Very nice big room with a very cute balcony, view to the river and a tiny waterfall. Tea and biscuits waiting for us in the room. It seems a bit like a Ryokan but we had our own bathroom. Very nice old couple owning the hotel. They didn't speak much English but they were so nice and friendly with us! Hotel looks quite old but clean and well maintained! Nice outdoor and indoor spa! There is also a sauna and a device that massages your feet! Very good location, 10 min from the snow monkey park

This hotel was enjoyable for our stay. We booked it purely for the proximity to the bus/train station and were happy with the facilities. The Japanese-style room was clean and warm (stayed during winter). The onsen was also nice and we found it a pleasant and quiet stay. Though we didn't use them, the hotel also had provisions to arrange trips to visit the Snow Monkeys which is a major attraction of the area.

There’s a bar in the hotel where you can get something to eat if you don’t feel like walking downhill to a restaurant. The staff is so welcoming and helpful! There’s a kitchen area where you can cook. The lobby is very cozy and relaxing. Btw, if you want to take a bus to the snow monkey park or the ski resorts, take them at the Daifunsen stop. You don’t have to walk all the way to the train station.

Food (traditional Japanese breakfast and dinner) is excellent. The owners are very friendly and will drive you to the ski area and to the bus station - both are in 3 min drive. There is a ski rental at the hotel where we could get ski, snowboards and all we needed for a family of 4. If you are a foreigner looking for the charm of the traditional Japanese ryokan, you will not be disappointed.

We could not have asked for a warmer welcome. We were picked up from the train station, and upon arrival at the hotel, shown the facilities. On our first night we chose to done at the hotel and were given a lovely home cooked meal. The room was spacious, warm and comfortable. We were even given a lift to the snow monkey park

Beautiful ryokan in the heart of Yudanaka. Perfect for overnight stay before visiting the snow monkeys. Kaiseki dinner and breakfast were amazing, as was the onsen in the sister hotel. Great friendly service, they made sure we got to the free snow monkey transfer on time. Would definitely recommend!

We had a great time at Shimaya. The owner was SO helpful: drove us to the monkey park (twice) and to the station, gave us information on sights, trails, restaurants etc.. The hotel is clean, the onsen in super nice.

Very good dinner set & breakfast buffet (a lot of food & various types). Staffs are very kindness. The Hotel provides shuttle bus services from/to Snow Monkey Onsen Park and sent to Yudanaka Station.

The hotel was excellent and everything you need for a great snow holiday. Restaurant is good enough to never need to leave but area is accessible enough that you can go explore easily.

I loved everything. the owners were really nice and kind. the food was great. the onsen was amazing. the town was beautiful to walk through.

Lovely lady, and a beautiful ryokan! Our best accommodation over our whole stay in Japan.

The hotel was beautiful! A shuttles picked us up from the train station even though I had not requested it or told them what time we were arriving. An English speaking staff member greeted us at the door and continued to be extremely helpful throughout our whole trip! Japanese style room was very clean and comfortable. We reserved the private onsen on the roof, it was a great price for an unforgettable experience. Meals were great and could not beat the location. Very central to yudanaka station and nearby restaurants.

The private onsen bath was truly amazing. Hotel was exceptional and well located in Shibu Onsen. Public onsen was also lovely, and private dining for breakfast was a nice experience.

This ryokan was lovely. The staff were friendly and spoke English very well. The food was delicious! We loved the outdoor onsen, and it was very near the snow monkey park.

Perfect location directly at the lift and in direct proximity to ski school. Great Food Friendly and very supportive staff Lounge with open fireplace and live piano music
