The food can’t be beat, I truly enjoyed the multi course traditional meals. The staff goes above and beyond and exceeded my expectations. A big thanks to Shoya! He made my stay extra fun.

Wanted to see some proper snow after being deprived of it for a couple years in Tokyo, and certainly got my fix here. Town and countryside were a magical white on arrival, and had some steady snow falls during my 1-week stay. Also easy access to the local ski-fields at nearby Shiga Kogen and Ryuo. Hotel is a 10 min walk uphill from station, which is terminus for a convenient connecting express train from Nagano bullet train. Friendly, professional hotel staff. Nice town/mountain views from lobby/lounge. Delicious kaiseki-style breakfast. Two types of baths - large public bath downstairs, and open air private bath on the roof (great for watching the sunset), and they even have gaijin-sized yukata owns! Nice town/mountain views from lobby/lounge. Good base for exploring nearby shrines/temples around Yudanaka and historic Shibu Onsen. Of course the visit to the snow monkeys is a highlight, not to mention the amazing hill-side hike to get there! Great late-winter escape.

We stayed here 2 nights to see the snow monkeys and visit Obuse. It was our first Japanese Ryokan so it was quite an experience. After struggling up from the station through the snow with our luggage we were told that we were too early to check in, so had to leave our bags and wander off for some lunch. When we returned we were greeted with green tea and then taken up to our room. There was a step inside the room where you need to take your shoes off, but unfortunately my friend didn't see this, tripped over it and fell headlong. The little lady showing us in seemed more concerned about the need to take shoes off than checking that my friend was actually OK. Inside it was a classic Japanese room with tatami mats, a low table with chairs without legs, a little balcony type area with chairs with legs and a bathroom where the toilet and bath/shower were separated off with their own doors. While we were at dinner the table and chairs were moved aside for futons to be set up on the floor. The ladies on reception were very helpful. They provided us with a map of the hotel showing the location of the restaurant and the baths and they booked us a taxi for the morning so that we could make an early start for the monkey park. When we arrived at the restaurant for dinner we were shown to our own little room with a table and chairs (with legs) with sliding doors where the staff would arrive with all the different courses for dinner. The were aware that I didn't eat meat, so tailored food arrived for me. They really made an effort to explain the courses to us and in some cases to explain how long we needed to leave things on a burner. It was all quite an experience and breakfast was similar, which we hadn't really been prepared for and meant we headed off to find some English tea and coffee afterwards. However, we felt it was a worthwhile experience.

Snow Monkey Town Syunran no Yado Sakaeya .We are located near the Jikokudani Yaenkoen (Snow Monkey Park), with a bus stop only two minutes walking distance from the hotel. And we are only a five minute drive from the train station! We also have menus and brochures in English available. We only serve the finest food from the Shinshu area, and we will welcome you warmly and do our best to make your stay a memorable one!
Our guide was able book us into using the onsens, as they weren't being used by guests, during our recent trip to see the snow monkeys, and we loved it. Excellent facilities and friendly staff had us wishing we could have stayed a few nights here. I will definitely be staying here the next time we are in town. Highly recommended.

~ From Tokyo or Osaka: Take a train (Shinkansen) or bus (Willer,...) to Nagano City, from there get on the train heading to Yudanaka and stop at Yudanaka Station. ~ From there, take the bus for Kanbayashi or Shigakogen from Yudanaka station (Nagano dentetsu line) and get off at Shibuwagobashi bus stop (about 7min). The bus stop is located in front of the bridge (Shibuwagobashi) along the Yokoyu river. The hostel is just 2 minutes walk away at this point. Walk up the stream a little, take the first left (just opposite to the bridge), go straight and turn right at the second corner, from there walk straight up and you will see Nozaru hostel (four-storied building: the old name is Komatsuya-ryokan) just before the Onsen temple.
We booked Nozaru Hostel because it was the cheapest (around 40€) in the area AND one of the closest stays to the Snow Monkeys. Which doesn't mean next door. You still either need to walk 45 mins or take a bus and walk 25 mins to reach the entrance of the park. The bus (no.1) ride from the station to Nozaru Hostel takes about 7 minutes and leaves once or twice an hour. You get off at Shibuwagobashi Station and walk 4 mins to the hostel. It is quite a big building with 4 or 5 floors. The overall impression is a bit worn down and with some more dedication you could create a really nice hostel. They have an onsen on the ground floor which is used for the shower as well though it was not very busy. Our room was in the 4th floor and we had a nice view. Unfortunately you couldn't open the windows - they were taped. What we really didn't enjoy so much was the cold temperatures inside the room - especially when you have to turn the heater on every 5 minutes. The Japanese style sleep on the futon was fine though - covered in duvets. And one very positive aspect: It was spacious! Enough space for luggage and chill out sessions on the matress. The receptionist lady who seemed to be the owner spoke very good English and was helpful with everything we needed. It is just a pity that they don't put more effort into this place as it is perfectly located in the onsen street. We are not picky but in this case it is hard to rate "very good" or "excellent".

Offering a free-use reservable hot-spring bath, shared indoor and outdoor hot-spring baths, and traditional multi-course dinners with Shinshu beef, Shibu Hotel is 8 minutes from Yudanaka Train Station on the free shuttle. The traditional rooms have Japanese-style futon bedding on a tatami (woven-straw) floor. Yukata robes, green tea and floor-cushion seating allow you to experience Japan's unique culture. More universal facilities include air conditioning, a mini-fridge and a TV. Each room has a private toilet, and guests bathe at the hot-spring baths. Snow Monkey Park is a 25-minute trip (10-minute drive + 15-minute walk) from the hotel, and the Nakayama Shinpei Memorial Museum is a 20-minute drive. Zenkoji Temple is a 1-hour drive. On-site parking is free. When not luxuriating in the hot-spring baths, you can check out the gift shop. Free Wi-Fi is provided at the lobby. The set-menu Japanese breakfast and dinner are served at the dining room. You must check in by 18:00 to eat dinner at the property. Guests who check in after this time may not be served dinner, and no refund will be given.
Spent 8 days here recently, skiing at nearby Shiga Kogen. Simply the best hotel we've stayed at in our many trips to this wonderful country. Not because its facilities are super luxurious - they're not but they are very comfortable - but rather because of the delightful, ever accommodating, ever helpful owners and staff. I recommend this hotel, without reservation.

Hotel Omodaka was fantastic! We've been up to Yamanouchi a few years ago and stayed at a much more expensive ryokan, but this trip we were trying to find something that was traditional but a bit more reasonable. I'm SO glad we ended up here! First, the owners were an adorable couple who were so friendly, helpful and accommodating. It was like staying with family. As per our booking, we called ahead the day before to confirm our reservation and book the free shuttle to the hotel from the station. We arrived a bit early at the station so the lady at the station called the hotel and they were there in minutes. What service! Our room was large, clean, and had the traditional futons and tea service set out when we arrived. We had the private bathroom in our room as well. We discussed what time would work for us for dinner. Note - for the full traditional Japanese experience, DEFINITELY book the dinner and breakfast with your room. It's so unique and high end, and they always use the freshest local ingredients. We donned our yukatas (casual kimono robes provided) and went to our private dinner just down the hall. Trust me, it's a very cool meal full of foods you're not used to eating, but there's so much variety and it's all so well prepared that you will not go hungry. (and please remember that it's rude not to eat your meal, so do your best to ingest as much as is polite). We then headed to the hot springs (men and women are separate). After you change out of your clothes and put them in the bins, the first room you enter is the bath, where you can either sit in the hot pool or use the shower heads around the room (shampoos, soaps and facial cleaners included). We found the pool way too hot, so we used some peel cream on our faces and just sat under the shower heads. Then we realized there were stairs outside that led to the outdoor hot tub! The temperature was much more tolerable out here because of the chilly air, and you get a great view of the town if you stand by the wall. Our room had its own heater and a window that opened and overlooked the river and town. We slept comfortably and soundly. We had arranged for our breakfast at 8am, and they called for us when it was time. We once again donned the yukatas and had breakfast on the main floor with other guests. The breakfast is very traditional Japanese, so if you're hoping for toast and eggs you will be disappointed. But it's all about the experience, and I loved to try what a fancy Japanese breakfast would be like! We then were given a ride in the shuttle to the snow monkey park and made arrangements for a pickup time as well, while they held our luggage at the front desk. After being picked up at the park, we drove back to the hotel, got the luggage and said our goodbyes and then we were taken to the train station. They make it all so easy for you, and their English was pretty good so communication wasn't really an issue (But I recommend Google Translate App for the trip either way). We were treated like royalty and had an amazing trip up to Yamanouchi thanks to the wonderful owners and staff here at Hotel Omodaka! Arigato gozaimasu!

A big room with the bedding laid out in advance, an unexpected touch as were the ensuite bathing facilities which I did not use because the indoor-outdoor onsen within the property was beautiful and inviting in the falling snow. My car was professionally parked and delivered every morning, cleared of snow and warmed up, just as in a five-star city hotel. I was happy to take my meals in the restaurant which served traditional onsen-ryokan food. I am returning for another ski trip and I enjoyed the drive up the mountain to Shiga Kogen ski resort every morning. Just make sure you have snow tires and 4-wheel drive. The hotel is well-staffed and the rates are low, an unusual combination.
