Hotels near Yokoteyama in Yamanouchi

We stayed here at the end of our time in Japan as a treat and for the traditional Japanese inn / onsen experience and we certainly weren’t disappointed. The room was huge and the seating area was seamlessly converted for sleeping by the hotel staff while we ate our dinner. The food was traditional Japanese with seemingly endless small plates of delicacies (a similar story at breakfast). The onsen was fabulous - we used it 3 times in the one night we were there and loved it. All in all a great experience and lovely place to stay.

Our first visit to the area of Shibu Onsen we stayed at Yumoto Ryokan. The General Manager was amazing. She was friendly generous and attentive to all needs. This Ryokan is 400 years old and offers a traditional experience. On arrival we were greeted by the General manager wearing a kimono. We were a bit early but she allowed us to check in. Best to arrive on time however. A gentleman took our bags and we proceeded to our room. We were told through laughter that their English was not very good. They are light hearted about it and welcomed our use of Google Assistant’s translate mode. We were guided through a series of common questions as we sat under a warming table. Tea was provided to warm us from our travels. Gifts are a common thing in the culture. We were gifted a kabuki figurine. The hotel provides yukata, traditional robes to go to the onsen, natural hot bath. Our western ideals were put to the test as we donned robes with nothing beneath. Onsen is taken completely naked in gender specific bathing areas. Yumoto offers gender specific onsens as well as an onsen for reservation. The reserved onsen is outdoors and can be for mixed gender. Ryokan also provide breakfast and Dinner for a bit extra. We can be a bit picky with our palettes so opted to dine in the town. The area does have some great restaurant options. We were directed to try a traditional Japanese restaurant. Unfortunately we went with our own plan and found a Soba Noodle place, Tamagawa. The meal was fine but they are barely tolerant of foreigners. We appreciated the photographs of manners in the menu. Lesson learned, follow the advice of the Ryoken or eat in house. The next morning we endeavored to check out the snow monkeys before our train back to Tokyo. Our general manager and her assistant provided us instructions to catch the bus and let us leave our luggage. We had grabbed a snow money pass in Nagano which made the bus and park easy to access. The travel to the Snow Monkey Park was very easy. It had just snowed the night before and our footing would have been better with boots. We could have rented at the park but chose to chance it. The General manager of Yumoto Ryoken went above and beyond for us on our return from the park. We aimed to call a taxi but there were none to be found. The General manager without hesitation said she would take us. She disappeared and returned in a large passenger van. We piled in and were quickly shuttled to the station. We offered to pay and we’re firmly told no. Hugs were offered from the staff for our farewell. We highly recommend this place for it’s location and the amazing staff. The local bus also goes to the slopes. A trip to ski and see the Snow Monkeys and later soak in a hot spring tub is a wonderful vacation.

This year, １ month ２ day (３ time), the new year's accommodation (Japanese style room) is used. Every time I repeated it, I thought it was an attractive inn, and I used it this year. I thought it was the same as before until I checked in and entered the room. When I received a drink menu from the serving staff at dinner, I started explaining the item when I couldn't decide the drink. The serving staff can't read the air ... I can't decide on a drink, and if you're worried, you can propose a recommended drink. There is a scene where itamae brings nigiri sushi wherever he eats, but his expression is not here in his heart. It seemed that he was working as a silent 々 in office. Normally, at the end of the meal, the landlady of the inn came to greet me, but she came to the next room and did not come to my room. There was no hospitality at all at the time of meal, which made me feel sorry. I couldn't have fun. I really like the food and bath. I don't like the attitude of the staff who handle it. It may be a difficult feeling in Corona. At least, if you are involved in the inn business, you want the business (hospitality) to be firm. Because of the lack of hospitality, I felt unbalanced between the amount paid at the time of accounting and the balance. I won't go to Yudanaka for a while.

From the moment you enter Kokuya Ryokan, be prepared to leave the real world behind and fully immerse yourself in the experience. You swap your shoes for slippers at the door and don’t see them again until you leave. You will receive a warm welcome from polite and gentle-mannered staff, get taken up to your beautiful room, and once you’ve changed into your traditional yukata, it’s time to let the relaxation begin. The multi-course dinner will probably be one of the best meals you’ve had in your life, with many unusual textures and flavors to try. The futons are comfortable, and your room is kept toasty warm. There are even skincare products to keep you pampered and moisturized between soaks in the onsen. Honestly, you won’t even need to open your suitcase while you’re there. The staff will take you through all the logistics when you arrive, but there are some things that might be useful to know in advance. - The ryokan sends a shuttle to Yudanaka station at about 15:00 to collect new arrivals, so time your journey to take advantage of this benefit. - The ryokan also offers guests the opportunity to catch a shuttle to the Snow Monkey Park immediately after breakfast the next morning. - After you leave the ryokan, they will take your luggage down to the coffee shop opposite the station, so you don’t need to worry about those logistics. - Trains from Yudanaka back to Nagano leave at 12:30 and 15:30. - The ryokan itself has several private onsens that you can reserve for a 45-minute slot. Because the onsens are on the property, you can go in with your partner or travel companions regardless of gender. It’s a boutique hotel, so you don’t have to worry about not getting access to all the onsens you want. - The ryokan is on the main road of the Shibu Onsen town. The hotel will give you a key so you can wonder down the main road, visiting any of the public onsens you wish - however, with so many gorgeous and more private onsens in the hotel itself, you probably won’t have time or the desire for this. - Also, there is a coffee machine in the room! (I was worried about having to survive without coffee, and this turned out to be an unfounded concern). We had an incredible and totally indulgent time at Kokuya. Experiencing a traditional ryokan is a privilege that you should try at least once if you can. And adding the Snow Monkeys in give the trip a double purpose, making it that much more memorable. The only thing that would have made the trip better is if we had been allowed to linger longer over every course of our dinner.

　I went there at the beginning of July. It was heavy rain on the day I stayed. The road from the national highway to the inn is partially paved, but it is rattling and narrow. When I saw the car the next morning, it was muddy. Well, first of all, in the lobby in front of the front desk on the 3rd floor, it is self-service, but it will be served with a drink bar and sweets. There is also beer. There is also a fortune-telling corner at the front desk, which takes 20 minutes per person by reservation. Free. The room was a room on the １ floor of the annex across the aisle. The view is satisfactory in the room on the sky blowing side. There was white smoke. There seem to be multiple baths in the large inns nearby, but this is a men and women change system, each １. The washroom in the indoor bath is windy and a little cold so as not to be sulfur addiction. The bathroom with an open-air bath ２ is hot and warm. The color is milky white and slowly soaked. It is until 9:30 in the morning, but there is a photo permission time until check-out. Meals are buffet in the morning and evening. The roast beef for dinner was excellent. Self-service, including alcohol, but all-you-can-drink. It seems that bears are also infested nearby, and I was scared when I took an open-air bath alone in the middle of the night, but I didn't see you this time. I received a regional limited coupon for the Aigo Gunma national discount, but I entered from the Gunma prefecture side the day before, and the next day I headed to Shibutoge on National Highway 292, so there is no other place to use unless I use it at this shop. .. However, since the shop is until 10 am, if you don't buy souvenirs before checking out, it will close.

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.

A really unique and affordable place, with a genuinely wonderful host. I found this by chance and we were all so amazed by our stay. The place is older and homely, but the rooms and facilities are all fine. We started our stay by taking up the owner, Miyasaka San, offer of dinner, and it was a very generous and wide ranging meal (sashimi, tempura etc), of around 9 dishes set out for each of us. Then Miyasaka San gave us a history lesson on Kyudo (Japanese archery). A few days later we were lucky enough to have a lesson with him, and he also performed the Kyudo ceremony which was an amazing experience. He also kindly drove us up to the entrance of the monkey park walk. We were here in May, late spring and still saw some blossoms of the vast apple tree farms around. The area is a quiet charming chain of smaller ‘towns’ and the real treat here are the 9 public onsens you can visit. Read up on them. This would be a great place to visit in winter for skiing, to get away from the real overrun popular places. You get to Yamanochi-Machi by taking a train to Nagano, and then switch to a local train to Yudanaka which is at the end of the line. This is genuinely a rural place, and staying at this ryokan will only add to the experience. We hope to return one day, with our archery homework done :)

The hotel has arranged for vehicles to pick up and drop off at Tangtianzhong Station. Although the building is old, the service staff are very kind. The fly in the ointment is that the water in the Volkswagen Pool Hot Spring is too hot to go down. There is also the entrance of the hotel to the Hell Valley Wild Monkey Park, but the return journey needs to take the bus to the station near the hotel. The environment of the day, the wind and snow began to blow, and the hotel really experienced a lot of hardships.

If there is no discount, the price is 55000 yen for two people. I used it because it was GoTo. I expected that word of mouth was good, but it is very disappointing as a conclusion. GoTo thinks it's a good chance for the inn to win repeaters after this, but repeats are never possible. First of all, there is no inn. I think that there is a pick-up at the entrance if it is an inn of this price (there is a large number of corona) The front desk also corresponds to a considerable salt and stayed in Metropolitan Nagano at the previous night. It is more polite. The corridor is quite old and there is no impression in the room. Bath Bath Only the pottery bath is the source, and the other is the circulation + hanging flow. I want you to write it on the guide paper about the explanation. By the way, I couldn't touch any rental bath at the front desk. I thought it would be good to say a word even if another fee occurred. Dinner The taste is not bad, but it doesn't seem to be a dish that is in hand. It's safe. It's a dish like a tavern. Why is there a barnacada at the end? It's a mysterious order. Sukiyaki was delicious, but I want a little more style such as appetizers. There are many great inn at the same price. I am really disappointed. And the woman who serves, the smell of fluffy perfume... I'm surprised that I can't believe it. I went because I wrote that the morning city was doing it on the elevator (this is also a word). I want you to speak about a word if you meet at the morning entrance. (it's small) Breakfast was quite a pity. Where did the safe seasoning yesterday go? Forgot salt? Where is sweet? And the roll is not delicious at all. Is it not a corona and tasted? I think so. The cancer that seems to be a ready-made product was delicious. The customer service is also very good, and I don't feel hospitality at all. If you are a guest who has paid this price and spent time from afar, would you like to stay at this inn? I want to answer my own questions. It was a disappointing inn overall. I was surprised because Nagano Prefecture had delicious rice, good spring quality, and I was never disappointed at this price inn. I don't think about taking money because it is GOTO, and if you take such a fee, you should respond to it or if you can't, you should lower the price.

On such a hot day, there is no air-conditioning on the 4th floor. I vaguely feel that there is discrimination in the room booked through Ctrip. The next day we negotiated to change to the 6th floor.
