He gave us drive to the snow monkey park which saved so much time and energy! Appreciate a lot!
There is one private onsen which was the right size for two people. And could stay there as much as we wanted without reservation. There are two more public onsen too but we did not use this time.
Staffs were all so kind and nice, will definitely want to stay here if I want ryokan again in nagano!
Great place to rest after going to the snow monkey park!

We were hoping to stay in a traditional ryokan with access to an onsen and Seifuso did not disappoint. The room was beautiful and the mattresses were set up when we arrived (we travelled late and arrived after 8). One of the owners drove us to the monkey park and pointed out the bus stop to get back which was seamless. Highly recommend this property for a stay! Wish we had been able to avail of their meals which looked delicious. If we're back in Yudanaka, I'd definitely stay here again.
Super authentic stay with a beautiful outdoor onsen. Walked around to some great sushi areas in the area. Staff was nice and accommodating.
instant pod coffee available for morning.
This has been one of the best places we stayed in Japan. The room was so spacious and very cosy in the winter. The onsens were so relaxing and very clean. We booked to have dinner one night and the food was amazing, so thoughfully prepared, it was an event in itself. The location is great as it's right next to the train for Negano and the bus for the Snow Monkeys.
A true ryokan experience in a property that is 810 years old! But it looks nothing like a 810 years old building as the exterior and interior were well-maintained and kept really neat and clean.
The family running this ryokan were very helpful and friendly with sorting us out during our stay. They were keen to recommend places around the vicinity and helped with our luggage forwarding. Highly recommend dining in the ryokan as well as you will be served a table full of spectacular japanese cuisine.
There was also a dedicated parking space for those who drive. There is some food options and a well-stocked lawson within walking distance from the accomodation but I would recommend driving in this beautiful town.
The room we got was a traditional tatami room with a sink and toilet attached to the room. In the property, there is also 3 separate onsen bath with one of them being a private onsen. The private onsen were perfect for my partner and I as we really needed the onsen during the winter period.
The stay was an experience we won't forget and certainly would revisit in the near future. Thank you for the hospitality and the homemade jam!
Very relaxing and authentic place to stay and experience traditional japanese ryokan and amazing onsens inside the inn. Owners were very friendly.
Great walking distance to lots of great restaurants and bars as well as a good base to explore Shibu Onsen and Shiga Kogen.
The staff were so friendly and helpful ( getting us to the snow monkeys) onsen was lovely and it is very convenient for restaurants. I would highly recommend staying here.
Spacious Japanese style room where no thick mattress was provided. The soft duvet like mattress was comfortable. There was no bath room inside the room itself. Likely because most people will make use of the natural hot spring pool. We were told that our family can have one of the hot spring pools for ourselves without the need to share with other guests. This is a family run hotel. Only the young gentleman can speak English. We were given some sweet and juicy and big Japanese apples as souvenir when we checked out. There were not many restaurants opened during our visit. If you have a car, just drive to nearby outlets to have your meal.
Excellent service on behalf of the owner who even drove us to Jigokudani. The onsens were excellent and extremely clean and the room was quite spacious and comfortable. Would definitely recommend for anyone making a trip to the area.
I loved the intimate experience that was offered at this onsen. The outdoor onsen was absolutely stunning and just what I was looking for. The staff was super kind and even gave us a ride to the snow monkey park. Rooms were very large compared to hotels which was a nice plus!
The staff were super nice and sweet but the non-refundable booking isn’t great especially given that there can be unexpected extreme weather conditions that can make it very difficult to get there. Also, the pictures must be quite old because while this place is still very Japanese and beautiful it has fallen somewhat into disrepair. There are chunks of carpet missing, cracks in the walls and the furniture is obviously very old and also not looking it’s best. Given the price I was expecting a little more effort.
This is an amazing hotel. Our family went there on our trip to the Snow Monkey park. This hotel made our trip really more memorable. The staff is very friendly. The hotel is in a traditional Ryokan style, so it provides a deep dive into traditional Japanese hospitality (including the futon beds on the floor etc). A highlight in this hotel are the hot water pools (onsen). There is a large public one but also a private one for the family. What a relaxing experience.
The hotel is walking distance from the train station. We were provided free transport to the Snow Monkey Park from the hotel, which was really a time and money-saver. We walked back from the Monkey park as it was uphill from the hotel (40 minutes walk with beautiful sights) but there is also a public bus to the train station.
Onsens were exactly as described in the descriptions - lovely space and very hospitable staff. They also offered us a free ride to the Snow Monkey Park the next morning so we didn't have to take the bus!
