Reviews of Yudanaka Seifuso 3 stars

Hot tubs directly in the hostel. One off them was very nice. Japanese rooms look nice.

The facility definitely had better days in the past. Millions of things standing around catching dust. Very old runddown carpets hiding things from decades. Futons should get a lift up as well Low value for the money

Fabulous, highly recommanded.

The onsens are lovely. The dinner and breakfast at the residence are excellent, in a private dining room. The room was spacious. It's a close drive to the snow monkeys. Quiet residence.

Maybe there could be a bit more explanation about the food, what it is, and how best to eat it etc. (Food is delicious though).

This was an amazing onsen house. Located very close to the JR terminal station (3 min walk). The open air onsen is superb and we have enjoyed every single minute inside. The room is super spacious - I would even say the biggest we have ever had during our stay in Japan - you get free mochi, hot water, green tee ingredients every day. They even replaced the linens and towels after 1 night. The staff is very nice and helpful. They called a gas station for me, which charged us more than they should. There is an attached parking lot for free. The whole accommodation is a traditional onsen house with tatami floor. The stay was very nice and enjoyable. And not only due to the superb onsen inside. I highly recommend this!

Nothing to dislike.

Nice private onsen, great location and comfortable futons. Nice staff

It feels outdated (red carpets, chipped wooden frames / doors / windows, marked walls, marked tables..). Steep stairs to the top. No coffee in the room although there is a machine at reception. We ordered the special dinner and compared with other meals in Japan it was expensive and disappointing. The non privet onsen at the hotel was mainly available for men. Women were only allowed 3 hours per day

The staff, an adorable family, really go above and beyond to make you feel welcome. With fresh sheets, towels and yukata supplied during your day outing, absolutely delicious breakfast and eternal and sincere smiles, these people have won our hearts, despite the language barrier. The outside onsen is absolutely amazing, especially after dark. The room is spacious, traditional and has two separate seating areas.

Maybe the bathroom could've used a toilet brush.

Fantastic stay in Yudanaka Seifuso. When we arrived the owner brought us to the snow monkey park. Dinner and breakfast were amazing. As a vegetarian I could fill in a form what my dietary restrictions are (such as no fish broth, no bonito etc.) It is located near the train station. The onsen are great ( both private and public)

Nothing, except i can imagine some people will find the traditional futons a bit uncomfortable to sleep in (I think you can always ask for an extra layer as mentioned in earlier reviews)

All the staff were very friendly, and the rooms were nice and clean.

Amazing staff, love super friendly. Got to use the private onsen. Drove us to the monkey park which was amazing. Beautiful traditional room, with amazing traditional breakfast. Probably one of the best hotels I have ever stayed in .

Nothing

We were looking for a traditional Japanese onsen and were not disappointed. Private onsen available - lovely and hot - 46 degrees! Lovely clean room with tatami floors and futons. Located about 2 minutes walk from rail station. Perfect location for 20 minute bus ride to Jigokudani monkey sanctuary.

Breakfast or evening meal only available by prior arrangement and significantly more expensive than in hotels elsewhere in Japan, though breakfast was very nicely served in a private room.

The staff were lovely very welcoming and helpful, went above and beyond to make our stay amazing. The rooms were very traditional, and we enjoyed the private onsen.

N/A

One of the best stays in Japan. The facility is lovely and the rooms are also beautiful. I felt really well taken care of and the staff were so lovely!

The area is very quiet, maybe more so than I was prepared for. But it was a lovely visit and whilst I would not come back, as I feel this is somewhere to only visit once, i very much enjoyed my time in yudanaka and would recommend this ryokan to everyone visiting!

The onsen is amazing

Very rigid with timing of checking out.

Very authentic ryokan experience. Amazing vegetarian food for breakfast and dinner each day. The private onsen was great too.

The beds were a little bit hard/uncomfortable.
