For most travelers, Shinshu-Matsumoto Airport (MMJ) is the practical choice, sitting closest to Yamanouchi in the heart of Nagano Prefecture, although it is not in the city itself. Haneda Airport (HND) serves as the major international gateway in Tokyo, offering extensive connections but requiring a significantly longer journey to Nagano. Komatsu Airport (KMQ), located in a neighboring prefecture, offers an efficient train-based connection via Kanazawa for those arriving from western Japan or specific Asian hubs. Noto Airport (NTQ) and Niigata Airport (KIJ) primarily serve the Noto Peninsula and Niigata city respectively, and are generally only selected if specific regional flight schedules align with your plans. Travelers should note that none of these airports are physically located in Yamanouchi. We recommend prioritizing high-speed rail connections for comfort and speed, while using local buses when budget is the primary concern.

Our family made a special trip from Tokyo to Nagano, and besides exploring the surrounding attractions, watching the snow monkeys soaking in the hot springs of Nozawa, and visiting the Togakushi Shrine, the highlight of this trip was staying at Issa no Komichi Biyu no Yado.
Initially, we had modest expectations, thinking of it as just another experience. However, upon arriving in the snowy Yudanaka Shibu Onsen, we were immediately impressed by the warm and professional hospitality. From the thoughtful reception to the exquisite dinner and the unique public onsen, every aspect exceeded our expectations and left us pleasantly surprised. This wasn’t just a hotel stay—it was an unforgettable journey into the heart of Japanese onsen culture.
If you’re planning a trip to Nagano, this is definitely a place worth visiting to experience the perfect blend of hot springs and nature!FromUS$167

It was my first time to experience Japanese tatami, which was very unique and had a beautiful view from the window.
The room was large and air-conditioned for heating. People who are afraid of cold may not feel that warm, but it will be much better after taking a hot spring bath. The kelp snacks in the room were delicious, and I bought some when I left.
Private hot springs are reserved for a fee.
The yukata in the room is relatively simple.
The best thing is that the hotel provides station pick-up service, and you can go directly to the Wild Monkey Park without luggage the next morning. After the tour, go to the coffee shop next to the parking lot where you get off and call the hotel to pick you up. The hotel will help you carry your luggage and send you directly from the Wild Monkey Park to Yudanaka Station, which is very convenient for independent travel!FromUS$181

Located in the heart of Shibu Onsen, Kokuya is a traditional Japanese inn that has been operating for over 400 years. It's the only inn in the area with its own six different 100% natural hot spring baths, featuring eight public baths and ten rooms with open-air hot springs. It has been passed down through 16 generations. Furthermore, the central area of Shibu Onsen boasts a 1300-year-old hot spring town with nine public onsen (hot spring baths) for hotel guests and residents. The ninth onsen is the largest, featuring a golden bath and a sauna. Next to it is a hot spring shrine and foot bath, right next to Kokuya.
Kokuya's hot springs are rich in minerals, beneficial for improving muscle, joint, and skin problems. A free shuttle bus (approximately 3km) takes guests to Jigokudani (Hell Valley) to see snow monkeys and enjoy the hot springs. A free shuttle bus connects to the train station, and freshly cooked onsen eggs (100 yen each) are available at the inn's entrance. The hotel boasts a clean and elegant interior with maze-like corridors and wooden staircases. There are dedicated luggage handlers (three floors in total), creating a perfect setting for a period drama, reminiscent of Yubaba's old house in Spirited Away…
The hotel also offers traditional Japanese kaiseki dinners with over nine dishes. Ingredients are freshly delivered from Nagano. The menu changes monthly according to the season. Vegetarian options are also available (please inform us in advance).
All guest rooms are designed in a traditional Japanese style, featuring Japanese-style bedding and a bathroom with a sink, TV, safe, refrigerator, towels, and yukata. Ten guest rooms have private outdoor baths. The hotel is surrounded by several temples of varying sizes and different springs nestled in the mountains. The water temperatures of these springs vary, with the highest reaching 56°C. Municipal water supplies are provided to each household. Several bridges connect the two sides of the river in front, including a red-painted bridge that resembles a scene from Spirited Away. I suspect that Miyazaki Toshiro may have drawn inspiration from this place… A very nice hotel and hot springs; the staff are polite and attentive.FromUS$183

We loved staying in Koishiya!
It is a lovely, quaint, cozy, homey ryokan and the service was excellent.
We booked this property at the last minute because we decided to spend the night in Nagano just a week prior to the start of our trip and we are so glad we did. Shibu Onsen is a super cute town. It being covered in snow when we were there made it all the more magical.
The members of the staff were super warm, acommodating, generous and conversed well in English.
They picked us up from Snow Monkey Park even though it's not part of their service. We didn't know this because we haven't yet read the hotel orientation materials by then. The owner of a snack store in Monkey Park arranged the pick up for us because it looked like we were so tired from walking.
Thank you so much for picking us up, Koishiya!!
We stayed in the annex and we had the whole building to ourselves. It was really a memorable stay for us. They also dropped us off at Yudanaka Station after check out.
Thank you, Koishiya and hope to stay there again, soon!FromUS$25

When I arrived at Yudanaka Station, I tried to call on my cell phone, but the phone didn't work, so I was able to request a shuttle service with the help of the station staff. It didn't take long for the staff to come and we were able to move quickly and comfortably. From the time I arrived, they came out to the door and greeted me kindly, and they kindly explained the nearby hot spring tour and the use of the ryokan facilities. We were a family of four (2 adults, 2 children), but the accommodation was not small. Dinner on the day of check-in and breakfast the next day were provided, and the meals were delicious, and the staff who served the food were also very kind. When I returned to the room after dinner, a cozy blanket was set up, so I could rest comfortably. When I checked out the next day, I was able to go to the monkey park through the shuttle service. Overall, all the staff were very kind, so I felt good. The facilities were clean, and there were many things to see around, so I definitely want to go again next time. I highly recommend it to others.FromUS$127

It was brilliant!
It is the same with pictures on this site.
They gave me yukata and towel and changed it every day. I had a tea and enjoyed it on my balcony. I tried a futon at first time in my life.
I had my own reserved table for breakfast.
❗❗❗The hotel has its own bus with driver, which took me to the Snow Monkey Park and to the station for free!
Actually staff was so polite! It is seems like you are someone important.
Actually the only one minus that you can't go to all 9 Shibu Onsen's baths, but just to 9th bath only. But the hotel has its own bath even open-air.
It was really nice and comfortable accommodation.FromUS$52

Mostly good experience. The staff was super friendly and accommodating. The French restaurant was delicious. And it was great that there was a ski rental and storage right inside the hotel. Added to that, the convenience of skiing right to the lift is heavenly. The bar/ lounge was chill and cozy. However it either seemed there was a shortage of staff, mostly new staff, or both. The mandatory dinner reservations were very restrictive even though when getting there at the reserved time, the restaurant was half empty. And most frustrating was that there was no options for getting any type of food after 8:30. So if you get hungry after that time or want a snack, you better pre buy one of the 3 options of instant noodles from the lobby store (before it closes also).FromUS$187

Because we wanted to watch the fireworks festival and experience the hot springs, we booked a room here. We were greeted by a grandfather. It was a little late and raining when we arrived at Yudanaka. The grandfather came to pick us up. It was very comfortable to soak in the hot springs. Yudanaka should not be the peak tourist season. Maybe we arrived too late and left too early. The road was very deserted and there were not many people.FromUS$115

The hotel itself was good, with friendly staff and excellent food. However, our stay was negatively affected by a serious booking issue.
We booked through Trip for 3 adults and 1 child. The booking details clearly stated that only the onsen tax was payable at the hotel with no disclosure of additional charges for a child. I also emailed the hotel prior to our stay to clarify details but received no response.
At checkout, we were unexpectedly charged an additional 40% of the adult rate for our child despite not requesting or using an extra bed. The hotel informed us they were only notified of 3 adults, confirming a miscommunication and misleading information on Trip.FromUS$256

Amazing family run ryokan just few minutes drive from Snow Monkey Park.
Booked a room with a private in-room onsen but it didn't make much sense as the bath was hot but there was no hot water in the shower. The room was spacious with comfortable beds and futon. Nice yukatas and socks were provided in the room.
Public baths in the ryokan are great (especially outdoor area), we tried both of them.
The kaiseki dinner and japanese breakfast are VERY delicious.
The staff and the owner are so nice and welcoming.

I came from the Snow Monkey Park Senjukaku and took a bus to Okushiga Plateau at the bus station for about 40 minutes. It drove all the way into the depths of the mountains. In the middle, I passed the mountain station where there was a cable car for sightseeing. As I walked further, I saw some dilapidated hotels. I was very worried, but when I reached the end, I could see the hotel. It was in good business condition. I booked a top-floor room with an area of 42 square meters. It was sunny and had a mountain view. The room pictures had not been updated, but it had actually been renovated. It was very comfortable and exceeded my expectations. The entire hotel has more than 30 rooms, 6 of which are on the top floor, with the best view. There is a hot spring on the 4th floor. There is no business or convenience store here. It is recommended to book a plan that includes breakfast and dinner, which is very cost-effective. There are 2 restaurants, one Italian and one Japanese, as well as Chinese. I recommend the Italian one, which has a strong sense of ritual and is very well done for the price. The Japanese dinner on the second day was just average. The hot pot had two choices of pork and fish. Fortunately, the seasoning was sour and salty, not sweet. Breakfast was an Italian buffet, and the Japanese set menu. I chose the same buffet breakfast both days, and it was delicious. The hotel is primarily for skiing, with ski-in, ski-out access. It's right next to the cable car station, perfect for escaping the summer heat. The end of September is off-season, so there aren't many tourists, mostly Japanese. The clientele was very nice and quiet, and I felt like I was the only one there. I highly recommend the hotel's stream hike, which was 200 RMB a great value. I was the only one there that afternoon, and the staff, Mr. Nakayama, was excellent. We drove to the hiking spot, then walked along a primitive forest path, not recommended for those with limited mobility. We saw two waterfalls, but the undeveloped path was scary walking alone. If you don't have cell service, you'll need a guide. The ride back to the hotel took two and a half hours, and I highly recommend it. There's also an uphill hiking trail next to the hotel, great for all ages. The hotel offers a shuttle bus to and from Nagano Station, but reservations are required. It stops at bus stop number 30. The journey from the hotel to Nagano takes an hour and a half, and the minivan and the many turns downhill can make it easy to get carsick. The downside is that the bathroom is brand new, but my room smelled a bit like horse manure. In summary, although it is deep in the mountains, it is comfortable and good to live in. I recommend it.FromUS$273

It's a 10 mins walk uphill from train station so maybe better to try to contact them for a complimentary pick up.
The place is super grand and 2 onsens. A Instagram worthy one that the males and females get to use it at different timings. The shower stuff in the onsen are mediocre though. No fancy facial stuff for women unlike some other onsens at this price range.
We had breakfast and dinner for the 2 nights. And well worth it. But you have to follow a fixed timing and we felt a bit rushed but otherwise it was really great and service perfect.
We had one the biggest rooms I believe Room 716. Had a sitting area and also a sleeping area. Easily fits 8 persons. We were only 2. In the day they kept the futons and brought it out at night. Towels changed every night.
There is a van that goes straight to Mount Yokoteyama ski resort. The receptionist didn't seem to know about it but you could try to Google. It was a complimentary ride to and fro if you bought the lift tickets. Took only like 30 mins to get there. You can get rentals at hotels there.FromUS$387

The hotel was great and exceeded our expectation in all ways. the parking was large and easy to access. The facilities were great especially the onsen on level 5, the view of teh onsen out to the mountains was fantastic.
The reception and staff in the hotel were super courteous and smiley and friendly.
The breakfast was beyond expectation , the hotel staff will meet you at the lobby and guide you to your seats/table where all the food has been prepared and laid out. the food was great and super filling, with appetizer, miso soup, side dishes, main, rice, fruits, green tea/coffee and also dessert in the form of yoghurt. Aside form that, for the Western breakfast, they set up a toastbox at the table for you to toast your basket of bread assortment.
Other worthy aspect are the 8-10pm Sake hours, where you are given tokens to sample the range of sake and wine from their coin-operated dispenser, along with free snacks.
When they make up the room daily, they will also leave sample of snacks on the table daily.
Overall it was a great stay and i will definately recommend this hotel to others/my friends.FromUS$118
