Ryokan Biyunoyado

Close to snow monkey forrest, they have free shuttle to Monkey forrest entrance

是個很小的的一個鎮，很安靜。有中文工作人員，很熱情，有啥需要幫助的都可以找他們，附近有個野猿公園，可以去看看小猴子泡温泉，旅館提供接送，有班車時刻表。

酒店大堂和房間景觀好，但私湯環境一般，收2000日元，沒什麼性價比

服務態度一流、也有中文翻譯、一泊兩食鮮味道可以、蘑菇不錯。但房間有些陳舊、性價比不高。

景觀很好誒

Ryokan Biyunoyado is one of the best serviced hotels I’ve ever stayed at. I’ve travelled all over the world and been to many 5 start hotels, and Biyunoyado for me had the most memorable service that I can think of. I visited over the Xmas Holidays for 3 days and the hotel is super clean, the employees are so nice and polite and the service was just outstanding. Our room was a Japanese style room and around 300 square feet, so quite a lot of room. They have multiple natural hot springs (onsen) that were so clean and relaxing and not just a square/rectangular shape like a swimming pool, but made of rock and stone that makes it feel like you’re out in the wilderness. This is the first time I’ve ever been in an onsen, and what a great experience at this hotel. The breakfasts were amazing Japanese-style breakfast and definitely memorable, I’ll probably never forget the breakfast experience at this hotel. The only thing I regret was that I was not able to have dinner in their restaurant and you are required to make a reservation because they buy and make the food fresh that day. There are many good reviews about their dinner, so I never go to experience that, but hopefully one day I’ll go back. There are several restaurants and cafes nearby as well. Biyunoyado also offers a free shuttle to Snow Monkey Park (a 10-15 min ride) which is one of the top attractions in this area of which my family utilized on the morning before we left, which was a great experience. We mainly came to go skiing/snowboarding at Shiga Kogen ski resort. The hotel offers a shuttle down to the bus station (a 10 mins walk) and then a free shuttle to one area of Shiga Kogen ski resort (which is a very large resort). So this free shuttle to the ski resort was definitely a great perk. Shiga Kogen has some of the nicest snow I’ve ever snowboarded on and I only remember this quality of snow in the Swiss Alps and a day’s lift ticket at Shiga Kogen at the current USD/JPY exchange rate is only around $50USD! What a deal! Overall, I would recommend this hotel if you’re coming to the Yudanaka/Nagano area for skiing, going to the Snow Monkey Park, or just to relax at the hotel / onsen. The hotel rates are very affordable as well. The three days/nights I stayed in Ryokan Biyunoyado and the two days snowboarding at Shiga Kogen were the highlight of my 10 day Japan trip (Tokyo, Nagano/Yudanaka, Osaka).
