Find Places to Stay in Yamanochi, Shimotakai District on Airbnb

Koishiya ryokan is a really nice place, the room was beautiful and I had a great time going to the 9 onsen. The staff was wonderful, picking me up when I came in and getting me to the station with my luggage when I left.

Great staff who were very friendly and welcoming. Food in the restaurant was delicious.

great ambiance

Hot water tour, chartered hot spring was the best! I really want to come again without any complaints!

It is an awesome place. People working there are FANTSTIC. All of them are very nice person , very helpfully. The welcoming was incredible. They picked up and drop off from the bus station. Definitely I suggest this place . Thank you for everything.

Such a wonderful little (yet surprisingly big) place to stay if your headed skiing or, like us, to see the snow monkeys. The setting is absolutely stunning and the guys here go above and beyond to help. The rooms are spotless and cosy, we had never slept on a futon before but it was such a nice experience - the idiot proof instructions make it easy to set up. The restaurant / cafe area has a great social feel and the food was amazing. I would highly recommend walking from the station to the Ryoken as there is so much beauty in the area. We visited the private onsen as it came recommended and it was so worth it! Thank you so much for our night away from the hustle and bustle of the big cities.

This is a very cute house. Although the toilet and bathroom are shared, they are not crowded at all. The open-air wind is so beautiful. Although it is not in the house, it is very convenient to have a car to pick it up. The food in the restaurant is delicious. The reception staff at the front desk are so cute. They can speak English and Chinese in simple Chinese and Japanese. It is a good place to recommend to friends!

It’s very nice there. The shuttle service is perfect, restaurant, free Onsons, one private Onson (500¥), nice communication.. the room is a bit cold but it’s normal in this traditional houses.

Great service with drivers and incredible food

The quality of this Japanese style is second to none, from the moment we arrived to the morning we left the quality of service was terrific. Although there on hot spring bath was being repaired on the first day, we were provided entry into the public bath right next door. The quality of the traditional Japanese cuisine for dinner and was exceptional, breakfast was also very good. The traditional Japanese style room was quite large and very comfortable and the beds were laid out whilst we were at dinner. If you want to experience traditional Japanese hospitality, quality accommodation in a idyllic location and where your every need is taken care of I would highly recommend it. You will not be disappointed.

We loved our stay at Ryokan Warobino. The staff went above and beyond to make us comfortable. Pro’s:The ryokan is situated in the countryside outside of Nagano. There are 4 onsens on the property. There is a private one that you can rent by the hour. There’s a super cute ski hill 20 min away. Con’s: That we couldn’t stay longer. Thanks again!!

If you are looking for an authentic ryokan experience away from tourists, book this place immediately. The complimentary shuttle was a huge plus, it is a bit of a trip out going from Nagano station on the local line to the station where the host picks you up, but totally worth it. The inn keepers will also bring you back and forth from the station that takes you to see the snow monkeys if you want but the times are limited to their regular shuttle schedule (10AM out of inn, 4 or 4:30 pick ups at station). Definitely make time for a dinner and breakfast as part of your stay, the cost is extra but you get a unique and thoughtfully prepared meal. The private onsen looking over the mountain is an unforgettable experience. We cannot recommend this experience enough!

We had a great stay and Ando and team really went out of their way to make us feel special. Would highly recommend a stay. Amazing food, amazing location anf amazing staff.

Is a place that would highly recommend to stay The rooms are spacious, clean, comfortable, warm and would like to recommend. The onsen is beautiful and very private. If there is a chance we will definitely go back.

Ando went above and beyond to ensure we had a great trip! Amazing hospitality and amazing meals! Onsens were perfect way to unwind and we were lucky enough to see the snow! Once again thank you Ando for such a wonderful time!

Amazing place with great scenery! Breakfast and dinner a must-have, and there is to-and-fro transportation from Suzaka/Obtuse stations to the inn. There was slight communication in terms of the language, but the hosts remained patient with us nonetheless!

Comfortable and welcoming place and host

Yoshirou was friendly and warm. He picked us up from the local station and drove us to the house. He made us tea and we drank it in the lovely common space in front of the fire. Our room was very cute and warmed quickly with the heater. Yoshirou offered to drive us to local onsen and restaurant streets. We chose to walk to the nearest onsen for a bath (5-10min wander). The onsen seemed to be ok for a single point 20cm tattoo but we didn't see an official policy so your mileage might vary. Afterward Yoshirou drove us to around the station where we had dinner. Although the streets were very quiet during the day, at night there were several restaurants open. Hakko was delicious and a little expensive, and D-Line was a lively bar with lots of types of food. When we were finished we wrang Yoshirou and he picked us up quickly. We had a great time.

The host is a very nice person. The station pick-up is very beautiful and will take you to the nearby hot spring and monkey park. Finally, I will pick you up at the park and return to the station.

I like this homestay very much and can experience traditional Japanese rural homes. The landlord Mr. Fang Lang is very friendly! I recommend to all tourists who want to live in Yudanaka! Much liked the place, experiencing the most typical Japanese rural style living! Host Yoshirou San is a really friendly and nice person, I would recommend his place to anyone who wants to stay at Yodanaka for Shiga Kogen and Monkey Park!

The owner is very hospitable, kind, helpful. I met at the station in my car, drove to the monkey park. The rooms are clean, the house is cozy, the wood is heated, you feel at home. We advise everyone to visit this Guest House !!!!

Absolutely the best overall accommodation you could wish for in such a place! An old wooden converted cafe with a log burning fire, incredible value for money for that region.

Great place to get away from the hustle and bustle of the cities. Yoshirou is a super host that try’s to make your stay as good as it can be. Great food, great service and great location!!

Very nice traditional style room. We were very grateful to have Yoshirou drive us to and from the station.

We loved the two nights we stayed here, the hosts made us feel like part of the family.

Amazing hospitality, great place if you want to experience a traditional ryokan and the surrounding onsens, very comfortable rooms.

This was the perfect spot to stay and relax for my 2 days in Shibu Onsen. Aki and his family are impeccable hosts - always willing to help and give advice. The room was warm, and their onsen baths are very nice and clean. I can also highly recommend the meals there. Although the dinner seems pricey, it's the right price for what you get considering Japanese prices, and the breakfast is excellent. Altogether an awesome stay!!!

Staying here was a highlight of our trip! The staff were all very friendly, the meals were great, and the rooms were comfortable in winter. We also really enjoyed the onsen. The host offered to drive us to snow monkey park and the station, but we decided to walk to explore the town. Everything is in walking distance, which was nice.

Akira-san and his entire family are very friendly and helpful. They truly care for their guests and offered rides to and from the train station and to the monkey park. The space was beautiful, and the onsen was convenient and great for relaxation. Highly recommend!

We had an amazing time at the ryokan and the family there were very friendly and dedicated to giving us an authentic ryokan experience. We were also given transport to and from Yudanaka station as well as drop-off at the entrance to the snow monkey park! Amazing host!

This is an amazing place to stay! A must visit experience. The hosts are so awesome.

Akira and Uniko were exceptional hosts. This authentic Ryokan Experience of Japanese culture was so worth it. We had a very nice traditional meal at a local restaurant just a few doors away but if you do stay here you absolutely should book and enjoy a dinner and a breakfast. They were amazing. The Onsen was a welcome treat at the end of the day. Akira was generous to pick us up and drop us back the the railway station as well as take us to the Snow Monkeys. We could not recommend this more highly. 5+ stars

I had a great stay!

Great hostel! Provides mixed dorms as well as private rooms, has a bar with electronic darts, a nice cozy lounge area, and they also offer breakfast and lunch service. Really conveniently location if you are planning on visiting Snow Monkey Park or the nearby mountains. The staff all speak great English which made checking in a breeze. Would definitely recommend if you are traveling through the area.

Great place!

Clean hostel, good amenities, great location, and a zen outlook from the lounge area. What more can you hope for?

Very good

I usually avoid hostels, but in this area it's hard to get something private unless you want to spend lots of money for a hotel. Surprisingly, it was good. The staff is very friendly and helpful. I was in a 16 people dormitory, but on both nights just shared the room with one person. Only downside is the room temperature in winter. The heater goes off after 3 hours, so you'll wake up in a freezing room.

Wonderful place! It's so full of character and charm, I definitely want to come back next time I'm in Nakano. ❤ Note for future travelers, because of the building's age, it's a bit chilly in winter. Dont be like me and forget to pack super warm sleep/lounge wear! 😅

Super clean and tidy hostel. Only a few minutes walk from the train station and easy connection to the monkey park and hot springs. Staff is really friendly and helpful. Thanks for the stay!

Very good accommodation that was exactly how it was described. Yoshirou is an excellent host.

Wonderful kind, thoughtful host, gorgeous location, amazing breakfast (definitely get it!) And really close to jigokudani. I wish I had stayed there 2 nights instead of 1! Than you yoshirou.

Mr. Yoshirou is one of, if not, the best hosts I have ever been allowed to stay with. He was kind enough to pick up me and my friends from the train station, give us a ride back for the onsen (which was also spectacular and extremely affordable), and in the morning he even made us breakfast (for a small charge that he OFFERS once you check in). The breakfast itself was absolutely astounding and beyond worth the price we paid. To top that off he was so very kind and gave us so many tips about the area. I would happily stay with Yoshirou again the next time I come visit Nagano or Japan in general. Thank you very much!

nice view

Wow there are so many good things to say about Yoshirou's place!! I was blown away by how wonderful his hospitality was and how great the space was! Yoshirou went above and beyond, you won't regret staying here. First, Yoshirou was kind enough to pick us up from Yudanaka station late at night (when the last train of the day ran). The room was spacious and clean with a heater (Yoshirou also provides heated water bottles that goes at the foot of the futon) since it does get chilly at night. There is a private toilet and sink but no shower. However, Yoshirou does provide drop off and pick up for 2 onsens that are close by. We really enjoyed Kaede No Yu! Please try Yoshirou's great breakfast! For 800 yen, it is a steal, delicious, and varied! Along with the meal, he offers water, hot green tea, and hot coffee. One of our breakfasts included fruits, udon, pickled radish, and salad. Another breakfast included tempura/rice, miso soup, and fruit. We mentioned to Yoshirou about wanting to see the cherry blossoms, and he gave us a fantastic recommendation at Garyu Park in Suzaka city (easy to get to via train and a few stations away from Yudanaka station). On the morning of check out, I was running late but Yoshirou was very kind and drove us to Yudanaka station as quickly as he could and helped us with carrying luggage to the train. Overall, he is a fantastic host with a great space and recommendations and would do anything to make your stay comfortable!! Highly recommend!! Thank you for a good time in Nagano Yoshirou!!! We will definitely come back next time we are in Japan!

Yoshirou is the sweetest! He will pick you up/drop you off anywhere you need to go. Definitely pay the small cost for breakfast, it's a delicious feast! He gave us a good recommendation of when we should specifically see the monkeys and go to onsen and it worked out lovely! It was a bit difficult to communicate but we used translate app and were able to find out a bit about each other too :) we really loved our stay here. The futons were comfortable and the beds were warm even though it was snowing! Yoshirou was responsive and would pick us up within ten minutes from letting him know we were ready for a ride.

It’s one of the best places we’re we have been. It’s so beautiful! You can go to the snow monkeys and also go skiing or boarding. The only thing is you don’t have a shower in the room. You have to go to a onsen, but it’s ok.

Honami Kaido Guesthouse was our favourite accomodation in Japan. Yoshirou is an excellent host and sitting by the log fire, drinking hot chocolate, with views to the snow capped mountains, was pretty hard to beat. It was a much more personalised experience of Japan and one we loved. It is a long walk into Yudanaka but this is no problem as Yoshirou was happy to give us a lift to the onsen, the train station and even snow monkey park. It was great as we were able to be there before the crowds. There is no shower at Yoshiro's but the onsen in town is a great experience and the locals were so friendly that we were glad the hostel didn't have a shower. I would thoroughly recommend staying at Yoshirou's and we would definitely make an effort to stay again should we return to Japan. Thanks Yoshirou for your kindness and efforts to overcome the language barrier!

Really lovely homestay with a wonderful host. Suzie and Toru made us very welcome and were super helpful with information about the local area, tips and transport stuff. Breakfast was great and the beds were so comfy and warm! Would recommend a stay to anyone.

Friendly and comfortable space, both Suzie and Toru speak English very well and have great tips for whatever you want to see and do in their area. Walking distance to a great restaurant, the Farmhouse, and onsen, Waku Waku, and of course, the snow monkeys. As close as you can get to all of these and the popular ski hills; you will have to drive about 45 mins to the ski hills (snow tires or chains needed as you climb the hill, we did ok in a kei car with snow tires, but saw many vehicles stuck on the way up) or take a bus that runs pretty regularly and picks up right by their place. We stayed in a Japanese style room which was elegantly simple, wide and cozy. Kitchen was well stocked with cooking supplies, tea and coffee. Would recommend bringing food if you wanted to make meals, but they had some staples available and some extra items for sale like chips, pasta and beans if you needed on the fly for a few yen.

We had such a great stay here! Suzie and Toru are great hosts: fun to chat to, and very helpful with providing local tips and helping you get around. The house is comfortable and in a perfect location for Shiga Kogen. We will definitely be back one day :)

Outstanding hospitality! Great support in everything I needed or wanted to do. Definitely my warmest recommendation!

Perfect location close to monkey park. Great hosts.

SUZIE AND TORU ARE AMAZING! Everyone looking for an incredible Shiga-Kogen experience - look no further! Suzie and Toru were so helpful, kind, gave us some great local tips and were amazing to chat about all things travel! As soon as we walked into their place, it felt like home. A nice 10 minute walk to restaurants and the Shiga Kogen brewery and 40 minutes to the Snow Monkeys! The view from our bedroom was EPIC! Free parking, free coffee, free apples and great company! I wish I could give you 10 stars! We will be back! Love from Australia!

Very clean, very photogenic and a wonderful location. I would definitely return.

If you are visiting this area of Japan to enjoy the amazing snow conditions, this is your place! The location to access Shiga Kogen is just perfect. You have a bus 3 minutes walking from home towards to the different ski resorts. Really convenient. The Snow Monkey Park is also very close as you can walk from home. The house is very welcoming, the services in general are great, specially breakfast which was a nice surprise for us. The only point is that, due to the great location, the room may be a little noisy as the road is just in front. We heard the snow machines since early morning (which was a great signal by the way ☺️). We would recommend this place for sure and we would stay again if we have the chance to visit Japan in the future. Thank you Suzie and Toru!

The place is great. It feels homey. I realy enjoyed my stay and the host is very attentive.

The BEST AirBnB host I have ever met! The sweet couple went above and beyond in accomodating me. From picking me up at the Station to dropping me off to the snowmonkey resort, providing landmark spots and them booking me for my bus for my departure date as i cannot speak japanese. If you ever want to visit the snowmonkey i highly recommend going with this one because they will pick you up and drop you off to the place which will actually save you money and they will also help you beyond their duties as a host. I am truly touch by their kindness. The whole facility is also beautiful <3

Very clean, comfortable space

I had a perfect stay at Mr Shuichi’s guesthouse. The room was clean and in good size. The blankets were warm and the beds were super comfy. The night and morning snow view outside the window was fantastic. Mr Shuichi responded immediately to our questions and offered to pick us up at the station as we did not rent the car. He also drove us to the nearby restaurant and local onsen at night. The sukiyaki place he recommended was amazing and we loved it very much. He also mapped out the detail route of our next destination and drove us to the station, making sure we are in perfect hands with the tickets before leaving. I highly recommend Mr Shuichi’s guesthouse if you are travelling to Nagano. :)

Excellent stay. Very homely feel with Mr Shuichi San and wife taking care of you. Let's start of by reviewing the accommodation. 5 stars for the cleanliness. Very comfortable beds and decent size room. Mr Shuichi San takes care of very small details like making sure that the bathrooms are cleaned again after the previous guest have used it before your use. There were several Japanese travellers, friends, mother daughters, during our stay. I always think that if locals choose to stay, it must be good, and I am right. Mr Shuichi San offered to pick us up at the train station upon our arrival as we did not rent a car. He also offered to drive us straight to the snow monkey park the next morning. Really very thoughtful as getting there by ourselves may not be easy. On the last day as we checked out, Mr Shuichi San even helped us mapped out the detailed travel schedule to Masumoto castle and Daio Wasabi farm, evening planning some time for lunch. Recognizing that we are on a very tight schedule, we couldn't have manage to make the round trip within a day without his detailed planning. Overall a very excellent stay. Can't ask for more.

Perfect place in rural japan with an incredibly hospitable host. Highly recommend

Suichi has a lovely home and he is indeed a lovely host! It's a shame that we did not get to see the snow monkeys in autumn (we studied the webcam for 2 weeks, and not many monkeys came down!) but still, our stay at Kanoka guesthouse was great. Suichi went through all the trouble to plan our plan B trip to Kurobe Gorge and to Shirakawago according to the timetables of 4 different modes of transportation! Tq Suichi!

Shuichi’s guest house was lovely it was sparkling clean and modern. Shuichi was very friendly and so helpful, he picked us up from the train station, dropped us off at the snow monkey park and helped us to know which buses and trains to get to our next location. We would really recommend staying.

Awesome place very close to the station. A bit cold but thats most likely because of the thin walls. Very convenient location though

Incredible hospitality! The typhoon hit on my way to Nakano, but my hosts came and picked me up to save me from having to miss a night of accommodation. Lovely place too!

We stayed at Zen Hostel in the middle of Super Typhoon Hagibis so we were very grateful that we could be warm, safe, and comfortable. The common areas of the hostel are very nice, and we loved the pond feature off of the lounge. Everything was very clean and convenient, and typhoon proof, so 100% would recommend! ^_^

Nice Japanese style hostel, with a cozy hall, many activities for the free time inside including a nice bar and also very well located!

Great stay. Hostel was lovely, but not as lovely as the staff! Would highly recommend if you’re exploring the area.

Super friendly staff, cool interior and cheap! Highly recommend it!

The access from the station was good and it was a very meaningful time.

We got in pretty late, so didn’t really have a chance to enjoy the amenities. Slept ok, they let us keep the luggage there while we visited the monkey park.

The room was very nice, close to the center.

The location was very good and I stayed cheaply. It is recommended.

Good to stay here! Recommended! Very great place! I recommend it!

It is a repeater. The location is close to Yubatake, and there are plenty of restaurants. I like the hot springs where you can enter by time, and you can spend as much as you like at home. Comment response is very fast and safe ♪

Tomoyo-san is very hospitable. I enjoyed my stay tremendously. Drink sachets and a simple breakfast is provided. For me, the best feature is the private bath, if you do not wish to go to public onsen.

It is a very good place to relax and access the Kusatsu Onsen.

It is a house in a temple, about 5 minutes on foot from Yubatake. The host was quick and helpful, the amenities were fine, and the bread was served for breakfast. There are also kotatsu in the room, so it is recommended for those who like Japanese rooms with a focus on cospa!

Everything was fine,temple is beautiful and quiet, nice breakfast Very close to onsens.

Everything was perfect !

Very welcoming place and lots of good tips for stuff to do in the vicinity.

People are so kind, location is perfect, place was super clean and cozy. Would highly recommend this ryokan for snowboarding trip.

Loved staying here! We booked this stay in order to go skiing at Shiga Kogen (an hour by bus, and the staff can help you plan getting there) and were pleasantly surprised with the entire experience. The fact that the town has community onsens that we were able to access was enough of a surprise, but the free shuttle to the snow monkey park, the comfortable yukatas, the getas, and the great restaurant were cherries on top!

We absolutely LOVED our stay! The host was very helpful and understanding! They welcomed us in a very nice way and the place is charming! the restaurant is really good and serice is very good as well. We really loved it and would recommend it to everyone thinking of staying here.

Great experience with Daisuke. We had a big group (9, including 5 kids/teens), and they shuttles us around and accommodated us so well. Great local info, and gorgeous little town. Would recommend highly.

Great location and good food in their cute cafe. The place is in a great location and their staff is friendly and helpful. Will stay here again next visit.

Daisuke’s stay has the charm of a small traditional hotel. The dedication of their staff went above our expectations, they surprised us by sending their private shuttle and a taxi to pick us up at the train station at midnight. Location was great and a beautiful walk to the Snow Monkey Park - approximately 20 min walk. Thank you so much for our stay, Daisuke.

This place was honestly much better than I expected for the price. It's clean, stylish, and helpful in many ways. Something that surprised me is that the ceiling in the bunk is higher than the one in my loft back in Kawasaki! For a 183cm man, it is very comfortable. I have already recommended it to some friends for their stay in Nagano soon!

Great place to stay, clean and well placed

It was a nice stay. Other guests were loud at night, and you can hear everything, but that it was not really a deal breaker. Location is very very close to a major train station and cool shops, and the beds were comfy. You get free drinks too, which is awesome.

Very good location with a bus stop right in front of Nagano station. There is a light, a power outlet, and a usb outlet each in a bed space like a capsule hotel, so charging is not a problem. There is also a dial-type valuable locker. However, dormitory people may be worried about other people's snoring, but I was fine ... The shower room has a mirror, wash basin and dryer in the dressing room of the private room, and there is a separate large mirror and wash basin. The free drink coffee at the cafe on the first floor was organic and delicious. Wi-Fi was fast and comfortable.

Quiet and reliable place, easily accessible, all good

great place great people !

Great place! Has a nice bar and is walking distance from the train station

Clean, efficient place with good amenities.

Tomoyo-san was very friendly and accommodating. Her house is in a great location, and the futon were very comfortable and warm. We really enjoyed our short time in Kusatsu!

Good location, clean, and adequate heating facilities. I also experienced kotatsu.

Very beautiful and location is good. it's recommended. The bath is a small hot spring. It was a great trip. 真的 很 推 提 这里. Runway Jinji Old plate-like water fruit Tachibana. A small small hot spring with a shower.贼 stick. 也 Yubatake rejected. Recommendation

Tomo-san and her husband are gentle people. They prepared breakfast and sent me back to the station by car. The hot spring bath was comfortable.

Tomoyo's house is the best address you can find in Kusatsu Onsen! It is very well located, of course, but what makes the difference is Tomoyo and his family, kind and generous, who take great care of their guests! You can for example enjoy a breakfast each morning in your spacious and traditional room ... and you can count on your hosts to provide you with the best local addresses! Thanks again for everything Tomoyo!

The location was good and it was easy to go to the outside bath, but the private bath of the inn was also comfortable in the hot spring. The kotatsu in the room was also the best. Breakfast and coffee were prepared and it was very helpful. The feeling of distance that did not interfere so much was just right. I want to use it again when visiting Kusatsu.

Check in this listing for the second time, and I will probably go there again in the future. The location is very good, a five minute walk from Kusatsu Yuda, which is much cheaper than other hot spring hotels. Kusatsu Nikkei Onsen can be enjoyed, which is great. There is also Baigen Shrine next to it. The listing itself is the side building of Rikang Temple. The male lead is a mage and the house is legendary. The facilities are also good. Kusatsu's acid hot springs are directly entered into the home, but it is estimated that this resource will not be very useful if you go to Yutian. Remember to take a bottle before taking it. There is free parking, the breakfast is a little humble and there are some small breads. Kusatsu Japan's No.1 Hot Spring, Ri Akoji Temple is very cost-effective /

Great place to go ! simple and comfort !

It was a two night stay, good athmosphere in the hostel :)

Cute decor, artworks and notes around the place. It feels cosy and friendly, both the hostel itself and the staff. It's not large, but it doesn't need to be, it's enough as it is. Bigger might mean more people and then it might feel less like a home. I'd stay there again and recommend to friends.

Good hostel just close to the temple.

It is a small traditional house converted into a hostel, with its limitations. The spaces are small and there is only one bathroom and one shower for the entire hostel. Dream to hear the noises of the other rooms. We stayed in this room for two people and although we knew it was small, we managed and were comfortable in general. The staff was very friendly at all times and resolved all doubts in perfect English. In addition the location is unbeatable.

This place was really cozy and the architecture is beautiful, old, and very traditional. Because it’s a bit old, it’s easy to hear a group staying next to you so be sure to bring ear plugs :). The location is really great, the place is clean, and check in was fast and friendly with a little map that shows you some things you can do in the area. It’s nice to be able to leave your bags even after you have checked out.

I had a great stay there ... The place was clean and the location is great .

Very clean and quiet place. The host is very nice and very accommodating. I'd recommend this to anyone in the area.

The hostel is in a nice area of Nagano. The Zenkoji Temple is right next door and there is a train from the station, otherwise it is only a 20 minute walk. The house is traditional Japanese and we really liked it. The bathroom and kitchen were very clean despite some of them (the cleanest I've ever seen in the hostel). The old construction can make it louder, but that didn't bother us. The staff were friendly and helped well, so that we could store our luggage before we checked in. The room is more than adequate and the bed was comfortable. All in all we can recommend Nao's accommodation to everyone and would come back anytime.

It is right in the bustling city of Obuse. We used the second floor, but we were able to spend time relaxedly in a beautiful large room. A range, oven and refrigerator are available, and we enjoyed delicious local delicacies from Super Tsuruya! I want to go again in the warm season!

Akko is the perfect host who will help you with any problems you may encounter.

The room was warm, clean and comfortable. Obuse city also had sightseeing spots and was fun.

The location from the ski area was good, and the courteous response was very good. Room was clean and easy to spend.

The room was spacious and very relaxing, in inverse proportion to the price.

It was a spacious and relaxing room! There are sightseeing spots nearby and I wanted to use it again.

It was in a very quiet mountain and the snow scene from the window was awesome! The room was also clean, and the futon was very warm and happy, although it cooled down at night. I want to come to play again.

Although it was delayed from the check-in time that was initially reported due to traffic congestion, and other inconveniences, it was very kind. The place is a bit difficult to understand, but it was okay because it was not so far from the hot springs and it gave me directions carefully. Thank you for all the help you have given me.

The location was close to Kusatsu Onsen and the surroundings of the building were quiet and relaxing. It was a winter stay, but it was comfortable without any inconvenience due to the well-equipped facilities. The host was very kind and was very helpful to share detailed information about the surrounding facilities and area. It is a wonderful trip and I am very satisfied.

You can have a barbecue, a detailed explanation of the hot spring town, and a delicious rice shop. We responded politely and would like to use it if you have the opportunity.

love forever Grandfather, live long

It was a very nice room with careful guidance! thank you for helping me!

It was a very nice space. It was easy to stay and there was no particular problem. Kind support was very helpful. Thank you

A very good uncle! There is an electric futon and a kerosene stove so you can get warm in the room. It takes about 15 minutes by car from the center of Kusatsu Onsen. Since the inn is a villa area, there is nothing around it, but since I went by car, I do not feel inconvenience or much, I think that it is good overall.

The owner was friendly and welcomed us very warmly. The room was fashionable and comfortable.

In a wood-like room, you can taste extraordinary. The response was very quick and helpful. I would like to stay again.

It is perfect to relax ♡ Somehow nostalgic feeling calms down though it is stylish. I want to go again!

Like a regular inn, there were no other customers and I could grow and spend more time.

Tubasa’s place was a quaint and quiet retreat. We had a great stay and BBQ’d on the porch both nights we were there, which was very relaxing.

Beautiful, cosy place. Definitely recommend to others :)

We had a very nice day. Especially the host was very kind and took care of the details. This was the most memorable day of my trip. Thank you very much!

It was very good.

Absolutely amazing home and hosts, lovely to talk to and made our stay very homely.

This place is in a perfect location and the hosts are outstanding! They were so helpful and friendly, just the perfect hosts

Suzie and her friend are very friendly and helpful. They take us from bus stop and take us to super market.Give me more advice of snowboarding in Shigakogen. The room has a heater is very warm and clean If you wanna go to snow monkey park or hot spring you can walking to there Bus stop to Shigakogen is very close only 3 mins of walk

We stayed at Suzie and Toru’s place for two nights. Our main goal was to see the Snow Monkeys and this was the perfect place for that! We got up early and were one of the first people in because the walk was about 40 minutes from Suzie’s place. This would be an ideal place to check out Shiga-Kogen as well - I wish we’d had time to do that too!

The stay was wonderful. We got good recommendations around the area and enjoyed our time. Our room was spacious and the bed comfy. See you next time!

Really enjoyed staying in this cozy and pretty house. Loved the authentic experience of a Japanese home with nice bohemian touches that made the place felt very homely. The rooms and toilet are really clean and I enjoyed taking warm showers especially after a long day of touring. The convenience of the place is a plus too, with it stationed next to the bus station that has buses going to Nagano station and Shiga Kogen ski resorts. The home is also walkable from Shibu Onsen and the Snow Monkey park.

Had a fantastic stay at Suzie's place. They were both so kind and welcoming. Very close to the snow monkey park and some restaurants.

Perfect spot between mountains. Whether you love snowboarding or onsen or monkey that is a really good place to stay. Walking distance from snow monkey park, onsen, and Shibu onsen, the Place is sorrounded by nice places for food and beer. The room is clean and cozy and Suzie and Toru are kind and attendance hosts. Highly recommended.

Thanks to the kindness and courteous support of the host, I was able to have a good time. Thank you very much!

Sugita-san was an exceptional host who went above and beyond to make us feel welcome and comfortable. His Airbnb was absolutely stunning, and staying here made our trip to Japan truly memorable. Gorgeous traditional house and beautiful location. It was very difficult to check out and leave this truly remarkable Airbnb.

Correspondence, facility facilities were all perfect! Coffee roasting experience is also really recommended!

The renovated space of an old private house was a relaxing space that I could not imagine for the first time. Tableware and cooking utensils were prepared, so it was easy to cook and eat indoors, so I was saved. Anyway, it was nice to be able to refresh because I was able to spend relaxing time in a large, quiet and cozy space. In addition, we use when we come to Nagano.

I had a good time! The host was also very kind. I want to use it when I have a chance to go to Nagano. I would like roasted coffee to be delicious.

It was the best hotel! ! Hospitality, cleanliness, all perfect From the moment you enter, you like it and don't want to go home.

Great stay. This is a very stylish inn that has been renovated from an old private house. Everything was clean and all the utensils and dishes were on hand. The owner is roasting coffee beans in the building next door, and we were able to hear about beans and roasting. This is a place I would definitely want to visit again. Thank you very much.

We are staying in a pretty expensive ryokan right now and Sugita's place far exceeds it hands down. It's stylish and new, and everything is there for your stay, with a kotatsu and plenty of heating. The bar is exceptional, there's a coffee machine and Sugita's beans from his coffee shop next door are exceptional.

nice

Access is good. Close to the interchange. If you run a little, there are supermarkets, home improvement stores, family restaurants and convenience stores. The children were very happy. Since it was a season with little snow, I went to Nozawa Onsen. I will arrive in about 20 minutes. Ideal for winter sports.

Quite place in central location to several ski resorts. Host made us feel right at home -remember to take shoes off before you enter the house though

Great access from many nearby ski slopes. Cospa was good, too and was able to spend comfortably.

Iyama city. supermarket. Nozawa On Sense Kijang Accessibility was also good It was a beautiful and nice lodge. The next time you travel to this place, I will visit you unconditionally.

Hidetaka is an excellent host that makes sure the house is ready before you arrive. He will turn on the heater for you before you arrive and also shovel the snow off the doorstep. The place is as seen in the photos and is indeed magical when it snows.

I would suggest hiring a car as there is a bit of a hike to shops and laundro mat as there are no facilities close by. The scenery is amazing and the cabin is in a good location to visit other areas with ease if you wanted too

The buffet dinner and breakfast for six or more people accompanied by Japanese friends will be very good and you can feel the local atmosphere.

We were able to stay with peace of mind with friendly and helpful support. It's a recommended place to get to Nagano and major ski resorts in less than an hour! Thank you very much!

I used it for snowboarding trips with four men in their late 20s. Conclusion, everyone is very satisfied! A gentle couple in their 5s and 60s was running! Here are some good points because they are going to be long. ・ The contact before the reservation was quick, the response was polite and the reservation was smooth. ・ The check-in time could be changed on a case-by-case basis.・ Kitchen supplies are basically large pots, medium pots, frying pans, various dishes, chopsticks, cups etc. ・ If you have something else you want, you can lend it (if you live) ・ Seasoning was also available (check what you have before arrival) ・ The kitchen is relatively large (about 4 adults can taste and enjoy) ・ Is the table for four? There are two (large) types that can be used for various purposes.-The futon is soft and fluffy. It is very simple and gentle.-There is nothing around and it is okay to make sound at a reasonable volume? ・ The stars are beautiful (because there is no light around, you can see them very much) ・ Nagamine Onsen, which is about 10 minutes by car nearby, is old-fashioned and the best (but the shower hot water is almost water) ・ It's wide enough to run a shuttle if you don't have everything on it (I didn't do it) ・ Depends on the negotiations depending on how the sound is used. ・ It is spacious but warms up quickly if you use the stove. There is not much, but there are some troubles! ・ Is the cutting board a little small? ・ One kitchen knife ・ Isn't there a speaker that can be heard with Bluetooth etc.? I'm really thankful to you!

It is a wonderful hotel with rooms, accommodations and prices. It was run by a couple, and was able to respond to messages before check-in and hospitality during their stay. I would also like to stay when I come to this place. Great room! Having great hospitality, clean facility, traditional room.

Even though we ended up having to cancel our stay, Yukihito and Junko were great with communication and making sure we were all set for our trip! Very easy to work with, would recommend :)

We stayed for 3 people, We had a flexible stay with smooth communication such as changing the number of people and check-in time. I would also like to use it if I have the opportunity.

The best hospitality. Kindness. Very crean. You can feel Japanese culture. Awsome people. Good location.

Wonderful stay. Highly recommended. The hospitality was great with the smoked cheese and piano entertainment.

Very special house, in the middle of a mountain. In the back of the house is the highway and entrance of a mountain. Very natural scence and environment. The host and hostess are so nice that offered us very nice and warm support. There is also a very kawaii grandpa who enjoy bowsing Instagram. During the stay, we are also offered delicious local food, homemade cheese and hostess’s original classical music CD! Generally, a very nice stay here, and will definitely come back if I come to Nagano again.

A perfect couple, full of good intentions, a great cook. One of the best receptions for 7 years A perfect couple, full of good intentions, a great cook. one of the best airbnb for 7 years

My family really enjoyed our stay here. We live in Japan and so didn't expect to be wowed by the food, but the food truly is exceptional. We have dietary restrictions and are very grateful that the hosts accommodated us. Having meals prepared for us made for a really relaxing trip. We usually go to Nagano by car. Because the hosts pick us up and drop us off we were grateful to be able to visit this area without having to drive. We also enjoyed meeting other guests in the dining area. The area is great for visiting Nozawa Onsen, skiing and the snow monkeys. My kids are already asking to go back. We hope to visit again for beetle hunting in the summer.

My stay and trip with Yoshi-San was exceptionally better than I would have ever imagined. He is not your typical Air b&b host where you rarely see your host. Yoshi-San will pick you up, make you breakfast and dinner, and double checks your schedule for the rest of your stay— that way he can schedule out a timeline of when to take you to the station and when/where to pick you up. You can tell that Yoshi-San has done this professionally for quite some time. It’s not only him of course, his wife will pop up here and there and help make the breakfast and dinner for us. Their food is definitely 5 star restaurant quality. Yoshi-san is very humble and I thought his English was good enough for me to have a fun conversation with him. I had no problem communicating with him and we understood each other quite well. As for lodging, I couldn’t complain at all. We had a beautiful, snow filled view of the mountains and trees. We had 2 beds for 2 people. A private toilet and electric heater for the room. We are from Okinawa and it wasn’t as cold as I thought it would be in the rooms/house. You will not regret booking a stay at Yoshi-Sans home. I highly recommend his place!

Mr Yoshihiro and his family are kind and helpful. He is one of the best host in airbnb. We enjoy our time in his house. Mr Yoshihiro picked up us in JR station and take us to go Ski center and Onsen. It’s wonderful time to live in. Mr Yoshihiro is a great chef and prepare breakfast and dinner are amazing and full of memories. Sean Chan Hong Kong

Look no further and book now!!! Yoshihiro's place exceeded all of my expectations and staying with him and his family was one of the highlights of my trip! I was visiting to snowboard at Nozawaonsen and Yoshihiro helped me to get on the shuttle daily and gave me a ride to a local onsen at night. His recommendations were spot on and provided me with a unique experience. Also, his cooking was exceptional!!! A restaurant quality experience at home! His communication, service, cooking and knowledge of the local area were top notch. I would absolutely stay with his family again and give him my highest recommendation!

Amazing value for money, Yoshihiro and his wife made our stay in Iiyama seamless and unforgetable. Both the breakfast and dinner services were spectacular, every meal was made up of a minimum of 4 delicious hand made dishes prepared with care and experience . His house was cosy and warm, beds were comfotable and the local knowledge he shared was vital for getting the most out of Iiyama. Even if you aren't in the area, I highly recommend going out of your way to stay a few nights with Yoshihiro, it will be worth it.

Yoshihiro san and Rieko san went above and beyond for us. We were welcomed so warmly into their lovely home and served dinner on entry after a long train ride which was just what we felt like! Yoshihiro san helped us organise how to get to Nozawa Onsen for snowboarding and gave us rides to and from the bus stop and the local outdoor onsen. We feel very fortunate to have met Yoshihiro san and Rieko san and we will definitely be back for a longer stay! This bnb was the highlight of Japan - book your stay here and enjoy the quieter side of Japan. Thank you Yoshihiro san and Rieko san, if you visit New Zealand you have a home here!

Chicca’s place is an awesome spot to stay in especially if you’re looking to ski in the Nagano area. The house is cozy and the meals provided by Chicca are great! Definitely recommend checking out the nearby outdoor onsen too. Thank you for your hospitality and sharing you home with us!

A total of seven friends and family members used the ski trip. The location and facilities of the cottage are almost as described in the listing. Almost everything we needed was clean and the heating was warm without any problems (we bring bath towels, paper towels and tissue). The fact that the entrance and clog box space is large, and that we could store the skis and snow boots for the number of people with plenty of space was saved. We had you explain very carefully at the time of check-in and were saved. It looks good in summer, so I would like to use it again with my family.

Host waited for us to arrive at around 9pm to help out with the check in. Very patient with helping out on queries. Very friendly too. Huge place.

Lovely cosy cabin.. big enough for a family. You need a car to get about. Perfect base for ski or hiking trips

If you want to get away from the tourists (which we did), this is the perfect place. Host was very friendly and helpful with everything. Would recommend a car if you want to explore. Thanks very much for our first airbnb experience ! We loved it

Great 20min drive to Nozawa Onsen and can do late check in until 11PM

We arrived hungry assuming there was a store within walking distance and when we found out it was much farther than expected, Hidetaka was so kind to offer my friends and I a ride to the store. Great place with a beautiful view of the mountains. Overall 10 stars.

The host is really friendly and speak English well. He provides useful information. The entire house is private. The place is quite spacious for 5 big luggages. The bedrooms are spacious and providing a lot of bedding equipments, so we feel very comfy to sleep. Need a car to get around

There is no washing machine, but it is a beautiful small log house. I used it to escape from the hustle and bustle of the city and enjoy snowboarding. If you ask for local information, you can tell me anything.

A clean, well managed hostel that has a lovely Japanese charm

Clean rooms and very friendly staff. The hostel is also very close to the train/bus and the Yudanaka Onsen.

Truly beautiful rooms in a 200 year old building (that means it was built when there was still a Shogun!!). The breakfast is delicious and the location is near-unbeatable

Peace be upon you my brothers My name is Mahmoud from Cairo Egypt We booked this guesthouse and I and my children made a good easy access machine

Nice hostel with modem and traditional interior. Good location with only 5 mins walk from station. Nice host and with thoughtful tips The only thing need to fix is the heating in the room is not working properly, it was very cold at night. Otherwise everything else was perfect.

My brother and I were on a motorcycle tour and just need a space to crash for the night. This fit the bill perfectly. The rooms are basic ryokan style with tatami and futons. The highlight was the lounge overlooking the pond in the courtyard. We ordered dinner from the cafe and ate in the lounge while watching Fast & Furious: Tokyo Drift on Netflix. Midway through the movie monkeys came in to the courtyard and were swinging through the tree, climbing the statue and diving and swimming in the pond. Very entertaining. We woke early in the morning, hopped on the bikes, and had a great ride on the 292 through Shirunekogen and down the Manza Tollway. The hotel is just at the end of the 292 so we didn't have to ride the motorcycles through the city, and there are two large gas stations on the highway coming in to town. This was a great rest stop for our trip.

Was everything needed for our trip

It’s perfect place and price. There are such a nice service so I’m sure u could be relax. Honestly I bothered them a lot but they r so kind and flexible. Totally it was nice to stay in there.

Thank you very much for making me and my friend feel like home even we only stay here for one night ! They are a very caring and friendly couple. Outstanding amenity and chilling hot bath with a view. Nice to have a morning bath with a sunrise before heading to the ski resorts ! Also, it’s just walking distance from the hostel to Akakura Kanko Ski resort and the host are willing to drive you there. Please inform them first.

Located in the corner of the pension village, it was a very cool place near the ski resort and Akakura Onsen. They were run by a couple and they were both friendly. I was happy that the breakfast was handmade. I stayed in a twin room and there were other rooms with bunk beds, so it seems to be good for families. It was a wonderful summer vacation trip!

Thank you Yu-san and shine-san for their amazing hospitality! Both are really warm and welcoming. Loved the breakfast every morning. And both are very accommodating to send us to the ski resort and pick up from the restaurant. 10/10 would return and stay with them.

Perfect stay close to many ski resorts with hosts willing to drive to and from resorts everyday

Amazing place! Hosts are incredible. Food is delicious both breakfast and dinner. They have all kids of good information to share. Place is super clean but also very comfortable and home like. Bathroom tub is a bonus. We will definitely be back!

with quick responses my guests picked me up to and from Station and to and from mountain. the snow cabin dreams I've been waiting for my whole life included with a drying room, bath and meals. highly recommend if looking for mountain experience!!

Have been coming to Japan for the snow almost every year and Yu-San and Shige-San's hospitality is amazing even for the already high Japanese standards. Have stayed at 10+ ski lodge pension type accommodation in Japan, and this is heads above them all. You won't be disappointed.

This place is amazing! We stayed 2 nights and it felt like home away from home :) Yu-San & Shige-San are lovely people, they were so welcoming and always had a smile. They helped us a lot, Yu-San picked us up from the train station and brought us to the ski ground, he even helped us with the rentals of snowboard & wear. We were also given discount lift passes. Shige-San's cooking is delicious, the breakfast was great and we enjoyed sukiyaki a lot. We will definitely stay with them again, if we ever get the chance to visit myoko-kogen again. Stay at their home, you'll love them!

Our experience at Ryokan Hakura was absolutely fantastic. We had a wonderful, restful stay and enjoyed the onsen immensely. Shino as a host and everyone we met in the town were a joy. Can not wait to return!

We had a wonderful stay. The accommodation is a stylish ryokan, although the room we booked is in a building opposite. It has an internal onsen that can be booked privately for free and they also take you to the entrance of the Snow Monkey Park (from there they are 1.8km walking). The attention was unbeatable!

Very convinient place

Shino san such a wonderful host. The room is clean most important to us. Expectation of the room depends on one’s own experience in travelling. Being accomodating and helpful is most important. Tqvm for being such a wonderful host. Regret unable to experience the onsen which is so accessible but time did not permit us. Again Tqvm Shino san.

Room so big than other Japanese room. With kettle and tea for taking photos will be nice. Outstanding onsen for relaxing and warmth in the middle of the snowy. Can't wait to come back again!

Shino and Daisuke provided a lovely little ryokan stay in Yamanouche. It was easy to locate the space (heads up the walk has a reasonably significant hill on it for those who have trouble walking hills). My stay was quiet and easy. The hosts were warm, welcoming, and provided tips for things to do. The private onsen was also a plus! Thanks!

Ryokan Hakura is a cute little spot that is conveniently located close to the Yudanaka station. Onsen is awesome and you can book a private session until 7! Hosts are English-friendly and very helpful.

I believe we met with Shinzo upon arrival and she was greeted us with a warm welcome! It appears that they may run both buildings as we were upgraded to the place that had the onsen due to the snow. We were very thankful that we didn’t have to walk across the snowy/icy road to use the amenities. We wanted to relax and we did just that! Shinzo explained the entire process and spoke in English which was very helpful. Our room was spacious and very clean. It’s about a 10 minute walk from the Yudanaka station. We loved Nagano and would come back again!

Visited around the end of February this cozy place. Great atmosphere, nice private space for sleeping and a fantastic communal space where you can meet fellow travelers, drink tea and coffee for free. Taka, Yuji and Yuna were super kind hosts, Yuji especially helped me with solving some cumbersome issues and even got to ride together during some super pow days! You're right by the bus stop and only a short walking distance from one of Nozawa's chairlifts, which makes it a good location. A public onzen is also very close, open 5am to midnight, must try it as an early morning starter or definitely after a day's riding for muscle relaxation. Will definitely come back and stay at Taka's.

Although it is a dormitory, it is covered with walls so it is not visible from the surroundings, and the warmth of the staff and the interaction with other guests became memorable memories ^ ^ Highly recommended!

Great space to meet fellow travellers. The host is very thoughtful/attentive and can wax a snowboard the best! Great lift passes at reduced rates than on the slopes. It's out of the main Street by a 15-20 minute walk which I liked. Bus is available from end of street.

Never written a review on here but thought I had to for Taka. Even though the snow was pretty average this season, staying here definitely made up for it. Taka and Yuji were absolutely amazing hosts - super kind and generous. The place is 5min walk out from town. 5 min from the lifts. Right outside the bus stop. The food here was amazing and really reasonably priced. Discounted lift passes were provided too! Definitely will stay here again if I am back in Nozawa! (I will :D)

Both Takka and Yugi were awesome, such high spirited people who made me feel very welcome. Takka even had gentemsticks for me to try out which was an added bonus! Plus, Takka was an amazing cook which I took full advantage of. Can’t wait to come back

5/5

This is a greatlocation with plenty of parking, just a few minutes walk from the nearest ski lift, and in good conditions you can ski back to the lodge, or at least very close. The staff are very friendly and knowledgeable about the local area. You can buy you lift tickets here for a small discount which is great. The food offered is wonderfully prepared and delicious, please communicate in advance for large groups. Highly recomended.

I had an amazing time staying at this Airbnb. The hospitality was incredible, above and beyond what other places I have stayed at.

The place is very clean and neat! Yoshirou san is also a very kind host We had a great time there

The host is very kind and offers to drive you/pick you up up to three different times a day. Breakfast was not available to us (unfortunately) but I think that was because the markets were closed for New Years. The place is very cozy and the rooms are large. Just be prepared to sleep on the floor! The mat was surprisingly comfortable and he provides many blankets. It was a great experience and we recommend it to everyone!

Excellent location and quiet! This was a great space to base out of for the Snow Monkeys and the mountains! Wish we could've stayed longer!

Yoshirou-san is the embodiment of true Japanese hospitality! He loves to make sure you're taken care of and will treat you like family. I slept on a Japanese futon on tatami flooring in a traditional Japanese-style room. And I've got to say it felt like I was sleeping on a cloud. A very effective space heater is provided to quickly heat up the room when in use. The toilet room is located out in the lobby area and is clean and has bidet functions as well. He has a shower room somewhere else on-site (which I never personally asked to use since you absolutely must take advantage of the hot spring baths in town!) The lobby is spacious and comfortable and a great place to hang out. One thing to take advantage of is Yoshirou-san's gourmet breakfasts which are totally worth the completely reasonable extra cost. His meals are nutritionally balanced, large in portion size, and mouthwateringly delicious. You will not (and I mean this) find a better breakfast anywhere in Japan! You must taste his cooking! Because the guesthouse is located a bit of a walk from the town center, Yoshirou-san offers pick-up and drop-off service for a limited number of times per day which will give you more time to explore. Also note that there is a notable language barrier since English isn't Yoshirou-san's forte, but bring along Google Translate and you'll make it just fine. All in all, I definitely will be back to live with Yoshirou-san in the future if I'm ever in the area. Cheers! (Pro tip: If you are going to be in Yudanaka for a couple of days, consider asking the information center at the train center about an onsen deal that allows you three baths at any of the three Yukadana onsens.)

Yoshirou is a great host with lot of experience and great hospitality. He will give you local tips to make the most of your time in Yudanaka. The house is located around 4 minutes by car away from the station and he offers to take you there or pick you up, though I recommend walking since the town is beautiful. The room is really cozy, and even though it can get pretty cold in winter, there's a heather in the room that will warm it up in just a few minutes, in the meantime, you can wait at the extremely comfortable common place. The bathrooms are squeaky clean and there is also a shower you can ask Yoshirou to use if you don't feel like relaxing at the local public bath. I highly recommend this place if you are traveling solo.

This place was absolutely stunning, the rooms and common area were beautiful and the place is perfectly located close to the local town, train station and monkey park. Yoshirou was the perfect host, nothing was too much trouble he picked us up from the train station, drove us to the local onsen and monkey park. The breakfast he made us in the morning was incredible and this place made our stay in Yamanochi really special! even the little touch of warming hot water bottles to keep our beds warm, Yoshirou thought of everything!

This is a very good house, the best house I have ever stayed in. Mr. Fang Lang is also very good, and the reception is very warm! The house is very nice and tidy, and the view from the window is very beautiful! really thankful! If I can, I will definitely go again!

After spending 5 busy days in Tokyo this was a perfect get away from the city. Yoshirou’s guest house was excellent and so was he! The nicest guy you will ever meet! He picked us up from the station and drove us to his house. He drove us up to the snow monkeys (which were incredible) and picked us up again. Back at his place we chilled out in front of the fire playing cards looking out at the snowy mountains. You absolutely have to have the breakfast yoshirou offers, he is an amazing chef and the breakfast feast he cooks you is some of the best food we have had in Japan! A perfect trio and would recommend 100%.

very enjoyable stay. local town is also great for onsen and ski, and sight seeing. host offers to pick up to and from station, which is helpful.

Yoshirou is a great host! We arrived during a typhoon so we couldn't do much but he was very welcoming and helpful. The space was really nice to relax in so we didn't feel disappointed despite the bad weather!

Despite a delayed flight Yoshirou still came very late to pick us up, he also drove us to town and picked us up again, he was very generous with transportation. The house was real tidy and there were hot water bottles in the beds, he likes to chat and is ready when you are.

It is a very characteristic house that was renovated at home. He seemed to have been operating a cafe before, was able to provide the space, was able to relax very much, such as meals and conversation.

Our stay at Yoshirou's place was perfect. He responded quickly to the reservation and picked us from the train station. He offered us a welcome tea and also the lift to/from nearby onsen later on. The Japanese style room and bathroom were very clean, the common area was nicely decorated and very cosy. It was so far my best AirBnb experience.

perfect location 5mn away (walk) from the station in the center of Yamanoushi. Seongmi and Yoshi were adorable, we 100% recommand !

On top of being great all around, they really saved our butts by giving us tips on the best times to do things to avoid crowds, and reminded us of train schedules as well. Highly recommended.

I highly recommend staying at Aibiya! It was a wonderful place to stay in Yamanouchi and the hosts Seongmi and Yoshi are wonderful hosts who really care about their customers. I thoroughly enjoyed my stay and certainly hope to return one day!

Everything about our stay was great. The hosts are so welcoming and helpful- and speak perfect English which is great when you don’t speak any Japanese! The house is only 5 minutes walk from the station. It is a traditional Japanese style inside with super-clean and comfortable bedrooms and great washing facilities. There is a huge fully fitted kitchen for preparing your own meals but there are so many good restaurants around that we didn’t bother but followed some of our hosts’ recommendations - which were excellent. The hosts provide a lovely continental breakfast ( included in the cost) which was a nice surprise. I would heartily recommend Aibiya to anyone coming to this part of Japan to ski or to see the snow monkeys.

Aibiya is a wonderful place to stay if you are looking to spend time in one of Japan’s beautiful onsen towns. Yudanaka Onsen has good food, nice baths, and easy access (by bus) to hiking trails, and Seongmi and Yoshiki are extremely welcoming and cordial hosts who serve a delicious breakfast.

When we arrived in Aibiyia, the same idea clicked in our head with my friend : we have to stay one day more. This guest house is ideal, you’ll never want to leave. It’s peaceful and cozy, well located in the beautiful mountains of Yundanaka, surrounded by good restaurants, relaxing onzens, harmonious forrest without forgetting the cute monkeys ! The two host are so very attentive and helpful, they will do anything to make you stay the best. Don’t be a fool and don’t hesitate a second to stay in Aibiyia ! You’re trip will just take another dimension...

Clean rooms and nice hosts welcomed us. I bought a voucher for a nearby hot spring and enjoyed it at night and morning. In addition to bread and cereal, you can also enjoy local vegetables and fruits. A slightly unusual peach? It was delicious with a unique texture. It became one of the wonderful memories of Yudanaka Onsen.

Had a really great experience staying at Abiya. Yoshi was very accommodating - from giving us directions to suggesting local restaurants, ryokans, & businesses in the area to go to. The entire space was clean, well organized, and a very comfortable environment. I will definitely be staying here if I decide to go see snow monkeys again :)

Room is clean, onsen is great, very good information from owner.

This is a truly beautiful and unique experience. I would recommend it to anyone and everyone single coupled or family. it's breathtaking comfortable and the service and kindness of the hosts goes far above and beyond. I stayed with my son for his 13th birthday celebration and he will have it in his memory for the rest of his life as a special and momentous journey. Thank you so much for having us we hope to make it back one day! we are truly grateful for your hospitality and kindness and for dropping us off and picking us up from the station and taking us to the monkey park <3 we felt so special ad bless to have had that experience. thank you all the best

The hosts are incredible. They were very accommodating and very quick to respond with any questions. They were also extremely helpful and attended to my needs. The place was very clean and had all of the necessities for a few night stay.

Great host and a cozy place. The host are kind enough to pick you up from the train station and also take you to Jigokudani monkey park

Lovely traditional Japanese ryokan, I totally recommend this place to stay. Is very clean, comfortable, quiet and the location is very close to everything. The hospitality was amazing and they really care about everything.

Comfortable place to stay in a great location.

The hospitality cannot be beaten and the venue is gorgeous and very comfortable. It was clean and a memorable experience. Thank you for everything
