Uotoshi Ryokan  

Tucked into Yamanouchi, Nagano — a short walk from Yudanaka Hot Spring and Shiga Kogen Ski Area. Yumiya and Nishimiya Shrines are steps away; Jigokudani Monkey Park is about 4.6 km (2.8 mi). This pet-friendly, family-friendly ryokan puts mountain trails and onsen culture on your doorstep.

An intimate ryokan with just 8 guestrooms. Rooms feature flat-screen TVs, blackout curtains, slippers and hair dryers; irons and ironing boards are available on request.
