Suminoyu

Hotel is very traditional. Food was very yummy.

很乾淨的一間旅館，晚餐好吃，也有早上送到車站的服務

This Ryokan is located in a traditional Onsen village, with a nice, peaceful & old quaint a**osphere. There are many ( think it's 9) public onsens in the area which guests can also use, besides the inhouse one. Room is typical ryokan with tatami bed & inroom bath. Place is very clean. Service is par excellence! Very warm & friendly staff ( few speak English) all round makes you feel welcome. Staff will set up your bed( tatami) while one have their dinner. Traditional set Breakfast & Dinner (included) are very good quality, very traditional & excellent . Great inhouse onsen. Hotel can pick/send guests from/to train station ( from 1.30pm onwards only) . Also one way to Monkey Park. Easy bus access on main road. Only negative thing is this Ryokan is located at the end of a long uphill walk along the onsen village ( tough dragging heavy luggages or even just walking back). We arrive around 11am, so they can't pick us from train station. Took a bus & walk up & waited. Thankfully the nice lady ( think she is the owner) came to open door earlier to put our luggages. But no big issue. Lots of shops were not opened but some opened later in evening. Great experience not to be missed.

Judanaka station transfers were so very convenient for us as well as the transfers to Snow Monkey Park. 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.

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. They supplied us with the key for the 9 public onsens and all the instructions. We also had all the necessary items for the onsen trips including warm jackets for going out. The onsen at the hotel is indoor and outdoor with an amazing view outdoors.

The staff were so kind and helpful, and the included meals were exquisite. We were picked up from Yudanaka station and driven to the Snow Monkey Park the next morning. The location is within a block of two public onsens, but the hotel’s own onsen is even nicer and well-appointed.

The place shows it’s age a little but the hospitality is first rate

Lovely ryokan experience at a reasonable price! Felt like a new property, with great rooms, food, and hospitality for our entire stay. Highly recommended for your first time staying at a ryokan, especially in an onsen village

Lovely small hotel. Very clean, great service. Great onsen on top floor. Traditional Japanese dinner was excellent.
