Room was very spacious. Traditional sleeping mat was very comfortable and I probably got my best night's sleep while on this trip. Walls are a little thin, but all guests were quiet and respectful of others. Baths looked great but unfortunately didn't get to use them. With size 15 feet I wouldn't expect any of the hotel slippers to fit. We had excellent meals within a 5 minute walk. Really enjoyed Yamanouchi! ##### John Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### SONYA Feb 23, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Great central location in Yamanouchi 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. ##### SONYA Stayed 3 nights in Feb 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Thu Mar 2, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Lovely ryokan experience 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. ##### Thu Stayed 1 night in Feb 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Dominika Apr 23, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Amazing stay 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. ##### Dominika Stayed 1 night in Apr 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Yee Kuen Feb 23, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### A very good hotel Good location, free shuttle service to the station, big and clean room, hot shower, delicious breakfast. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/4D7CA744F3DBA88BD34AB041ABBE50E50907831C1708657561019.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Yee Kuen Stayed 4 nights in Feb 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Aislinn Nov 17, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities 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. ##### Aislinn Stayed 2 nights in Nov 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller Apr 4, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Relaxing trip to Yudanaka 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! ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/3FA8299EA5B5BBC6924059062F2A874431FAB0931743762572009.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Apr 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Aik Leng Mar 16, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Good customer attention and quick check in with bus transport pick up and send off ##### Aik Leng Stayed 2 nights in Mar 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### darren Jan 5, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities awesome staff! ##### darren Stayed 2 nights in Jan 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Emma Apr 18, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities We stayed here for the ryokan experience and to visit the snow monkeys which we perfectly achieved. The dinner was a masterpiece with so many small dishes I couldn’t count. The staff were lovely and helped get us to the snow monkeys for opening time and arranged to collect us to drop us back to the station which was so appreciated. ##### Emma Stayed 1 night in Apr 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Aubrey Mar 23, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Went with the half board and used the osen.

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. ##### Jayvee Stayed 2 nights in Feb 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### isaac Jan 13, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities We loved the size of the rooms. The views from the rooms were spectacular too. However, most staff cannot converse well in English hence do note. Loved the onsen. Only issue was that our request in getting extra towels was rejected. ##### isaac Stayed 4 nights in Jan 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Hwee Chong Dec 19, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Wonderful base to explore the Yamanouchi area Wonderful ryokan-style hotel. Stayed for 2 nights with half-board, and the meals (dinner and breakfast) were excellent. The staff were attentive and engaging, taking the time to introduce the dinner menu to us. Chose this place for my children's first ski experience. Just a 30-minute drive to Shiga Kogen where all the ski resorts are. The hotel offers both indoor and outdoor onsens. Simply superb for a hot, relaxing soak after a day on the ski slopes. Highly recommended! ##### Hwee Chong Stayed 2 nights in Dec 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jason Jan 22, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Yamanouchi’s Best Small Hotel This place is simply a gem, everything about the hotel, staff, food was too class and a major benefit was the free on site onsen facilities. It is close to the train station and plenty of great dinning options within easy walking distance from the hotel. The hotel also offers free shuttle bus services for you to the station, the snow monkeys and a few other places, they even took me to the chemist to get medicine for one of our family group members. Cannot rate this hotel highly enough👍 ##### Jason Stayed 7 nights in Jan 2024 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Hotels in Loudon](https://www.expedia.ca/Loudon-Hotels.d602518.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Luxury Hotels in Bellevue](https://www.expedia.ca/Bellevue-Hotels-Luxury-Hotel.0-0-d6434-tLuxuryHotel.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Dreams Huatulco Resort & Spa - All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.ca/Santa-Maria-Huatulco-Hotels-Dreams-Huatulco-Resort-Spa.h889398.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton Garden Inn Anaheim Garden Grove](https://www.expedia.ca/Garden-Grove-Hotels-Hilton-Garden-Inn-Anaheim-Garden-Grove.h424141.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels near Valleyfair Amusement Park](https://www.expedia.ca/Valleyfair-Amusement-Park-Hotels.0-l501809-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Ocean Palace All Inclusive Premium](https://www.expedia.ca/Natal-Hotels-Ocean-Palace-All-Inclusive-Premium.h3196290.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Northeast Edmonton](https://www.expedia.ca/Northeast-Edmonton-Edmonton-Hotels.0-n553248633981702648-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Embassy Suites By Hilton Aruba Beach Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Noord-Hotels-Embassy-Suites-By-Hilton-Aruba-Resort.h76165797.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Albany](https://www.expedia.ca/Albany-Hotels.d603260.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Château des Tourelles - Par Aneyro](https://www.expedia.ca/Quebec-Hotels-Auberge-Chateau-Des-Tourelles.h3976827.Hotel-Information) > > [Golf Hotels in Punta Cana](https://www.expedia.ca/Punta-Cana-Hotels-Golf-Hotel.0-0-d601906-tGolfHotel.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Family Hotels in Cuba](https://www.expedia.ca/Destinations-In-Cuba-Family-Hotel.0-0-d44-tFamilyHotel.Hotel-Filter-Destinations) ### Flights > [Flights from Calgary, AB (YYC-Calgary Intl.) to Lethbridge, AB (YQL-Lethbridge County)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyc/yql/calgary-to-lethbridge) > > [Flights from Dorval (YUL) to Windsor Locks (BDL)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yul/bdl/montreal-to-hartford) > > [Flights from San Francisco (SFO) to Saskatoon (YXE)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/sfo/yxe/san-francisco-to-saskatoon) > > [Flights from Richmond (YVR) to Belgrade (BEG)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yvr/beg/vancouver-to-belgrade) > > [Flights from Ottawa (YOW) to Abuja (ABV)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yow/abv/ottawa-to-abuja) > > [Flights from Mississauga (YYZ) to La Mole (LTT)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/ltt/toronto-to-saint-tropez) > > [Flights from St. John's (YYT) to Ponta Delgada (PDL)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyt/pdl/st-johns-to-ponta-delgada) > > [Flights from Mississauga (YYZ) to SeaTac (SEA)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/sea/toronto-to-seattle) ### Packages > [Michigan Vacations](https://www.expedia.ca/Michigan.d224.Destination-Travel-Guides) > > [All inclusive vacations](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/theme-vacations/all-inclusive-vacations) ### General > [Visit Agadir](https://www.expedia.ca/Agadir.dx305) > > [Visit Cape Traverse](https://www.expedia.ca/Cape-Traverse.dx3000464599) > > [Visit Poughkeepsie](https://www.expedia.ca/Poughkeepsie.dx6056317) > > [Visit Playa La Ropa](https://www.expedia.ca/Zihuatanejo-Playa-La-Ropa.dx643566201039912960)
