Featured Hotels near Yokoteyama Skylator, Yamanouchi

What a lovely spot! 2 minutes walk from the train station, we stayed in a traditional Japanese room which was great fun. The room was huge, 2 comfortable futons, low table with floor seats, kettle in the room (bring your own tea or coffee) and a good shower. The owners were extremely helpful despite the language barrier (Google translate was successfully used). They advised us on onward train timetables, gave us a ride to the Snow Monkeys Park saving us having to wait for the bus, picked us up again, gave my husband and I a private onsen session and delivered a huge cooked Chinese breakfast to our room in the morning. When we left they gave us an ornamental chopsticks set as a gift. Can highly recommend this ryokan.

We stayed for 2 nights on a cheap tour around the cherry blossoms in Shinshu, which is a round trip of ”Azusa” from Tokyo to Chino, sightseeing in Matsumoto and Ueda by bus, and going to Takato on the next 々 day. The total amount is 34,000 yen, so I think the cost to divide it into the hotel is limited. So I didn't expect the hotel. Even if it is called Yutanaka Onsen, it is located on Honami Onsen on the opposite bank of the Segawa River at night. Yutanaka Onsen is also lonely, but this side is lonely. I think I'm doing my best while there are ruined hotels and inns around, but the facilities are quite tired. I think the degree of tiredness in the guest rooms is especially advanced. It is a consecutive night for 2 nights, but cleaning and lifting and lowering the futon are omitted. Yukata and bath towels were prepared for 2 nights. In such a case, dinner is a room meal, so the table is placed beside it, and the lighting is not hit, so it gives a dark impression. Room meals are also a point in the tour guide, but it is not a point as a service, but one of the halls is the breakfast venue and the other is the banquet hall, so you have to eat in the room. The reality is that I think so. When I stayed, another group was having a banquet and the sound of karaoke was noisy. It is not recommended for those with bad legs as you go down the stairs once from the front desk and take the elevator. Room meals are a set of kaiseki, but there are two dishes to warm with a stove, but otherwise they are cold. I think it would be good if we could reheat it in the same way. We put it on the side of the stove dish and reheated it. I think it would be convenient to have solid fuel, aluminum foil and lighter. The room has a guide to recommended additional dishes, but if you order, you should make it early the day before. There are few staff at the restaurant at breakfast, and milk and dishes are cut off immediately in the juice, but replenishment is slow. When I asked the staff because the coffee was out, I heard a voice from the corridor saying ”Ko ― Hee Coffee is noisy!” The person came back, so when I liked it, I turned my butt to this side without stopping the cleaning hand and said, ”I'm sorry.” I went to the front desk and reported it and I read it immediately and apologized. However, I know that I am not a thankful person, so I asked him not to meet at the restaurant the next morning. The next morning I was surprised to see a lot of young staff. The only hot spring is fed directly from the source, and the hot water flows so much that it is a waste. It was nice to collect a little. There is no sauna, but the open-air bath was also good. It was a bit disappointing stay, but there is no bad impression except for breakfast.

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.

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.

The public bath is not very big, but it was very clean and nice. The room is still new and very clean, so I think it was good to use it. Also, even though I was late for check-in, I felt comfortable with a very good response. There were many kinds of breakfast, and it was so big that I could not eat all kinds. In addition, we thought that we wanted to use if there was opportunity.

It's close to Yudanaka Station. If you go about 200 meters from the hotel, there is a bus stop on the Yudanaka side. Easy transportation to Shigagogen Ski Resort and Snow Monkey There is a convenience store near 100 meters, and there are not many doors in the surrounding shops, so there is nothing to see But there's plenty of hot springs in the hotel, and there's an amusement room. There's a massage machine, so you can have fun inside. The food is buffet, but I'm so delicious at dinner. I can't forget that you can eat beer and sake in unlimited wine for dinner !! 👍 Most of them are family-oriented and friends, so there are many elderly people. Ski resort and hot springs together Recommended here to enjoy !!! The staff were friendly and nice 👍

We really liked the hotel, it was very exotic for us, we swam in the onsen - it was magical, we slept on a futon for the first time in our lives - many thanks to the owners for their hospitality. Hello from St.Petersburg

I booked a night in Yudanaka with my partner so that we could visit the Snow Monkey Park. Most places were already booked up, so we went for Yorozuya (sometimes romanised as Yoroduya) even though it was a little beyond our budget. At £300 a night for a double room with dinner and breakfast, I thought “this had better be good…” Honestly, it was probably worth double that. The ryokan itself is massive; the atrium has a scale that almost defies sense. We were greeted by staff who were awaiting our arrival, and took our luggage up to our room while we enjoyed a complementary matcha tea. A guide led us up the stairs, handed us XL yukata to wear during our stay and explained the situation with towels. She took us in the lift to our room, and showed us how to access the onsens and where the dining halls would be. We took a few moments to settle into our tatami-floored room, change into our yukata, and investigate the albeit pretty boring view from our balcony. For the record: the joy here is _inside_ the ryokan rather than outside. We tested both the on-site onsen; they operate on schedules so that male guests and female guests bathe separately, but can both enjoy both of the baths. It is worth trying both. It’s a cliché to say, but particularly coming from Europe without much experience of this kind of venue, they made me feel like I was in Spirited Away, if Spirited Away was a series of Hokusai prints. I loved relaxing in the heat of the outdoor bath surrounded by rocks, trees and classically Japanese sculptures, with snow gently falling. Suitably relaxed, it was time for dinner. This was worth the whole booking price alone. We were served a 10-course kaiseki dinner, in a private booth, with attentive staff bringing us fresh water and sake whenever we desired. Every single bite was exquisite. While not 10 courses, this extended into breakfast which was a similar luxurious experience. I was sad we only had one night there, and would go back in a heartbeat. The experience of staying here creates a stronger draw for me to return to Yudanaka than the snow monkeys. We were treated so well, and truly unwound in a setting that felt almost too good to be real.

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 :)
