This is a traditional Ryoken which is very comfortable, friendly and welcoming. It has Onsen on site, and other baths are a short distance away. There was a very clear explanation of what baths are available for male and female bathers at what times. A traditional dinner is served in a private dining area about 3 minutes away. Breakfast is served on site, with about 12 individual plates. Both meals were wonderful. Fellow guests were both Japanese and foreign visitors- it felt both very authentic and very welcoming. Highly recommended.

A wonderful Ryoken

One of the best ryokan experiences I've had. My group stayed for one night and was able to experience 4 of the 6 onsens available to us. The men's outdoor onsen was beautiful, and they had these awesome waterfall showers. There was even a cold bath which is something that we had not seen too much of in other onsens.

The breakfast platter they served was a beautiful arrangement of traditional Japanese dishes, all of which was delicious. Apparently the food is prepared starting at 4AM, and you can really taste the effort put into the food!

But the best part had to be the hosts and their attentiveness. They were both extremely helpful when explaining all of the rules of the ryokan, and they even helped us putting on and tying the yukatas as we had not done so before.

I'd love to come back here again the next time I visit this area!

Wonderful & Quaint Ryokan Experience

Our group stayed at this ryokan after snowboarding the day before. We absolutely loved everything about it here! The hosts were incredibly welcoming and kind in explaining everything to us in Japanese/English.

Location:
- Brief walk from the station to get to the ryokan.
- Short walk to a sister location nearby, where you can also use their onsen.

The ryokan itself has two onsens split by gender (switches based on time), and groups are allowed to reserve a time slot for private use of the onsen. Check your reservations to make sure you have dinner and breakfast included! They had a variety of dishes for breakfast (tamago, grilled fish, fruit/yogurt, fresh juices, natto, braised dishes). 

My friend and I had never worn yukatas before, so the hostess taught us! Again, I cannot emphasize how much we enjoyed staying here as they had the best hospitality throughout the two weeks we spent in Japan.

Tips: 
- Book early! 
- It was pretty cold while we were there, so make good use of the kotatsu.
- When we arrived to check-in, I think a few other guests had already checked-in before us. There are a few activities where they asked us for a preferred time slot (i.e. private onsen time, breakfast, etc), so be sure to check-in on time or contact them if you have any scheduled plans.

Favorite Ryokan

This is an authentic ryokan with only six rooms and four onsen baths. I love the exclusively, peace and attentiveness. Check in wasn’t smooth as the cleaning staff wasn’t expecting us. But rest of the stay was fine. Staff sent us to the monkey park carpark and waited there before sending us to the train station. I booked the private onsen at night which was very good and chose our own yudaka.  Excellent local breakfast too. 

Small but exclusive 

12/1-2でお世話になりました。
大きい宿が好きではない(そして食べるのが大好きな)私達夫婦にはまさにうってつけのお宿でした。
お香のいい匂いに癒され、女将や仲居さんのフレンドリーな接客も好感が持てます。
次回は夏前に行こうと思っています。
その時はどうぞよろしくお願いします。

We were visiting from December 1st to December 2nd. Such a lovely hotel (has only 6 rooms!) and wonderful food dinner and breakfast. The hot tub is not too big but big enough to relax though. U can also use Momoyama bath at their subsidiary hotel near by. U also get a key for the oyu( the local bath house located couple of min away). If u like to experience different types of onsen, this is the place to be!
Nice atmosphere overall I definitely go back and stay this hotel again.

また行きます🎶

We stayed here for 2 nights and were delighted with the Ryokan. The owners/ staff are very welcoming, friendly and courteous. They made us feel at home from the outset. The Ryokan is easy to get to from the Station. 

The rooms were large, very clean and delightfully Japanese. Yukata are provided to wear  during your stay. 

The Ryokan has two Onsen areas, one for each gender. This changes once daily so you get the chance to use both if you wish. Theye were both clean, quiet and very, very relaxing.

Dinner is provided at a local hotel, transport is provided. The hotel is a minutes drive away. The food was fantastic.

Breakfast, which was equally amazing, is served in the Ryokan.

Overall an awesome stay at one of the best Rokans I have stayed in over the years. Highly recommended and I hope to stayagain one day.

Fantastic Ryokan

Stayed here for one night after visiting for the Snow monkey park and famed onsen in the area. The couple who run the ryokan were charming with great hospitality,including offering to drive us there and back to the nearby Shibu-onsen for a night time stroll, and impeccable attention to detail. The onsen within the ryokan was open 24hrs, which was great for when we got back mildly frozen from the stroll having understated the night time temperature. They also have pretty yukata (summer time kimonos) which you can borrow for free during your stay, and can go to the meal at Yorozuya in it as well. Both the dinner at Yorozuya and the breakfast on site were amazing.
I'd love to go back again and have been recommending this ryokan to friends and family. 

地獄谷野猿公苑と温泉のために湯田中に来た際に一晩泊まりました。とても親切できめ細やかな心遣いが嬉しかったです。温泉も朝食も良かったし、おすすめです。ありがとうございました。

Lovely ryokan

My son and I stayed here for a couple of days as we wanted to see the snow monkeys and have access to snow fields. Cannot say enough about the exceptional food and service while we were there. It is traditional style accommodation so don’t expect 5 star luxury but it is exceedingly comfortable and the food is to die for! The staff couldn’t do enough to look after us and I will definitely go back again in years to come.

The perfect blend of traditional Japanese and western style

I chose this ryokan without any clue because it has no review yet. and I tried to find out how is the quality of the stay , but can not find any on other websites either.
So I booked it because it was the last minute on the busiest time of Shibu onsen town.
And I don't regret doing that!
The best hospitality, nicest staff, traditional Japanese bedroom with private bath
 and super clean, hot public bath tub, beautiful Japanese courtyard. I had Japanese breakfast in the private dinner room look into the beautiful garden. NOTHING to ask more, the best , lovely ryokan stay. can walk everywhere in Yudanaka and to Shibu onsen , easy bus ride to Snow monkey park.

This is the good place for the travelers who want to experience the Japanese style stay, The staff barely speak English but we had every single thing taken care of. If you are the English speaker and easily get frustrated because they don't speak your language, please don't bother. They are good people and willing to service you, but Japanese style of hospitality  is a little bit difference and you need to learn something new when travel.

I think you should be peaceful and don't yell in this ryokan, beacuse it could bother other guests, and it would be impolite to make a lot of noise in the public in Japan as well.

The breakfast has the curtain time and a staff will attend to serve you soup and tea.
Another staff will prepare the shoes for you at the front door, and he drives you every where upon the request. You can walk over to the ryokan for the train station or call them up and the staff will pick you up the station.

I can't say enough good thing about this place. And still have the great feeling about Chibu onsen area eventhough I have been here few times already.
