Staying away from home can feel different from everyday life, and it’s not uncommon to end up tense, unable to relax, and even more tired than usual. But at Shoraiso, that never happened—I could truly unwind whether I was in my Room or in the lounge (I slept soundly even with a different pillow). I think it’s because of the comfortable sense of distance and the welcoming atmosphere created by everyone on staff and by Shoraiso as a whole. Everything was wonderful: the Room, the Onsen, the meals (especially the delicious broth in the clear soup), and the lounge. Next time as well, I’d like to stop by Obuse first and then visit Shoraiso again. It was a truly enjoyable trip—thank you very much.

We stayed for one night and two days. The Room surrounded the garden, so it was very quiet and relaxing. We really felt the hospitality with welcome drinks, a coffee machine, and snacks, and we were impressed by the late-night snack. The meals were generous and very delicious. The soba noodles and river fish were especially outstanding. There are two baths in the building, and you can also use Yorozuya’s Momoyama Bath and the public bath Oyu. The in-house baths can be reserved for private use for 30 minutes. The Momoyama Bath was amazing. The outdoor bath water was quite lukewarm, so we didn’t stay long. During our stay, everyone spoke to us in a friendly way, which made our time truly comfortable. We would definitely like to stay again.

This year, as my father retired and we had more time, we planned a family trip. It was our first time visiting Yudanaka Onsen, and from the moment we arrived at the parking lot, our expectations were high. While unloading our luggage without even calling for assistance, the staff came out to guide us. I immediately felt that this might be an excellent accommodation choice. The view of the Shinshu Five Peaks from our room on the 4th floor was stunning, and having two toilets and sinks in the room was a pleasant surprise. Above all, the staff's hospitality and meals were outstanding. The staff spoke calmly yet provided clear explanations and promptly answered any questions about food or sightseeing—it was truly impressive. The meals were so delicious that every family member said they wanted to eat them again! From Shinshu beef to Shinshu salmon, everything was perfectly prepared. Even small dishes like dressings or sauces had exquisite flavors! The balance of flavors in dishes like sweet vinegar sauce or pickled items left us amazed at how delicious they could be when done right. For our family, everything about this stay was perfect. We will definitely return again—thank you very much!

We arrived at the Ryokan while admiring the cherry blossoms in full bloom along the Yomase River at night. The Ryokan was quiet and relaxing, and we were able to fully enjoy an extraordinary getaway in a very comfortable setting. Every dish was carefully prepared and memorably delicious. The baths, lounge, and other facilities were clean, and we were able to use them comfortably. If I may make one request, we would rate it even higher if alcoholic beverages in the private lounge could be available until a little later, as we are big fans of drinks! Lastly, we were truly impressed by the staff’s consistently courteous service and warm hospitality throughout our stay. Thank you very much to the proprietress and all of the staff.

The service was just right for me—not over the top, not overly elaborate, and not trying too hard to be different. I stayed for a Multiple Night Stay, and I was pleasantly surprised that the meals on the second day were even better. Rather than simply being “upgraded,” they really showcased the careful, delicate qualities of kaiseki cuisine. The Momoyama bath is truly impressive. You can take photos during a short time in the morning, and there’s also an explanatory tour by the staff, which I enjoyed. Soaking slowly in the clear Onsen with its high alkalinity helped me relax deeply, and I felt refreshed both physically and mentally.

We were both very satisfied to be able to see cherry blossoms in full bloom from the open-air bath, close enough to feel within reach. It was delicious—and a first-time experience—to pick shiitake mushrooms ourselves from a cultivation kit at dinner, grill them, and eat them. It was also nice to move to the lobby for dessert. The staff were very attentive as well. The only downside was that the Facility felt a bit old, but it was a good Hotel.

Thank you very much for your hospitality. The Onsen and meals were excellent. We stayed as a family of five and had a wonderful time. The staff were very friendly, making our stay pleasant. We would love to visit again. This is a highly satisfying Ryokan!

The parking lot was spacious and convenient. The Room was clean and functional! The only slight dissatisfaction was the lack of a nearby convenience store, but while exploring, I found a yakiniku restaurant and enjoyed a delicious dinner. I appreciated the staff's thoughtful gestures, such as the handmade map.

For an affordable Hotel like this, the buffet was very satisfying. The bath was also great. The private family bath is free, though it can only be used once for 30 minutes, and the Room was spacious—overall, the value for money is outstanding. The toilet is basic, so I’d like to see it renovated. In terms of value for money, I have no complaints—5/5 overall.

Stayed overnight after skiing at Shiga Kogen After check-in, straight to the open-air bath! Then draft beer at the all-you-can-drink corner. There were snacks too—the mixed nuts were delicious. Dinner buffet featured teppanyaki beef, with red wine, and plenty of other options. Breakfast was tasty as well. If I didn’t have to drive, I’d have enjoyed the all-you-can-drink from the morning too (lol). The building is old, but they’ve clearly worked hard on renovations. The woman at reception also made a great impression. It’s a shame that the dead grass seen from the road makes it look a bit like an abandoned place. I’ll be back.

The location is convenient, being relatively close to the station even if you come by car. The room felt like a renovated apartment and had a clean atmosphere. The Onsen with natural hot spring water was enjoyable, offering hotter baths for those who prefer them, and the sauna was sufficient despite closing at 9 PM. It was a No Meals Included stay, but the izakaya in the same building offered affordable prices with satisfying options like game meat dishes, snacks, and drinks. For breakfast, bread and coffee were available; you could even take it to go in its packaging if you're in a hurry and eat it in your car. While there were minor issues such as weak WIFI connection, an older building structure, or no water dispenser available—these are small concerns considering the quality provided at this price point. If you're looking for more luxurious services, paying accordingly would be necessary; however, I personally would love to stay here again!

I stayed here during the Obuse Marathon. Despite my early departure, they kindly prepared rice balls and tea for me, which I greatly appreciated. The warm smiles when welcoming and sending me off made for a wonderful stay.

This Onsen was perfect for us, as we prefer mildly warm water. Some Reviews mentioned it gets crowded with day-trip visitors, but perhaps due to the season, it wasn’t too busy. We relaxed in the open-air bath with its milky-white Onsen water. The meals were also excellent, featuring creative dishes such as simmered stir-fried Japanese spikenard, deep-fried char with black vinegar sauce, and maitake mushroom rice. It’s an Onsen we’d love to visit again.

Both dinner and breakfast were very delicious. The dishes were also wonderful! We enjoyed them at a leisurely pace. The bath had a retro and nostalgic feel. The cave bath was lovely. The staff were kind, and we had a pleasant stay. I definitely want to visit again. Thank you for taking care of us.

The ski slope is immediately to the left as soon as you step out the entrance, so it was great that we could change into our gear in the Room and head straight out. The Onsen was also relaxing and enjoyable. The staff were wonderful—everyone was smiling and kindly answered our questions. The building is old, but it was clean and didn’t bother us. It snowed until early morning, then cleared up around 9 a.m., giving us perfect conditions.

This time, I used the accommodation only for an overnight stay during my trip back home. I stayed in the same room with my son's family, and the room was spacious and could be divided into Japanese-style and Western-style areas, which was very convenient. Since the outdoor bath is open only until 10 PM, it can feel a bit rushed if you check in late! It would be even more convenient if the hotel's shop were available for use.
