Mr and Mrs Yumoto are very kind and helpful. I've had a wonderful ryokan and onsen experience at Shimaya.
Yudanaka onsen is a beautiful onsen town surrounded by snowy tip mountains. We came at the right time as there are Sakura everywhere here, it's an added bonus to the already beautiful town.
Mr Yumoto gave us a ride to and fro Jigokudani Monkey Park. The park is beyond just adorable bathing monkeys but also came with great scenery.
Ps: we accidentally leave some belongings behind. Mrs Yumoto brought it to us just before we were reaching the yudanaka station. Thanks to that we wouldn't have to miss the Limited Express train that only take 40mins instead of the usual 70 min train.
Wonderful everything!
