Wafu-No-Yado Masuya

Wanted a traditional ryokan experience and this ryokan ticked all the boxes! Service was so personable, and the food was so so delicious. Rooms were of decent size as well. Can’t recommend this enough. FYI that there is a pickup service from Yudanaka station to the ryokan. They can send you to the monkey park / Yudanaka station in the morning. If you’re going to the snow monkey park, the ryokan can send your luggage to Yudanaka train station (free) so that you can pick it up when you’re heading from the snow monkey park back to Yudanaka.

ladies running the inn were exceptional, exemplary of Japanese hospitality. building had a lot of character and had an amazing stay. kaiseki was also delicious. worth every cent for people who want a ryokan experience.

My stay at this ryokan in Shibu Onsen was an unforgettable experience! From the moment we arrived, the hospitality was impeccable. The ryokan features private onsen that can be booked in advance, offering an intimate and serene experience. Soaking in the warm, mineral-rich waters while gazing at the surrounding natural beauty was a highlight of the trip. The ryokan’s free shuttle service made exploring the area incredibly convenient. We were easily transported to the iconic Snow Monkey Park, the nearby train station, and other local attractions, which added to the seamless experience. The dining experience was nothing short of spectacular. Both private breakfast and dinner were served in a tranquil setting, with beautifully prepared dishes showcasing the best of seasonal and local ingredients. The flavors were authentic and delicious,

Room was comfortable and clean. Only wish that the onsen hours are longer.

Really nice place to stay if you visit the monkey park and onsen village. Dinner and breakfast were stunning! And the staff were so friendly and helpful.

Great service. Great value for money!! Nice spacious room and good food. Super nice onsen and open after dinner! From 3pm -9am next morning. Very good !!
