Top Yamanouchi Hotel Reviews

Wafu No Yado MASUYA

Wafu No Yado MASUYA

10/10 Excellent
"We had a lovely family stay at this ryokan in Shibu Onsen. Our room was river-view, with a beautiful sitting area. It was also a half-board rate, which meant we got to enjoy traditional Japanese breakfast and dinner each day. The public bath I used was lovely, especially the outdoor area. We also used the private onsen as a family, which was great! Easy to walk around town, and the shuttle service to the train station and the snow monkeys was very helpful. The staff were so hospitable and kind, we felt very cared for during our stay."
