Shiga Highlands, Yamanouchi
Located in Yamanouchi, 13 km from Jigokudani Monkey Park, Villa Alpen provides accommodation with a hot tub and a public bath. With ski-to-door access, the 3-star guest house has air-conditioned rooms with free WiFi, each with a shared bathroom. Featuring family rooms, this property also provides guests with a children's playground. Authentic Japanese experience. This is a family-run hotel with various offered services. Ski renting and lesson can be done at the hotel. Ken is truly an amazing teacher. Very patient and encouraging. We booked 3 lessons with him and very satisfied. As for food, we opted for half board option and find that the dinners, in every nights we stayed, are delicious and nutritional. Ski-in/ski-out is very convenient. The ski lift is right in front of the hotel. The Sun Valley area is also great for both beginner and intermediate skiers with green/red/black slopes in one area. On weekdays, there are almost no people there, which is nice if you want to practice or learn to ski. The bus stop to the city and other areas is only 100m away. The 24-h onsen is perfect after a tiring day of skiing. The family's hospitality is unmatched. I broke my glasses and Captain helped me fix them :) they literally have everything. Highly recommend!

Great host, breakfast, location.
Great location, lovely host.
We enjoyed our time at Shimaya. The host was kind enough to leave us with a parting gift and a group photo to capture our stay. This hotel is not part of the group of ryokans that allow you access to Shibu onsen, HOWEVER you do get to access the onsen around the corner. At first we were disappointed that we could not access the 9 onsens, but after visiting the one we really enjoyed it and found that a lot of locals gravitated to it as well.
Yummy breakfast, lovely host couple.
Great host!
Wonderful ryokan with very hot onsen baths! We had a very comfortable stay and enjoyed a delicious dinner and breakfast. So many reviews mention the lovely hosts (that was why we booked) and their hospitality was incredible. They were kind enough to drive us to the monkey park and drop us at the station. Couldn’t recommend more highly!
It was a short stay but Yoshi and Seonmi were lovely hosts, convenient location to onsens, cosy rooms and would love to be back!
A traditional (!) ryokan with access to amazing onsen. I recommend this to those looking for an authentic onsen experience, and please, be mindful to the locals and respect the rules!
Fantastic room, lovely hosts, and great location. I loved everything about my stay!
comforts of home (reading material, vinyl collection, lounge, etc), spotlessly clean, great & interesting food, lovely hosts, excelent location …i could go on
