Situated 3 km from Jigokudani Monkey Park, Yudanaka Onsen Yamazakiya offers accommodation in Yamanouchi with access to a hot spring bath. This 3-star ryokan offers free shuttle service and full-day security. The ryokan features rooms with air conditioning, free private parking and free WiFi. If I could write a three page essay about this delightful inn managed by Akira,Yumi,Kiyoko and Family, I would gladly do so. Where do I begin? Akira and family were the most attentive and genuine people. Akira picked us up from the train station, drove us to the Monkey Park and dropped us off early morning for our departure from Yudanaka. The meals were fresh, distinct and delicious. We had the tatami room facing the river and were lulled to sleep by the sound of it. Bathrooms are shared but there was never a problem accessing them and they are super clean and functional. The private Onsen was fantastic - relaxing, clean and spacious. Akira also has the key to the two public onsen so just ask if you want to experience the public bath. Akira’s mother, Kiyoko is a gem - such a gentle force of wisdom - and a wonderful human all around.

At Daymaruya Ryokan, guests can enjoy hot-spring baths and traditional Japanese-style accommodations with free wired internet access. A free shuttle is available from Yudanaka Train Station, which is a 5-minute drive away. Excellent stay in a traditional Ryokan. The couple running the hotel are absolutely fantastic, offering to drive us to the Monkey Park and collect/drop us off at the train station (a 15 minute walk away) and were very helpful in giving recommendations and informative leaflets about the area. There was a Onsen in the hotel that was private for the guests and the stay also included free use of all 14 public Onsens in the village. The room was enormous with a private toilet and fridge (no shower as this was within the Onsen space). We were worried about the comfort of the tatami mat beds but they were very comfortable. Air conditioning and heating both available in the room. Lovely choice of restaurants in the area and beautiful little village. Breakfast and dinner options available but we did not use this.

This was such a wonderful place to stay! The hosts are very attentive and generous, the room was spacious and clean and the onsen was very very nice and private at no extra charge. We did not order a meal because we had our small child with us, but it smelled so good so when we come back again, we will have to get dinner!
