20 Ryokan in Japan

A trip to experience hot springs and natural activities is recommended in the town of hot springs with a 1,350-year history (Snow Monkey Town). Yudanaka Onsen, where our inn is located, is famous as one of Japan's oldest hot spring resorts.In this hot spring town, enjoy 100% natural hot spring baths and a traditional Japanese-style banquet cuisine dinner.Among the highlights are banquet dishes featuring Shinshu Premium Wagyu beef and activities like picking mushrooms from original logs, making the dinner experience enjoyable. Additionally, our inn offers a rooftop private open-air bath, making it suitable for families and couples. For activities, a 30-minute trip from the hotel takes you to Shiga Kogen, a UNESCO Eco Park mountain resort, where you can enjoy hiking and stand-up paddleboarding in summer and explore 18 ski resorts over multiple days in winter.If you want to fully enjoy skiing, we recommend staying for several days instead of just one. For Snow Monkey Park, the main tourist attraction for international guests, we recommend using the hotel's shuttle bus! You can make use of the free shuttle service, which operates several times a day, to make the most of your time. After about a 30-minute walk from the parking lot to the park, you'll arrive at the hot spring paradise of monkeys!You can observe free-roaming monkeys in their natural state without any barriers.

They have two large bathhouses, one a sulfur spring without hydrogen sulfide, the other a Helston mineral bath. At 20:00 they switch the bathhouses for men and for women, so you can enjoy both on the same day. The large open-air baths are open alternately for men and for women. They also have an open-air bath which can be reserved for private bathing.
