Search Palaces in Yudanaka Station

"Taking the price per night into account, the hotel was very good value. The furniture and such are quite dated, but they ae kept neat and clean. The breakfast buffet spread is quite extensive. Mostly Chinese items, given most of their guests, but I enjoyed it. The staff was courteous, though communication is a challenge, which is to be expected in this part of Japan. Improvement opportunities- I would like for them to run their shuttle to the train station later into the evening. And second, post a notice on onsen rules in English in the onsen. Not all western tourists are aware of them, as I found out. "

"Room was massive, double the size of any room we have stayed in in Japan. Pillows had both Western and traditional Japan options. Fiona was encompassed in a fitted sheet (never seen this before) but kept us all warm even when it was sub 0 outside. Room had access to outdoor area, exclusive to the room, which had table and chairs. As it was an insensitive, there was only a toilet in the room - all showering had to be done downstairs in the onsen. Onsen was boiling hot - too hot for most of our group. Tip - if you don’t want to keep pushing the button to keep the water going har a shower in the onsen on the left. Location wise was great too - couple of minutes to the train (although up a very steep hill) and near lots of restaurants and the bus for the Snow Monkeys. Enjoyed our stay and would stay here again."

"The Ryokan exceeded all our expectations. The food was absolutely outstanding -beautifully presented and truly memorable. The service was impeccable, attentive, kind and genuinely welcoming. The staff went above and beyond to make us feel comfortable and cared for throughout our stay. Having a private onsen that we could reserve was the perfect touch. It was peaceful and relaxing.We truly enjoyed the authentic Ryokan experience."

"Very cool staff was very nice and helpful!! "

"Good location central to the Shiga Kogen ski fields. Down a driveway and across the road to the lifts. Excellent service, the team were exceptional. Food was good and the lounge area around the fireplace was a great spot to relax after a long day. The hotel itself like many in the area is in need of an update but was perfect for us."

"The meals were exceptional as were the wonderful staff. "

"Staff was very kind, even with the language barrier, were more than helpful. Rooms were well equipped with extra blankets and mattresses. The hotel bus drove us to the Monkey park and to the train station upon checkout. Onsen was very hot and clean. Would love to come back! "

"Excellent value. Nothing too fancy, but for the price we paid we were very happy with our stay."

"The private onsen in our room was highlight of our stay. Staff was the best, everyone were helpful and efficient. There is a free shuttle to the snow monkey park. "
