Yama no ue isn't at the top of the mountain. If you want to climb to the top of Mount Kurodake the Ropeway is the best way to go. Very friendly staff. Especially enjoyed the Salmon Chan Chan Yaki which was exceptional.

Sounkyo Onsen Pension

Wonderful, charming, homely and super friendly, I would recommend this Ryokan to anyone visiting the stunning Sounkyo Gorge. Surrounded by majestic mountains, in a little enclave of onsen resorts, with the very complete and modern information center just 100 meters away, it was a pleasure to stay here. The rooms are tatami, one makes one's own bed, the food is included, diverse and delicious, and the onsen is accessible from a walkway in the back. Can't go wrong, we were made to feel right at home!

Simple but oh so charming!

Pension Yamanoue was a pleasant stop-over in Sounkyo Onsen on our summer driving trip around Hokkaido. It is a small family-run accommodation in the traditional Japanese style, with tatami mat rooms, and they serve a delicious multi-course home-cooked Japanese dinner and breakfast. It is shared bathrooms (which is typical for most accommodations in Japan outside the major cities) but provides free access to the public onsen in Sounkyo Onsen. The staff have limited (but sufficient) English, but they have an English section on their website and the booking process (in English) through their website is quite simple and straightforward.

Authentic Japanese homestay

We spent two nights here exploring Daisetsuzan  national park. The place is rather simple. The room is small and the lavatory is down the corridor to share with the other guests. The bathroom is the next door onsen: Sounkyo hot spring. You can go as many times as you want. The dinner is quite special. The first night we got all kind of small dishes and the second night the owner prepared a genuine Japanese BBQ. Both tasted great. Breakfast was simple with eggs. The owner and his son are very friendly and make you feel at home. They are what makes this hotel very special and an unique experience. Highly recommended!!!

Friendly hosts!! in a lovely inn in the beautiful national park! 

Took us a little time to find this as there is no mention of Yamanoue in english either on the building or on the tourist information map. Look for the place that says hot hut above the door.
Like other people have said the owner and the young lad are very helpful. Dinner was well prepared and tasty. Room was basic Japanese style but had no private facilities (with the exception of a wash basin). Onsen next door was included in the price. They gave us two extra tickets to use it again if we wanted. Breakfast was hit and miss Japanese . If you re being kind you d call it fusion but it wasn't as good a standard as the evening meal.
If you want to try basic Japanese style then stay here or pay more and go elsewhere.
Fun to try once or twice.
