Ryokans in Shimominochi District

"Excellent service, friendly and helpful english speaking staff, an amazing facility with great baths, all in an incredible location. We would recommend anyone going to Yamanouchi and Shibu onsen stay at Kokuya "

"The owner and staff were amazing and so friendly. We loved our stay !"

"The Good was great, hospitality and the priva-te bath."

"Beautiful property and inside/outside onsen. Splurge for the (9 course!) set dinner and breakfast option - we got lucky and were assigned a private room to enjoy the elegance. A wonderful place to stay in a wonderful town!"

"Nice quiet place by the river and very friendly staff. Great value for money."

"Wonderful affordable spot centrally located for mountain adventures."

"Nicer Ryokan for the area. Obvious reason to stay is to visit the Shibu Onsen facilities and the Snow Monkey Park and this is a great option for those activities. Pretty close to the Shiga Kogen resort. Check the Map before booking as it is not in Nagano despite the address. Diner and breakfast with Half board was very good and staff were friendly and helpful. Free shuttles were a bonus."

"Amazing view, delicious food, nice location to Iwappara and lovely stuff!! "

"Staff was kind and attentive, we got a great authentic experience with the dinner and breakfast addition. We would love to come back!"

"Seperate baths allows guests to enjoy hot spring privately."

"Very well taken care of hotel, although an older property. Liked that we could use private bath on reserved time. Good breakfast and close to the train station"

"We really enjoyed our stay, the onsen was amazing after skiing everyday. The rooms were so cozy with very comfortable beds. "
