Hotel Housei

Very kind staff, they offered us a free shuttle service to see the snow monkeys, round trip ! The room we took was big and confortable with an amazing view ! The onsen (public bath) felt very authentic ! It was a memorable moment we spent there The breakfast was not to our particular taste, so if we come again we probably won’t include it, and eat out instead

This place is very charming. You can tell when you enter that it’s aged however the service you get is truly top notch. They do thoughtful service such as. train station pickup, remembering your name as they welcome you, dinner & breakfast, dropping you off at the station or the monkey park.

It was a wonderful experience. I stayed for two nights and would have liked to extend my stay. The staff are very kind and will pick you up and drop you off at the train station and monkey park. Beautiful onsen and very large room. Very good Japanese breakfast and dinner. I can't wait to return.

Excellent service. Good breakfast but options are somewhat limited. Valet parking, very quick in retrieving your car.

Hotel Housei is comfortable Japan style hotel stay with indoor n outdoor bath, Japanese breakfast n dinner included in the room rates . Food is good. Tatami n yukatas are provided coupled with Japanese hospitality. Amenities are basic . Rooms are spacious and a little cold during our winter stay . Transport provided to snow monkey park as well as Yudanaka station pick up n drop off . Enjoy our stay at reasonable prices .

Very good location and price with onsen inside. Offer transfer at any moment from and to the train station. Only downside was that the onsen water temperature was to hot for me, I could t be there even 10 sécs, and some other custo mera mentioned the same. Had to go to another onsen.

Ancient old dodgy motel rather than a hotel imo. This place is patronised by absolute senior locals for the Onsen pool for day use.  The moment you step foot in the lobby you are greeted by plumes of secondhand smoke and the smell of dust and everything old.  They told us to come back after 3pm but we realised the room was unlocked with the keys inside the entire time.

The location was near Yudanaka Station. Hotel provided pickup and drop off service to the station and to the snow monkey park. Really enjoyed my stay.

This hotel is definitely an older building and it does show. It’s well maintained but know that going into making a booking here! The staff are really incredible, I had an incident with my door and they immediately fixed the problem for me. Additionally I was hoping to get to the Snow Monkey park earlier than the shuttle service was set to depart and they were nice enough to take me! There were some minor cleanliness things like cobwebs and the fridge had a slight mildew scent to it that made me weary to put anything open inside. Additionally there was no hair dryer, I probably could have asked because it’s such a staple amenity but I was in a rush and never did. It’s about a 7 minute walk from the station and there’s a Lawson and Pharmacy en route if you need to grab anything. It’s about 4 minutes from a bus that can take you deeper into the area with more food and shops too. There isn’t much else in this area but it is about an hour from central Nagano. If you’re a solo traveler looking to explore the area but not wanting to spend too much on one of the famous ryokan’s in the area, I definitely recommend!
