Located in the center of Shibu hot-spring area and a 5-minute drive from Yudanaka Train Station, Sakaeya offers Japanese-style accommodations. The staff was so accommodating. We chose the half board and it exceeded our expectations to say the least. We were provided with a private dining room and an unstoppable variety of fresh local cuisine. It was within walking distance of the snow monkeys, the nine Onsen baths were fabulous and the rooms were very large. I hope we have the opportunity to return one day.

Surrounded by Japanese gardens with lush trees and various wild flowers, Fudouson-no-yu Kotobuki features spacious Japanese-Style guest rooms and indoor/outdoor natural hot spring baths. This was by far my best stay in Japan. The room was large and fantastic with so many amenities: a personal sink, tea set, TV, yukata, and a nice table and chairs by the window so you can watch the snow. Aki the innkeeper is fantastic, very kind and accommodating. She speaks great English and we had a great conversation during and after dinner. We drank together and talked about Studio Ghibli movies. She was kind enough to show me a landmark in town that inspired Spirited Away. The food served was fantastic! Far more food than I could ever eat, but I got to sample so much because of it. I had sukiyaki, sashimi, marinated octopus, broiled fish filet, miso soup, rice, and vegtables and more for dinner. For breakfast was an onsen egg, rice, grilled whole fish, a seaweed and veggie sampler, cabbage rolls, boiled veggies, and miso soup. Everything was so well presented and tasted great! The onsen was small, but pretty in the snow. I went in several time and it was so soothing I tingled all over afterward. I even met some people in the bath and we talked in simple English and Japanese for a while. The ryokan is right next to the Snow Monkey Park, so you can get to hiking right away. To top it all off Aki was kind enough to take me to the bus stop so I could head back to Nagano.
