Hotel con terme a Yamanouchi

⭐Posizione geografica: La sorgente termale di Yudanaka è relativamente vicina a Jigokudani Monuen, a 20 minuti a piedi dalla stazione. Va notato che puoi prendere la stazione prima delle 17:00. Siamo arrivati ​​alle 17:30, ma il capo ha detto che non potevamo ritirare . Anche se la distanza non è lunga, ci vuole comunque un po' di tempo per camminare sulla strada di montagna. Puoi anche prendere un autobus che passa ogni mezz'ora. ⭐Servizio: Ci sono due negozianti che ti servono e il loro atteggiamento è molto buono. Ti aiuteranno a consegnare i tuoi bagagli al bar vicino alla stazione quando viaggerai il giorno successivo. Da notare che se fai il check-in dopo le 15 non potrai telefonare la mattina. Ho lasciato qualcosa in camera Dopo tre chiamate non ha risposto nessuno il negozio per riprenderlo. ⭐Servizi: La disposizione delle camere è relativamente semplice e le strutture sono relativamente semplici. A dire il vero, il riscaldamento è relativamente piccolo e fa un po' freddo di notte. Non c'è né doccia né WC e il lavandino ha solo acqua fredda. Le docce e le sorgenti termali devono essere pagate a parte, 500 yen. I bagni pubblici (tutti i piccoli hotel in stile giapponese sono così) sono molto puliti, perché ci sono poche stanze e pochi ospiti, e non hai mai toccato nessun altro nel bagno. . In ogni caso il rapporto prezzo/prestazioni è abbastanza buono. ⭐Pasti: Il nostro ordine includeva cena e colazione, ma le porzioni erano piccole e non sufficienti a saziarci. Assicurati di comprare del cibo da Lawson quando esci dalla stazione. Non ci sono minimarket nella strada delle sorgenti termali! L'acqua minerale non viene fornita ed è previsto un costo aggiuntivo di +100 yen. ⭐Sorgente termale: Puoi immergerti in 9 zuppe per strada, ma c'è solo una chiave, quindi devi andarci separatamente. La zuppa privata nel negozio si trova in B1. È relativamente semplice, ha molta umidità e non è molto pulita. Si consiglia di andare alla zuppa pubblica. Anche se il capo ha detto che non c'è posto per fare il bagno nel bagno pubblico, quindi puoi comprare solo un bagno privato con doccia, il che è un po' imbarazzante.

We had a wonderful stay and truly enjoyed every moment. The hostess is incredibly welcoming and a genuinely lovely person — she even kindly drove us to the train station, which we deeply appreciated. The breakfast was outstanding, and the onsen was beautiful and very peaceful. Having a private onsen was especially convenient, as it allowed us to enjoy the experience together as a family without needing to separate. Our room was very spacious and authentically Japanese, with excellent-quality bedding. The mattresses, pillows, and high quality shits  were exceptionally comfortable and made for a perfect night’s sleep. A lovely touch was the complimentary milk served in adorable small glass bottles — delicious and charming. The location is simply ideal: perfectly situated near public onsens and great restaurants, truly the best location one could imagine. We would happily return and highly recommend this stay to anyone looking for comfort, authenticity, and warm hospitality.

This small family owned onsen was a total jewel. Snuggled in a quiet small town. The scenery was amazing and local enough to walk to beautiful shrines and delicious local restaurants. I recommend booking breakfast, as it is a very private experience with an exquisite spread of traditional Japanese plates. The owners are sweet and super accommodating, with proper communication as we arrived super late (2:00am) and were still just as friendly and helpful.

La nostra famiglia ha fatto un viaggio speciale da Tokyo a Nagano, e oltre a esplorare le attrazioni circostanti, guardando le scimmie di neve scorrere nelle calde primavera di Nozawa, e visitando il santuario Togakushi, l'accento di questo viaggio si trovava a Issa no Komichi Biyu no Yado. Inizialmente, avevamo aspettative modeste, pensando che fosse solo un'altra esperienza, ma, quando siamo arrivati nella neve Yudanaka Shibu Onsen, siamo stati immediatamente impressionati dalla calda e professionale ospite. Dalle ricette con attenzione alla cena eccellente e alla meraviglia pubblica unica, tutti gli aspetti superavano le nostre aspettative e ci lasciavano piacevolmente sorpresi. Non è stato solo un soggiorno alberghiero, è stato un viaggio inoltrabile nel cuore della cultura giapponese. Se stai pianificando un viaggio a Nagano, questo è certamente un posto di visita per vivere la perfetta miscela di fonti calde e natura!

Little gem of a location and hotel. Close to see the monkeys of Yamanochi. We had a room with bed, breakfast and evening meal, which was so fresh and tasted amazing. The breakfast made sure we were set up for the day. The staff were extremely helpful and friendly.

It's a 10 mins walk uphill from train station so maybe better to try to contact them for a complimentary pick up. The place is super grand and 2 onsens. A Instagram worthy one that the males and females get to use it at different timings. The shower stuff in the onsen are mediocre though. No fancy facial stuff for women unlike some other onsens at this price range. We had breakfast and dinner for the 2 nights. And well worth it. But you have to follow a fixed timing and we felt a bit rushed but otherwise it was really great and service perfect. We had one the biggest rooms I believe Room 716. Had a sitting area and also a sleeping area. Easily fits 8 persons. We were only 2. In the day they kept the futons and brought it out at night. Towels changed every night. There is a van that goes straight to Mount Yokoteyama ski resort. The receptionist didn't seem to know about it but you could try to Google. It was a complimentary ride to and fro if you bought the lift tickets. Took only like 30 mins to get there. You can get rentals at hotels there.

Amazing Stay at Hotel Iwasuge – A Hidden Gem for Ski & Onsen Lovers! We had an incredible stay at Hotel Iwasuge, which truly became the highlight of our trip. While the interior may be a bit dated, the five-star service and exceptional food more than made up for it. We stayed for two nights on a half-board plan, and every meal was different, delicious, and thoughtfully prepared. The hospitality was outstanding—every staff member was incredibly helpful and made us feel right at home. The location is perfect for skiing, with ski-in, ski-out access. There are two lifts right next to the hotel—one going up and one going down. The slopes nearby offer a mix of red and green tracks, making them ideal for beginners and families. Our kids especially loved the wide, easy slopes. We also rented ski equipment directly from the hotel (though helmets were not included). After a long day on the slopes, the Hoppo Onsen was the perfect way to relax. The onsen itself is so good that we noticed some visitors coming just for the hot spring experience! We have stayed in many four- and five-star hotels, and Hotel Iwasuge is truly one of the best. It may not be as widely known, but it absolutely deserves more recognition. We highly recommend it to anyone looking for a fantastic ski, onsen, and gourmet experience in Shiga Kogen. We can’t wait to return!

I had a wonderful stay at Amagawaso in Shibu Onsen. The ryokan is run by an elderly couple who don’t speak English, but they were incredibly sweet and welcoming. With the help of Google Translate, communication was easy enough and actually added to the charm of the experience. They provided yukata and geta for exploring the town, as well as the key that gives access to the nine public onsens in Shibu — an amazing and unique experience. On top of that, the ryokan offers a free 40-minute private onsen session, which was a lovely touch. Our room was very spacious, and shortly after we arrived, the hostess came in to prepare complimentary matcha tea for us. She also gifted us steamed buns filled with red bean paste, which felt incredibly thoughtful. The location is also very convenient for visiting the Snow Monkey Park, making it an excellent base for exploring the area. Overall, the hospitality was genuine, the onsen experience was fantastic, and the atmosphere felt authentically traditional. Highly recommend staying here if you’re visiting Shibu Onsen or planning a trip to see the snow monkeys.

Il servizio di trasferimento dell'hotel alla stazione di Yudanaka mi ha fatto un'ottima prima impressione. Sebbene le strutture siano un po' datate, il personale è molto cordiale, la camera è molto spaziosa e c'è una sorgente termale privata. Ogni mattina, l'hotel offre anche un servizio gratuito di trasferimento per lo Snow Monkey Park. Tuttavia, c'è una piccola pecca nel servizio che ho riscontrato personalmente. Al momento del check-in, l'hotel mi ha informato che il ritorno dallo Snow Monkey Park era previsto per le 12:00, giusto in tempo per l'autobus delle 12:30 per Nagano, ma in realtà erano le 12:30 del giorno dopo. Ho dovuto prendere l'autobus successivo per tornare a Nagano. Dato che c'erano meno autobus, era in ritardo di circa un'ora e mezza.

The room was very large and comfortable. What made the place great was the ping pong table, mini pool table. Once you understand the onsen process it is pretty easy. Note: restaurant is by reservation only. Dinner snow crab dinner is worth the price. Open bar. Also cash only needed do the hotel tax due at arrival.
