Obvious reason to stay is to visit the Shibu Onsen facilities and the Snow Monkey Park and this is a great option for those activities. Pretty close to the Shiga Kogen resort. Check the Map before booking as it is not in Nagano despite the address. Diner and breakfast with Half board was very good and staff were friendly and helpful. Free shuttles were a bonus. ##### Brad Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Lisa Jul 17, 2025 Liked: Amenities Loved our experience.

From the pickup at the station to the drop off at the Snow Monkey Park, to the “key” to the local Onsen circuit…this was a welcome reprieve from the crazy pace of Tokyo and Kyoto. Everyone was so friendly and helpful, dinner and breakfast meals were all amazing and the rooms and facilities were clean and comfortable. I would go back in a heartbeat. And to top it all off, I accidentally left my shampoo and conditioner and before I’d realized it, they drove it over to me and gave it to me in the train before it departed, going way above expectations! ##### Karen Stayed 2 nights in Apr 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Virginia Feb 22, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### wonderful Ryokan with delightful staff We had a wonderful two night stay here, one in a traditional Japanese room and one in a modern Japanese room. The staff did everything to make us welcome; they are super friendly and helpful. You have everything you need for a stay in an onsen town. The kaiseki dinner was delicious - served in a dining room not in the room, and breakfast wonderful too. The roof level onsen is clean and tidy and has great views from the outside pools - the men's more so as the women's have a bamboo discretion fence. But you can see over it. Collected and dropped at Yudanaka station to meet our trains Heartily recommend. ##### Virginia Stayed 2 nights in Feb 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Boon Kiat Jan 22, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Best Ryokan to stay. the stay was very nice, very nice lady boss and very friendly, The room was large and extremely cozy and warm for ryokan stay. breakfast and dinner we have was so good. just love it.

The staff were incredibly patient and helpful even though we did not speak Japanese. The food served was really incredible. Even the kids meal was very thoughtfully planned and tasty. Location was perfect, it was so close to the shrine and a tiny play area with snow for kids was right next door. They also had a foot bath and next to an area with foot baths. The onsen on site was very nice especially the outdoor one. Not crowded at all. We had everything we needed, even great espresso at the front desk. We loved our stay. ##### Lynn Stayed 2 nights in Feb 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Suzanne May 8, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Ryokan Suminoyu was absolutely wonderful. We had a traditional Japanese room with two twin futons. The bathroom and shower were modern and lovely. The staff spoke English and were very gracious about our attempts to speak Japanese. The location is perfect; tucked on a quaint street in the heart of Shibu Onsen. We were picked up from the Yudanaka Station by the staff who monitored our train arrival time and were there to retrieve us when we arrived. There were also two very convenient morning shuttles to the Snow Monkey park. The walk back was down hill and only took 25 minutes. There were cabs there if you needed one. We were absolutely delighted with our Kaiseki style dinners and breakfasts. They were prepared and served beautifully and the wait staff were very gracious in explaining the various dishes and in what order to eat them. I cannot praise Ryokan Suminoyu enough. Thank you to the staff for making our first Ryokan and Onsen experience one we will never forget. ##### Suzanne Stayed 2 nights in Apr 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kia Hung Jan 15, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Fantastic Stay Definitely the best decision to change our booking (for 03 families) to Suminoyu Ryokan as the overall stay was a superb one right from the start. It was also a 2nd time stay in this ryokan for one of us. Lady proprietor greeted us warmly outside the ryokan after we had parked our cars and her team immediately sprang into action welcoming and helping us with the bags and parking. It had snowed the night before so the roads were snowed in and iced and very cold. As we were heading into snow monkey park, lady boss was concerned with the ladies' footwear and gladly offered her personal snow boots to 2 of our female travellers. The rooms were clean, cosy and well maintained taking into account that the ryokan was fully booked. Dinner and breakfast were served in a room separated for each travelling party. Service were prompt and excellent especially from a lady staff ( Filipina) who is always obliging and smiley. The Onsen on the top floor was good and we enjoyed hot soaks daily with an awesome view of the mountain range. Check out was swift and the farewell experience from lady owner and her team was with the highest recognition to their guests. They stood and waited to bid goodbye out in the cold even when we gestured that we would take a while to get ready. Overall it was a great stay and the experience we had was exceptional from the team in Suminoyu Ryokan. Thank you Suminoyu Ryokan, we will sure to be back! ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/FF6CA58F7CCBC5024425D3E5C508D245FB81B26C1705285409905.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Kia Hung Stayed 1 night in Jan 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Alejandro Nov 18, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities Excellent service, amazed with the attention during the check in and check out service, incredible experience durin the dinner en breakfast service.
