The rooms were beautiful. The staff incredibly attentive. And the private meals were amazing. Having our own Onsen in our room was a wonderful luxury. Though not extremely close to Nagano (an hour by train), the location is close to the train station to Nagano (a 10 minute walk) and very close to the Snow Monkey Park (a 15 minute ride) and mountain towns like Shibu. A lovely time - well worth the splurge.

The spaces are gorgeous with the most hospitable staff. All the Onsen facilities were top class especially the outdoor one. We didn't feel like going to any other onsens in town after being in our hotel. Our breakfast and dinner was exemplary with our vegetarian needs taken into account beautifully by the host and chef. We are very grateful for the effort.

On request a vegetarian breakfast and dinner was prepared, very delicious and much appreciated - thank you very much! The owner also welcomed all guests during dinner, which was very classy and polite, which we liked. Room and view were beautiful. Own free of charge parking made the arrival very convenient. All stuff members were outstandingly kind and helpful. Thank you for having us and for your hospitality!

This place is incredible! The staff are amazingly polite and informative making you feel at home. The accommodation itself is of a surpurb standard being appoint with every luxury required, yet maintaining the Ryokan history. Onsens are delightful and access to onsen alley is literally on your door step. Cannot reccoment highly enough, this place is perfection.

Comfortable and luxurious Japanese rooms, exceptional breakfasts in private rooms, lovely onsen

The attention to detail was outstanding

A very comfortable, cozy and special stay. Our family of four was very happy and the welcome we had from the host was top quality! The dinner and breakfast deserve a special mention as it was very tasty and very beautifully served. The room felt very authentic and full of charm. Akiri went extra mile to drove us to the snow monkey resort and back to the station. We had a private access to the onsen which was special too. One nice stay to remember !

After checking in, we were served some hot tea and then taken by shuttle bus to see the snow monkeys. The staff were all exceptional. Once back, we were personally shown to our room and our bags had already been delivered to the room. The room was fantastic with a beautiful view. We splurged and got the VIP room with the balcony Onsen. There were plenty of complimentary drinks, comfortable electronic recliners and some welcome manju. The onsen on the balcony was fantastic and it was really nice to sit in and watch the snow over Yudanaka.

Excellent location, great food and service, luxurious room and memorable private onsen.

Amazing! The staff went above and beyond, the facilities were fantastic. Totally 5 star experience that I will never forget.
