Ryokan Hotel Yudanaka
381-0401 Nagano, Yamanouchi, Yudanaka 3246-2, Japan – Great location - show map
The authentic Japanese setting, big, spacious rooms, and the very friendly staff and restaurant on the ground floor.
GermanyThis is quite a large hotel located a short walk from Yudanaka station. Buses to ski resorts and snow monkey park depart from here. Room was large with great view equipped with fridge, kettle and traditionally matted sleeping platform.
United KingdomI loved breakfast it was very traditional tasted like it was home-cooked. They served the best-tasting fish in a bento set up. It was also a complete meal with rice, soup, egg, and dessert which could give you more energy to hiking up the mountains.
PhilippinesVery close to Yudanaka station and conveniences are near by. Very friendly and helpful staff. Onsen is very clean with various pools ranging in temperature. Comfortable futons and nice pillows. Bathroom tap is tricky and a few things were a little dated in the room but wasn’t an issue at all. Very comfortable room. Quite a big walk to Shibu Onsen but very enjoyable. Free shuttle to the Monkey park (which is awesome) but you need to get your own way back. We chose to walk. Long way but great way to soak up the atmosphere. Very nice stay.
AustraliaGood location. Close to the station, shops and restaurants etc. Also has a free bus to snow monkey park.
AustraliaAuthentic traditional japanese room. Spacious and clean. Lovely onsens. Free shuttle to the Snow Monkey Park
AustraliaGreat Onsen facilities and super friendly staff. Large rooms and comfortable futon beds! Very close to the village centre and free shuttle transfer to the monkey park was a bonus!
United Kingdomlove the spacious Tatami room & close to station. it would be great if they put an English signage. Public Onsen is big & clean
IndonesiaWonderful place to stay with Onsen. Delicious breakfast and helpful friendly staff.
Czech RepublicFantastic location to see the Snow Monkeys (which is why we went), got taken up there in the morning by the hotel and they even gave us umbrellas because it was snowing. Stayed in a twin room with a friend and we loved it, it was quite a big room and more authentically Japanese than anywhere else we stayed. The hotel also had its own onsen and there was a restaurant within the building.

-
- What is a ryokan?
- A ryokan is a traditional Japanese inn. They usually feature public baths, multi-course 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 travellers has evolved into a popular destination for relaxation in therapeutic mineral springs.
-
- What are the major differences between a ryokan and a hotel?
- Unlike a hotel, where the guest room is simply a place to turn in for the night, a ryokan is more than just an accommodation place to sleep. In Japan, many travellers journey long distances solely for the purpose of relaxing in a hot spring bath and feasting on a traditional multi-course dinner – thus making staying at a ryokan an experience in and of itself. These ryokans typically have Japanese-style rooms with woven-straw flooring and futon beds, instead of Western beds and carpeting. In addition, you remove your shoes at the entrance of the accommodation, or before you enter the room. Modern ryokan may serve buffet-style meals in a dining area, while a more traditional ryokan serves in-room dinners. Some ryokan rooms may come with a private bathroom, while others will only have a shared public bathroom.
-
- What is a kaiseki meal?
- Kaiseki is the culinary highlight at a ryokan, embodied in beautifully presented dishes that delight both the palate and the eyes. Each of the 10 to 15 dishes that make up the multi-course Japanese dinner is prepared in such a way that highlights the unique textures, colours, and flavours of the featured seasonal ingredients and local specialties. Served most commonly at special restaurants and ryokan, a traditional kaiseki dinner usually consists of bite-sized appetizers, fresh sashimi (raw fish), soup, grilled fish or meat, a hot pot dish, rice with miso soup, and a small dessert.
-
- What is a yukata?
- Yukata is a casual summer kimono typically made of light cotton. Many ryokans offer guests yukata robes during their stay. In some areas, it is common to see guests strolling through the neighbourhood in their yukata. The loose-fitting garment is perfect for relaxing and sleeping in.
-
- How to wear a yukata
- First, put your arms through the sleeves like you would with a shirt. 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 levelled at your ankle. 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 is 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.
-
- Bathing procedures and etiquette
- At a public bath – onsen or not – guests are expected to shed all their clothes 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 must not put towels in the water.
-
- Why are tattoos not allowed?
- While tattoos have become more popular among the youth of Japan, many Japanese people still associate them with outlaws and organized crime. Nowadays, not all businesses ban customers with tattoos, but you may still be refused admission to public baths and swimming pools. Small tattoos may be covered up using waterproof plasters, but keep in mind that each property has the final say on what’s acceptable.
