Manager and staff were super friendly and helpful. 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!

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!

Loved the hospitality of the hotel staff. Enjoyed the stay there and the staff made it easy for us to get around with the free shuttle service to snow monkey park and the train station. We loved the outdoor natural onsen. The breakfast was good as well, good variety of cooked and fresh Japanese food.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort
It was really nice, we had 2 rooms for our family and one of the room had a private hot spring (I think they only have it in the first floor). When you’re booking it’s better to book the rooms in one name if you’re planning on multiple rooms, so that way they can put you guys together but it was fine because we got one room with an Onsen. They also park your car for you because they have their own parking space and they give back your keys at check out.

Very friendly staff at the hotel, they helped a lot and were very welcoming in English! They had a nice dinner and solid breakfast (with some western dishes). At the end I was positively surprised with a free transfer to the station. Definitely recommend.

Wonderfully welcoming staff! We were impressed by the service at check in! They also helped us store luggage on the check out date and offered a ride to the station. We were able to take the free shuttle to see the Snow monkey park (ride at 9:30am and pickup at 12pm). They were very helpful overall, providing recommendation and help with finding restaurant and also providing help with taking the bus to ski resort. Nice Japanese buffet style breakfast and all day onsen. Very cute local speciality stands in the front desk for purchase as gifts. Overall, highly recommend it! Really enjoyed interacting with the staff here.

Experienced Japan in traditional way.

My stay here is definitely one of the highlights of my Japan trip. All the staffs are welcoming. The hospitality they gave to me is superb. The room is so spacious specially for solo traveller like me. And felt the traditional room/atmosphere. I enjoyed the whole afternoon staying inside the hotel with tatami floors. They brought me to snow monkey park entrance and to Yudanaka train station the next day. If you are booking with them, make sure include the halfboard (dinner and buffet breakfast). I enjoyed the food a lot while wearing the traditional dress yukata which they provides.

The staff were very helpful. The room was spacious. It was amazing to have our own private in-room onsen! We really enjoyed that. It was wonderful to have close access to the Jigakudani Monkey Park and the amazing mountain peaks. My complaint might be directed toward the property or it might be directed toward Expedia. Expedia explicitly stated that there was laundry, but there was no laundry available in the hotel. I specifically looked to book a hotel with laundry in the midst of our mountain trekking trip. I had to schlep my family's bags of dirty clothes 15 minutes across town and sit in a laundromat since there was none in the hotel. Expedia and Hotel Housei need to sit down together and get all the facts straight!

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.
