Hotel Analysis
Based on 4 sites · 410 reviews
This 3-star hotel&resort is located in Yamanouchi, Nagano, just 4.6km from Jigokudani Monkey Park and right by Yudanaka Station. Guests frequently mention the easy access from the station, onsen baths, and free lounge drinks in reviews.
Reviews across sites highlight spacious and clean rooms. The lobby offers unlimited free drinks, alcohol, and snacks in the evening, perfect for relaxing after skiing. The onsen is small but clean with an outdoor bath that's popular. Staff are friendly and helpful despite language barriers.
However, the facilities have an older, retro feel. Some reviews note firm beds where springs are felt and cramped onsen space.
It's suitable for solo travelers, couples, and skiers. Expect good value and relaxing onsen stays.
