Yamanouchi Hotels with Bars

The room was very comfortable and clean, and the bedding was great. The refrigerator has free drinks juice and beer, and it is free to fill up every day. The private soup in the villa is also very good, very comfortable and private. We booked breakfast and have Japanese and Western options (not buffet form). The location of the villa is convenient, just a few minutes walk from Hell Valley Park, and 2 minutes from the bus stop. It is very convenient to go skiing in the snow field. In short, it is a very good hotel. If money is not a problem, it is highly recommended. If the only drawback is that if you play other places in Nagano, you need to have a transportation to Nagano and then continue. We chose the bus, about 1 hour to Nagano. In addition, if you take the electric rail to Yudanzhong Station, it is a bit awkward to get off the bus. After asking for a long time, I realized that there is a small house opposite the station that can dispatch a taxi, 3.5 kilometers, 1700 yen. I have already suggested to the hotel that I should leave the hotel mailbox for better communication. At present, the platform provides Japanese phone calls. Who will call the international long-distance and ask how to get there? I don't know, I didn't call, because even if the hotel tells you, you are also confused and do not know what to do.

由於剛裝修完，酒店硬件一流，所有設備都是新的，一進房間有香香的原木味，房間配置了一個露天風呂，水温足夠熱，但不確定是不是天然温泉。 預定是一泊二食，餐食也很滿意。

I came from the Snow Monkey Park Senjukaku and took a bus to Okushiga Plateau at the bus station for about 40 minutes. It drove all the way into the depths of the mountains. In the middle, I passed the mountain station where there was a cable car for sightseeing. As I walked further, I saw some dilapidated hotels. I was very worried, but when I reached the end, I could see the hotel. It was in good business condition. I booked a top-floor room with an area of ​​42 square meters. It was sunny and had a mountain view. The room pictures had not been updated, but it had actually been renovated. It was very comfortable and exceeded my expectations. The entire hotel has more than 30 rooms, 6 of which are on the top floor, with the best view. There is a hot spring on the 4th floor. There is no business or convenience store here. It is recommended to book a plan that includes breakfast and dinner, which is very cost-effective. There are 2 restaurants, one Italian and one Japanese, as well as Chinese. I recommend the Italian one, which has a strong sense of ritual and is very well done for the price. The Japanese dinner on the second day was just average. The hot pot had two choices of pork and fish. Fortunately, the seasoning was sour and salty, not sweet. Breakfast was an Italian buffet, and the Japanese set menu. I chose the same buffet breakfast both days, and it was delicious. The hotel is primarily for skiing, with ski-in, ski-out access. It's right next to the cable car station, perfect for escaping the summer heat. The end of September is off-season, so there aren't many tourists, mostly Japanese. The clientele was very nice and quiet, and I felt like I was the only one there. I highly recommend the hotel's stream hike, which was 200 RMB a great value. I was the only one there that afternoon, and the staff, Mr. Nakayama, was excellent. We drove to the hiking spot, then walked along a primitive forest path, not recommended for those with limited mobility. We saw two waterfalls, but the undeveloped path was scary walking alone. If you don't have cell service, you'll need a guide. The ride back to the hotel took two and a half hours, and I highly recommend it. There's also an uphill hiking trail next to the hotel, great for all ages. The hotel offers a shuttle bus to and from Nagano Station, but reservations are required. It stops at bus stop number 30. The journey from the hotel to Nagano takes an hour and a half, and the minivan and the many turns downhill can make it easy to get carsick. The downside is that the bathroom is brand new, but my room smelled a bit like horse manure. In summary, although it is deep in the mountains, it is comfortable and good to live in. I recommend it.

Excellent Ryokan located in the center of Shibu Onsen, right at the bus stop. The hotel is very typical and traditional, run by the Takimoto family. The private Onsen are excellent and very well maintained. Everything perfect, top welcome and services! We went during the winter with snow and we did not suffer from the cold inside the rooms. Very good and very rich dinner!

We arrived early, but they held our luggage for us and let us use the foot bath while waiting for the next bus to Yokoteyama. The homemade ice cream was exceptionally delicious. The bus stop is very close (although local buses run infrequently), making it extremely convenient. We used this place as a base to take the bus to the Yokoteyama Skylator, from which we easily reached the Manten View Terrace and the shrine at the summit. Following their advice, the next day we headed to the Yamanooki. While there were many foreign staff members, the service at the front desk and the dining area was warm, friendly, and pleasant. Taking a walk around the hotel, and witnessing the breathtaking morning glow, sunset, full starry sky, and the Milky Way at night was truly moving. The following day, as advised, we returned to Yamanooki, took the gondola toward Higashidatateyama to reach the Garden Terrace, and the scenery there was also spectacular. Everyone—from the hotel staff and local facility workers to the bus drivers—was so kind, making this a wonderfully pleasant trip.

More traditional Japanese-style hotel, dinner is eaten at the izakaya opposite, there are packages and a la carte to choose from, OK, relatively quiet, breakfast is simple, there is bread coffee juice, if you can be rich, it is better

Convenient skiing, comfortable hot spring
