Find 2-Star Hotels in Yamanouchi

I think the boss just opened the restaurant and made an accommodation by the way. The food was so delicious. The two of us had nothing left to eat. There was a bath in it, so I could soak almost all day, and the room was big and perfect.

Amazing Stay at Hotel Iwasuge – A Hidden Gem for Ski & Onsen Lovers! We had an incredible stay at Hotel Iwasuge, which truly became the highlight of our trip. While the interior may be a bit dated, the five-star service and exceptional food more than made up for it. We stayed for two nights on a half-board plan, and every meal was different, delicious, and thoughtfully prepared. The hospitality was outstanding—every staff member was incredibly helpful and made us feel right at home. The location is perfect for skiing, with ski-in, ski-out access. There are two lifts right next to the hotel—one going up and one going down. The slopes nearby offer a mix of red and green tracks, making them ideal for beginners and families. Our kids especially loved the wide, easy slopes. We also rented ski equipment directly from the hotel (though helmets were not included). After a long day on the slopes, the Hoppo Onsen was the perfect way to relax. The onsen itself is so good that we noticed some visitors coming just for the hot spring experience! We have stayed in many four- and five-star hotels, and Hotel Iwasuge is truly one of the best. It may not be as widely known, but it absolutely deserves more recognition. We highly recommend it to anyone looking for a fantastic ski, onsen, and gourmet experience in Shiga Kogen. We can’t wait to return!

The hotel is at the intersection of the first cable car and the second cable car in the new horizontal hand ski resort, about 1800 meters above sea level. So the view is wide and the scenery is very good. The hotel can also rent ski gear and ask ski instructors, but make an appointment in advance. There are full of young people everywhere. Of course there are people from all over the world who come to enjoy the powder snow here. The boss drove his snow motorcycle to pick us up and it was very windy. I hope to provide a paid motorcycle sightseeing project.

The host speaks good English and the communication is smooth. The room is big and heated, clean and hygienic. The private onsen is clean and opposite is Hatsu-no-Yu. It is a good experience to go out to the public onsen at night. It is snowing and you will not feel cold in yukata. The host sent us to the station in the morning. Thank you very much. We spent a short but warm night in Yudanaka. I will recommend other friends to come here! The host was great and easy to communicate with, speaking excellent English. The room was big, clean, and warm. The private onsen was nice and clean, and Hatsu-no-Yu was just across the street. We loved soaking in the public onsen at night while it was snowing.feel super warm only wearing the yukata. In the early morning, the host kindly drove us to the station. It was a short but lovely stay in Yudanaka. Highly recommend it to friends!

Shiga no yu is all about attentive, good hearted, genuine good service. We loved the 70s vibe of the place. It is charming 70s style all the way. The meals provided were wonderful! Great portions, taste and variety! Each meal was different! The onsen was perfect at the end of each muscle weary day from skiing. Dont expect top of the range ski rentals so if that’s important to you, bring your own. But if not, just enjoy the intimate style of the place and the many ski hills to explore starting with the chair lift right outside the hotel’s door!

Stayed at this homestay for a few days during the Spring Festival and it feels really great. The proprietress is very very friendly. The rice is also delicious. The hot spring in the hotel is also great and very convenient. The location here is about an hour’s drive from the ski resort, and there is a shuttle bus every day, which is quite convenient. The room is clean, warm and comfortable. Although it is a public restroom, I did not feel any inconvenience. My favorite is to go back to the hot springs for bathing after skiing every day.

This hotel is definitely an older building and it does show. It’s well maintained but know that going into making a booking here! The staff are really incredible, I had an incident with my door and they immediately fixed the problem for me. Additionally I was hoping to get to the Snow Monkey park earlier than the shuttle service was set to depart and they were nice enough to take me! There were some minor cleanliness things like cobwebs and the fridge had a slight mildew scent to it that made me weary to put anything open inside. Additionally there was no hair dryer, I probably could have asked because it’s such a staple amenity but I was in a rush and never did. It’s about a 7 minute walk from the station and there’s a Lawson and Pharmacy en route if you need to grab anything. It’s about 4 minutes from a bus that can take you deeper into the area with more food and shops too. There isn’t much else in this area but it is about an hour from central Nagano. If you’re a solo traveler looking to explore the area but not wanting to spend too much on one of the famous ryokan’s in the area, I definitely recommend!

The hosts — an elderly couple — were incredibly warm and welcoming. From the moment we arrived, they treated us like family, always checking in to make sure we had everything we needed. The property is a bit dated, but that only adds to its charm. It has a cozy, homey feel that you rarely find in modern accommodations. If you're looking for a place with soul and genuine hospitality, this is it. Would definitely come back!

They do not have air conditioning or a heater in the room. This is the first time I’ve encountered this in Nagano or in accommodation around a ski area (I ski every week). The floor heating is insufficient and does not warm the room at all. It was freezing at night. On top of that, the mattress is uncomfortably hard and the blanket is very heavy. Even after a long day of skiing, I barely managed to sleep. And the next morning, my whole body was sore. Aside from the sleep issues, everything else was acceptable.

Everything is fine, the price is proportional to the accommodation, remember to drive 4 cars to the accommodation first. I am a normal car, only parking the large parking lot above. Going up delicious.
