I interacted with the really helpful staff

I stayed here for 1 night, the hotel was atmospheric, with peaceful location near to a stream runs underneath the dojo. I thoroughly enjoyed rooms with futon on tatami mats. Really helpful staff that liked their guests. Lots of food for breakfast, everything was good. The vibe here was warm...

This place was comfortable and the staff was amicable. The atmosphere created was warm. Choose twin room with futon on tatami mats. Thoroughly enjoyed our place and definitely want to stay in that area again...

the hotel was just off the bakery across the street and the sumo-themed restaurant and train station thanks to its excellent and stunning location. stayed for 6 days and did not want to leave, i would love to go back.

Incredible staff

We loved our rooms with traditional futons on tatami mats. the hotel's location was peaceful and lovely, just a short walk from Kaede no Yakata. the property was situated in a fantastic area.

I stayed at a charming ryokan in Yamanouchi and had a fantastic experience. The owner was incredibly helpful, even giving us a lift to the monkey park and providing a map of recommended restaurants. The traditional rooms were cozy, with good heating and comfortable futons. The inn had its own natural hot spring baths, perfect for relaxing after a day of exploring. If I'm ever in the area again, I would definitely choose this ryokan.

Would recommend this hotel.

The location was convenient, close to the station and restaurants. we had a wonderful experience and would highly recommend this ryokan.

The tatami mats and sliding doors were beautiful and gave a cozy and authentic feel. The common areas were accessible for senior people like me, with comfortable seating and clear signage. It was easy to navigate and find my way around, which made my stay more enjoyable.

I would have liked to see more assistance from the staff in helping senior guests with their luggage. It would have been nice if the children working there offered to carry the bags or provide a luggage trolley.

I would have appreciated better signage in the hotel to help navigate around. The children working there were very helpful, but sometimes it was a bit challenging to find my way around the property.

We had a fantastic stay at a ryokan in Yamanouchi. the highlight for us was trying out Kyudo, Japanese archery. the ryokan had a dojo with an outdoor range where we learned the basics, witnessed a demonstration, and even got to fire some arrows. the host, who seemed to do everything, was amazing. He spoke English, ran the reception, made delicious breakfast, and taught Kyudo. the property was conveniently located just a short walk from the station. we enjoyed the onsen and got to wear traditional yukata robes around the property. it was an awesome and memorable experience. Cons: Liked everything about our stay! 😊.

The room at Uotoshi Ryokan was such a cozy haven for my family. The tatami floors and the Japanese-style futon bedding made us feel like we were truly experiencing traditional Japanese culture. It was a beautiful blend of comfort and authenticity!

Personally, we weren't big fans of the shared bathrooms. But hey, that's just our preference!

Convenient location near train station, ski resorts, and Jigokudani Snow Monkey Park. Spacious, well-heated rooms and soothing in-house hot spring. Welcoming host offers helpful travel tips and provides kyudo lessons. Easy access to dining options. Accessible by private train from Nagano.
