Question

I want to see wild Japanese macaques bathing in hot springs, so I'm going to Wild snow monkey park in Nagano Prefecture. I'm planning to stay one night in Nagano, but I'll be using public transportation such as trains and buses, so I'd like to know some recommended hot spring inns around Yudanaka Station. I'd like to stay around Yudanaka Onsen or Shibu Onsen.

We recommend this inn because it is conveniently located for accessing Wild snow monkey park using the public transportation in Shibu Onsen. You can also dine in a private dining room. The kaiseki cuisine is made using seasonal ingredients. The hot springs are provided in private rooms with open-air baths. If you choose the all-inclusive plan, the cost of drinks and snacks is included, so you can enjoy your meal with sake that goes well with the food.

It takes about 40 minutes by train to get to Wild snow monkey park where the monkeys are. It takes about 20 minutes to walk from Ryokan (Japanese inn) to Yudanaka Station, but it's only a 4-minute taxi ride away, so it's not that far. The spacious Yumedono public bath is a natural spring that draws water from Jigokudani. You can also enjoy a stroll through the retro townscape nearby.

Kanbayashi Hotel Senjukaku is located about 2km from Wild snow monkey park, and is a hot spring inn where you can feel close to the rich nature of Nagano Prefecture. You can enjoy the luxury of 100% natural hot spring water in the quaint open-air bath set in the garden. It is relatively easy to access, about 15 minutes by bus from Yudanaka Station on the Nagano Electric Railway. The meals, which use plenty of local ingredients such as Shinshu beef, are also highly rated.

The inn is located on a hill in Yudanaka Onsen town, about a 7-minute walk from the station. A free shuttle bus runs from the inn to Wild snow monkey park every day, making it very convenient. There are rooms from which you can enjoy a panoramic view of the hot spring town or the mountain scenery. There is a large public bath, an open-air bath with natural 100% natural hot spring water, and a private hot spring on the rooftop, so you can enjoy the hot springs in the building while relaxing and taking in the night view of the hot spring town and the night sky.

Located almost in the center of Shibu Onsen, this three-story wooden Japanese-style Ryokan (Japanese inn) exudes the warmth of wood. Founded in the Edo period, the facilities are old, but not particularly inconvenient, and the atmosphere inside the building is wonderful, with plenty of the hot spring atmosphere of Shibu Onsen still remaining. For around 10,000 yen depending on the season, you can have breakfast and dinner in your room, allowing you to relax and unwind.

I recommend Hakuunro Ryokan (Japanese inn). It is conveniently located just a 2-minute walk from Yudanaka Station. This traditional hot spring inn has a retro atmosphere that is refreshing in this day and age, and I think it will be a valuable experience. The baths are free-flowing and can be used 24 hours a day. As it is a simple hot spring, the water is gentle on the skin. Meals can be served in your room, allowing you to enjoy the flavors of Shinshu.
