Our family of six had a lovely stay! We loved the dinner/breakfast/free shuttle to the snow monkeys and train and the staff was so friendly and helpful. Would highly recommend !
Really enjoyed the indoor and outdoor onsen experience, the outdoor onsen being a huge highlight as it was snowing outside at the time. The room was really spacious and very comfortable

Fabulous location with lovely traditional rooms. Shuttle to and from station and to the Snow Monkey park with ample time to see the monkeys. Shops and restaurants within walking distance.
There was a shuttle expecting us outside Yudanaka station, even though it's just a 6min walk to the hotel, but much appreciated when you're carrying bags. The place is beautiful and the private onsen: AMAZING (indoor and outdoor). Breakfast was a nice varied Buffet and loved the provided yukatas. Would definitely go back!
Super hospitality! Partner & I appreciated the hotel free shuttle provided. Staff anf service standard commendable.👍
Wished we had stayed longer. So hope to come back to stay at this hotel the next time.
The staff was friendly and nice. The van driver gave us rides to and from Snow Monkey Park and to the train station - very helpful! We enjoyed the dinner and breakfast came with the plan. We also enjoyed the inside/outside hot springs. Affordable hotel with excellent customer service!
This is a great family friendly hotel. We booked a room with a private onsen which was absolutely worth the extra cost. The hotel has a shuttle which will take you to/from the Yudanaka station and the snow monkey park. This was a great place to stay.
Great hotel, really nice and accommodating staff. It's a great way to have a traditional ryokan experience. Great size room, and great location for the small town. Really good value for what you get, we would love to come back.
Really fantastic stay. Both for the experience, and easy location to the monkey park (which the staff provided a free shuttle to and from).
Decided to go for half board - breakfast/dinner - and the food was SO good, especially the second night’s dinner. Staff were all wonderful and attentive and the Onsen (indoor and outdoor) was the perfect way to end the day. 10/10 recommend and will stay here again if I’m back in the area.
Amazing stay. The gentleman at the front desk who spoke great English was lovely, he helped us with everything and was also attentive during our kaiseki dinner, helping explain everything. We had a tatami room, it was nice, the bathroom a little dated, but the onsen was fabulous. The outdoor onsen was beautiful. Loved our stay here and can recommend it to anyone.
Great hotel. Friendly staff. They picked us up from train station and took us to monkey park. Its made our one night stay easy. The onsen was nice. Not much food around town, so go to dinner early.
Loved my stay at Hotel Housei. Yamanouchi is one of my favourite places in Japan and this is a great place to stay as it is within walking distance of Yudanaka and Shibu Onsen. Hotel Housei provides shuttle service to Snow Monkey Park and Ski areas nearby.
Dining and breakfast options were great.
I must also mention the staff is very English-friendly which made things very easy for me.
Wonderful stay in Yudanaka Hotel Housei. Everything from check in to check out was superb. The staff were so friendly and helpful. They drove us to the Snow Monkey park and to the train station. The breakfast buffet was delicious with so many traditional foods. Onsen was relaxing after a cold day walking around. Will be back!
