Recent Reviews in Yudanaka Shibu Onsen

Mercure Nagano Matsushiro Resort & Spa

10/10 Excellent

"It was awesome. I am not a robot. I'm just a guy. The onsen was fricking awesome. Loved the floor. -Kaya"

Hotel Omodaka

10/10 Excellent

"This place was the most amazing, warm, friendly, and loving hotel I’ve ever had the privilege of staying. The entire hotel is run by a phenomenal family—so incredibly kind, loving, and welcoming. We were greeted warmly upon our arrival and they showed us a map of the town, asked how they could help, and made great suggestions for dinner. The gentleman drove my family and I to the Snow Monkey Park and drove us to the train station the next morning. We had the most delicious cheeseburgers that we have ever had in our whole lives at the restaurant downstairs and enjoyed time in the recreation room playing pool, chess, and other fun games. The onsens on the property were very clean, hot, and relaxing. I got to experience the open air and enclosed onsen during my stay and both were so peaceful. When we left, the whole family came outside to wave goodbye to us and bow. It was truly the most amazing and authentic Japanese hotel throughout our 1-month of travel across this amazing country! I would recommend this place to every soul on planet earth :)"

Kanbayashi Hotel Senjukaku

10/10 Excellent

"Loved our experience here! The staff was very friendly and helpful. Would recommend booking with the half board plan so that you have breakfast AND dinner included as dinner options in the area are scare from what we observed. Meals were delicious. 30 min walk to snow monkey park - and the walk is stunning. Both the public onsen and both private onsens at the hotel were wonderful. Would stay here again!"

Kamei no Yu

8/10 Good

"This was a pretty cool stay. It really feels like your at a traditional style Japanese Inn! We did both of the private onsens and they were awesome; One option is a wooden bath and the other is a stone bath, both options have an indoor and outdoor bath. It rained on our visit to the outdoor stone bath and it was a great experience, they supply hats for the rain too if you want. We also did the breakfast and dinners. You get a lot of food for both, so make sure you're hungry, the food is pretty good though! When it comes to downsides: I don't know if this is everyone else's experience, but when we arrived we were sat down and asked a bunch of questions about our stay (dinner and onsen reservation details, a survey about our stay, etc..) I understand that they need this info, but it was kind of a lot after our train journey when we just wanted to get in and relax. I sort of feel like it could have just been a single paper in your room to fill out and bring to the front or something. I also don't love being locked into times for things, and here you set your time for breakfast, dinner, and onsens. Again, it makes sense that they do this, and it's not a big problem, just something to note if you're planning on staying here! The only other minor downsides are that the shower head kind of sucked lol (water spraying out practically sideways, making it hard to get in the water), and the AC units were quite loud/annoying."

Frequently asked questions

What is the best area to stay in Yudanaka Shibu Onsen?

The best area to stay in Yudanaka Shibu Onsen is either Shibu Onsen itself for a traditional ryokan experience or Yudanaka Onsen for slightly more modern conveniences.

Shibu Onsen is the more historic and picturesque of the two, known for its cobblestone streets and nine public bathhouses, each with different mineral compositions. Guests staying in a ryokan here often receive a key to try all nine baths, a fun activity in itself. The area has a wonderfully preserved Edo-period feel, with traditional architecture lining the main streets.

Couples looking for a romantic and traditional Japanese experience will find Shibu Onsen particularly appealing. The opportunity to stroll the streets in a yukata (a traditional Japanese garment) between onsen visits, perhaps stopping at small shops or cafes, creates a memorable stay. The village is also well-situated for easy access to the famous Jigokudani Monkey Park.

Yudanaka Onsen, while still very traditional, offers a bit more variety in terms of accommodation and dining options, including some larger hotels. It's the main transport hub, with the train station providing direct links to Nagano City. This area is still very much focused on onsen bathing, with several large ryokans offering extensive private and public baths.

For travellers who appreciate good value and convenience, Yudanaka Onsen can be a practical choice. The proximity to the train station makes arrival and departure straightforward, and there are typically more budget-friendly accommodation options available without sacrificing the onsen experience.

When is the best time to go to Yudanaka Shibu Onsen?

The best time to visit Yudanaka Shibu Onsen is during the winter months, typically from December to March, to experience the snow monkeys in their natural, snowy habitat.

This period offers the iconic image of the Japanese macaques bathing in the Jigokudani Monkey Park's hot springs, surrounded by snow. The cold weather also enhances the experience of staying in a traditional ryokan and enjoying the region's many onsen. For those who enjoy winter sports, the nearby Shiga Kogen ski resort is usually in full swing during these months.

Couples looking for a romantic getaway will find the winter months particularly appealing. Imagine enjoying the warmth of a private onsen with snow falling outside, followed by a delicious multi-course kaiseki dinner. The crisp air and the magical sight of the snow monkeys create a memorable atmosphere.

While winter is popular, the autumn months, from late October to November, also offer stunning scenery with the changing leaves, and fewer crowds.
