We pre-booked breakfast, which was mostly Japanese style buffet, although a small selection of croissant and cereal available. Pre-booked dinner was Fabulous! Hotpot & DIY BBQ style meat with soups and veggies each night. Different variations for each of the 3 nights we were there. Definitely recommend pre-booking meals as nowhere close/easy to go. Staff - AMAZING. Even with small amount of English - very easy to communicate. Ski/clothing/gloves/helmet hire very easy to access in hotel but quite dated, although fine for 2-3 days of skiing. We had to buy lift tickets across the road at lift ticketing office, which was simple. Onsen absolutely fabulous. Beautiful shampoos/conditioner etc provided. Robes available in hallway shelves, along with help yourself green tea at any time. Bus stop 1 minute walk away. Great family hotel.

Location was great and staff was really helpful. I got the meal package and it was great. Delicious breakfasts and dinners and really affordable if you prebook with your room booking. The communal meals are also a great spot to meet other travelers if you’re travelling alone.

Superb - What previous guests thought, 60 reviews
Quite frankly, I’d like to move in permanently. Our room was huge, well-furnished and with extremely comfortable futons. Plenty of wardrobe space as well which we’ve found a rarity in Japanese accommodation. The private toilet, wash basin and shower are all in separate areas so it’s easy for different occupants of the room to be doing different things. Lovely yukata and happi coats provided for the stay. We had half board and the evening meal was outstanding with multiple dishes, all beautifully presented. Breakfast was good as well with a few western-style dishes alongside the Japanese ones. Plus there are onsens for guest use including an outdoor one that was just bliss in the chilly evening. I haven’t mentioned the staff. Unfailingly courteous and helpful and most of the ones we met were kind enough to speak excellent English. We stayed in October, outside the ski season, and thought it phenomenally good value. I would really love to be able to stay again.

Not sure what some comments are on about. Yes this hotel appears a little dated at first sight but it is incredibly charming. After arrival at Yudanaka station, I went to the tourist information center and the staff helped me to call Hotel Housei and they picked us up in 5 minutes. The indoor and especially, outdoor onsen were amazing! The dinner and breakfast were good. After checkout, the hotel ferried us to the snow monkey park while keeping our luggage at the hotel, which we picked up afterwards and the hotel ferried us back to Yudanaka station. The staff were incredibly friendly throughout, and most knew really good English. This was the best Ryokan experience I ever had and this is my third trip to Japan. Finally, I paid the equivalent of $83 USD for 1 night.

Everything!! The room was stunning with its private onsen where we could customize the water temperature while enjoying breathtaking panoramic views. The staff went above and beyond with their exceptional kindness and attentiveness. A special mention goes to the onsen lady! It was a pleasure communicating with her despite language barriers. Both dinner and breakfast were delicious and generously portioned. This experience truly represents everything we love most about Japan. A perfect stay! ありがとうございました！GRAZIE!

Incredible service and incredible overall experience. It's like staying in a fancy cabin in the snow. The lounge area with the giant fireplace is awesome, very nice food, very spacious rooms and first class facilities such as the onsens and indoor swimming pool. The decor could be interpreted as dated (as other reviews have stated) but we felt this simply adds to the warmth and cosiness of the establishment. The service here is seriously next level and it is fantastic value for money.

The private onsen was very pleasant and allowed couples to bath together unlike the public baths. The location was very convenient for access to the public onsen also with numbers 1 and 2 only 100 meters or so away. The Japanese breakfast and dinner included with the room was excellent with very attentive and personal service.

10 out of 10 in everything. The staff were going above and beyond to help you. They took our suitcases near the train station so we don't miss our train. The dinner was one of the best meals we've had in our lives. The baths are actually all natural hot springs. The facilities were exceptionally clean. The view was stunning.

The monkeys are marvellous.

The monkeys are marvellous. Of course they are attracted to the valley by the food they receive regularly but they are totally free to come and go. So entertaining and endearing to observe how they interact. The park was created in 1964. Beautiful forest in a mountainous area that grows apples, peaches and grapes and lots of vegetables. Pay attention to the hotel you choose. Avoid Hotel Housei.

I think I would have stayed a little longer (than 3 nights) to take advantage of the skiing and the onsen's (alternate between the two!), to relax for longer in the Japanese countryside. (I did not come to Japan to just check off the tourist sites...) The town has narrow streets to walk on, even without gps you cannot get lost as it is more or less parallel to the river, especially the more tourist section with all the onsens.

For a tourist location, it was hard to find restaurants open, or willing to seat us (a party of five). But in general the food was good and the location was great for hot springs and access to the snow monkey park.

The Onsen hot springs experience was unique and for anyone wanting to see how the Japanese hold this aspect of their beliefs in such high regard this area is a perfect example and for a couple of days you can immerse yourself in a different cultural and culinary experience that will be the highlight of your holiday and the truest insight of this unique way of life.
