Andaikan

El alojamiento es amplio, futones un poco incómodos y el agua del riokan estaba a 42 grados. No nos pudimos bañar así que fue un poco decepcionante ya que en parte fuimos por eso. Tampoco pudimos ir a los públicos porque el hotel no entra. Cogimos la cena y fue bastante abundante. Comimos uno de los mejores sashimi de nuestro viaje pero es verdad que la mayoría de las cosas no nos gustaron mucho así que no la recomendaría porque también sale un poco cara

La temperatura del agua no pertenecer al sistema público y la cena

食事が地元の旬の食材を使うなどして、とても美味しかった。

アサヒスーパードライ以外のビールも置いて欲しかった。

Tout était parfait. C'était vraiment un moment hors du temps. L'accueil était simple et chaleureux. La chambre spacieuse et traditionnel, ce qui était vraiment ce que l'on recherchait en venant ici et les repas était délicieux, cuisinés avec amour et tellement savoureux. J'aurais aimé resté plus longtemps. La dame qui tient le lieu est vraiment une belle personne et je n'oublierais jamais cette étape de notre voyage grâce à elle.

Very kind grandma taking care of you, serving food, making coffee and taking you to the train station. Dinner is amazing. Bamboo from high mountain and steak from cow that was fed by apple! Onsen is clean.

Ich habe mich sehr wohl gefühlt. Es war ein sehr schöner Aufenthalt in einem traditionellen japanischen Gästehaus mit Onsen - mit fantastischem Essen! Die Hausherrin hat sich sehr zuvorkommend um mich gekümmert (inkl. Erklärungen zum Essen, die für mich als nicht so vertraute Person mit japanischem Essen toll waren) und mich am nächsten Morgen auch zum Monkey Park gefahren, ich hätte auch beim Gepäck während meines Ausflugs im Haus lassen dürfen.

Very friendly staff who are most welcoming.

The host is really friendly! The onsen is nice! Room is very traditional. Food is superb.

Bellissime camere molto ampie, posto molto curato e pulito

ご飯が地元の食材をふんだんに使ったもので，とてもおいしかったです。 女将さんもとても親切で，朝，車でモンキーパークまで送ってくださいました。 温泉も良かったです。 昭和に戻ったようなつかしいお宿でした。

Amazing service: even though the staff did not speak much English, they went out of their way to make us feel welcome and comfortable. The food was incredible, too.

There was nothing I didn’t like.,

매우 친절하신 주인 할머니와 정성스러운 식사가 좋았습니다. 체크인 시간보다 조금 일찍 도착했는데, snow monkey park까지 차로 데려다 주시고, 다음날 돌아가는 기차역까지도 데려다 주셔서 편하게 이동할 수 있었습니다.

저녁 식사는 매우 정성스러웠는데, 저희 입맛에는 살짝 안 맞았습니다. 숙소에 묵으면, 시부온천 9개를 투어할 수 있는줄 알았는데, 이 숙소는 거기에 해당하지 않는다고 해서 아쉬웠습니다.

This family run hotel was great. Despite the building being historically old, the facilities and my room were very clean and stocked with all the essentials. My room was very comfortable as well. The staff was what made my stay amazing though; they were extremely kind and did their best to make me feel welcome. A bonus is that they can also speak some English! The breakfast and dinner were amazing. Everything was cooked well and tasted delicious!

Wonderful experience, the land lady picked us up with no notice from Yudanaka station within 10 minutes of our arrival (notice reccomended, as taxis and buses are not frequent). The meals were outstanding and very personable. We stayed here with our 6mo, very family friendly. She even let us have a private bath at one of the two onsens within the ryokan. Also provided transportation to the snow monkey park!

I didn't realize you do not have access to the main baths within Shibu Onsen, but was a non issue for us, as it was convenient to go to the two available within the ryokan while one of us stayed back with the baby.

Host, meals, location, onsen

The ryokan host is lovely. She is so helpful and speaks reasonably good English. The room is quite comfortable and two lovely onsens in the property with access to two other public ones outside the property. Food was amazing! Host arranged drop off at station post stay. If you enjoy manga, they have over 4000!

Make sure you have cash to pay the city taxes. No ability to pay with cards or IC.

服务很好，食物很美味，位置也很不错

可能是年代的原因，建筑有些老旧设施也有一些老旧不过都很干净

The hosts were exceptional and gave us such an amazing experience.

Это очаровательный традиционный дом с милой хозяйкой дома, которая всегда готова помочь. Цена соответствует качеству. Это очень простой дом, но со всеми удобствами. Дом не входит в территорию 9 онсенов, но в доме есть два собственных онсена, а также публичный онсен в соседнем здании. Также с утра подавали традиционный японский завтрак, очень сытный и вкусный. Хозяйка также любезно отвезла нас к парку снежных обезьян. Мы очень благодарны.

Будьте готовы к тому, что слышимость в доме очень хорошая. Наш сосед этажом выше очень громко топал и разговаривал в 3 часа ночи, что мешало спать.

Staff were incredibly friendly and went consistently above and beyond.

wonderful cultural experience, to get the best experience embrace and respect the culture of this onsen. location was lovely in a traditional setting. Breakfast is a great experience and have open minded children to try the delicacies here.

our room was lovely and spacious but we got a smell of sulphur accumulating overnight from natural sources. Would be best to leave the room open at night.

Lovely location, just a few minutes walking from all the sights of the surrounding area. Super cozy, very homey feeling. The dinner and breakfast were some of the most delicious food I’ve had in Japan, and I’d rate the hospitality 12 out of 10 if I could. The proprietor gave me a ride up to the snow monkey park as well, which was a lifesaver due to the heavy snow. The onsen facilities were simple but well equipped, and I felt extremely relaxed during my stay. Incredible value for money.

Everything was perfect.

Great service, location, facilities, comfort

Unfortunately no access to historic 9 onsens through this location

Personale cortese, con la stanchezza ho dimenticato ill trolley sul bus e la proprietaria l, una signora super gentile e sorridente mi ha aiutato mettendosi subito a disposizione chiamando la stazione degli autobus e per accompagnarmi a riprenderlo. La cena è stata servita in camera. Una cena con moltissime pietanze tipiche giapponesi buonissime!!! Anche la colazione è stata molto abbondante e con ingredienti di prima qualità il tutto sì è svolto con l'abito tipico giapponese, lo yukata. La camera era spaziosa e con tutte le comodità. I bagni termali a disposizione erano due e tutti e due puliti e carini. Al check out la proprietaria si è offerta di accompagnarmi allo snow monkey village dandomi tutte le informazioni di cui avessi bisogno. Consiglio vivamente questo ryokan.

Muy grande y limpio y Un trato espectacular, muy muy muy atentos y serviciales. Volvería sin dudarlo. Un 10/10

Todo perfecto

FANTASTIC! Look no further. The place is authentic and boutique Japanese and the lady who runs it is so generous and wonderful. So authentic and boutique compared the major ryokens up the street you would need to pay 3x for. Helpful tips: Andai Onsen is your bus stop for this. The owner kindly offered to drive us to the Snow Monkeys AND to the train station when we left. Saying thank you in Japanese and being appreciative goes a long way. Note this place does not have keys to the 8 town onsens, but the onsens it does have are amazing and I think the 8 onsen pilgrimage is overrated. Do you really want to just check off onsens with other tourists when you can be in a nice one alone or with just your family?

Nothing.

食事が品数が多く和洋折衷で美味しかった。i

玄関・ロビーが冷房なく暑かった。

The host is exceptional.

Friendly owner. She gave us a lift to the park and to the train station. Hot spring bath inside hotel and traditional Japanese breakfast were excelent

The host was amazing and her cooking was exceptional. Really enjoyed her Japanese explanations of breakfast items, how to use onsen, robes etc

-

The staff were kind and thoughtful.

Perfect location

We stayed overnight as a group and felt very comfortable. We can recommend this hotel to everyone! The hosts were very friendly and accommodating. They picked us up from the train station and took us back there when we left. Breakfast and dinner were included in the stay. The food was excellent. Local, fresh dishes were served. The hotel is family-run and the son of the family is a trained chef. His dishes were delicious, and you could taste his years of cooking experience. The onsen seemed newly renovated and was very relaxing. Thank you for this wonderful stay! It was a highlight of our trip to Japan.

The staff were so nice and accommodating. Dinner and breakfast were amazing!

A little far from Yudanaka station if that's where you're coming in from.

Camera, colazione, onsen

Wonderful family run Ryokan. The onsen was amazing and was a perfect size!

Amazing Japanese experience. The host is very helpful and kind. The place is just what we needed, cozy and homey. The onsen were great and we got to experience the Yuzu bath at the winter solstice.

La dame qui tient le ryokan est adorable, aux petits soins, très professionnelle et attentionnée

Rien, tout était parfait

Words cannot say now much we enjoyed staying at the Andaijan. The staff were just fantastic. The food was served in a different room each day which was fantastic and the different types of Japanese of food each meal was great. The lady owner drove us to the Monkey Park and to the train station. We would stay again. The Spar in the hotel was so warm and relaxing.

Nothing

Utmärkt lagad mat av värdinnan och mycket välkomnande.

Enkel madrass att sova på, men vill man bo traditionellt så är det också vad man får räkna med. Jag sov utmärkt ändå.

J’ai adoré l’ambiance, la dame qui s’occupe du Ryokan était juste adorable. On se sentait comme à la maison :) La chambre est immense, tout est propre. Les 2 onsens à notre disposition ne sont pas de refus après une journée dans le froid ! J’ai pris le petit déjeuner et le dîner, c’était délicieux. J’ai découvert de nouvelles saveurs, une façon de cuisiner que je ne connaissais pas et c’était magique.

J’ai tout ADORÉ

Hosts were incredible! The place is very beautiful and very clean. It's a unique building and it was fun just navigating around. The effort put into making us feel welcome and appreciated did not go unnoticed! Everything felt well explained despite the language barrier. They had a nice packet of information to go by as well. Any real fears I had about navigating the cultural and language differences vanished quickly as I realized how much it felt like a home away from home. They were personally interested in us and went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed!

Absolutely stunning place with a very kind and helpful host. The rooms had a traditional Japanese layout, the food was like from a movie (or anime), we got complimentary yukata, and the onsen were amazing. (There are two in the hotel which swap between genders after dinner and breakfast.) I can really recommend this place!

For those coming to try the 9 shibu baths, this hotel does not have access to them as it is not technically in the old town area. It does have access to two other bathhouses. But this is not important unless you really care about those onsen. (You can still get the stamps, and use the free footbaths).

Ein sehr nettes kleines Gästehaus, das von einer älteren japanischen Frau geführt wird. Trotz der Sprachbarrerie war eine Kommunikation gut möglich und man hat sich sofort wohl gefühlt. Das Zimmer war sehr groß und gemütlich. Die verglaste Loggia hat zum Entspannen nach dem Onsen eingeladen. Es gibt zwei Onsen, die abwechselnd für Männer oder Frauen sind, sodass man während des Aufenthalts beide genießen kann. Das Essen war sehr gut und ausreichend. Sowohl beim Abendessen als auch beim Frühstück gab es immer eine Erklärung der Gastgeberin was in den Gerichten enthalten ist. Am letzten Tag hat uns die Gastgeberin sogar noch zum Bahnhof gebracht. Alles in allem ein sehr schöner und entspannter Aufenthalt.

Alles Bestens

This was our favourite night in Japan so far. A really comfortable room, so nice to go to the onsen after arriving, and an absolutely delicious dinner. The staff were also wonderful and very accommodating. We would absolutely stay here again and recommend to friends.

Die Atmosphäre in diesem traditionellen Ryokan hat mir sehr gut gefallen. Es gibt schöne Onsen und das wundervolle und reichhaltige Abendessen wird auf dem Zimmer serviert. Auch die Lage ist schön im Dorf, die Straße davor wird abends zur Fußgängerzone, auf der man schön herumspazieren kann. Sehr zu empfehlen!

Alles super

Ontvangst en vriendelijkheid, de Japanse sfeer van het hotel en de kamer. Je waant jezelf even een echte Japanner.

Niks, alles was uitstekend.

An authentic onsen experience in a traditional Ryokan. Both traditional dinner and breakfast were awesome. The old owner was super helpful and can speak a decent English. She drove me to the monkey park and back to the train station.. The onsen was small but functional and relaxing. The village is traditional and really beautiful. It is worth to make s tour around the riokan.

- there is not an open-bath but only two indoor onsen - although positioned at the border within Shibu onsen and Andai onsen, Andaikan is associated to Andai onsen, therefore no key to access to the 9 public baths of Shibu onsen

The owner was kind & generous. She gave us two packets of crackers for our trip to Hakuba. She welcome us with hot yummy food though we were half an hour late for check in.

I can’t unlock the door through the gap between the woods.

Host is very friendly. Food is good. She explained to us patiently. Price is very reasonable.

None

This was the best ryokan we have ever stayed at. The host was so nice and the food was AMAZING! The room was huge and very authentic. Lovely timber finishes and fantastic onsen!

Nothing at all

The host was amazing and it was the most traditional Japanese place that we stayed In 2 weeks

First time I was hosted in traditional Japanese ryokan with traditional food .And it was amazing ,food was so delicious and variety ,kimano was so soft and comfortable .My room has private washroom .Onsen was great with good hot temperature helps me relax my back .Staff was very polite and helpful .I liked everything about my stay .

Lovely traditional Japanese aesthetic. Large room. Friendly staff. Breakfast was delicious and the owner wrapped up left overs for me.

Was charged extra Y1900 and still not sure why but didn't want to argue with owner.

The lady staff at the place was very attentive and super sweet, always apologising for her English. The rooms are just what you would expect of Japanese rooms. My only small little complaint is the bathrooms are cold. The main room is all good. I booked half board and the kaiseki meal was worth the experience. Just be prepared to sit on the floor for the entire meal.

We loved everything about Andaikan, it was our favorite stay in Japan. The facilities are gorgeous, the food was incredible, the host is so lovely and accommodating. An amazing stay!

This is a family run ryokan (I should be correct). Staff are very friendly and hospitable. Host is very motherly and able to speak adequate English. Information about the onsen, meals etc were explained clearly. Host drove another guest and myself to the Snow Monkey Park. The property is about 2 km from Yudanaka Train Station. Walking here is fine but not during winter. I had to drag my 27" luggage through certain section with snow. Probably better to take the bus from Yudanaka Station to the bus stop before the stop at Shibu Onsen. If not just stop at Shibu onsen and walk in the reverse direction. Either way, it's just a short walk. I arrived slightly after 2 pm and host allowed me to check-in. This is the only second property that allowed me to check-in before the stipulated time. My room is cosy, homey and comes with an attached toilet. Very comfortable tatami to sleep on. Onsen is great. Wifi connection is good. Sufficient power outlet to charge devices. Breakfast and dinner were great. Worth paying for the half board. Experience is very positive.

Very nice and cosy homestay. You actually stay with the family and they are so nice and helpful. Great location for visiting the snow monkeys and onsen (key not included). We also went skiing for one day. Ski trip is doable (45 min bus trip) but would recommend an additional stay at a place in the ski area. The place is very traditional which we liked very much. The lady is the sweetest person.

The ryokan was recently rennovated so had all the modern amenities (toilets, many powerful heaters etc) while still keeping the tradition charm. 2 internal onsens meant it was convenient to go for a soak any time. The inn owner was super helpful and patient despite some language difficulties. The inn itself is located 3 mins walk from the bus stop so getting to and fro wasn't a challenge. The inn owner also gave us a lift to the snow monkey park and to the train station. Would love to return.

Nothing.

Great

Good food, location, facilities, Onsen & friendly host.

None

I greatly appreciated the hosts' service and care with the dinner. She helped me understand each of the food and was very attentive in making sure that my needs were met. I appreciated the yukata - haven't felt as pretty since!

N/A

Sweet staff, warm welcoming, comfortable room, enjoyable atmosphere and onsen. They even had my name written on a board on my check in day!!!

Everything was perfect!

Great location and easy access by bus. The owner drove us to Monkey park and the train station. Great breakfast.

No

Lovely hostess! She even drove us to the station. The breakfast was delicious and abundant. The onsen very nice and the room spotless. Had a rustic charm to everything. Highly recommend!

Nothing

We had a great time, the staff was very kind and helpful, we enjoyed the onsen and dinner was amazing! It was a great opportunity for us to experience more Japanese style accommodation.

This was an incredible experience! The building and room was decorated beautifully, the futons were very comfortable and we really enjoyed the onsen. The breakfast was delicious (best miso soup!) and the host was super lovely! She was super kind to help plan our travels to the snow monkey park and Yudanaka station and even offered us a ride (extremely grateful)! She also recommended dinner options as we arrived late to check-in. The stay felt wholesome and caring - many small details that words cannot convey.

-

Excellent host who was so helpful, provided the most wonderful evening meal, gave us a lift to the monkey park and the station and made really good recommendations. We really enjoyed our stay.

My host was the kindest, most helpful person I met. The room was beautiful and historic, and the amenities were amazing. The onsen was clean and enjoyable. The breakfast was fantastic and very tasty. I loved this place and will revisit again.

i loved everything

I was able to stay here 5 years ago, and coming back was one of the main reasons behind my return trip to Japan. The building has an amazing traditional feel to it, the meals are both delicious and plentiful, and above all, the hostess kindness really makes you feel at home. They have two indoor onsens that rotate through the day between men and women, and the facilities have been renovated (I loved the new wood panels in one of the baths). A great experience that I will definetly try to repeat one day :)

Nothing.

Very kind host. She gave us a lift to the monkey park and another to the train station at the end of the stay. She Also let us know when the onsen would be free for us to use privately as a family to give our preschool son a wash! It’s nice that the 2 baths swop between male and female for half of each day, so that clients can experience both. Breakfast also a very tasty and generous set.

It’s a shame that they don’t have the key to the 9 onsen huts. However this was very clear in the advertising and their own 2 baths are nice.

The hostess was very nice and picked us up at yudanaka station and dropped us at the snow monkey trail to save time. Dinner and breakfast were specially prepared and delicious, with rare horse 🐎 meat sashimi.

The onsen could be made adjustable for lower temperatures for visitors if possible. Be prepared to climb stairs.

The breakfasts and dinners were outstanding, varied and ample. Oiishi in Japanese - tasty! The neighborhood in Shibu Onsen was very charming, quiet and safe. The two onsen (hot tubs) in our building were terrific. Parking in free lot less than a half block away for our rental car was also very convenient. The location, close to the snow monkeys in their own hot tub, couldn't be better. Hot lattes from the expresso machine in the lobby was very much appreciated, especially for early risers like me.

The staff person was very hospitable and helpful. The included breakfast and add on dinner (definitely recommend) were very high quality and made the rate an exceptional deal. Room size was very large.

The onsen water was scalding hot so we were not able to use it. It is an older building so don’t expect everything to look pristine (but it is clean)

The room was large and spacious, very clean, and futons so comfortable to sleep on. Room was very warm as temperatures were freezing outside! The onsen was lovely and relaxing. Was in a great position to visit the monkey park and the lady that runs it was wonderful, and food was delicious.

The only thing I didn’t like was I had to leave!

The ryokan was beautiful - set in a very old and interesting building with 2 baths and surrounded by many public baths. The owner was very kind to us and prepared us absolutely beautiful meals. Our room was large and cosy with plenty of space to spread out. Would highly recommend staying at this property.

Nothing - everything was perfect
