoor and outdoor area. super relaxing after a long day of exploring!

Good location. Although not central to all the Shiga Kogen ski areas, it was easy to get around using the ski lifts and was very convenient to the Yamanoeki bus station. Our host was very helpful and the meals were authentic Japanese fare.

Rooms were warm and comfortable but bathroom area very dated. The location is great, next to the ski lifts and very practical. The ski conditions are amazing so please come Shiga Kogen to ski.

Very good breakfast and kaiseki dinner! Onsen can be considered private as I rarely see people using the facilities. Very convenient to shuttle to Shiga Kogen for snowboarding as well!

My favourite place I stayed in Japan. Great location, incredible staff, spacious room, and very reasonable price. Will stay here again when I go to Yudanaka/Shiga Kogen.

It was a super authentic Ryukan experience, the host was super friendly and courteous. We recommend booking the authentic breakfast and diner for full experience. If you travel as a couple there is even a private onsen you can use together. Everything was super Clean. 100% recommendation

Staff is so friendly, private onsen on our terrace, amazing food in private room. You can wear the whole time on the premises a yukata that they give you upon arrival!

A wonderful stay. Chose this hotel due to having transportation between Yudanaka train station and the Snow Monkey Park. Very handy indeed! There are two public onsen within the facility (gender separated) and two private onsen (indoor, free and outdoor, 2000yen per 30 mins, or free with select rooms) in addition to the 9x onsen in town. In-room drinks provided (free) and replenished daily with local snacks provided in-room and changed daily also. A nice touch! Tip - choose a consecutive night stay (2 nights) and you’ll have the town onsen to yourself until 3pm when the guests start to check into their hotels. Most only stay 1 night so the town onsen can get quite busy from 3pm. We chose the “no meals” options in our booking and were spoiled for choice within Shibu Onsen (places open from 5.30-6pm), no reservations necessary which isn’t the case for most other towns in Japan!

Amazing staff, accomodation, dinners, was in Japan for a month and this was my favourite accommodation Couldn't recommend more, from Travis from Australia

I stayed at this Ryokan for 2 nights early January and it was the highlight of my trip around Japan. Dayaka (one of the owners of the Ryokan) patiently answered all of my questions and was always there to help with a smile on her face. Upon arrival she did a little tea ceremony and also helped me with some translations. The room was clean and the mattress quite comfortable for Japanese standards and the breakfast was delicious. Guests can book a private onsen that’s part of the Ryokan. It’s also really close to the Snow Monkey Resort which was the main reason I chose to stay here. If I ever go back to this region, I would definitely stay here again :)

The service was incredible, from the time we booked to the last goodbye. It was our first time in Japan and for most of us, our first time skiing. Naoko helped us with absolutely everything, booking extra space for our friends, booking the right tickets for ski lifts, guiding us where to go, looking for ski school, renting gear and equipment, taking buses, you name it! Always so kind and calm! Everyone in the hotel was extremely friendly and helpful. The place is really clean and like a home! You can pretty much ski from the hotel car park! Food was beautiful and it was just so nice to relax in the Onsen after a day of ski and before a feast! Not worrying about restaurants, with 4 teenagers, all we did at night was enjoy their company playing ping pong, cards and chatting about the day! We couldn’t feel more comfortable or welcome!

Incredible service and incredible overall experience. It's like staying in a fancy cabin in the snow. The lounge area with the giant fireplace is awesome, very nice food, very spacious rooms and first class facilities such as the onsens and indoor swimming pool. The decor could be interpreted as dated (as other reviews have stated) but we felt this simply adds to the warmth and cosiness of the establishment. The service here is seriously next level and it is fantastic value for money.

The room was much bigger than I anticipated, and in a Japanese style (with tatami) so I was pleasantly surprised. The onsen in the hotel was an absolute delight. It had several baths with different temperatures, a lounge space, a sauna, a cold bath (which can be rare), and of course everything needed to wash yourself thoroughly before going into the baths. The hotel also provides body towels as well as face towels, so you don't need to bring yours. They have lockers to keep your items safe while bathing. There's free breakfast (little pieces of bread + some juice and coffee/tea) and a space on the first floor to relax after the onsen for example. It has wifi there as well.

I liked the Ryokan feeling of the room and hotel as a whole.
