Yudanaka Onsen Yamazakiya was an astounding experience for me. The Ryokan is located in a pictureske street with many small shops and restaurants. The rooms are great, featuring a super nice kotatsu, a futon, a bed and a separate room for enjoying the view and making/drinking tea. The room also has a refrigerator which is great. Also, Akira-san can heat your Conbini food in a microwave if you ask him. The two onsen facilities the ryokan features are both great, being private and having the option to adjust water temperature by adding cool water. Lastly, there is a free drinking water station in the lobby. If you are planning on visiting the Jigokudani Yaen Koen Snow Monkey Park, this ryokan is a great option since Akira (or his mother) will gladly take you right to the entrance of the park, with no additional fee within ten minutes. Which brings me to my favourite part of this ryokan: Akira, his mother and all of the lovely staff. Akira-san speaks really good English so check-in and basic questions about onsen, food, attractions and anything else are no problem at all. For more complicated stuff he will just use a translator app. If every person in the world would be a just a little bit more like Akira-san, we would live in a better world. He constantly made me feel at home and taken care of, which I really appreciated since I kinda had a hard time mental-wise while being there. Akira-san even drove me to the station at the day I had to leave and made sure I have everything I needed. Great humans, great ryokan, great rooms, great onsen, great location, great stay. Would come again for sure if I ever were to visit Yamanouchi again. - ヤニク

The private onsen was very pleasant and allowed couples to bath together unlike the public baths. The location was very convenient for access to the public onsen also with numbers 1 and 2 only 100 meters or so away. The Japanese breakfast and dinner included with the room was excellent with very attentive and personal service.

Excellent customer service where staff are attentive to your needs at all time. Even offered a new set of yukata when they noticed ours were slightly wet due to slight rain. Onsen was clean, well maintained and not crowded.

The room with the private onsen is really cool, although the hotel has more than enough onsens. The experience was amazing, taking us through the culture with in-depth explanations.

Mr Yumoto was an amazing host, extremely helpful and nice! He even took us to the entrance of the Snow Monkey park which, believe me, when the slope is icy the walk from the bus stop is really hard. The baths are amazing as well and its location 4 min away from the shiga kogen bus and 15 min away from yudanaka train station make it an amazing spot!
