Ryokan Minshuku Miyama
381-0401 Nagano, Yamanouchi, Hirao 821, Japan – Great location - show map
It’s walk distance from the snow monkey park. The open air bath is very nice. Breakfast and dinner are homemade, and taste like traditional food.
JapanThe couple who runs the inn were very kind and accommodating. The onsen was wider than I thought and i liked the winter wonderland scenery of the area. Food was delicious as well!!!
JapanA nice Japanese breakfast and dinner was served that was tasty and a good experience. The family owners are friendly and happy to assist.
United States of AmericaThe room was clean spacious and warm. This minshuku was run by couple who are very helpful . There is not much transportation in the city but owner picked us up at Yudanaka Station and drop off close to Snow monkey park. He also picked us up at Lawson where we visited often. The owners wife gave us hot water often which was helpful to us. They even help me to delivery luggage to other hotel. Hot spring ( onsen) experience was great. Because this couple helped us a lot we had such a great time. I recommend everyone this wonderful Minshuku. Thank you for your help during our stay.
United States of AmericaThe meals made by the wife/husband owners were some of the best I had in Japan. Definitely worth the 1800yen/person cost, you get so much food, great variety and all lovingly made. The hospitality from the owners shines through in everything they do! You can message through booking.com to ask for a pick up from the station which is a little far away. They also were able to drive us close to where the monkey park was. The onsen is great for first timers as well - not too big or public, lovely outdoor setting. Beds were very comfortable too.
AustraliaThe couple who ran the ryokan were so friendly. They picked us up from the station, took us to the monkey park, and made sure that everything went well. The dinners were fabulous, with so many options. And it was a short walk away from Shibu Onsen, which was a cute neighborhood to wander around. It was such a nice experience, and very traditional. I loved it!
United States of AmericaFantastic onsen, wonderful location, amazing and friendly staff.
United States of AmericaThe hosts are adorable, they fixed us a dinner when we arrived late. They also took us to the monkey park and also back to the train station without asking for any extra payment
IsraelThe value is great. If you’re looking to visit the monkey park on a budget, definitely stay here. They will pick you up from the station, take you to the station and the monkey park for free, whenever you need. The owners are SO sweet, and it really feels like you’re staying with a family friend. The futons were comfortable, the onsen was nice and relaxing (but very hot!!) and the FOOD! The food was the absolute best. Tastes better than my grandmother in-law’s cooking, and that’s saying something.
JapanThe owners were absolutely wonderful! Very helpful, friendly, and kind. It was wonderful to soak in the Onsen every evening and morning. I had the place to myself in the mornings, great way to start the day.

-
- What's a ryokan?
- A ryokan is a traditional Japanese inn. They usually feature bathhouses, multicourse dinners, communal spaces where guests can relax, and rooms with woven-straw flooring and futon mats. Like hotels, a range of ryokans (from budget to luxury) is available. What originated centuries ago as a free rest house for long-distance travelers has evolved into a popular destination for relaxation surrounded by therapeutic mineral springs.
-
- What are the big differences between a ryokan and a hotel?
- Unlike a hotel, where the guest room is just a place to turn in for the night, a ryokan is more than just a place to sleep. In Japan, many travelers journey long distances to relax in a hot spring bath and feast on a traditional multicourse dinner – staying in a ryokan is an experience in and of itself. These ryokans typically have Japanese-style rooms with woven-straw floors and futon beds (no Western beds and carpeting). You should also remove your shoes at the entrance of the room, or before you enter it. Modern ryokans might serve buffet-style meals in a dining area, while more traditional ryokans tend to serve in-room dinners. Some ryokan rooms have a private bathroom, and others might just have a shared bathroom.
-
- What's a kaiseki meal?
- Kaiseki is the culinary highlight at a ryokan, embodying beautifully presented dishes that delight both the palate and the eyes. Every one of the 10 to 15 dishes that make up the multicourse Japanese dinner is prepared in a way that highlights the unique textures, colors, and flavors of featured seasonal ingredients and local specialties. Most commonly served at special restaurants and ryokans, a traditional kaiseki dinner usually consists of bite-size appetizers, fresh sashimi (raw fish, like sushi), soup, grilled fish or meat, a hot-pot dish, rice with miso soup, and a small dessert.
-
- What's a yukata?
- A yukata is a casual summer kimono or robe, typically made of light cotton. Many ryokans provide guests with yukata robes during their stay. In some areas, it's common to see guests strolling through the neighborhood in their yukatas. The loose-fitting garment is perfect for sleeping and relaxing in.
-
- How should I wear a yukata?
- First, put your arms through the sleeves like you would with a robe. Take the right side of the yukata and wrap it across your body. Then, take the left side and wrap it over the right, making sure that the robe is level at your ankles. Pinning the yukata closed on the right side, wrap the sash around your waist a couple of times and then tie a bow. Generally, the bow is tied around the waist for women, and the hips for men.
-
- What's a Japanese hot spring (onsen)?
- Onsen (literally "hot spring") is a term often used to refer to both the mineral-rich hot springs and the bathing facilities that house them. Whether the bath is public or private, gender-segregated or mixed, indoor or outdoor, soaking and unwinding in the soothing geothermal waters at an onsen is a millennia-old custom deeply embedded in Japanese culture.
-
- What's standard bathing etiquette?
- At a bathhouse—onsen or not—guests are expected to remove all clothing in their respective changing rooms before entering the bathing area. As a common courtesy, once inside the bathing area, guests should wash and rinse their bodies thoroughly before quietly stepping into the hot water. Whether you relax in solitude or converse softly with others is up to you, but guests should always be mindful of others. Wash towels are often used to cover one’s private areas while walking around. However, note that you should not put towels in the water.
-
- Why are tattoos not allowed?
- While tattoos have become more popular among Japan's youth, many Japanese people still associate them with outlaws and organized crime. Nowadays, not all businesses ban customers with tattoos, but you might still be refused admission to bathhouses and swimming pools. Small tattoos can be covered up using waterproof bandaids, but keep in mind that each property has the final say on what’s acceptable.
