The whole stay was a great experience. The staff were amazingly helpful. We needed to be picked up from the station and they came. I needed a PowerPoint adapter abd tgey were able to loan me one. We needed to get back to the station earlier than their set time abd tgey accommodated us. Well done guys, it was great.

Fantastic ryokan within Shibu Onsen - the rooftop spring are so nice that we barely felt the need to leave the town, and the food and service was amazing

We had a wonderful two night stay here, one in a traditional Japanese room and one in a modern Japanese room. The staff did everything to make us welcome; they are super friendly and helpful. You have everything you need for a stay in an onsen town. The kaiseki dinner was delicious - served in a dining room not in the room, and breakfast wonderful too. The roof level onsen is clean and tidy and has great views from the outside pools - the men's more so as the women's have a bamboo discretion fence. But you can see over it. Collected and dropped at Yudanaka station to meet our trains Heartily recommend.

Ryokan Suminoyu was absolutely wonderful. We had a traditional Japanese room with two twin futons. The bathroom and shower were modern and lovely. The staff spoke English and were very gracious about our attempts to speak Japanese. The location is perfect; tucked on a quaint street in the heart of Shibu Onsen. We were picked up from the Yudanaka Station by the staff who monitored our train arrival time and were there to retrieve us when we arrived. There were also two very convenient morning shuttles to the Snow Monkey park. The walk back was down hill and only took 25 minutes. There were cabs there if you needed one. We were absolutely delighted with our Kaiseki style dinners and breakfasts. They were prepared and served beautifully and the wait staff were very gracious in explaining the various dishes and in what order to eat them. I cannot praise Ryokan Suminoyu enough. Thank you to the staff for making our first Ryokan and Onsen experience one we will never forget.

Lovely ryokan experience at a reasonable price! Felt like a new property, with great rooms, food, and hospitality for our entire stay. Highly recommended for your first time staying at a ryokan, especially in an onsen village

The staff were so kind and helpful, and the included meals were exquisite. We were picked up from Yudanaka station and driven to the Snow Monkey Park the next morning. The location is within a block of two public onsens, but the hotel’s own onsen is even nicer and well-appointed.

A lovely traditional Ryokan. The staff were lovely and welcoming and went out of their way to make our stay memorable. They offer free collection and delivery to the train station and drop off to the snow monkey resort. The food is beautifully presented and very traditional. They also have a lovely onsen to enjoy.

Had a lovely stay at this Ryokan and would highly recommended it. Staff were kind & accomandating and made sure I felt welcome as a solo traveller. When they heard I intended to visit the monkey park the day I arrived, they especially arranged for transportation to take me there. The ryokan is english-friendly, especially my server for dinner who could hold a conversation. Food featured local ingredients and was excellent.

Judanaka station transfers were so very convenient for us as well as the transfers to Snow Monkey Park. The staff were incredibly patient and helpful even though we did not speak Japanese. The food served was really incredible. Even the kids meal was very thoughtfully planned and tasty. Location was perfect, it was so close to the shrine and a tiny play area with snow for kids was right next door. They also had a foot bath and next to an area with foot baths. The onsen on site was very nice especially the outdoor one. Not crowded at all. We had everything we needed, even great espresso at the front desk. We loved our stay.

Definitely the best decision to change our booking (for 03 families) to Suminoyu Ryokan as the overall stay was a superb one right from the start. It was also a 2nd time stay in this ryokan for one of us. Lady proprietor greeted us warmly outside the ryokan after we had parked our cars and her team immediately sprang into action welcoming and helping us with the bags and parking. It had snowed the night before so the roads were snowed in and iced and very cold. As we were heading into snow monkey park, lady boss was concerned with the ladies' footwear and gladly offered her personal snow boots to 2 of our female travellers. The rooms were clean, cosy and well maintained taking into account that the ryokan was fully booked. Dinner and breakfast were served in a room separated for each travelling party. Service were prompt and excellent especially from a lady staff ( Filipina) who is always obliging and smiley. The Onsen on the top floor was good and we enjoyed hot soaks daily with an awesome view of the mountain range. Check out was swift and the farewell experience from lady owner and her team was with the highest recognition to their guests. They stood and waited to bid goodbye out in the cold even when we gestured that we would take a while to get ready. Overall it was a great stay and the experience we had was exceptional from the team in Suminoyu Ryokan. Thank you Suminoyu Ryokan, we will sure to be back!
