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.
Absolutely everything. A wonderful, kind, warm family runs this hotel and despite the severe language barrier, they made sure I had everything I needed to be comfortable. They even gave me a lift to the snow monkey park, right after they served me an incredible Japanese style breakfast in my room! It’s a three minute walk from the train station and the nearest Lawson. If you want a typical Japanese style onsen and hotel, I can’t recommend this place enough!!!
The location was good. The Nagaden express bus stop in Ichinose is right across the street and it is a short walk to the ski lifts (and it’s possible to ski back to the hotel though we did not figure that out). We also rented skis right at the hotel - it was very easy. The quad room we booked had four twin beds and a private bathroom (I think the booking.com description says it’s “shared” but it’s not). The there is also a ski room to store skis and boots.
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 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!!
Cozy hotel, right by the Ichinose Family ski area. The staff is absolutely amazing, 100% focus on making your stay pleasant. We went there for a ski trip and it was really convenient. The public bath is great for after skiing, and both dinner and breakfast buffets were excellent, with many good quality choices.
The staff were so welcoming and catered to our arrival time. The onsen located within the hotel was great and we loved the option of having both a indoor and outdoor onsen. Rooms had everything we needed. We also loved that the hotel provided transportation to and back from the Snow Monkey Park.
It looked great, very japanese style. They provided yukatas to use in the hotel and at town. We had access to the onsen in the hotel, which was beautiful and really confortable, and also acces to the onsens around the town. The staff was great, very friendly and welcoming. The food was amazing.
It’s VERY quiet if you like quiet. It’s a ski-in-ski-out, great for family with kids, or a big group of friends. But keep in mind there is no village. You have to eat dinner at the hotel, unless you have a car. But the owner was super lovely! Would stay there again just because of the owner!
Quaint cosy cottage amongst the fir trees. So pretty and furnished beautifully. Very clean and close to lifts and hotels for alternative eating out. Home cooked meals and 2x terrific private use mineral bath. Had choice of doona or blanket and temp perfect to sleep.
Location is amazing, a few steps from 2 main ski slopes in the area. Nighter available at both. Bus stop almost at the entrance of the hotel. The dinner was superb.
The staff (both Japanese and foreign) did their absolute best to make our stay as good as possible.
Superb location to walk to Jigokudani via the 2.5km road that is closed in the winter. Makes for a stunning short hike. The hostel is situated on the east side of Yamanouchi, right next to the main temple and makes for some lovely walking around that part of town.
The property was quite central to Yamanouchi and was very accessible via the yudanaka train station line from Nagano. By far, the hotels onsen was the BEST part of the hotel. It was comfortable and homely and really added to the atmosphere of a small town.
Great location for seeing the snow monkeys - just walk straight from the hotel. Staff very friendly and we enjoyed a piano and cello concert in the evening. Good dinner and breakfast included. Appreciated the free shuttle to and from the local train.
Reasonable price for such a good location and two private onsens. Old school feel, don't expect modern amenities but everything you could want will be provided like a tv, kettle, and microwave. Short walking distance to all the onsens of Yamanouchi.
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.
Such welcoming staff and the best of ski in/out. Don't expect luxurious surrounds inside but the lovely staff make up for it. Large ( comparatively speaking) rooms and indoor onsen, ski hire in hotel and directly opposite.
Located very close to Yudanaka Station, responsive staff, well heated room, indoor Onsen and sauna included. Inside the hotel there is an Izakaya restaurant on 1st floor
onsen was amazing and so was the authentic Japanese culture. Although not a big fan of Japanese breakfasts the effort the hotel went to at breakfast was outstanding
