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. We LOVED our stay. The owners and friendly, kind, helpful and welcoming. Our room was large with a private wash closet. (Shower room is common). They picked us up and dropped us to the train, took us up to the snow monkeys and offered suggestions and advice about locations in town. They are always kind and we were happy to run into them in the hallways and say hello. They have male and woman baths and a private osen also available. You can place your order a traditional breakfast in advance of the morning if you want one. They have a map of the local area with recommendations for food. We really enjoyed our stay.

The air-conditioned rooms have tatami (woven-straw) floors and Japanese futon bedding. A TV, fridge and an electric kettle with green tea bags are provided in each. Rooms come with a private toilet but bathrooms are shared.

Japanese dishes featuring local ingredients are available at the ryokan. Dinner is served in a private dining room. I had a very pleasant stay at Suminoyu. The facilities are great - there’s a public bath of the property on the top floor. The room is spacious and well-kept, and the futon comfortable. The food quality for dinner and breakfast is top notch. The staff is very friendly, attentive, and professional. 10/10 would recommend and consider to be back again when I get the chance. ありがとうございます!

Yasuragi Inn’s Japanese-style rooms have tatami (woven-straw) floors, futon beds and a flat-screen TV. Each room is air-conditioned. A fridge, an electric kettle and yukata robes are provided. All guests have access to the on-site hot spring public baths, and they can be reserved for private use. (please inquire at the front desk for more information.) The host is just super nice and helpful, she pick us at the train station and she explain us what we've to see in the town, like a little guide. She bring us to Monkey park when we arrived and she kept our luggage to put it in our room so no worries for us even if we came before the check in time. We can choose to eat at the ryokan or not (is not included), and it was amazing : homemade delicious dishes in a typical atmosphere. The osen can be private when we wanted and all bath stuff is included. So no regret and we recommend it ! ✌️
