This place was a very cute, homely, with a family owned ryokan vibe. We had a nice spacious room, the biggest we had in our whole trip to Japan, with beautiful views of the surrounding mountains. The futons were so comfortable compared to other futons we slept on at other ‘trendy’ ryokans. The onsen was very nice and relaxing, they offered both private and public onsen and amenities. The styling is old fashioned but this added to the charm of the place for me and I would definitely stay here again!

We enjoyed our stay at this onsen hotel. The staff were very accommodating and made us feel welcome, and we were able to use the private onsen, which was refreshing after a long day. The only downside was that the room smelled strongly of gas due to the gas heaters, but we adjusted to it. The best part was waking up to a foot of snow! Very beautiful.

Quaint family run Ryokan that’s big enough to offer everything you’d want / need, but small enough to feel like home for a couple days. Very friendly owners. Delicious breakfast included with our stay. Outdoor onsen was beautiful; indoor “family/private” onsen was nice with kids.

He gave us drive to the snow monkey park which saved so much time and energy! Appreciate a lot! There is one private onsen which was the right size for two people. And could stay there as much as we wanted without reservation. There are two more public onsen too but we did not use this time. Staffs were all so kind and nice, will definitely want to stay here if I want ryokan again in nagano!

We were hoping to stay in a traditional ryokan with access to an onsen and Seifuso did not disappoint. The room was beautiful and the mattresses were set up when we arrived (we travelled late and arrived after 8). One of the owners drove us to the monkey park and pointed out the bus stop to get back which was seamless. Highly recommend this property for a stay! Wish we had been able to avail of their meals which looked delicious. If we're back in Yudanaka, I'd definitely stay here again.

This has been one of the best places we stayed in Japan. The room was so spacious and very cosy in the winter. The onsens were so relaxing and very clean. We booked to have dinner one night and the food was amazing, so thoughfully prepared, it was an event in itself. The location is great as it's right next to the train for Negano and the bus for the Snow Monkeys.

A true ryokan experience in a property that is 810 years old! But it looks nothing like a 810 years old building as the exterior and interior were well-maintained and kept really neat and clean. The family running this ryokan were very helpful and friendly with sorting us out during our stay. They were keen to recommend places around the vicinity and helped with our luggage forwarding. Highly recommend dining in the ryokan as well as you will be served a table full of spectacular japanese cuisine. There was also a dedicated parking space for those who drive. There is some food options and a well-stocked lawson within walking distance from the accomodation but I would recommend driving in this beautiful town. The room we got was a traditional tatami room with a sink and toilet attached to the room. In the property, there is also 3 separate onsen bath with one of them being a private onsen. The private onsen were perfect for my partner and I as we really needed the onsen during the winter period. The stay was an experience we won't forget and certainly would revisit in the near future. Thank you for the hospitality and the homemade jam!
