Hotels near Yudanaka Shibu Onsen, Yamanouchi

The room was very spacious which allow dinner to be served in the room. Excellent food and value for money.

Location was good, about 25 minutes drive to the ski slopes and 10 minutes drive to the town. They provided ample wide variety of drinks to unwind after the hitting the slopes. The lounge is fitted with camping furniture.

The room was amazing, great location, and the private onsen was such a special experience! The hosts were so sweet and went above and beyond! Was a beautiful experience all round

The staff were so friendly and welcoming. They organized everything for us very easily. The room was much larger than I expected and very clean. The hotel onsen is beautiful and relaxing. Having key access to the 9 public onsens is also a great experience.

We had an amazing stay at Shibu Onsen Kokuya. On our arrival day the owner came to pick us up from the nearby station. After a short drive we arrived at the Ryokan where everything was taken care of. Our luggage was brought up to our room and we were seated for the check-in procedure. After a quick explanation of the hotel, we were guided to our room. This was everything we could have expected and more! The room was spacious and we were given some tea. The staff informed us of the hotel amenities and also the amenities which can be used outside the hotel. All of the onsens which are part of the hotel can be used privately which was amazing. At almost all of the onsens we could adjust the water temperature to our liking. We also enjoyed dinner and breakfast at the hotel. Once again this exceeded our expectations. The Kaiseki style dinner was delicious. There were so many little dishes to try out, we even got to try Wagyu. For breakfast we opted for the Japanese style breakfast which was also amazing and quite big. After breakfast the hotel provided a free shuttle to the Snow Monkey Park which we gladly took. They bring you there just before it gets really crowded too! Next to all of this, all of the staff was really friendly and spoke a bit of English. They ensured that our stay at the Ryokan was unforgettable! I would definitely recommend going here and if we are ever back in Japan, I will go back for another visit!

Akahira, the host, was the warmest and most thoughtful host we've met. the hotel has been with his family for 3 generations and it's amazing how the entire place is well maintained, unique from modern hotels, and genuine. We enjoyed the facilities, specially the onsen, and the traditional Japanese night wear. Highly recommend this place!
