Staying at Shimaya was the most delightful experience in so many respects. We were picked up from the station, by one of the staff and after check in, he took us to the snow monkey park where we had a wonderful day. On our return, we were met by Mr Yumoto who was very kind and helpful, giving us information on a local onsen and places to eat. The room was big and comfortable with a balcony and a great view of the town and mountains. The breakfast in the morning was an event in itself! There was a pianola playing in the background and Mr Yumoto came down and put on his vintage jukebox and played some Beatle records. It was so nice to see his pride in his establishment. The breakfast was fresh and plentiful. On our return to Australia, we met up with friends who coincidentally had also stayed at Shimaya and had similarly found it superb. I can highly recommend Shimaya as a place to stay in Yamanouchi.

Just a great host. Loved the room, and they provided us boots and a ride for the path up the mountain to the snow monkeys. We also borrowed 2 yukata to use in the room. Breakfast was 700 yen/person and included fruit, toast, hard boiled eggs, cereal, juice, and coffee. He also took a photo with us to say goodbye.

It's a very nice small village and Shimaya was home-like to my trip. Shima-san speaks fluent English and he was super helpful. He drove us to the monkey park, and he even gave us little gifts when we were checking out. Do try the private bath, it's Amaaaaaaazing!!!!!

My trip to Japan was very last minute, with zero advanced planning beyond my initial hotel accommodations in Tokyo. Because I often didn't know until 1-2 days out where my next destination would be, by the time I decided to head for Monkey Park, all of the higher-end accommodations in the vicinity were already sold out. This wound up being a happy accident! Although the accommodations at Shimaya are quite basic compared to my usual 4 or 5 star hotels, the graciousness of the hosts more than made up for this and I wound up having a very enjoyable stay. The couple was happy to offer sightseeing and/or dining recommendations and they provided free rides to and from the park, the local restaurants, as well as the laundromat. They even went out of their way to coordinate taxi service for me, when I needed direct transportation to a destination that was typically further than would be accepted. Shimaya is in a good location and run by good people.

This is a small ryoken (bed and breakfast). You can reserve a private onsen (where you and your opposite gender companion) can bath together. The proprietor is nice and gave us a ride to see the snow monkeys. He spoke some English which was helpful as an American and the messages of gratitude from many countries and languages all over the walls suggest that many other travelers from all over the world had good stays.

We had a very enjoyable couple of days staying at the Shimaya Roykan. The whole experience was extremely welcoming: our friendly hosts, the lovely traditional rooms, the comfortable beds and wonderful onsen. From Shimaya we ventured out to see the rest of the town, Shibu and the snow monkeys. Our host kindly advised us to go early and gave us lift there - which made a big difference to the whole experience. At the encouragement of our host, we also ventured to the local free public onsen just round the corner - it was a fantastic thing to do and extremely hot! It

When you go to Shimaya you feel very at home and welcome in this traditional ryokan. Having the opportunity to try the onsen was one of the highlights of the trip. The Inn owner was very kind to drive us to the Snow Monkey park and gave us boots to wear since it was raining. The breakfast was simple but delicious (my kids loved the toast and apples). The town is very cute too and you feel like you’re in an authentic (non touristy). A lovely inn run by a very sweet couple.
