Mitsubikiya

Matsumoto

At the ryokan, units are fitted with a wardrobe. All units have a shared bathroom, slippers and bed linen.

The ryokan is located in a geothermal area, with a number of hot springs nearby for guests to relax in. Had to check in early which wasn't a problem. The two staff were great - they speak English quite well, and were very patient with our very poor Japanese. Dinner + Breakfast is really good (but you do need to let them know you would like to have dinner when you are making your booking).

Shibu Onsen Koishiya Ryokan 3 stars

Shibu Onsen, Yamanouchi

Located in the historical Shibu Onsen district, 渋温泉小石屋旅館 offers both private and dormitory-style guest rooms as well as an on-site restaurant where local dishes, wines and craft beers are available.

There is no Onsen・Bath in 渋温泉小石屋旅館, however, staying guests at 渋温泉小石屋旅館 can enjoy 9 public baths in Shibu onsen(free). There are 2 shower rooms in 渋温泉小石屋旅館. Cozy place right in the middle of the Yamanouchi onsen route. One onsen is literally paces away. Exceptional staff who went above and beyond (shoutout to Karinn in particular). Everyone I talked to spoke decent to good english. Good food and decent toilet facilities. I booked a cheap dorm bunk and was afraid it would be 15 snoring men in a barracks, but it was in fact a cozy three-bed room with privacy curtains on the beds. You get everything you need for the nine onsen route for free, except the cloth to stamp at every onsen, which is ¥400.

Boasting open-air hot spring baths, a heated indoor pool and beautiful Japanese gardens, Senjukaku offers traditional Japanese-style accommodation that has a historic charm. Jigokudani Snow Monkey Park is a 15-minute drive away. the building is amazing. I loved all the art, all the corners, the garden with the koi, the private onsen for 1500¥ / 45 minutes. classical music is playing until 10pm. there’s unlimited coffee for free. fresh drinking water, tea, sweets and fresh flowers will wait for you every day in your room. the room we stayed in was spacious and had beautiful light. the staff was always professional, helpful and considerate. the snow monkey park is easily reachable by foot, and there’s are great cafe / restaurant (the farmhouse) very close, if you fancy some local beer and food.

Yudanaka Onsen Yamazakiya 3 stars

Shibu Onsen, Yamanouchi

The air-conditioned rooms feature tatami (woven-straw) floors and Japanese futon bedding. Each room comes with a TV, a fridge and an electric kettle with green tea bags. Japanese Yukata robes are provided and guests can enjoy views of the river or of the traditional stone-paved streets. Bathrooms and toilets are shared. The accommodation and onsen (for private use) were superb! The owners were very friendly and offered to drive me from/to the Yudanaka train station as well as to/from the Monkey Forest free of charge. The street the onsen is on was very beautiful, close to other onsens (if needed), restaurants and bars, but at the same time, very quiet. I recommend this place very much!

Kadowakikan 3 stars

Nozawa Onsen

Japanese-style rooms have a tatami (woven-straw) floor, a low table with seating cushions, and an LCD TV. They come with traditional futon bedding and yukata robes, while bathroom facilities are shared. I enjoyed everything about this stay. The room was very cozy, and their was an onsen inside the guest house as well. The main thing I wanna point out is the service - Kadowaki-san was such a fantastic host, helping with gear rental, recommendations, and general inquiries. It was very nice to talk to as well and very efficient with Google Translator :D. I was in Japan for 2 weeks, and this was by ease the best place I stayed at. Will definitely be back to this place and highly recommend it.

Yudanaka Tawaraya Ryokan 4 stars

Yudanaka Onsen, Yamanouchi

A 5-minute walk from Yudanaka Train Station, Tawaraya offers Japanese-style accommodations with free Wi-Fi and a flat-screen TV. Guests can relax in the indoor and outdoor hot-spring baths and wear colorful Japanese Yukata robes. Massages can be requested for an extra cost.

Tawaraya Ryokan is a 10-minute drive from Snow Monkey Park and a 15-minute walk from Heiwa Kannon. Shiga Kogen Ski Resort is a 30-minute drive away. I would easily give this ryokan 12/10 if booking would let me. Such an amazing experience form every perspective and definitely surpassed all of our expectations. Beautiful spacious comfy rooms equipped with everything you might need. Extremely comfortable futon beds, sleeping on these made me really want to have these at home. Both indoor and outdoor onsens were great and were never crowded, you could always take your time and enjoy hot bath. We really enjoyed wearing yukatas in the ryokan which also added to the atmosphere of the place. Food was perfect as well! We really enjoyed the traditional Japanese breakfast and the dinner that we ordered was just phenomenal and probably one of the best ones we ever had. Can't even say how many dishes it included as there were just too many but everything was delicious and regardless of the food preferences you would find something you'll enjoy. And finally the staff of the ryokan - extremely welcoming, helpful and willing to teach you something new about Japanese culture. They took us to the Jigokudani monkey park by car and were even offering to drive us to the train station when we were leaving even though it's like 5 minutes away by feet. Just to sum this up, If you're considering going to Yudanaka - this is THE place to stay.
