Yudanaka Yasuragi

We've loved everything about our stay in this place. Even before arriving we had good contact with the owner concerning our stay. Owner picked us up from the station and dropped at the entrance to Jigokudani Monkey Park so we could visit it before check in time, while he took care of our luggage. After we've checked in we were able to use onsen few times during our stay. Ryokan itself is a beautiful place in a traditional Japanese style. It was very well maintained and clean. Our room was spacious and comfortable. In the evening we've enjoyed kaiseki dinner - we had to order it in advance, and we highly recommend to not skip it as it was delicious and worth every penny. In the morning owner drove us back to the trains station so we could continue our journey. We highly recommend it and would love to come again for another stay.

Ho scelto questa struttura incuriosita dalle molteplici recensioni positive e non potevano essere più vere! Personale gentilissimo: ci sono venuti a prendere in stazione e ci hanno portato allo Snow Monkey Park. Anche la mattina della partenza ci hanno riportato in stazione. La struttura è molto bella e pulita e c'è la possibilità di fare l'onsen privato. La sera abbiamo scelto di cenare nel ryokan e non potevamo fare scelta migliore: tutto ottimo, abbondante e preparato in casa al prezzo di circa 35-40 € a testa (una cena così in Italia te la scordi a questo prezzo!). Veramente un'esperienza bellissima, da portare nel cuore ♥️

Niente, é stato tutto perfetto!!

Leuk om onsen als badkamer te hebben.

The owner of the ryokan was great. She was very friendly, answered all questions, drove us to the station and to the monkey Park and also did amazing breakfast and dinner. I can 100% recommend this ryokan. Thanks very much for taking care of us the last days! :)

The highlight of our trip to Japan. Beautiful family run Onsen with bespoke attention to detail to make you feel so welcome and cared for. Spectacular onsens (two to choose from), with personal time in each easily arranged. The host made us the quintessential traditional Japanese breakfast with a morning dessert to finish. The host then drove us to the monkey park and met us at the station afterwards with our baggage. Couldn't recommend this exquisite place anymore. Would love to come back one day.

Owners are so nice and helpful. Plave is very clean! Private onsen. Breakfast AMAZING!!

Sehr freundliche Betreiber, Transfer vom und zum Ryokan ist selbstverständlich, genau wie der Transfer zu den Schneeaffen; Essens- wünsche bei Frühstück und Abendessen wurden berücksichtigt; der große Onsen ist klasse und war sehr erholsam. Frühstück und Abendessen sind in typischem Style gehalten.

Les deux Onsens privatifs sont très agréables, les chambres extrêmement confortables, l'hôte était parfaite ! L'emplacement est idéal pour une nuit de déconnexion et de repos. Je conseil fortement à tout voyageur de séjourner ici une nuit au cours de son voyage. Le repas et le petit déjeuner sont très agréables et copieux.

The hosts at Yudanaka Yasuragi were amazing! They picked us up from the local station on our arrival and dropped us off at the Snow Monkey Park the next day at our request. They also cooked us a brilliant vegetarian special dinner on the night of our arrival. The private onsen was a particular highlight too - lovely space for relaxing and it was nice to have it to ourselves.

Had a choice of 2 onsen’s and you could have it as private use for half an hour, which was awesome. Enjoyed a lovely meal for Dinner. So many different little things and was absolutely full by the end.

lovely lounge area where you could cook your own meals

no hand towels

Comfortable traditional accommodation. Owners very helpful - picked up from station, dropped off at Monkey Park, and advised on bus stops. Made very welcome.

The hot pool was magic and the food fabulous

An exceptional experience from start to finish. This beautiful Ryokan was immaculately clean, the hosts were so warm and caring and really went above and beyond to look after us throughout our entire stay. They were so kind and so helpful. The food was superb with very generous amounts and lots of variety. The private onsen on site is divine!! I don't know how I'll live without it! It was amazing to spend some time unwinding in such a lovely setting. Our time here was a great highlight of our trip, I can't recommend staying here strongly enough. Outstanding value for money and such care and attention to detail given to everything.

Our wonderful hosts warm welcome began when we were picked up from the train station. We were then treated to a special experience that included deliciously prepared home cooked meals for breakfast and dinner as well. The place was clean and comfortable and we all enjoyed our private Onsen experiences. Thank you so much.

A fantastic stay, very comfortable and the hot pools were amazing.

This is one of those rare places that stays with you long after you leave. It is a small, owner-run hotel, and that intimacy is exactly what makes it special. The owners are warm, attentive, and genuinely invested in your stay. They even reached out before my arrival to check if there was anything they could help with. That kind of care is uncommon and immediately sets the tone. The property itself is beautiful. Spotlessly clean, thoughtfully decorated, and authentically Japanese in every detail. It does not feel staged or curated for tourists. It feels real, and that is a gift. If you stay here, please do not skip the breakfast and dinner experience. Both exceeded every expectation I had. The food was delicious, the presentation was considered, and eating there felt like a genuine introduction to traditional Japanese cuisine rather than a hotel meal. It was one of the highlights of my trip. I recommend this hotel without hesitation to anyone visiting Nagano. I am giving it the highest possible rating, and I would go higher if I could.

A wonderful place to spend a night prior to seeing the snow monkeys. The host is lovely, the room cosy, the food plentiful. 7-eleven around the corner for anything you might have forgotten.

Nothing - loved it.

The dinner and breakfast, both served kaiseki style, were exceptional. We wanted to experience a stay in a traditional onsen ryokan and Yudanaka Yaseragi certainly met that criteria. We were very well looked after, especially by the very kind lady who picked us up at the train station, explained the etiquette of the ryokan and served us our meals in what felt like a traditional but comfortable way. Only six rooms meant the 2 onsens were available to use privately both morning, late afternoon and evening.

Authentic experience with lovely host s, our dinner was exceptional. Picked us up and dropped off at train station and drove us to Monkey Park. Loved the onsen to come back to after a day out.

This is a family owned yudanaka, the lady that manages it is very kind and helpful the owner even took me with his car to the monkey park 😊.(They can also get you from the yudanaka station and then leave you there again on your check out) The dinner was delicious and the onsen great - you can privately use it, also the massage chair was the best one I've ever used 🥹.

Le repas proposé par les propriétaires était excellent. Des gens charmant et attentionné. Des chambres jolies, simples et confortables. Des Onsens facilement privatisables, propres et spacieux. Magnifique séjour dans cet endroit.

It was really comfortable and authentic. The owners were excellent and really helped us out.

Todo perfecto. La atención de la señora que lleva el alojamiento es inmejorable. La habitación muy espaciosa y cómoda. Onsen privado. El desayuno y cena que sirven en el alojamiento de 10. Muy abundante. Servicio de recogida en la estación.

Todo estuvo perfecto.

Host was amazing The Onsen Fantastic food

tudo . foi maravilhoso. quarto otimo e confortável, limpissimo, onsen otimas , cadeira massagem , e o jantar foi uma grande experiência. especial amei. e a proprietária maravilhosa em ajudar , dirigir p nos levar a estação trem . voltarei

老闆很親切，環境也算蠻乾淨的，在雪季這個區域是很便宜的選擇

大澡堂跟私人風呂的規則比較神奇，比較容易會需要排隊

We loved our stay here! The owner was so sweet and helpful with schedule suggestions and transporting our luggage from the station and taking us to the monkey park. Also very punctual for our pickups. We paid extra for the dinner and it was well worth it! Both dinner and breakfast were phenomenal. Tons of little dishes of delicious home-cooked food that added up to a very filling meal. Some foods I’ve never tried or even heard of before, like a wild spring vegetable in the tempura, and local specialties like apples. The onsens were private, convenient to use, and very peaceful and pretty.

The only thing I can think of is that there were two onsens and the smaller one was too hot for my taste and I couldn’t go in. There was advice on the wall to run cold water in it and stir it up, but I ended up just using the dipper to pour water on myself and then used the larger onsen when it was free.

Great hosts! They picked us up from the station, drove us to the monkey park and to the station on our checkout day. Both dinner and breakfast were very tasty in a very cute dining room. Both large and small private onsens are great. Clear recommendation!

Me gustó todo. Recomiendo desayunar, la mujer es una buena cocinera y comerás en su modo tradicional. Te recogen en la estación y te llevan en coche al parque de los monos. Te guardan las maletas e incluso te acercan a la estación al terminar de ver los monos, te preguntan a que hora coges el tren. Puedes usar los baños termales en privado (ellos te explican). Por la casa no pueden andar con zapatos.

De gastvrouw was superaardig en zorgde ervoor dat we van alle gemakken voorzien waren. Het diner was geweldig en ook het echt japanse ontbijt was top. De onsen was ook fijn. Als je echt een authentiek verblijf zoekt dan is dit zeker een aanrader!

The Hot Springs were the most iconic part of this! Two really amazing Hot Springs, and it was totally tattoo friendly as they were private. We did dinner at the property, which was also totally worth it. Everything was cooked gorgeously. They also picked us up from the station and drove us to monkey Park, which was super helpful.

not the fault of the property, but just so people are aware if you sing in the hot springs, we can all hear you.

Excellent property, with great onsen, spacious, clean rooms, and a comfortable dining and communal area. Dinner was especially delicious and presented with very good service. Would recommend to anyone!

Traditional Japanese property with private onsens and the food was amazing, some of the best on our trip. Host was so lovely. Definitely returning

That we only stayed one night

특히 정성스러운 식사에 매우 만족했습니다. 아주 작지만 공용 욕실은 매우 청결했습니다. 여주인의 친절함과 세심함에 감동했습니다.다시 가고 싶은 숙소입니다.

The staff was great! The clean and authentic room was just what we wanted. So many nice touches to combine modern needs in a traditional accommodation. The private onsen really made this a special place.

That we had to leave :(

We had an excellent room; very spacious and clean. The futon beds were comfortable. We enjoyed the onsen and our dinner on the night of our arrival was excellent (so much food that we actually couldn't finish eating what had been served to us). The food was tasty and the many courses complemented each other very well. The hosts kindly picked us up at the train station and took us to the Monkey Park while they looked after our luggage until check-in time and they also gave us a lift to the station at the end of our stay. The hosts were very prompt in responding to any of my enquiries.

The location was quite a way down the valley, and there didn't seem to many eating places close by.

Muy acogedor

The property was lovely and well kept. Our room was beautiful and the futon beds and pillows were very comfortable. There was a heater inside the room so it stayed warm despite the chilling outside weather. The owners kindly drove us to and from Yudanaka Station as well as to the Snow Monkey Park. I would highly recommend including breakfast in your stay, it was delicious and included both traditional and western style dishes. We also chose to eat dinner at the hotel and found it was one of the most enjoyable meals of our trip. They kindly catered to our food preferences of no fish, and presented a delicious ten dish meal, including tempura veggies and wagyu, all of which were insanely delicious. The hotel itself is slightly further from town (about 10-15min walk) but we found no issue and quite enjoyed exploring the town. There were also two private onsens to enjoy, which we used daily. They were beautifully warm, my only suggestion would be to bring conditioner, as only soap/shampoo was available, however this was not an issue for us. If you choose to visit Nagano, I would highly recommend choosing to staying at Yasuragi for an authentic experience.

Clean.

温泉が気持ちよく、食事も美味しくて、部屋もゆったり過ごせました。

The hosts were very kind. They even drove us directly infront of the monkey park. The handmade breakfast was delicious! Also the large onsen was a highlight for us.

Es hat alles gepasst, das Essen ist hervorragend. Abholen und bringen zur Bahn hat gut geklappt. Es hat unseren Vorstellungen entsprochen.

בית אירוח מדהים! בעלי הבית כל כך אדיבים, הגיעו לאסוף אותנו מתחנת הרכבת של יודאנאקה והסיעו אותנו לפארק הקופים במקום יש אונסן פרטי, החדרים גדולים ונקיים והשהות הייתה נהדרת ארוחת הבוקר הייתה עשירה בפריטים, בחרנו גם את ארוחת הערב שהייתה עם מספר רב של מנות והייתה מאוד טעימה ממליץ מאוד על מקום האירוח הזה

We absolutely loved this place, it’s truly a Japanese experience we were a little worried about the lack of western beds but after the first night we realised we had nothing to worry about. We booked the room with private toilet and it was huge. We were there for skiing and the owner was so kind they drove us to the station each day. I highly recommend eating there at least once, I am celiac and always a bit scared but we were provide a gluten free meal and it was delicious. The onsen is incredible and there is even a massage chair which was awesome after a days skiing. Lastly it is right near a 7/11 and there is a microwave in the tea room for guests so we were able to cater to our needs with that as also small fridge in room

We really appreciated the warm welcome from Owner Kobayashi who collected us from Yudanaka station even though we arrived slightly early, kindly drove us all the way to the snow monkey park and stored our luggage until we returned! Highly recommend the kaiseki dinner, the most flavoursome and delicious meal with multiple courses all carefully prepared and beautifully presented! And the breakfast was just as delicious. Lovely private shower and onsen facility (two private onsens available) and they have everything you need. Room was comfortable and spotlessly clean! Thank you!

Przemiła właścicielka, przestronne pokoje, czyściutko, dobra lokalizacja i świetny onsen.

Wszystko było świetne!

Dinner - Great, Large Onsen - Great, Small Onsen - To Hot!!, Breakfast - Great! The room was a little cold because the oil heater was turned off and not turned back on. Otherwise- Great

Small Onsen to hot to use, Oil heater was turned off, and not turned back on, so the room got cold.

Our stay was made so special by the beautifully maintained building, generous and welcoming owners, and delicious Japanese food. The owners did everything to help our stay be easy and convenient, traveling with two young children. We also thoroughly enjoyed our daily family onsen experience after big days of sightseeing and skiing. We’re so grateful for our experience here, thank you!

We were picked up at the train station, driven straight to the entrance of the Snow Monkey Park and our luggage was waiting for us in our room when we returned. Delightful rooms and the amenities are great! We all had kimonos in our rooms which was cute. Yummy and plentiful breakfasts. It is about a 10-15 minute walk uphill to the train station but the owner can often drive you. The Shiga Onsens are over 3km away, but the bath in the guesthouse was so nice that we didn't feel the need to go, and it has a massage chair!

The only minor issue we had was with the hardness of the futons. But we asked for extra mattresses and pillows and they set them up for us, after that we slept great

Kobayashi San e signora ci hanno accolto benissimo, abbiamo potuto vivere un'esperienza meravigliosa grazie a loro. Consiglio a tutti di provare la cena, va prenotata in anticipo, ma è veramente squisita. Il quid in più sono i due onsen privati, da provare alle 6:30 di mattina per affrontare la giornata al meglio. Sono disponibili gli Yukata per entrare ancora di più nella tradizione. Inoltre vogliamo ringraziare ancora Kobayashi San per averci accompagnato davanti all'ingresso dello Snow Monkey Park.

Nulla, tutto perfetto

Los dueños son dos adultos mayores muy simpáticos y amables, nos cayeron muy bien, son muy serviciales y están atentos a todo lo que necesites, fueron por nosotros a la terminal del tren y también nos llevaron al santuario de los monos de nieve. Ofrecen cenas con costo extra, la cuales valen muchisimo la pena, delicioso!! El Onsen es lo mejor, perfecto después del frio del exterior.

todo fue perfecto

La persona encargada nos dio un recibimiento espectacular, muy cálida, todas las indicaciones muy claras, la habitación estaba limpia, las amenidades también muy limpias y cómodas. El desayuno fue delicioso y muy al estilo de un Ryokan, definitivamente vivimos la experiencia al máximo🙏🏻❤️ El onsen fue muy relajante y limpio, tenía de todo, volvería para estar más noches y disfrutar de sus comodidades, muchas gracias por ser el personal tan amable y cálido ✨ A demás muy amable el personal que nos ofreció transporte a la estación más cercana para seguir nuestra aventura🙏🏻

Todo espectacular, nada malo que mencionar

Fantastic dinner and breakfast, plus the hosts were incredibly nice and helpful. The option to use the onsen privately was amazing.

La atención, el personal fue muy amable y cariñoso. Los baños termanles se podían convertir en privados por lo que te podías bañar tranquila. Las piezas grandes y cómodas. El desayuno estuvo delicioso y en gran abundancia. Nos fueron a buscar a la estación y luego nos dejaron en el parque de los monos. Cuando llegamos al hotel la pieza estaba lista y nuestras maletas en la pieza. El lugar muy cómodo y confortable.

Lo único que podría decir es que los baños (wc/toilet) eran compartidos. Separados hombres de mujeres. Era un poco incomodo cuando te levantas durante la noche para ir al baño pero a pesar de eso estaba todo muy limpio y ordenado. Los pasillos del hotel se mantenían calientitos con estufas.

The owners Husband and Wife were real people welcoming us beginning to end! The ryokan stay with onsen and breakfast and dinner were the highlight of our trip! Authentic sleeping (large room) on tatami mats and food!

We loved everything!

Ryokan tradicional muy acogedor, sus dueños fueron muy amables. Te van a recoger y a dejar a la estación de tren. , también te llevan al parque de los monos de nieve. Habitación espaciosa, primera vez que duermo en futon y fue bastante cómodo. El desayuno típico japonés muy rico, vale la pena probar. Onsen privado maravilloso.

No hay mucho que ver (turístico) en los alrededores a pie, pero en realidad fuimos allí para visitar el parque de monos y ellos te llevan en vehículo.

Lovely onsen and a beautiful yukata was provided. Dinner was a multi-course feast, a great experience.

A little out of the way, but free pickup & drop off for the station make this less of an issue.

so many things i love about this place, this was easily one of our favourite places of our trip. we chose to stay here as we wanted a place with ryokan and its close to the snow monkey park. the hosts were lovely people, we arrived at the station at 12pm, and he had came to pick up our bags so we could go around and visit the town before we checked in. the room was very comfortable & spacious, and we also opt in for their Kaiseki dinner and breakfast which i strongly recommend anyone who are staying here to try out. we had a really good restful time here and the next morning, the host had fetched us to the snow monkey park in the morning. we took the bus back and it was a very smooth experience. if you are coming to nagano, this is 100% the place to be.

Notre meilleur hébergement au Japon! Nous recommandons sans hésiter. La propriétaire est adorable. Apres avoir lu les commentaires nous avons réservé pour le repas du soir et nous n'avons pas été déçu! Absolument à ne pas manquer si vois séjournez ici. Les chambres sont belles et très propres. 2 onsen sont à disposition, un vrai plus!! À 15min à pieds du centre de Yudanaka. Le service que propose cet hébergement est incroyable.

Very accommodating, we asked for a Muslim breakfast and without asking provided us with a prayer rug. Very caring people and amazing cozy vibe to the place.

No complaints

We had an amazing stay, I cannot recommend Yudanaka Yasuragi enough! The location was perfect, allowing for easy travel to the station and to see the snow monkeys. The owners went above and beyond to ensure that we had a memorable experience, communicating timeously, taking us to and from the station and to see the snow monkeys. Even when one of our members forgot their phone, they went the extra mile to help ensure we did not miss our train. The breakfast was fresh, filling and delicious. We were very impressed by the food as well as grateful for the accommodation made for our one member who has a gluten allergy. The onsen was beautiful and equipped with everything you would need. The rooms were private allowing you to soak with your party in peace. We were also provided with our own yukatas and extra toiletries. Thank you once again for everything and making our trip so special and memorable!

The hotel is super nice and clean

We loved everything about this place. The hosts, the room, the amazing food, the onsens, the location and the price.

The host and workers are incredibly considerate friendly and nice. They recommended us many things and even drove us to the station and the monkey park in their car

Creo que nunca había puesto un 10 a un alojamiento hasta ahora, éste se lo ha ganado con creces. Increíble la amabilidad de los señores Kobayashi, no solo se prestan a recogernos en la estación de tren con su furgoneta sino que nos llevan sin coste adicional al parque de Jigokudani. Por otro lado, el ryokan está impecable, limpio y decorado con atención a los detalles. El onsen privado es un auténtico lujo, hasta tiene un sillón de masajes maravilloso. Una recomendación adicional: nosotros dudamos si coger la cena que ofrecen en el ryokan por 6000¥, y finalmente la cogimos. ¡Menos mal que lo hicimos! Resultó ser una de las mejores cenas de nuestro viaje. Estilo kaiseki, hecha allí mismo y servida a la manera tradicional, merece muchísimo la pena. Por último, me gustaría destacar un detalle: nuestra reserva incluía el desayuno, pero lamentablemente nos teníamos que ir muy temprano al día siguiente y no podríamos degustarlo. Al hacérselo saber a la señora Kobayashi, nos descontó el coste del desayuno del coste total de la estancia. Su honradez, su sonrisa con todos los huéspedes, su amabilidad extrema, la exquisitez de la cena y lo impecable del ryokan les hace más que merecedores de un 10. No me cansaré de recomendarlo a todo mi entorno y, si vuelvo, por supuesto volveré a hospedarme aquí.

Todo ha sido perfecto.

We enjoyed both dinner and breakfast at Yudanaka Yasuragi. Both were exceptional and I would highly recommend, We also enjoyed the privte onsen.

Lovely little traditional onsen ryokan run by a family. Love the private bathing. Great breakfast and dinner!

We wanted a more traditional experience and it had everything. Beautiful owners of this ryokan, onsen for your daily shower or bath, we had a traditional Japanese meal with many many courses. They drove us to the snow monkey park which was fantastic and we loved staying in a very small community right near the monkeys. 7 Eleven very close. The most wonderful hosts. Everything so clean and perfect and traditional. Exactly what we wanted.

Very nice stay, clean and friendly staff. Helping with lifts to station and monkey park.

Prefer my own toilet, but it actually worked pretty well sharing.

everything. absolutely perfect staff and service. they drive you to and from the station as well as the monkey park ! both public and private onsen available and sooooo warm and absolutely amazing!! felt so relaxed. rooms warm and comfortable even in the snowy weather !!

helpful owners, very generous meals, could book private onsen session. lift to and from station and to Monkey Park very much appreciated. very friendly puppy. gave little gift for staying.

The hosts were amazing, they picked us up from the station, dropped us to the Snow Monkeys the next day and then later met us at the station with our bags, it made our stopover so much easier. Location is great, 7-11 over the back fence or a 10 minute walk into town for food. The futons were reasonably comfortable as they were triple stacked.

מקום קטן וחמוד מאוד, אווירה יפנית מסורתית

The kaiseki dinner was PHENOMENAL, as was the breakfast. The traditional room was beautiful and plenty of room for us and our two infants on the three comfy futons. Amazing views and so great to have Private onsens to use. Great to have easy parking and very close to the Monkey Park.

Had a wonderful stay at Yudanaka Yasuragi! The atmosphere was peaceful and relaxing, the rooms were comfortable, and the staff were incredibly kind and welcoming. Perfect place to unwind—would definitely stay again.

The owners are very kind, they dropped us to the monkey park and then dropped our luggage to the station after we got the bus back to town. We enjoyed the Kaiseki dinner which was a huge amount of food for 6400pp. So much love and car went into making it and was a great Japanese experience Onsen was super nice to have on the bottom floor also

Ryokan tradicional, en un entorno apacible, perfecto para relax. Está un poco apartado del pueblo, pero se llega a pie en 15 min desde la estación de Yudanaka (también nos ofrecieron recogernos en coche de la estación los dueños del hotel, lo cual es de agradecer!). Tienen 2 onsen y son maravillosos, te explican claramente cómo funcionan y está muy bien cuidado. Te ofrecen la posibilidad de una cena tradicional estilo kaisen, que es súper recomendable. La atención de los anfitriones insuperable, nos llevaron en coche hasta el parque de monos y están pendientes de si habrá monos o no para que decidas si te merece la pena subir.

La zona es oscura de noche, hay un 7-eleven justo detrás del hotel, pero nada más. Después de las 7-8 de la noche ya no vimos factible salir a pasear en yukata, también ofrecido por el alojamiento.

The peaceful atmosphere, the friendly staff, the delicious food, the surrounding attractions - monkey park and SORA lookout - and the onsen.

Nothing - our stay was perfect. We were cared for beautifully.
