3-Star Hotels in Yamanouchi

We are very impressed with the hotel service.The hotel makes travel convenient and smooth.There are pick-up and drop-off fromYudanaka Station to the hotel and drop-off at Monkey onsen.The hotel is in the good location,in the heart of Shibu Onsen, beutiful view of the mountian and river in front.The beer, white and red wine in the refrigerator in the room are free.The onsen is not very big but clean.Dinner and breakfast are fresh and delicious. Shibu Hotel is a very good hotel,worth staying.

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)

When I arrived at Yudanaka Station, I tried to call on my cell phone, but the phone didn't work, so I was able to request a shuttle service with the help of the station staff. It didn't take long for the staff to come and we were able to move quickly and comfortably. From the time I arrived, they came out to the door and greeted me kindly, and they kindly explained the nearby hot spring tour and the use of the ryokan facilities. We were a family of four (2 adults, 2 children), but the accommodation was not small. Dinner on the day of check-in and breakfast the next day were provided, and the meals were delicious, and the staff who served the food were also very kind. When I returned to the room after dinner, a cozy blanket was set up, so I could rest comfortably. When I checked out the next day, I was able to go to the monkey park through the shuttle service. Overall, all the staff were very kind, so I felt good. The facilities were clean, and there were many things to see around, so I definitely want to go again next time. I highly recommend it to others.

Because we wanted to watch the fireworks festival and experience the hot springs, we booked a room here. We were greeted by a grandfather. It was a little late and raining when we arrived at Yudanaka. The grandfather came to pick us up. It was very comfortable to soak in the hot springs. Yudanaka should not be the peak tourist season. Maybe we arrived too late and left too early. The road was very deserted and there were not many people.

After seeing the snow monkeys from Jigokudani, the taxi fare is only 1,500 yen. If you don’t have any luggage, you can walk to the hotel. When checking in, the front desk will ask you about your dinner and breakfast times, and also when you plan to leave, so that we can arrange a suitable time to send you to Yudanaka Station. The waiter will then take you to your room. The suite we booked is called Fuyun. It has an entrance hall. There is a bathroom and washing area at the entrance. There are two large Western-style beds behind it. Near the end of the bed is a pair of floor-to-ceiling windows. Further inside is a huge Japanese-style living room. It is enough to lay Japanese-style beds for 4 people. The living room also has a row of windows overlooking the main hotel building and the snow-capped mountains in the distance. There is also a semi-open terrace and a private hot spring. We didn't have time to visit and use the hotel's shared hot springs. The temperature of the hot spring bath in the room is moderate, hot enough but not too hot. I can sit directly in the tub without having to stand on tiptoe to adapt to the temperature. Our dinner was set in a very spacious private room. The food was very rich and there were a lot of vegetables. My child who likes meat but not vegetables would be unhappy. Anyway, I like it very much. If I go to the room after eating too much, I will Have a cup of coffee to help digestion. We have a Nespresso capsule coffee machine in our room, which provides two types of coffee capsules, which suits my taste and is very good! This trip was a quick one and we couldn't arrange time to walk around Yuhataka Station and feel the flavor of the hot spring street. We will come back next time.

It was brilliant! It is the same with pictures on this site. They gave me yukata and towel and changed it every day. I had a tea and enjoyed it on my balcony. I tried a futon at first time in my life. I had my own reserved table for breakfast. ❗❗❗The hotel has its own bus with driver, which took me to the Snow Monkey Park and to the station for free! Actually staff was so polite! It is seems like you are someone important. Actually the only one minus that you can't go to all 9 Shibu Onsen's baths, but just to 9th bath only. But the hotel has its own bath even open-air. It was really nice and comfortable accommodation.

Likes the breakfast, room was huge. Great if you’re skiing or snowboarding at Ryu. However, hotel does not have parking, requires snowmobile to shuttle up and down or sometimes climb the hill if the shuttle is not available. Overall, I would visit again only if I’m skiing there.

More traditional Japanese-style hotel, dinner is eaten at the izakaya opposite, there are packages and a la carte to choose from, OK, relatively quiet, breakfast is simple, there is bread coffee juice, if you can be rich, it is better

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

在湯田中車站附近的旅館羣中，距離車站大概2-300米。嘉美也是個日式感十足的旅館，蘑菇頭小哥會詳細的介紹各種情況以至於我感覺從入住到拿到鑰匙進房中間聽他介紹了大概20-30分鐘。 我們入住的園景+浴室房，其實是公用園景，其他房間如果有人在移門邊的話是會看到的。浴室以為是露天泡澡池，其實是房間內有個廁所帶浴室而已，且浴室冬天極冷，只有一個小取暖爐，沒啥大用。房間內空調感覺也不太給力，還有個大暖爐，靠近很暖和，房間內總體是暖和的。入住時旅館會在房間內保温好熱水、日式點心供旅客使用。 因為房間很少，所以晚上極為安靜，不會有樓上以及關門聲。 這家旅館內提供兩個公共温泉（含露天温泉池），晚餐以及另外兩個温泉需要走5分鐘到萬屋內使用。 整體體驗還是不錯的，但是萬物晚餐和旅館內早餐都是日式料理風格，個人不喜歡。
