βNestled in the lovely onsen village of Yamanouchi, this traditional ryokan impressed me with its warm, English-speaking staff, comfortable rooms, and beautifully presented traditional Japanese cuisine. I especially appreciate the free shuttle service from the train station and to the snow monkey park; it's a thoughtful touch that elevates the experience of staying here. If you seek a traditional onsen experience with exceptional service, this is where to find it.β
