Ryokan Biyunoyado

Such a beautiful Ryokan. The food was amazing and the rooms were cute and comfy. The view was incredible and the Onsen very clean and relaxing.

Echte Ryokan ervaring met Onsen en Dinner. Shuttlebus van en naar Station en natuur park

Accoglienza impeccabile, personale gentilissimo e cortese. Ottima pulizia e splendida onsen. Anche cena e colazione sono state assolutamente all'altezza. Dovessi rifare un viaggio da queste parti, tornerò sicuramente perchè ti fanno sentire una regina

Staff super disponibile e gentile. Onsen molto grande e molto bello. Navetta gratuita per il parco delle scimmie.

La cena è stata buona ma secondo me qualità/prezzo si può fare meglio.

The room was lovely, large and clean but the layout was very strange. Only a sink in the toilet area without soap, you had to walk through the unit to wash your hands at the other sink.

Central location, beautiful balcony view, delicious traditional Japanese cuisine, and relaxing onsen—well done!

Perhaps the shower nozzle could be mounted a little higher on the shower wall.

Courtesy bus pickup for both station and Monkey park. Authentic Japanese experience with included meals (loads of original dishes) and Onsen (private on rooftop) Relaxing

Although authentic, sleeping on the floor with thin futon mattress was not comfortable for me

The set dinner and breakfast was very tasty and excellent value for money, served by friendly and informative staff.

Traditional and elegant. The staff were outstanding. We felt very taken care of!

N/A nothing to dislike.

Futon matjes

Camera stupenda e molto grande con area tatami. Dotata di tutto il necessario. Bella vista dall'albergo, Davvero comodi il pulmino dall'hotel al parco delle scimmie di Jigokudani e da e per la stazione dei treni. Permettono di affittare gli stivali per il parco delle scimmie in caso di necessita'. Staff gentilissimo e disponibile sia alla hall che in sala da pranzo. Bella la onsen con le vasche interne e quella esterna.

La colazione e' tipica giapponese, quindi salata e non tipo continentale, varia. Capisco che ogni hotel ci tenga ai propri costumi, ma aggiungere alla colazione la parte dolce sarebbe gradito. Le pareti sottili delle camere permettono di sentire voci dal corridoio e dalle altre stanze.

食事が美味しかった

部屋の作りが安っぽい

The staff was fantastic and very friendly. Our room had a personal outdoor Onsen with views for the town and mountains which was amazing. The food was very authentic and delightful.

The traditional evening meal served was magnificent

nothing, everything was exactly like described

Good breakfast, and very nice Japanese dinner. We stayed in a Japanese room - if you want more comfortable mattress, choose a western style room. Room was well equipped, with a good shower. The staff are lovely, and very welcoming.

Nothing

The dinner and private onsen were incredible! The free shuttle bus to the monkey park was very convenient.

Lovely staff, traditional feel, amazing food.

Slightly dated. Bathroom needs updating. Toilet in the room was a little smelly.

Great location, friendly and helpful staff. Food excellent. Really useful shuttle buses

Authentic style ryokan Great rooftop private onsen Provided transport to and from station and monkey park but both close enough to walk if wanted Bar setting was stunning

Very sticky regarding meal timings We opted for Japanese banquet both nights but although the food was incredible I felt very rushed given the number of courses We had breakfast but weren’t advised that there is a western option for this Otherwise it was a fantastic experience

Excellent service, beautiful and clean, karaoke bar was a huge bonus that was fun and unique

The most amazing ryokan experience we had! Great stuff always willing to help, amazing breakfast and dinner (we asked no seafood and still got amazing food), and the Onsen is available to everyone incliding people with tattoes! Also, the shuttle to the monkey park is very nice. Highly recommend!

We had a problem with the hot water in the first room we got, so they moved us to a new room, which had a bad smell from the toilet... But we had so much fun that it didn't matter!

The inclusive dining experience was excellent

Very aged rooms in need of maintenance

The staff really really helpful. Make me feel like home

Nothing

Friendly staff, clean facilities. Helpful n friendly staff Stayed 7 nites. half board, meals were good.

Except being close to buses n station n snow monkey, there were not much else.

The room is spacious and comfortable, clean.The meal was great a lot of variety..family enjoy it so much. The reception are so patient with many questions from my end. They even arranged shuttle to snow monkey and station ..very flexible.

The only thing is the private rooftop onsen. We supposae to enjoy private onsen but It was extremely cold. We were not informed and prep , the flow are slippery

早晚餐都好吃 住的很舒服

無

location, onsen's including a privet one in the room, delishious meals. the room big and with lots of amenities. our own kimono. ride to monkey park. parking for our car. staff very helpful and personal.

a bit pricy, difficult to communicate in english, because of it there was a mixup with breakfast. the mattress on the tatami floor a bit hard

The overall location and atmosphere was nice. I enjoyed my stay. The dinner on the second night turned our opinion around.

The rooms are a bit noisy and cramped. Since we traveled with two suitcases it sometimes feels like Tetris. The dinner on the first night was solid but we really enjoyed the second dinner.

The staff are always patient and helpful. During this trip, they also give practical advice (for alternative meal options) for late arrival to the ryokan. The shuttle service to the snow monkey park and then pick-up from the park and direct to train station.

Parking, onsen, staff, food, views…all were great! Ask for a room facing Mt Myoko toward Nagano.

Not as much value as similar stays.

A good location and choice for vocation

bedding, dinner and breakfast

Outstanding staff & great location

The rooftop private onsen really was the most amazing experience I had for my entire trip. The view was extremely beautiful during sunset, and the hot tub with the flowing hot water was extremely relaxing. Best way to experience an onsen for solo travelers.

The room was not the most clean or comfortable. It smelled a little dusty and the wooden furniture was very old. However it still felt like a very authentic Japanese Ryokan experience.

Traditional Ryokan - dinner and breakfasts were exceptional. Close to Snow Monkeys (could be there at open time and beats the queue) and their outdoor was Onsen awesome.

All was excellent

The location of the hotel and staff including the hotel owner couple is excellent. The only little bit disappointed is the food, hope the owner can descride more detail about the dinner option to the western traveller.

Wonderful

The staff were very friendly and accomodating. The shuttle bus was fantastic. The onsen was amazing. The traditional Japanese food was very nice and the portions were large. After a few nights we asked for a western breakfast as the kids struggled with fish for breakfast. Thanks for accomodating that.

It was a bit of a hike to the ski area of Shiga Kogen. The staff did not know much about transportation to all areas of the mountain. Would stay closer to ski resort next time. Lovely hotel though close to snow monkeys

There are free shuttles from the station to the ryokan upon request. Also free shuttles to the snow monkeys that made things more easy

Amazing tradicional experience, the onsen was great and the scenery magical! They even accept tattoos in the onsen which is a major plus. The staff was very helpfull and speak good english. The fact that they have a shuttle to/from the station and monkey park is amazing!

Nothing!

溫泉非常棒，值得一泡在泡的

沒有真的乾燥室能晾雪具，但房間裡的暖氣也足夠強，東西很快都會乾了

Very nice spot, great staff, easy transport to snowmonkey park, just a few min ride from train station (free hotel shuttle), nice traditional room experience, fantastic onsen (did the public and private), fun traditional Japanese dinner, really enjoyed

Wonderful staff, very nice onsen bath, very good food and service in general, free shuttle to the station and Jigokudani park.

Had the private onsen room, it was amazing, the staff made sure the temperature was perfect as I arrived. The food service was generous and delicious.

Not a lot around but not a big deal.

We booked this hotel so we could see the snow monkeys. Their free shuttle service from Yudanaka station to the ryokan and also to the snow monkey park was very helpful. Communication was great and the food -- both breakfast and dinner -- were excellent. Staff were very kind and the public bath facilitiies were nice. I'm glad we booked both meals because over New Year's holiday there were very few options to eat in the town.

Цена , сувенирный магазин

Отель очень старый . Нужен ремонт

Fantastic location in Yamanouchi - the Ryokan provides a shuttle service to the snow monkey park which made our stay very convenient. Breakfast/dinner service was excellent. We loved the private onsen option aswell which you can book ahead of time for a small fee.

Be mindful of space luggage if you book the traditional room. We didn’t want to put our suitcases on the tatami so they were crammed in the doorway.

The Ryokan was amazing. The staff and owner went out of their way to help us organize our train and then a ride to and from the Snow Monkey Park and to and from the Ryokan. We did a private family onsen that was breathtaking. We loved the food and the people and owner made us feel so special. The New Years Lion dance was even more extra cultural experience

We loved everything. We just needed more time there!

I really am pretty tough when I rate experiences but, could not find anything lacking during this stay. The location is great right near the monkey park with free shuttle service both to and from the hotel. The food was amazing we had dinner the night we arrived and breakfast the morning after. We arrived by overnight bus at a little after 6am and nothing nearby was open. The owner of the hotel herself made us coffee, onigiri and oranges.

I cant think of anything that could've been better. We wish we had booked a longer stay. I would want to stay here again even without the monkey park. We wouldn't do an overnight bus there again. There is a train we'd do that next time. .

Amazing property with great hospitality and amazing amenities

Nothing! Absolutely wonderful

The traditional room was great and very quiet, I loved the hotel decoration and the breakfast was gorgeous. We. loved the private Onsen for two on the roof top!

I liked absolutely everything about this hotel.

The onsen was great. The hotel has boots for hire which was great for us. I read another review that the fourth floor was a smoking floor so when I noticed we were on fourth floor I impressed that we wanted non smoking. The staff were very accommodating and we were put on 7th floor. However I believe people were also smoking on our floor.

The room was very small for four people. I think it would be better for two. The hotel was very clean but tired.

Very friendly and accommodating staff. Shuttle pick up from station and to / from the snow monkeys. Clean. Traditional. Private onsen.

The food as we are not Japanese, however it looked like it was prepared with a lot of skill and care. I am sure it’s just because we were not used to this kind of cuisine.

Le personnel aux petits soins, les bains publics Onsen, le style traditionnel du ryokan, la diversité et la qualité des plats traditionnels japonais servis, les transferts assurés depuis et vers la gare et le Snow monkey park

Le manque de capacité de rangement dans la chambre, pas de support pour prendre les serviettes, la mauvaise isolation des fenêtres même si les chambres sont parfaitement chauffées voire de trop.

The traditional experience of staying in a Ryokan

There was a slight odour to the property and room. Nothing that we couldn’t get passed but I was glad to just stay one night

Everything. We enjoyed the hospitality, the accommodation in the traditional room, what it offered and its location. We thoroughly enjoyed the Japanese dinner and breakfast. This made our trip very memorable.

Nothing.

The breakfast and dinner at the hotels are fantastic. Definitely will recommend to include it in your package, especially since it is a bit iffy on the availability of restaurants in the area. (For lunch, you could still try Shibu Onsen or get something from the nearby Lawson. We were only able to find one restaurant that was open at 1 pm and they close at 2 pm so we didn't try to look further) The onsen in the hotel is fantastic. They rotate the male and female daily so you can experience both sides if you are there for at least 2 days. (The one on the right is better in my opinion)

This is not really an issue at all but it may be good for future travelers to know - It is little further to the main street of Shibu Onsen, compared to the other hotels that are in Shibu Onsen itself. The walk is probably around 10-15 mins so it's really a non-issue, depending on the weather.

Booked the suite with own onsen tub. Really nice! The room comes with drinks such as beer and grape juice and small snacks. Dinner was really scrumptious! Offers free shuttle to the monkey park which was great.

The surrounding is a bit boring, nothing much to do.

The room is pretty worn and old. The toilet wasn't very clean and had a smell.

Excellent onsen facilities within the hotel! Very close and convenient to the Yudanaka station (free shuttle service), as well as to the Snow Monkey Park.

Food was excellent, staff were very accommodating to assist with changes

Room was a bit small

Wonderful winter wonderland in early December. Really enjoyed the traditional kaiseki dinners. So close to the snow monkeys..

Nothing

Location, large well run hotel, parking space well managed by valet staff, impressive multi-course Japanese dinner in traditional costume (optional), location great for exploring the mountains, tattoos allowed in public onsens

The local town and neighbouring Shibu Onsen were quieter in the evenings than we expected

Shuttle, onsen, dinner, friendliness of staff

Very nice tatami rooms. The atmosphere was calming. At least half of the other guests were Japanese, which suggests to me that it was an authentic ryokan experience. They had clothing we could wear to meals that added to the environment. The onsen on the roof was a nice added attraction. Transportation to and from both the train station and the monkey park were convenient. Lastly, although it was out of my comfort zone, I appreciated the traditional meals that were served--I don't recall the name, but as a new experience for me, it was wonderful.

The exterior of the building is unattractive, but don't let this deter you. The inside is very nice.

Great staff and quite close to train station (about 2 mins drive)

Facilities and ryokan are showing signs of age.

Wonderful Japanese evening meal and breakfast . Room was large and beds so comfortable. Good location for visiting Shiga Kogen and monkey park. Staff were lovely.

Restaurant lacked atmosphere but a very minor point as we loved the meal so much.

Quite central with a Onsen and transfers to and from the station. Half Board with traditional Japanese food. Lovely helpful staff

Lacked a bit of atmosphere
