Hotels with pool in Yamanouchi

Great hotel, delicious food, professional and very helpful stuff, great facilities (onsen, pool, sauna, cold bath) and TOP location - ski in/out. We stayed here for 5 nights and will definitely return

amazing place to stay for winter, great skiing and snowboarding rental area and great slope, the hotel restaurants are super nice, on the expensive end but worth it! recommend the Japanese restaurant! the hosts are nice and the rooms are very comfortable

the swiss/alpine theme has been applied thoroughly, with high quality and love to detail: many paintings come from davos/klosters and the building itself provides a charming atmosphere and feels like being teleported to an alpine chalet

There is no business or convenience store here. It is recommended to book a plan that includes breakfast and dinner, which is very cost-effective. There are 2 restaurants, one Italian and one Japanese, as well as Chinese

In the middle, I passed the mountain station where there was a cable car for sightseeing. As I walked further, I saw some dilapidated hotels. I was very worried, but when I reached the end, I could see the hotel

It was in good business condition. I booked a top-floor room with an area of ​​42 square meters. It was sunny and had a mountain view. The room pictures had not been updated, but it had actually been renovated

The closest thing to a criticism I have is that the bath water is quite hot; I recommend a cool bucket shower before getting in, and maybe a couple of cold ones later

The hotel room was much bigger than expected. The service was excellent and the Japanese breakfast was most tasty

Being so close to the Snow Monkey Park also helped a lot - after spending the day in the cold, it was nice to return to the hotel and warm up

The facilities are a bit dated, but considering I've stayed here multiple times across two generations, it maintains a certain standard. Plus, there's a fantastic indoor heated pool. I've stayed here twice already

A beautiful ryokan that offers a respite from the crowds at the monkey pool. The service was flawless, the food was amazing and the onsen a highlight for my partner

Everything about our stay was perfect. The place was very clean and well maintained, and the location was ideal for visiting the Snow Monkey Park. The staff were incredibly kind and welcoming, always ready to help

The room was very large and comfortable. What made the place great was the ping pong table, mini pool table. Once you understand the onsen process it is pretty easy. Note: restaurant is by reservation only

The room was very comfortable for a family with a small child! There's a private hot spring for families available by reservation, though the usage time is a bit short, it's still great overall! The food is high-quality, delicious, and varied

It's also possible to extend your stay for 1000 yen per hour, which is super convenient when traveling with a child. The hotel corridors aren't perfectly clean due to age, but the room itself is clean and pleasant

We really enjoyed the ryokan; we stayed for one night. The dinner buffet was particularly great, with crabs, fish, hot pot, beer, and sake. Breakfast was also quite good

There's an onsen, and we booked a 30-minute slot and went right away. I didn't get a chance to visit the public baths

Dinner snow crab dinner is worth the price. Also cash only needed do the hotel tax due at arrival

Spend the w/e’s in Tokyo and on Sunday afternoon or Monday morning take a bullet train to one of the 100 to 200 ski resorts by bullet train 2 hours outside Tokyo and you will have the place to ourselves

For instance: First, There is a ski mat in the beginners area but they never turned it on! After watching my novice partner spend 45 minutes of the first hour trudging up a gently slope with her ski instructor to learn how to do “pizza skis” down I asked why it wasn’t working

Every time we dealt with the Reception Desk they always worked hard to understand our needs, and especially Yoshi – san who with a smile always provided valuable friendly advice as he went above and beyond the call of duty

So we spent 5 days in this hotel & loved it. We enjoyed an empty hotel, zero queues, excellent snow. 90 minutes by bullet train from Tokyo and then 90 minutes by bus. The hotel is truly ski in & sort of ski out

I found the ski rentals good enough for an advanced skier. Pleasingly the hotel provides good ski lockers so of a morning it’s easy to gear up & ski out to get on a lift. I have no complaints about the hotel

Thirdly, exited every ski lift gave you a short down hill run into a basin and then you had to trudge uphill to ski away. Seriously, who designs a ski lift exit to create congestion at the exit

When a taxi booking to Shiga Kogen fell through due to heavy snow, the owner personally drove me there, which I deeply appreciated. He also printed out the bus schedule and made sure I knew exactly how to get back

Awesome location for visiting Jigokudani Park (snow monkeys in hot springs) but otherwise isolated. The room was very spacious, especially considering i was a solo traveler

That level of care really stood out. The ryokan is conveniently located near the Snow Monkey Park, making it easy to visit early in the morning before the crowds arrive

I'd been to other food forward ryokans elsewhere before and while they were fancier, the food at Jinpyokaku Honten was better or maybe just more suited to my tastes

Finally, while this is close to shibu onsen, it is not part of it and shibu onsen is about a 30 min walk away and you don't have access to the public baths there (to do the 9 bath crawl)

My husband and I stayed here 4 nights for our honeymoon, and we are so glad we did. The stay includes a private kaiseki dining experience for breakfast and dinner

All guests get to reserve 30 minutes of private use each evening, which was wonderful, but you can also go back during men's time, women's time, or mixed if you want to enjoy some more

Tawaraya is a very nice Ryokan and Onsen in the small town of Yudanaka. While not very distinctive from the outside, the interior is very quaint

The rooms are traditional Japanese tatami rooms with futons and low tables, and ours had a private western-style toilet attached (with all the Japanese gadgets that are the norm!)

There are both a male and female only indoor onsen where you can shower and bathe from 1600 - 0900 daily. In addition there is a beautiful outdoor onsen surrounded by rocks and a Japanese garden

The temperature of the onsen is perfect. Hot enough to be comfortable, but not too hot so you can't stay in! There are also slightly cooler sections of the pool or areas to sit partly out of the water if desired

Like most onsens, any form of clothing/bathing suit/large towel is not allowed. Yukata, tabi socks and towels for before/after the onsen are provided, as well as a small one to bring into the onsen

The onsen was extremely hot and had an absolutely gorgeous view. The older couple that runs it were incredibly kind and hospitable to me, including a shuttle to the Monkeg Park and Yamanaka Station free of charge

It was brilliant! It is the same with pictures on this site. They gave me yukata and towel and changed it every day. I had a tea and enjoyed it on my balcony. I tried a futon at first time in my life

I was later than their last check in and they accommodated me and even made a multi course traditional Japanese meal at 9pm, the food for breakfast and dinner was delicious

Rooms were clean, towels and japanese robes replaced each day. The onsens were clean, the outdoor one was usually empty, just for me

Great blend of modern amenities with traditional ryoken hotel. Beautiful surroundings and atmosphere, specially during winter. Just wish there was more hooks to hang the towels. Overall great stay and highly recommend

Great onsen and dinner The room shows some age but it’s comfortable. The public onsen is very good with an indoor pool and an outdoor one for both men’s and women’s spas. We have the half board option with our room

We visited in the quiet season but the hotel was lovely and the staff were very friendly & helpful. There's a restaurant at the hotel and it has it's own onsen, which is great. Rooms are Japanese-style & very comfortable

Reception helped us proactively for the very late check-in at 10:30pm. The room fixture and hotel facilities are old but within my expectation in that area and price range. Neat and tidy for the tatami setup

The onsen is big and the hot spring water is good. They just provide you the cold bread for reheat at breakfast. I gave up the breakfast and left

Everyone on staff made us feel welcome from the start. Aziz and both ladies at the front desk were extremely helpful and lovely people. We will always remember them abs their friendliness and how nice our stay was

The property is a little old and it shows in some areas but overall it was a great experience. The staff were all amazing and the bathhouse was excellent. Very short walk to the train and bus station.

A relatively traditional Japanese-style hotel. We had dinner at the izakaya opposite. There are set meals and a la carte options. The breakfast was a bit simple and only had bread, coffee and juice

Pros: - spacious room (a rarity in Japan) - true ski in and ski out - breakfast with some variety - the store on the first floor sells food / snacks / drinks / alcohol of some variety at relatively reasonable prices (will mention this in cons as well) Cons: - almost nothing around to eat for dinner except for 1

a store on the first floor that sells bento boxes (if you get there early) or bread or instant noodles and 3

a pizza place not too far in Club Wyndham - could be a bit cold at night (but you can just pile on duvets) - relatively small shower room with no shower curtain others: - if I think of Shiga Kogen as a strip, Hatsuke (where the hotel is) is pretty much at one end of it

Fantastic hospitality from the staff. They were very helpful in getting us together whenever we needed help. One can ski in and out of the hotel right onto the ski hill

It's not the most central location. For people who would like to cover all the mountains, you can ski from this side all the way to the other end and back

For those who would like to pick specific mountains to ski on, the mountain you like could be quite close or far away from you

The bath wasn't a hot spring, but it was spacious and relaxing. Dinner was a half buffet with a main dish. It was luxurious, something we rarely see these days, and the food was delicious

It's located right next to Ichinose Family Ski Resort, so it's easy to walk to the ski resort and ski right to the hotel on your way back

Only complaint was I needed three futon cushions to make a comfortable bed, but no drama as there were several in the closet. And a fridge in the room would have been nice, but realize that is not Japan-style

I took a bus from Nagano Station, and the Ichinose bus stop is also nearby, which is great. The building is old, but the rooms have been renovated and are very new and comfortable. (The TV was large, which is unusual

I found out that by putting water bottles in the space between the double pane windows, they would get extremely cold but not freeze

It has the best selection of restaurants in the area, with four in the hotel. I tried three of them, all excellent meals

Thank you so much Seongmi and Yoshi for having us and letting us feel so welcomed. This hotel is definitely my recommendation for Yudanaka. The two owners are two amazing person and created a very familiar atmosphere

Yoshi san and Seongmi san are the most helpful and friendly hosts you can wish for. Yoshi san is born and raised in the region and literally knows every corner and can tell you where to go (and where to avoid)

Stayed in the en suite room and it is superb, with a very comfortable mattress and spacious. Highly recommend and cannot wait to be back!

You can tell the owners love and care for the hotel. It is also nice and warm and perfect location to get the bus and visit the snow monkeys. I would recommend it to everyone as it's also a good price for the area

The hotel itself is spotless clean and the breakfast together in the kitchen was perfect start for the day. Try the pudding from the store close by and also coffee from the store don the road if you’re here

The breakfasts were nourishing and tasty, and full of thoughtful touches. The space was beautiful, full of wood, tatami and tasteful lighting. The bed was the most comfortable we've had in all of Japan
