Excellent place to stay. The gentleman at the hostel offers pick up and drop services from Yudanaka station, Snow monkey park and some onsens in Yamanouchi. Although he speaks only Japanese, he uses a translator and tries his best to communicate with you. We will be staying here again when we come back.

The host picked us up at the station very promptly. The hostel was organic, Japanese style. The host took us to the local onsen (public bath) and then later picked us up. The next day, he took us to the snow monkey entrance and then picked us up and dropped us off at the train station. The foton beds were comfy with the traditional hot pack put into them for warmth. Even though we are not used to sleeping on the floor, it was a great experience.

The owner/proprietor is amazing! Extremely welcoming and accommodating, personally helping to drive and drop you around the local area. This is great for anyone wanting a small intimate ryokan experience.
