While this is an older hotel, it is clean, things are in working order, and rather charming and unique. For example, I had a large room with a small patio that offered a beautiful view of the city. It’s in a quaint quiet town with gorgeous views of the mountains surrounding the town. I appreciated the thoughtful touch of hot green tea. The thermos amazingly kept the water hot even till the next morning. Because I went during « low » season in May, I was able to enjoy the onsen to myself ! The host/owner is a sweet man. It is rather expensive for one night but I did not regret my stay. I did get plenty of exercise being on the fourth floor with no elevator.

The owner was a very sweet elderly man. He was very nice. Drove us to the Snow Monkey park, gave us a souvenir, and provided beautiful Yukakas. The room was nice sized, had a beautiful view of the mountains, and the bed and quilt were nice. The Onsen was wonderful...a must try. take note: No elevators.

This hotel would have been truly elegant in the 70s, the building is now a bit dilapidated but the rooms are clean, the hot tubs are hot, and the staff helpful and charming. You could hardly do better for the price.

I will be up front, this is an older property with some older sensibilities, not everything is pristine and glistening and new. What you do get however is one of the most charming bath houses, set against a backdrop of stunning mountains. It is a family run business and they will and do go the extra mile for their guests. I cannot reccomend more than if you are going to see the snow monkey park nearby that you stay here, enjoy the fantastic ambiance, a thoroughly musical breakfast and some of the best and kindest owners you could ask for.

The gentleman who runs the place is very nice and accommodating. There was hot water and tea waiting for us in our room, which was a delicious, unexpected treat. The bathroom / shower are small, but were clean and served their purposes. The women’s onsen was very relaxing and much needed after a day at the Snow Monkey Park. My family and I enjoyed our stay.

Cozy place that’s conveniently accessible to Yudanaka station. There’s a convenience store (Lawson) located right outside the train station and on the way to Shimaya.
The couple who owns the place is very friendly, often greeting guests at the common area throughout the day.
Room is spacious enough for 2, including much space for airing snowboarding attire. Comes with hot water that is replaced everyday, as well as green tea powder if you wish to make your own.
Washroom and bathroom are clean.
Overall a very pleasant experience, would highly recommend to anyone visiting Nagano and/or snowboarding at Shiga Kogen.
