Cozy hotel, right by the Ichinose Family ski area. The staff is absolutely amazing, 100% focus on making your stay pleasant. We went there for a ski trip and it was really convenient. The public bath is great for after skiing, and both dinner and breakfast buffets were excellent, with many good quality choices.

We stayed in the caravan, which was a trailer home on the slope. We could almost ski directly from it. The place was well set up for people who want to make their own food, of which we brought a lot. It had a big refrigerator, microwave and electric kettle. We ate on the floor from the coffee table, but there was a sofa that you could also eat on. The trailer had its own internet router which worked very well for streaming Netflix; something not typical for Japanese ski resorts. The hot water heater worked very well as well, meaning nice hot showers. The room had a small bath but there was a small but clean indoor hot tub at the hotel that is free to use. The place is very close to the Ichinose bus stop. You can take the bus for free to any Shiga Kogen area slope. But frankly it was not necessary as we were already right on the slope.

Vegan meals were amazing!

Real guesthouse feel - the host was super nice, very chatty and friendly. He drove me to and later picked me up from the Snow Monkey Park, and also dropped me off at the bus station after I checked out.
Breakfast was quite lovely and worth the price. It even accommodated for my allergies.
The whole place was immaculately clean and well-maintained.
I was recuperating from snowboarding injuries and and my warm, comfortable bed really hit the spot.

Room was comfortable and clean. View was nonexistent as we were on the front side of the building. The shuttles from the train station and the hotel were on time and very nice to have. Same for the monkey park. That made staying at the hotel accessible.

Might be better in winter, but in spring only thing to see was monkey park, and that only takes a few hours ( mostly travel time) as it isn’t very big. I was of impression it was a whole mountain, but it is just one small area you see the monkeys from.
I’d suggest staying in nagano which was nice, and coming to Yamanouchi for a morning.

While Yamanouchi is known for its proximity to snow monkeys, it wasn't what stood out to me about the area. The snow monkeys just have too many tourists to be truly enjoyable. Yamanouchi has beautiful mountain views, charming winding streets with quirky decorations, and onsen hopping among different ryokans is something to look forward to. If you look behind the main street, you'll see many stairways leading to many shrines. We had dinner at a sushi restaurant ran by an elderly couple, on traditional tatami floors. It felt like eating at someone's house, and they absolutely stuffed us with delicious sushi. Two nights would probably be the best to fully wind down.

Amazing amount of terrain in the ski fields.
Amazing amount of terrain in the ski fields. Need to have better maps (in English) available for the runs. A (live) board showing which lifts and runs are open would be great, prior to entering the areas.
The snow was amazing!!!!
Restaurants were good however the area appeared to be directed at locals (Japanese) rather than tourists. We had to do a lot of work to find somewhere to eat.
It would be great to have some public onsens available in the area.

Our stay at a ryokan just couple miles from Snow Monkey Park...
Our stay at a ryokan just couple miles from Snow Monkey Park was the absolute highlight of a trip filled with highlights. Specifically we stayed at Onyado Hishiya Torazo, and loved everything about it - the room, the food, the staff, and the oh so relaxing onsen! We made the mistake of only booking one night and the short turn around combined with outside temps down in the low 20’s (F) meant we never did try any of the public onsen. Trust me - two days here is the minimum!
Snow Monkey Park ended up being another highlight (and between my wife and I, we have about 1,000 pictures to prove it!). Before going we were concerned that it might seem contrived at best and a bad situation for the monkeys at worst. But they were absolutely there of their own free will and happily making use of the large onsen on a cold winter’s day. Get there early - we got there about an hour after opening and wished we’d been an hour earlier. It started to fill up about 20 minutes after we got there.
Here’s the weird thing, and the only downside - and I don’t quite know how to explain it. The town was basically closed! And we were there Jan 26-27, a decent snow had fallen a couple days earlier and a light snow fell the morning of the 27th. I thought this would be big tourist season, but we barely saw another sole in town. And those few we did see were almost all tourists out taking pictures in their yukata. This made for a very quiet morning, which was great. But we had planned to pick up our luggage at the ryokan after visiting the monkey park and meander through town stopping to eat, drink, or shop as we made our way to the train station. But nothing was open so we caught an earlier train and ate in Nagano while waiting for our Shinkansen.

The Ryokan Biyunoyado was just fabulous.
The Ryokan Biyunoyado was just fabulous. They have shuttle bus to and from station. also to the snow monkeys.We were late and they returned to station to collect us. Onsens were great. The food was amazing and plenty of it. Japanese style room was very comfortable and beds made up when we were at dinner. Definitely stay here when you come to see the snow monkeys. it’s the best.

Its a great spot for visiting the snow monkeys and a quick snow board at Ryuoo Ski Resort. A walk through the older Shibu Onsen town is also fun for people who like that. We went to three different restaurants in the town and they were all good.
The negatives were that the roads and paths were slippery with ice, so bring appropriate footware if visiting in winter (although your hotel might have some).
Almost all places were cash only.
The onsens on site are phenomenal. While I did the 9 public onsens around town, I looked forward to coming back to the ryokan. The accommodations were comfortable and perfect for our needs. It was spacious and we slept very well with the weighted blankets. The hosts were very attentive, the food was excellent, and the personal touches were very much appreciated. Loved the origami that is gifted to customers. The detail and attention required for the origami also felt emblematic of the overall vibe of the ryokan.
Nestled in the heart of the town, Hotel Hosei offers a delightful blend of elegance and comfort. From the moment I stepped off the train, I was greeted with a warm welcome and impeccable service from the staff. The stylishly appointed traditional Japanese rooms coupled with the rooms' personal onsen, attentive staff and convenient location, made for an unforgettable stay. Whether you're visiting for business or pleasure, Henn na is sure to exceed your expectations and leave you longing for a return visit.
The location of the accomodation in the small and quiet town of Yamanouchi was so enjoyable. I also LOVED my room. Everything needed was provided and well decorated. You even have a space with table and chairs in addition to low typical japanese style table and cushions, and a sink and fridge. There are two onsens in the basement and you get a kimono to spend your time. Staff is super friendly ! Don't be surprised to get to shower next to the onsen since there are no showers in the rooms! ;)
Great location very close to ichinose ski resorts (it’s practically ski-in ski-out). The room was clean and nicely appointed, with a view of ichinose diamond. There is a good ski rental place on the 1st floor as well as a fun bar that does food and great beers. The common areas have been renovated and are quite nice. There is a restaurant in the hotel but we went to places nearby (good idea to book). Staff were helpful and courteous.
Friendly couple who operated the stay is very welcoming, they pick us up at station and send us to monkey park and back, they speak better English than some other hotel reception I stayed in, really admire their hardwork of managing the stay. We also given the key to public bath house shibu onsen, so you can try all 9 bath hse for free.. they also have their own private onsen. it’s really an amazing experience and glad we stayed here
Location is superb being in the heart of Shibu onsen at Yudanaka. Also free pick up and delivery to the station and the Monkey Park. Some good restaurants within walking distance. Being a local Ryokan, has key access to all of the 7 public onsens which I used. What a treat. Just strolling around town in Yuakata provided is fun. Owners were very hospitable and there was also an onsen in the Ryokan.
Easy to get in with the local bus. Hotel is situated very close to ski pists and lifts - this is a real ski-in ski-out case. Diners are tasty and diversified. Staff is friendly and efficient though nobody speaks any foreign language. Onsen is nice after the day of good skiing. Famous monkeys in hot springs may be visited just after a half day of skiing.
This is not an inexpensive stay...but the room was beautiful, tranquil and our private onsen (hot tub) was exquisite., fed by an endless stream of naturally flowing water from two of the towns nine hot springs. The food was delicious and beautifully presented and the hotel is situated in a charming village.
The hotel entrance, common area, room, onsen, and kitchen all are exceptionally very nice. The public onsen water was very hot and had all the things. I could enjoy it. If you go late in the night or the morning not many people will be there and you can get the feeling of a private bath.
Food and hotel staff service are awesome. Shuttle available to/from train station and to/from Snow Monkey Park. Bathroom in room might need some update. But overall very nice stay! Both private and public onsen are nice and clean. Public one is not crowded at all.
Location is amazing, a few steps from 2 main ski slopes in the area. Nighter available at both. Bus stop almost at the entrance of the hotel. The dinner was superb.
The staff (both Japanese and foreign) did their absolute best to make our stay as good as possible.
Attentiveness of staff , everyone spoke and understood English and the hotel was beautiful. The rooms were gorgeous and the onsen is comfortable: if anyone worries about the yukata not fitting them don’t. We are American XL and they fit us fine
so friendly. delicious meals. Small family run ryokan it is located on the quiet small road in the middle of the 9 Onsens popular to visit and do a stamp rally. it is opposite a hotel that looks like it is from Ghibli’s Spirited Away movie.
Amazing traditional ryokan with excellent breakfast and dinner included. Staff was very helpful giving us a ride to both the Monkey Park and Shibu Onsen. Get the room with the private onsen, you won’t be disappointed!
Shibu Onsen is a great area. The onsen at this hotel was so relaxing. In a good location. For a low cost hotel I was happy to have a private room, toilet and an Onsen open at any time.
Friendly and helpful staff who are always there when you need them. Hotel has everything you need. Plus, the microwave oven and frozen meals are a great option for those on a budget.
The room with the private onsen was well appointed, the music in the room was a lovely soothing touch. We had an enjoyable dinner and breakfast at the hotel.
I found this hotel to be the nicest one on booking.com, so I decided to stay here. The hotel and facilities look just as nice as they do in the photos.
