Uotoshi Ryokan was amazing! The host was super nice, the meals were fantastic, the room was great. The area is perfect, it's a great place to get away from the city for a bit. It's a bit in the past, but in a really nice way! Our room didn't have a washroom in the room, we didn't mind.

Such a wonderful place to stay and explore the surrounding areas. The host Miyasaka-san is exceptional and made us very welcome and comfortable. Daily rituals of traditional breakfast and bathing in the onsen, and the opportunity to watch a local archers traditional competition here in the dojo made for a truly magical stay. Highly recommended.

Truly an amazing experience. It is a traditional ryokan run by lovely people — the owner made us breakfast, offered to drive us to the Snow Monkey Park, and gave us apples and candy for our train ride home. It was the highlight of our trip. It is definitely not for those who need luxury and comfort, but it is cozy, cool, and memorable

I would recommend Uotoshi Ryokan to anyone visiting Yudanaka. It is a lovely traditional Japanese inn with comfortable rooms and a relaxing hot spring bath. It is very conveniently located near Snow Monkey park, many restaurants, and the Yudanaka train station. The owners are kind and helpful, and even offer to drive you to Snow Monkey Park! We will stay here again if we come back to Yudanaka.

Authentic Japanese Experience
The Owner was so accommodating he even offered for a free ride to the monkey park but we decided to be driven back to our hotel in Yamanouchi. Our one night experience for a Japanese culture was genuine and fantastic. The Japanese dinner and breakfast was so good.

There are no private showers at this property. This may not be an issue for most people, but I read a misleading review which made me book this property thinking there were private showers and that is NOT the case. The shower is a combined 4 person shower and tub you can soak in afterwards. The breakfast was amazing and I highly recommend it if you have the option. Host was knowledgeable about the area and snow monkey park and the property was very close to the train station which was convenient. Futon on the floor was very uncomfortable and felt like you were sleeping directly on the floor. I ended up checking out a day early because I couldn’t hack lol, but overall is probably worth the price.

If you are on a budget, this was a good place to stay with shared bathrooms and sink areas. Shared bathroom has 2 stalls, very small and sink areas have 2 with upstairs and downstairs. I think this place's capacity is 8 parties total. We stayed for 3 nights and chose breakfast. Breakfast was delicious and owners were hospitable. We felt bad that they had to work on New Year's. Most of the surrounding area was closed from New Year's Eve through 01/04/23, but surprisingly Snow Monkey Park was open on New Year's. If you're wanting 3 star hotel amenities, this is not the place for you, but for the price we paid we felt it was reasonable and truly did experience the traditional ryokan experience and the onsen onsite was a plus.

　昔ながらの日本旅館で、自分にとってはとっても落ち着きました。温泉はどうやら源泉を持っているようで、温度が絶妙で、とても心地よかったです。もちろん、一晩中入れます。朝ごはんもとてもおいしかったです。 　駅から下に向かって、歩いて7分ほど。駅前にはローソンがあります。昼は適当なお店がありますが、夜になると若干の呑み屋と寿司屋、スナックくらいしか開いていないので、食事をしようとしている人は要注意です。 　唯一の問題はWiFi。ご主人のスマホでは電波が受信できるようなのですが、こちらのスマホでもパソコンでも電波が入りませんでした。相性が悪いのでしょう。 　でも、値段も安いし、居心地がよいので、また利用します。

Ein sehr sehr schöner Aufenthalt in einem alten und Authentischen Ryokan. Das Onsen Bad ist wirklich unglaublich erholsam und generell wirkt die gesamte Unterkunft wirklich sehr sehr Authentisch. Der Betreiber der Unterkunft fuhr mich sogar mit seinem PKW zum Nahegelegenen Affenpark und anschließend gab es mir Einblicke in die Kunst des Japanischen Bogenschiessens. Bisher mein schönster Aufenthalt in Japan

Autentisk Ryokan med egetvarn kildevann-bad.
Svært autentisk Ryokan, med fabelaktig vert. Litt "slitne" fasiliteter , men dette bidro til intrykket av autentisitet. Hadde eget lite "Onsen"-bad med naturlig varmt kildevann. God mat, god service. Verten tok oss med på et fascinerende besøk på banen for klassisk japansk busekyting (som ligger vegg i vegg med Ryokan'en. Fikk se trening mens vi var plassert ved tradisjonelt lavt bord (med tepper og ovn under.

閑静な昔からの温泉地。広大な温泉地の一角で、人通りは少なく、昔ながらの温泉地とは違う。温泉のお湯は完全な掛け流しで、一晩中、夜間の利用が可能。寂れた温泉の素朴な風呂、近代的な宿を狙うには不向きかも知れないが、安価で夕食のおかずの量は十分で、宿の主人は善良である。弓道などの合宿に利用され、弓道好きに良い。ペットとの同伴も受けているようである。素朴な感じを受ける宿と感じた。古き良き友との素朴で気取らない旅に良い。
