Love the set up of the room with the sitting area and table. The boiling water for tea was lovely. The heater was nice enough and very necessary. The private onsen with door that locks was very nice for my partner and I- tattoo friendly. The onsen town is so lovely! We walked down to shibu onsen for supper, it’s about a 15 minute walk. Less than 10 minute walk from the station, which is where you can catch the bus for a short ride to snow monkey park. The hosts are very friendly! The breakfast was very yummy with many options.

Outdated for sure, which I knew it would be from other reviews. The heater shuts off every now and then (when the room gets to the set temperature maybe) and then it gets really cold. I thought breakfast was included, but had to pay for it after the fact. Also paid a small fee for using the onsen that I didn’t realize we would have to pay.

It is as it says a very traditional ryoken and loved the experience of it! My room had a lovely view of the garden and I spent a lot of time sitting just peacefully looking out. Very close to a bus stop that takes you to snow monkey park (and only 10 minute walk from train station from Nagano).

As others have said it could do with a bit of a dust and the hallways are freezing (I was there in January so winter so to be expected). The WiFi only works in 1 room so I had to rely on my own data while in my room. Onsen is an extra charge and was very hot (again know this isn’t the owners fault).

Kind owners, lots of space, delicious meals. You will like this place if you enjoy simple, cosy, authentic accommodation. The views out of my room were beautiful, and the atmosphere – peaceful.

A bit old, dusty, spider webs here and there. An old house, so sound isolation isn't great. Personally, these things didn't bother me much, and didn't spoil the overall positive impression.

The couple who run the ryokan are lovely and the setting is tranquil. The rooms are authentic and huge and very relaxing. It's an easy walk to Yudanaka Station where there is a bus to the Snow Monkeys and the Sorra Terrace.

The bathrooms needed cleaning and the onsen needed an upgrade.The only place open to buy food was Lawson.

Beautiful rooms and facilities. Lovely staff that left little gifts for me in the room (still dreaming of the apple juice I got!). Fantastic views of garden, wonderful traditional onsen. Nicely located close to street with restaurants and cafes, and some sights like temples and public onsens. Perfect location for going to see the snow monkeys!

We very much appreciated been picked up & returned to train station at end of our stay, our room was very comfortable & pleasant facilities. Comfortable traditional room. People whom owned the property very friendly.

I think there prob needs little attention to upgrading baths & small areas need bit more maintaining. Also information eg cafes & restaurants open & times buses to snow monkeys as we were picked up missed this information from tourist bureau.

I liked the charm of an old ryokan. The quietness of th place is amazing. The food served for breakfast and dinner was delicious. The hosts were vers nice and adorable. It's close to the train station.

I loved the hosts, the traditional style of the ryokan, the room was absolutely gorgeous, the location was really nice too :) and the onsen had really nice piping hot water! Loved it!!

I liked everything :)

Beautiful traditional Ryokan with lovely hosts. The location is perfect, surrounded by nature. The onsen onsite was so nice and the food was delicious. We loved the fresh air and beautiful space.

an absolutely beautiful ryokan run by a lovely family :) the room was amazing with very warm comfy beds, the view is stunning and the onsen was well needed after some snowy days! had a wonderful stay and will be back next time we are in Japan.
