Hotel berhampiran Jorakuji di Nakano

大浴場はあまり大きくありませんが、とても綺麗で良かったです。部屋もまだ新しくとても清潔感があり利用して良かったと思います。またチェックインが遅くなっても非常に良い対応で気持ち良かったですです。 朝ごはんも種類が多く、全種類食べきれない程のボリュームでした。また機会があれば利用したいと思えました。

Great no frill hotel with clean and functional room for a comfortable night. The location is good if you are driving and many restaurants and supermarkets are all within 10 drive away. This location is also good for driving out to the various ski resort in Nagano.

通常のホテルや宿とは雰囲気が違いますが、清潔な環境の中で落ち着いた時間を過ごすことができました！ また機会がございましたら泊まらせていただきたいと思います。ありがとうございました！

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Minshuku Miyama. The bus stops right in front (bus stop S10 Kutsunomimyo). The owners are extremely welcoming, eventhough they don't speak any English. You can book in for dinner if you want (traditional dinner for 2200 yen p/p, which is a absolute delight and highly recommend). Japanese breakfast is included in price. The onsen is spacious and therapeutic after a long day hiking. Traditional spacious Japanese room. The owner drove us and others to station, when we left. Highly recommend staying here.

We stayed here at the end of our time in Japan as a treat and for the traditional Japanese inn / onsen experience and we certainly weren’t disappointed. The room was huge and the seating area was seamlessly converted for sleeping by the hotel staff while we ate our dinner. The food was traditional Japanese with seemingly endless small plates of delicacies (a similar story at breakfast). The onsen was fabulous - we used it 3 times in the one night we were there and loved it. All in all a great experience and lovely place to stay.

Absolutely stunning ryokan Our corner room had great views of the surrounding mountains (the town has 360 degrees of mountain views) The private onsen was a real treat just get in when ever you wanted. Amazing food and the staff were super friendly and very accommodating, even the hotels owner stops to have a chat with all the guests. Only down side for us, is we didn’t book extra nights there!

With a stay at Shibu Onsen Ichinoyu Katei in Yamanouchi, you'll be within a 5-minute drive of Yudanaka Hot Spring and Shiga Kogen Ski Area.

I booked a night in Yudanaka with my partner so that we could visit the Snow Monkey Park. Most places were already booked up, so we went for Yorozuya (sometimes romanised as Yoroduya) even though it was a little beyond our budget. At £300 a night for a double room with dinner and breakfast, I thought “this had better be good…” Honestly, it was probably worth double that. The ryokan itself is massive; the atrium has a scale that almost defies sense. We were greeted by staff who were awaiting our arrival, and took our luggage up to our room while we enjoyed a complementary matcha tea. A guide led us up the stairs, handed us XL yukata to wear during our stay and explained the situation with towels. She took us in the lift to our room, and showed us how to access the onsens and where the dining halls would be. We took a few moments to settle into our tatami-floored room, change into our yukata, and investigate the albeit pretty boring view from our balcony. For the record: the joy here is _inside_ the ryokan rather than outside. We tested both the on-site onsen; they operate on schedules so that male guests and female guests bathe separately, but can both enjoy both of the baths. It is worth trying both. It’s a cliché to say, but particularly coming from Europe without much experience of this kind of venue, they made me feel like I was in Spirited Away, if Spirited Away was a series of Hokusai prints. I loved relaxing in the heat of the outdoor bath surrounded by rocks, trees and classically Japanese sculptures, with snow gently falling. Suitably relaxed, it was time for dinner. This was worth the whole booking price alone. We were served a 10-course kaiseki dinner, in a private booth, with attentive staff bringing us fresh water and sake whenever we desired. Every single bite was exquisite. While not 10 courses, this extended into breakfast which was a similar luxurious experience. I was sad we only had one night there, and would go back in a heartbeat. The experience of staying here creates a stronger draw for me to return to Yudanaka than the snow monkeys. We were treated so well, and truly unwound in a setting that felt almost too good to be real.

東京から茅野までの「あずさ」の往復とバスの乗って松本と上田の観光、翌々日に高遠へ行くという信州の桜を巡る格安のツアーで2泊しました。総額で34,000円なのでホテルに割ける費用は限られていると思います。なのでホテルには期待はしていませんでした。湯田中温泉と言っても夜間瀬川の対岸の穂波温泉に位置します。湯田中温泉も寂れていますが、さらにこちら側は寂れています。周囲には廃墟になったホテルや旅館もある中頑張っているのだと思いますが、施設はかなりくたびれています。特に客室のくたびれ度合いは進んでいると思います。2泊連泊なのですが、掃除や布団の上げ下ろしは省略されています。浴衣とバスタオルなどは2泊分が用意されていました。そんな中で夕食は部屋食なので、テーブルは脇に寄せられ、照明が当たらないので暗い印象を受けます。ツアーの案内にも部屋食がポイントにはなっていますが、特にサービスとしてのポイントではなく、大広間の1つが朝食会場なのと、もう1つが宴会場なので部屋で食べるしかないのが実情のように思います。宿泊した時は別の団体さんが宴会をしていて、カラオケの音がうるさかったです。フロントから一度階段を下りてエレベーターに乗るので、足の悪い方にはお勧めできません。部屋食は会席のセットですが、コンロで暖める料理が2つありますが、それ以外は冷めています。同じように温め直せればよいと思います。自分たちはコンロの料理の脇に乗せて温め直しました。固形燃料とアルミホイルとライターがあると便利だと思います。部屋にはお勧めの追加料理の案内がありますが、注文するなら前日の早い時間にしたほうが良いと思います。朝食時はレストランのスタッフの方が少なくて、ジュースに牛乳や料理がすぐに切れてしまいますが補充が遅いです。珈琲が切れていたのでスタッフの方にお願いしたところ、廊下から「コ―ヒーコーヒーうるさいんだよ！」という声が聞こえてきました。その方が戻ってきたので嗜めると片付けの手を止めずにお尻をこちらに向けながら「そりゃーすいませんでしたね。」と言って去っていきます。フロントに行って報告したところすぐに読んで謝らせます。」とのことでしたが、謝意のある方では無いのは分かっているので翌朝のレストランで顔を合わせないようにしていただきました。翌朝は若いスタッフの方がたくさんいて驚きました。唯一温泉だけは源泉かけ流しで、もったいないほどお湯が流れています。少し集めで気持ち良かったです。サウナはありませんが、露天風呂も良かったです。ちょっと残念な滞在ではありましたが、朝食の一件以外は悪い印象はありません。

This Ryokan is located in a traditional Onsen village, with a nice, peaceful & old quaint atmosphere. There are many ( think it's 9) public onsens in the area which guests can also use, besides the inhouse one. Room is typical ryokan with tatami bed & inroom bath. Place is very clean. Service is par excellence! Very warm & friendly staff ( few speak English) all round makes you feel welcome. Staff will set up your bed( tatami) while one have their dinner. Traditional set Breakfast & Dinner (included) are very good quality, very traditional & excellent . Great inhouse onsen. Hotel can pick/send guests from/to train station ( from 1.30pm onwards only) . Also one way to Monkey Park. Easy bus access on main road. Only negative thing is this Ryokan is located at the end of a long uphill walk along the onsen village ( tough dragging heavy luggages or even just walking back). We arrive around 11am, so they can't pick us from train station. Took a bus & walk up & waited. Thankfully the nice lady ( think she is the owner) came to open door earlier to put our luggages. But no big issue. Lots of shops were not opened but some opened later in evening. Great experience not to be missed.
