Room was spotless, comfortable and quite spacious. The family that runs it was most helpful with everything we asked for. The Japanese dinner that we had on one night was superb.
This is a beautiful Japanese traditional lodging with two shared and a private onsen. It is close to the Yudanaka station and Lawson convenient store. With two kids, we stayed in a large family room with a living room and a bathroom (toilet only). The kids enjoyed watching Japanese kids show in the living room and the grown-ups can relax on the tatami next door. The breakfast and dinner are amazing. Everything is just so perfectly arranged for our stay. Highly recommend staying here if you are in Yudanaka.

The staff (owner?) was friendly and spoke to us in English. They had a place ready for our luggage before check in so we could go to the Snow Monkey Park first. We enjoyed our traditional stay. The hot spring is very hot! I only stayed in for two minutes.
Very relaxing and authentic place to stay and experience traditional japanese ryokan and amazing onsens inside the inn. Owners were very friendly.
Great walking distance to lots of great restaurants and bars as well as a good base to explore Shibu Onsen and Shiga Kogen.

Traditional Japanese inn with beautiful garden & 3 onsen. Appreciate snacks left in our room. Ryokan is 2 min walk from Yudanaka station with eateries within walking distance. Warm & friendly staff.
The staff were so friendly and helpful ( getting us to the snow monkeys) onsen was lovely and it is very convenient for restaurants. I would highly recommend staying here.
Quaint family run Ryokan that’s big enough to offer everything you’d want / need, but small enough to feel like home for a couple days. Very friendly owners. Delicious breakfast included with our stay. Outdoor onsen was beautiful; indoor “family/private” onsen was nice with kids.
Excellent service on behalf of the owner who even drove us to Jigokudani. The onsens were excellent and extremely clean and the room was quite spacious and comfortable. Would definitely recommend for anyone making a trip to the area.
I loved the intimate experience that was offered at this onsen. The outdoor onsen was absolutely stunning and just what I was looking for. The staff was super kind and even gave us a ride to the snow monkey park. Rooms were very large compared to hotels which was a nice plus!
This place was a very cute, homely, with a family owned ryokan vibe. We had a nice spacious room, the biggest we had in our whole trip to Japan, with beautiful views of the surrounding mountains.
The futons were so comfortable compared to other futons we slept on at other ‘trendy’ ryokans. The onsen was very nice and relaxing, they offered both private and public onsen and amenities.
The styling is old fashioned but this added to the charm of the place for me and I would definitely stay here again!
This place is incredible, everyone was so friendly. And it’s so unique and beautiful. Everything is super accessible and easy to find. Literally only 2 minutes from train station. The food was amazing both dinner and breakfast is very worth it. I am definitely going to book again.
Super authentic stay with a beautiful outdoor onsen. Walked around to some great sushi areas in the area. Staff was nice and accommodating.
instant pod coffee available for morning.
This has been one of the best places we stayed in Japan. The room was so spacious and very cosy in the winter. The onsens were so relaxing and very clean. We booked to have dinner one night and the food was amazing, so thoughfully prepared, it was an event in itself. The location is great as it's right next to the train for Negano and the bus for the Snow Monkeys.
We had a great experience although we did not take advantage of the dinner that looked awesome. Traveled as a family and really enjoyed everything about it. Onsen was hot! We were off season and would love to go back during winter.
We enjoyed our stay at this onsen hotel. The staff were very accommodating and made us feel welcome, and we were able to use the private onsen, which was refreshing after a long day. The only downside was that the room smelled strongly of gas due to the gas heaters, but we adjusted to it. The best part was waking up to a foot of snow! Very beautiful.
Terrible sleeping arrangements. No comfort anywhere in the room.

We were hoping to stay in a traditional ryokan with access to an onsen and Seifuso did not disappoint. The room was beautiful and the mattresses were set up when we arrived (we travelled late and arrived after 8). One of the owners drove us to the monkey park and pointed out the bus stop to get back which was seamless. Highly recommend this property for a stay! Wish we had been able to avail of their meals which looked delicious. If we're back in Yudanaka, I'd definitely stay here again.
He gave us drive to the snow monkey park which saved so much time and energy! Appreciate a lot!
There is one private onsen which was the right size for two people. And could stay there as much as we wanted without reservation. There are two more public onsen too but we did not use this time.
Staffs were all so kind and nice, will definitely want to stay here if I want ryokan again in nagano!
