While Yamanouchi is known for its proximity to snow monkeys, it wasn't what stood out to me about the area. The snow monkeys just have too many tourists to be truly enjoyable. Yamanouchi has beautiful mountain views, charming winding streets with quirky decorations, and onsen hopping among different ryokans is something to look forward to. If you look behind the main street, you'll see many stairways leading to many shrines. We had dinner at a sushi restaurant ran by an elderly couple, on traditional tatami floors. It felt like eating at someone's house, and they absolutely stuffed us with delicious sushi. Two nights would probably be the best to fully wind down.

Amazing amount of terrain in the ski fields.
Amazing amount of terrain in the ski fields. Need to have better maps (in English) available for the runs. A (live) board showing which lifts and runs are open would be great, prior to entering the areas.
The snow was amazing!!!!
Restaurants were good however the area appeared to be directed at locals (Japanese) rather than tourists. We had to do a lot of work to find somewhere to eat.
It would be great to have some public onsens available in the area.

Our stay at a ryokan just couple miles from Snow Monkey Park...
Our stay at a ryokan just couple miles from Snow Monkey Park was the absolute highlight of a trip filled with highlights. Specifically we stayed at Onyado Hishiya Torazo, and loved everything about it - the room, the food, the staff, and the oh so relaxing onsen! We made the mistake of only booking one night and the short turn around combined with outside temps down in the low 20’s (F) meant we never did try any of the public onsen. Trust me - two days here is the minimum!
Snow Monkey Park ended up being another highlight (and between my wife and I, we have about 1,000 pictures to prove it!). Before going we were concerned that it might seem contrived at best and a bad situation for the monkeys at worst. But they were absolutely there of their own free will and happily making use of the large onsen on a cold winter’s day. Get there early - we got there about an hour after opening and wished we’d been an hour earlier. It started to fill up about 20 minutes after we got there.
Here’s the weird thing, and the only downside - and I don’t quite know how to explain it. The town was basically closed! And we were there Jan 26-27, a decent snow had fallen a couple days earlier and a light snow fell the morning of the 27th. I thought this would be big tourist season, but we barely saw another sole in town. And those few we did see were almost all tourists out taking pictures in their yukata. This made for a very quiet morning, which was great. But we had planned to pick up our luggage at the ryokan after visiting the monkey park and meander through town stopping to eat, drink, or shop as we made our way to the train station. But nothing was open so we caught an earlier train and ate in Nagano while waiting for our Shinkansen.

The Ryokan Biyunoyado was just fabulous.
The Ryokan Biyunoyado was just fabulous. They have shuttle bus to and from station. also to the snow monkeys.We were late and they returned to station to collect us. Onsens were great. The food was amazing and plenty of it. Japanese style room was very comfortable and beds made up when we were at dinner. Definitely stay here when you come to see the snow monkeys. it’s the best.

Its a great spot for visiting the snow monkeys and a quick snow board at Ryuoo Ski Resort. A walk through the older Shibu Onsen town is also fun for people who like that. We went to three different restaurants in the town and they were all good.
The negatives were that the roads and paths were slippery with ice, so bring appropriate footware if visiting in winter (although your hotel might have some).
Almost all places were cash only.

We went primarily to ski.
We went primarily to ski. We had one day of bad weather, so visited the Monkey Park that day - definitely worth doing! We had three days skiing at Ryuoo and one at Komase. We attempted to get to one of the Shiga Kogan ski parks for one day but could not get the public transport schedules to align well enough.
Love the set up of the room with the sitting area and table. The boiling water for tea was lovely. The heater was nice enough and very necessary. The private onsen with door that locks was very nice for my partner and I- tattoo friendly. The onsen town is so lovely! We walked down to shibu onsen for supper, it’s about a 15 minute walk. Less than 10 minute walk from the station, which is where you can catch the bus for a short ride to snow monkey park. The hosts are very friendly! The breakfast was very yummy with many options.
the hotel facilities and meals are great. the station pick up is important. if you arrive before 13:00, remember to access the taxi arrangement center in front of the train station. hotel can not pick you up or answer the phone before 13:00. Remember this is japanese ryokan in countryside, not hotel in city. so do not expect very quick message response or 24hr reception. contact to arrange your arrival a few days before.
meals are really tasty and the hot spring is good. hosts can speak fluent English and are very helpful.
Everything was perfect! The room was wonderful and it was so fun staying at a traditional Japanese hotel. I loved picking out my Yukata. Undoubtedly, the best part was the private onsen on my balcony. It was pure heaven. Second best was the amazing and traditional food. This hotel was a wonderful highlight to my trip. Everyone was kind and helpful. This hotel could not have been b better
Staff were so lovely and accommodating. We had a lot of questions which they didn't mind answering and used a translator on their phone as did we. When checking in to our room we were given tea and a welcome treat and the staff member explained the hotel facilities to us and how to wear the Yukata which can be worn around the town if you want to use the onsens
The Staff at Shibu Hotel were wonderfully attentive & helpful during our stay. We booked the kaiseki dinner & breakfast which were both delicious! The town & property are lovely & we enjoyed walking around & relaxing in the different onsen. We also booked the private open air onsen which is new and absolutely gorgeous. We truly enjoyed our stay here!!
We had a wonderful stay at Hotel Housei with super friendly and funny hosts, the most delicious food and a room with a private onsen, all kept traditional which was a great experience for us. Also free Shuttle Service from and to Yudanaka Station/Snow Monkey Park.
This stay will be a lasting memory.
We hope we can come again some day.
Arigato.
Onsen! Breakfast!! Room with tatami mats and hot water for making tea!!! Area is beautiful and interesting. Breakfast in Omodaka Hotel and in restaurants around town is traditional Japanese food. Shuttle bus from hotel to parking lot of the Snow Monkey Park and to the railway station was provided timely. Everybody very nice and helpful.
The ryokan was bit old but was spacious and neat. The indoor and outdoor onsen were great! At the perfect temperature, was really pleasant to soak after a cold day.
The bus station is only 3min walk away and there is also a bus stop right next to the hotel where the bus that takes you to the Snow Monkey Park stops.
Onsen was amazing- there was both an outdoor and private option (private for a fee). Staff was soooo attentive and kind, the details were immaculately thought out and executed. Ideal location to get to from the station, and get to the monkey park- hotel shuttle was great. Tea station and little fridge were amazing!!
Attentiveness of staff , everyone spoke and understood English and the hotel was beautiful. The rooms were gorgeous and the onsen is comfortable: if anyone worries about the yukata not fitting them don’t. We are American XL and they fit us fine
The owner is really nice. He picked us up to the hotel and back to the train station on check in/out days. Moreover, he drove us to the snow monkey park. The hotel has the onsen key that allows you to experience the 9 local onsen for free!!
Fantastic location with ski lift across the road. Had it's own rental shop that offered a discount to hotel guests. Nice public bathing area - pity about the times the bath was tepid rather than hot. Has a coin operated laundry.
Great hotel, closest to the entrance of the 1.8km walk to the monkeys.
Staff were great. All very helpful.
Shuttle bus service efficient.
Onsen nice both indoor & outdoor options.
Good WiFi.
Japanese breakfast amazing.
It was a beautiful little ryokan in a quiet town. There was a hot spring at the hotel, so having a private dip was awesome! The breakfast was very traditional, with pickled vegetables and fish and seafood miso soup.
Their services are awesome. the breakfast the array of choices is dazzling. staying in hotel housei make me feel the authentic Japanese culture, heart warm services and good food.
Ski in, ski out was great. Delicious and many options for breakfast. Amenities in hotel room were great. Received great assistance from staff to transport our luggages via yamato.
Traditional Japanese style hotel, great experience.
Tasty breakfast, many options to choose from. Super close to ski lift, literally 2 minute walk. Hotel has Public baths.
The hotel is closed to Yuudanaka station on the Nagano Dentetsu line. Very modern style with Japanese design and amazing meals. The open air bath is wonderful.
