Amazing experience!! We chose this ryokan because of its proximity to the Snow Monkey Park, and it was perfect! The staff drove us there and picked us up with our luggage to take us to the train station since we were only staying one night, and we had just enough time to get there, enjoy the monkeys and the scenery, and walk back! The public and private onsen were also amazing and I really recommend trying it if you’ve never been to one! Also, the futons here are very comfortable if you want to try one for the first time!

I really like the free ryokan shuttle bus that fetched us from Yudanaka station to the ryokan and also the free ride to the Snow Monkey Park. Staff were so helpful and polite, they loan us the shoe grippers to wear over our shoes to prevent us from falling when walking on the snowy path towards the park and that really was a good gesture. Highly recommended.

Booked a 4 bed japanese style room for 3 adults. It was a little tight in the room when the futons were laid out but they were so comfortable we all slept really well and it was great to have the opportunity to experience a more traditional room. The tea service was beautiful and we really liked the cakes. Breakfast trays were set out ready and although we didn't like everything on the tray there was plenty of the options we did like. Staff were very helpful and polite and we had lifts to the snow monkeys (go early as it gets busy) and to the station. Best of all are the onsen - they alternate so if you have two days as we did you get to go in both. The water is super hot and clear and the range of toiletries available made the whole experience feel really luxurious.

Welcoming and Modern Ryokan”
The staff we're super friendly and spoke English. Highly recommend booking the private rooftop onsen! Since it wasn't as busy, we were allowed to use the public onsen as well even though we have tattoos. The dinner and breakfast were so delicious as well!

Worth for money and excellent location”
Location is within 5min drive by free shuttle bus arranged by hotel. There are indoor and outdoor onsen open overnight and stop for cleaning between 00:00 to 01:00 for man and women separately. They shall be swopt everyday. Restaurant is big enough with tailored dinner set. Room is big with at least double size than hotel in Tokyo. Worth to stay.

Nice experience”
Biyu no yado is a very traditional type of accommodation. The building is not the newest any more but overall the facilities are great. Stayed in the tatami rooms that were great and had everything you need (living room and bedroom is the same, beds are prepared in the evening (while you are at dinner) and stored in the morning (while you are at breakfasts). The food was great and authentic and there is few other options around the town to eat out. The onsen is class and bigger than the ones seen in other hotels. Price / Value is ok, but still quite expensive if you compare with other non-typical accommodations (most likely without onsen and the typical japanese food. Free transport from station and to snow monkey park is a nice add-on.

Comfortable tatami bed”
Room is small for four people. No space to walk after bed is setup. Tatami beds are comfortable to sleep in the winter. Front desk services very good especially for the lady that spoke Chinese. She offer shuttle transfer to train station without I approaching her at first. In fact the train station located in walkable distance down the hill. One could easily reach with light baggage.

Had to pay breakfast once again”
Breakfast was included in my payment. they told me that it was a mistake on the agoda page and that breakfast is not included. I showed the staff the reservation record but he said there is nothing they can do for me. I was expecting the Japanese style breakfast and didn't want to ruin the trip with argument so just paid it again. Also I wanted to pay the dinner but they just said I can't pay dinner... no explanation. I won't recommend here.

SNOW MONKEYS”
We primarily went to stay at Ryokan Biyunoyado to see the snow monkeys & to enjoy the onsen. Meals were traditional Japanese breakfasts & dinners. The onsen was great & we almost didn't get to hike up see the snow monkeys due to heavy snowfall on the trail. We were pleasantly surprised on the morning we were to leave & found out that we were able to hike up to see the snow monkeys & still be able to catch our train as scheduled! The service from Ryokan Biyunoyado was excellent & we would not hesitate to stay there again.

Fantastic Stay”
We stayed 2 nights at this ryokan towards the end of December 2017. The trip to the ryokan from Ueno Station in Tokyo took around three hours total, involving both a shinkansen train to Nagano Station followed by a 2nd local train up to Yamanouchi. This was the only taxing part of the trip. Once we got there, the staff was exceptionally warm and helpful, the kaisaki breakfast and dinner were memorable (some travelers chose the western style breakfast, which I don't understand at all-- why travel thousands of miles to the mountains of Japan to order an omelette?) , the indoor hot springs were always clean and well maintained, and the day trip to see the snow monkeys was fantastic (but be warned, it involves a bit of a hike, and the trail is slippery during winter). The ryokan does everything it can to immerse the foreign traveler to a luxurious local hot spring culture, and I didn't have a single complaint.

A good view Ryokan with Japanese Dining Experience”
Actually I travel with my 2 elderly parents, we stay at this good modern ryokan, room is clean and spacious, has western bed , the onsen facility is good enough, they have outdoor onsen also but we cannot enjoy the view as they have partition. View from hotel lounge is very soothing, The most experience is you can enjoy a japanese style breakfast and dinner (with additional cost), we love it soooo much, very delicious and unique, the best food I think as I try 3 ryokan for this journey, all the staff is very attentive, my fave is Christine, she can speak english fluently and very helpful to elderly. A recommended place to stay when you visit Nagano and the place is only 11 minutes from the snow monkey forest area.

Great Keiseki Dinner”
We stayed in a Japenese style room to try it out and we had a great time. The Ryokan is about a 10 minute walk from the station. Although I suggest if you have luggage with you, it is an uphill walk so maybe consider a taxi. We arrived around 1pm and were told that the hotel shuttle leaving for the snow monkey mountain would be departing at 1:30pm if we wanted to join. Which we did and it ended up working out perfectly. Shuttle drops you off and picks you up again at 4pm, in time for check-in. Bathroom is adequate. The hotel is a bit older so the room I would say was not as modern. We wanted to stay here for the night because of the dinner/breakfast service. Which was amazing. Highly recommend. We rented the private onsen with real flowing hot spring water on the rooftop for a late night soak. It's about $16 for 40 minutes. Amazing after dinner. You don't get to see much because it is at night, but just being able to soak in an onsen under the dark sky up on the roof was amazing. The hotel shuttle will even drop you off at the station the next day when you leave.
