Yamanouchi Villas

On such a hot day, there is no air-conditioning on the 4th floor. I vaguely feel that there is discrimination in the room booked through Ctrip. The next day we negotiated to change to the 6th floor.

This is a very small town and although we’ve seen many foreigners visiting this town and this hotel on Youtube (one of the reasons we decided to stay here), it is very foreigner ‘unfriendly’ to say the least. It seemed hotel staff only spoke Japanese, so if you don’t speak it, it will be very difficult to enjoy the amenities. Staff were nice, but not very flexible (strictly by the rules, we supposed) thus not as accommodating as other ryokans we’ve stayed in. Dinner was very nicely presented and tasty…so many dishes that we couldn’t finish all (& we are big eaters) …felt bad leaving food untouched :(. The 9 Onsen tour was on my Bucket List and we got that done in less than an hour not by choice but because the water was soooooooo hot that we couldn’t even stick our feet in…almost scorched the bottom of my feet from. Very disappointing :(.

A really unique and affordable place, with a genuinely wonderful host. I found this by chance and we were all so amazed by our stay. The place is older and homely, but the rooms and facilities are all fine. We started our stay by taking up the owner, Miyasaka San, offer of dinner, and it was a very generous and wide ranging meal (sashimi, tempura etc), of around 9 dishes set out for each of us. Then Miyasaka San gave us a history lesson on Kyudo (Japanese archery). A few days later we were lucky enough to have a lesson with him, and he also performed the Kyudo ceremony which was an amazing experience. He also kindly drove us up to the entrance of the monkey park walk. We were here in May, late spring and still saw some blossoms of the vast apple tree farms around. The area is a quiet charming chain of smaller ‘towns’ and the real treat here are the 9 public onsens you can visit. Read up on them. This would be a great place to visit in winter for skiing, to get away from the real overrun popular places. You get to Yamanochi-Machi by taking a train to Nagano, and then switch to a local train to Yudanaka which is at the end of the line. This is genuinely a rural place, and staying at this ryokan will only add to the experience. We hope to return one day, with our archery homework done :)

This small family owned onsen was a total jewel. Snuggled in a quiet small town. The scenery was amazing and local enough to walk to beautiful shrines and delicious local restaurants. I recommend booking breakfast, as it is a very private experience with an exquisite spread of traditional Japanese plates. The owners are sweet and super accommodating, with proper communication as we arrived super late (2:00am) and were still just as friendly and helpful.

Yasuragi is conveniently located in the popular Shiga-kogen / Yudanaka area. The hotel has everything you need for a comfortable stay. Take advantage of the hotel's luggage storage, family room, safety deposit boxes, shuttle service, smoking area. Some of the well-appointed guestrooms feature air conditioning, heating, wake-up service, telephone, fan. To enhance guests' stay, the hotel offers recreational facilities such as hot spring bath. Yasuragi combines warm hospitality with a lovely ambiance to make your stay in Nagano unforgettable.

I cannot say enough good things about Shibu Hotel! First and foremost, we forgot an important item at the hotel and they had it messengered to our next hotel in Tokyo, arriving the following morning (which also happened to be the day we leaving Japan). The front desk / hotel staff was incredible as well as the restaurant staff. The traditional Japanese meals were fantastic (and very filling!). The onsens are great (and nicer than the public onsens, but they're also worth going to). If you're going to Yaganouchi, you need to stay here!

The room was extremely spacious and kept us warm even at -10° outside thanks to extra heaters and cozy futons provided. Our private outdoor onsen was very warm and could be used even during coldest times (you can easily add cooler water if you feel like it is too hot). Lunch and dinner consisted of many many small plates continuously served and prepared with great care, which we enjoyed a lot (even if you don't enjoy every single dish served, you will have enough food). The couple running the ryokan helped us with small requests and was very attentive. Location in the middle of Shibu Onsen is perfect for visiting the Onsens, and it's easy to find transportation to the Snow Monkey Park and Ski resorts. Overall, we've had a great experience, and we were very positively surprised, especially given that our stay was booked last-minute and not very expensive.

If there is no discount, the price is 55000 yen for two people. I used it because it was GoTo. I expected that word of mouth was good, but it is very disappointing as a conclusion. GoTo thinks it's a good chance for the inn to win repeaters after this, but repeats are never possible. First of all, there is no inn. I think that there is a pick-up at the entrance if it is an inn of this price (there is a large number of corona) The front desk also corresponds to a considerable salt and stayed in Metropolitan Nagano at the previous night. It is more polite. The corridor is quite old and there is no impression in the room. Bath Bath Only the pottery bath is the source, and the other is the circulation + hanging flow. I want you to write it on the guide paper about the explanation. By the way, I couldn't touch any rental bath at the front desk. I thought it would be good to say a word even if another fee occurred. Dinner The taste is not bad, but it doesn't seem to be a dish that is in hand. It's safe. It's a dish like a tavern. Why is there a barnacada at the end? It's a mysterious order. Sukiyaki was delicious, but I want a little more style such as appetizers. There are many great inn at the same price. I am really disappointed. And the woman who serves, the smell of fluffy perfume... I'm surprised that I can't believe it. I went because I wrote that the morning city was doing it on the elevator (this is also a word). I want you to speak about a word if you meet at the morning entrance. (it's small) Breakfast was quite a pity. Where did the safe seasoning yesterday go? Forgot salt? Where is sweet? And the roll is not delicious at all. Is it not a corona and tasted? I think so. The cancer that seems to be a ready-made product was delicious. The customer service is also very good, and I don't feel hospitality at all. If you are a guest who has paid this price and spent time from afar, would you like to stay at this inn? I want to answer my own questions. It was a disappointing inn overall. I was surprised because Nagano Prefecture had delicious rice, good spring quality, and I was never disappointed at this price inn. I don't think about taking money because it is GOTO, and if you take such a fee, you should respond to it or if you can't, you should lower the price.
