The place is beautiful and the private onsen: AMAZING (indoor and outdoor). Breakfast was a nice varied Buffet and loved the provided yukatas. Would definitely go back! ##### Gerardo Stayed 2 nights in Jan 2026 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Song-sy 8 Jan 2026 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Super hospitality!

The van driver gave us rides to and from Snow Monkey Park and to the train station - very helpful! We enjoyed the dinner and breakfast came with the plan. We also enjoyed the inside/outside hot springs. Affordable hotel with excellent customer service! ##### Naoko Stayed 1 night in Oct 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Chris 28 Jan 2026 Liked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities The staff were all pleasant and friendly. The two girls at reception were helpful and spoke enough English to be understood if not used google translate. The Thai man who looked after breakfast was great. The onsens were fabulous and the temperatures alternated between them on different days The room was a good size (one person) a little dated but that was ok The shuttle to the train station was available any time in the mornings and it was only a 4 minute walk back in the afternoon Lots of restaurants close by Breakfast buffet was plentiful with Japanese and western options available Definitely not a ski in/out hotel as advertised on the websites Would recommend if looking for off the mountain budget accommodation ##### Chris Stayed 11 nights in Jan 2026 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Angel 20 Feb 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities The service here was amazing, best stay!! ##### Angel Stayed 1 night in Feb 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Shiv 18 Jan 2026 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities 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. ##### Shiv Stayed 3 nights in Jan 2026 ### 10/10 Excellent #### SONYA 23 Feb 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Great central location in Yamanouchi This is a great family friendly hotel. We booked a room with a private onsen which was absolutely worth the extra cost. The hotel has a shuttle which will take you to/from the Yudanaka station and the snow monkey park. This was a great place to stay. ##### SONYA Stayed 3 nights in Feb 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Thu 2 Mar 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Lovely ryokan experience Great hotel, really nice and accommodating staff.

The gentleman at the front desk who spoke great English was lovely, he helped us with everything and was also attentive during our kaiseki dinner, helping explain everything. We had a tatami room, it was nice, the bathroom a little dated, but the onsen was fabulous. The outdoor onsen was beautiful. Loved our stay here and can recommend it to anyone. ##### Dominika Stayed 1 night in Apr 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### John 19 Oct 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Manager and staff were super friendly and helpful. Room was very spacious. Traditional sleeping mat was very comfortable and I probably got my best night's sleep while on this trip. Walls are a little thin, but all guests were quiet and respectful of others. Baths looked great but unfortunately didn't get to use them. With size 15 feet I wouldn't expect any of the hotel slippers to fit. We had excellent meals within a 5 minute walk. Really enjoyed Yamanouchi! ##### John Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Aislinn 17 Nov 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Really fantastic stay. Both for the experience, and easy location to the monkey park (which the staff provided a free shuttle to and from). Decided to go for half board - breakfast/dinner - and the food was SO good, especially the second night’s dinner. Staff were all wonderful and attentive and the Onsen (indoor and outdoor) was the perfect way to end the day. 10/10 recommend and will stay here again if I’m back in the area. ##### Aislinn Stayed 2 nights in Nov 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 4 Apr 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Relaxing trip to Yudanaka Wonderful stay in Yudanaka Hotel Housei. Everything from check in to check out was superb. The staff were so friendly and helpful. They drove us to the Snow Monkey park and to the train station. The breakfast buffet was delicious with so many traditional foods. Onsen was relaxing after a cold day walking around.

The dinner was a masterpiece with so many small dishes I couldn’t count. The staff were lovely and helped get us to the snow monkeys for opening time and arranged to collect us to drop us back to the station which was so appreciated. ##### Emma Stayed 1 night in Apr 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jayvee 26 Feb 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Loved my stay at Hotel Housei. Yamanouchi is one of my favourite places in Japan and this is a great place to stay as it is within walking distance of Yudanaka and Shibu Onsen. Hotel Housei provides shuttle service to Snow Monkey Park and Ski areas nearby. Dining and breakfast options were great. I must also mention the staff is very English-friendly which made things very easy for me. ##### Jayvee Stayed 2 nights in Feb 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller 22 Dec 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Friendly staff Very friendly staff at the hotel, they helped a lot and were very welcoming in English! They had a nice dinner and solid breakfast (with some western dishes). At the end I was positively surprised with a free transfer to the station. Definitely recommend. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Dec 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Aubrey 23 Mar 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Went with the half board and used the osen.
