Find 3-Star Hotels in Yamanouchi

My stay at this ryokan in Shibu Onsen was an unforgettable experience! From the moment we arrived, the hospitality was impeccable. The ryokan features private onsen that can be booked in advance, offering an intimate and serene experience. Soaking in the warm, mineral-rich waters while gazing at the surrounding natural beauty was a highlight of the trip. The ryokan’s free shuttle service made exploring the area incredibly convenient. We were easily transported to the iconic Snow Monkey Park, the nearby train station, and other local attractions, which added to the seamless experience. The dining experience was nothing short of spectacular. Both private breakfast and dinner were served in a tranquil setting, with beautifully prepared dishes showcasing the best of seasonal and local ingredients. The flavors were authentic and delicious,

We were pampered by this hotel the moment we checked in! Glad to have stayed in Sakaeya and the inhouse Onsen is superb!

The hotel's room is not very large, probably because it is the relationship of the ski hotel, so what equipment, can only say that. However, the back door of the hotel is directly a ski lift, so it is very convenient

We were there in February, it was minus outside, but the room had a heater and air conditioning. Not frozen. The hotels have three onsens, one shared for men, one for women and one private. They also give you the key to 9 public onsens in the village. The hostess can pick you up or take you to the nearest station, she also took us to dinner and to Monkey Park. Breakfast is traditional. And in general, the hotel is traditional Japanese, I advise anyone who is interested in staying in a traditional hotel. But keep in mind that you need to sleep on the tatama and wear slippers, they are not allowed in the shower, and you also need to wash in the onsen.

The location is perfect!! Just at the bus stop. But if you are skiing somewhere at Okushiga, better take the earlier buses. It was so crowded by the time it got to our stop we could not get up. Our room had a view of the mountains so we were really happy waking up to a winter scene. Room was huge so easily fit 4 pax. Breakfast was functional but that area really had not much food around so better to eat at the hotel. For dinners the food trucks are just opposite so really convenient. Also some shabu shabu places opposite the hotel as well as a yamazaki store and yakiniku too. There was a rental shop at hotel but really basic. Don't expect too much. The bath was also average only. Nothing fancy. The place has no body lotion so be aware!

Trip.com There are too few reviews of this hotel, let me introduce it in detail Skiing: The hotel is at the foot of the Xiongzhitang ski resort. It takes 5 minutes to walk. You can go directly to the door when you slide back. There is a bus at the entrance of the hotel. Take 2 stops to Hengshou Mountain (walk for 10 minutes), and take 25 minutes to the mountain station. It is one of the two ski resorts in the Hengshou Mountain area. If you come to Shiga Plateau for the first time, you may go to the Oshiga area a little farther. If you are an old hand, you want to experience the beauty of the snow-capped mountains of Hengshou Mountain. You can rest assured to stay. Xiongzhitang also has a night scene, which can increase some happiness at night. Dining: The order contains breakfast and dinner set, breakfast buffet, you can eat very full, there are coffee, apple juice, milk, there are also various salads, ham, bread, natto, dinner is a set meal, every night is different, meat is not much, but enough to eat, if not enough, you can add money to upgrade the package or a la carte, Most of the seafood for dinner, there is at least one hot pot every day, dinner starts at 6 o'clock, and you can seamlessly connect to the night skiing of Xiongzhitang. Facilities: fixed and Western (two single beds), the bed is very soft, but not too big, if you can accept tatami, you can also try, but every day skiing back, but also squat in place, it is really tiring and tatami will be harder, there is no refrigerator in the house, you can put drinks in the mezzanine window, There is a small TV, but it has never been opened. The bathroom is separated from wet and dry. The bathroom area is relatively large. There is a storage area in the house. You can put snowpacks and other items. The charging plug is also very complete. Because this is a gas stove, all kinds of electrical appliances are recommended to go to the hot spring to avoid tripping. The bed is very soft, the thickness of the sheets can be adjusted by yourself, and the comfort is no problem. Hot springs: the most famous green hot springs nearby, full of sulfur smell (other hotels are hot spring water from the outside of the mountain, only this one is directly covered on the hot spring eyes, very good) The bathing location of the hot spring is slightly cold, but the indoor hot spring is very hot. Men and women have outdoor baths. They will exchange positions at noon every day. The open-air wind can watch the snow in the sky to enjoy the natural happiness, or the snow can be used in the hot springs, on the side of the ice, the hot spring water has a great sulfur taste, very natural, with a good skin effect Service: Most of the waiters in the hotel are Japanese. English is really not good (the elderly English is actually better than the young people). They have their own set of rules. For example, breakfast drinks cannot be taken away. There are two Taiwanese waiters who are very enthusiastic and will be very active to help you plan your time. Very friendly. There is a supermarket on the first floor of the hotel (not much to sell, not as complete as the supplies at the mountain station), a vending machine on the third floor (not too much drinks to sell), an automatic massage chair on the first floor (very popular), and a billiard table (but it seems that the ball is not enough), there is a mini museum, The hotel's other amusement facilities are really not enough, you may wish to experience the joy of skiing and hot springs. Others: There are temporary storage for men and women on the basement floor (you can save the bag for another day after check out, and then come back to soak in the hot springs and return. The front desk brother will remind you to keep the bath towels, and wait for the hot springs to return together, very intimate), there is a stove to roast ski equipment, There is a drop of help, each room has its own storage cabinet to place snowboards, the space is not large, but enough to put two snowboards

I saw many Japanese elderly couples, girlfriends, and many students coming here to play. The hotel is very old, the air conditioner squeaks, there are some mosquitoes, and the refrigerator is sometimes good and sometimes bad. It was normal on the first day, but on the second day, all the fruits we bought were frozen into hard ice. But the hygiene is OK. You can see that they are trying their best to maintain it. In addition to the public hot springs, there are two private hot springs, Xing and Yue, which can be reserved by guests. There is free oden in the rest area every afternoon, which is very heartwarming. The breakfast is also good and very rich. In addition, Nagano and Shijiazhuang are friendly cities. Table tennis is very popular here, and there are table tennis balls in the lounge. The hotel is very close to Yudanaka Station, a two-minute walk, and is generally recommended.

The hotel is very convenient. There is a ski locker downstairs opposite the ski resort. It is also convenient to go to all the major ski resorts, and there is a bus stop not far from the door. The hotel is still very warm overall, the hot spring is very clean, and it is also the activity venue of the photographer club, with many beautiful photography works. The room is not small, the bed is comfortable, but the bathroom is a little small. There are not many places to eat nearby, but the hotel's breakfast and dinner are not bad, but you need to make an appointment in advance (dinner must be made at 6:00 a day in advance), and there is a bar on the second floor where you can make tea or grind coffee by yourself. Overall, I am very satisfied, except that I eat less. The waiter at the front desk is a little cold and sticks to the principle (for example, if you go to make an appointment for the next day's dinner at 18:10, you will not be allowed to make an appointment...) I will consider staying here next time!

I only stayed one night in this beautiful ryokan and in Yamanouchi but I could easily have stayed longer, as there seems to have trekking opportunities in the area. The ryokan itself is great on all levels: clean, quiet at night and has an authentic feel. The staff is very helpful and speaks fluent English. When you arrive, it will provide you with traditional Japanese clothing in which you'll wander by the streets, go to restaurants and most importantly, explore the 9 public and free onsen in the village. I slept in a 3 bed dormitory and hadn't slept so well for several days. A free shuttle service will bring you to the next bus station (perhaps train station as well)

Stayed in Japanese style room. Plenty big enough for three. Pillows were rock hard but futons comfy. No english channels on tv. Shared bath house which was great. Stayed start April so most restaurant and shops shut, very little choice. Had buffet breakfast at hotel which had good variety . would recommend hotel if you can pick up a deal. straight across the road from inchiose skifield but very limited lifts open and actually walked about 15 minutes down the road to other fields with a lot more lifts running. As spring we were able to catch chairlift for free to then ski down to gondola to buy lift tickets. Good skiing on Olympic courses.
