Ryokan Biyunoyado

We stayed 2 nights at this delightful ryokan. We chose a western style room with a private onsen. It was a thoroughly enjoyable experience and more than we had imagined. Our room was quite large, and had an outdoor onsen with a spectacular view of the mountains. The meals were fresh and delicious, especially the amazing fish. The owner, Yuki, is so gracious and very accommodating to any need you might have, from a ride to the train, to whisking you off to the snow monkey park (we saw over 100 monkeys), or taking you to a massage appointment. Yuki takes immense pride in her hotel and it truly shows!

“Japanese traditional experience”

Ryokan Biyunoyado I enjoyed staying this traditional ryokan with onsen very much. Gorgeous place!

Ryokan Biyunoyado I enjoyed staying this traditional ryokan with onsen very much. Gorgeous place! Our lovely double tatami room had the essence of the Japan design: fresh smell of straw from the tatami mat as you step into the room, low table, clean lines. In addition to the main bedroom there were small but separate toilet, tub and sitting rooms, and we enjoyed stepping out to our balcony, over-looking over the town below. The onsen experience was very special. We wore the yukata and shoes left for us in our room and went there and back to the gender segregated pools (2 in, 1 out), very comfortable. I especially enjoyed the black rock against my back. The combination of hot water soak followed by huge dinner after full day results in good sleep.

“Beautiful food, traditional service, snow monkeys!”

We stayed in a traditional 10 tatami room. Onsen bathing had outdoor pool and indoor pool. Love the onsen bathing pajamas and dinner coat to dine in (green). Felt like a cultural immersion and throwback in time! The first day was in outdoor pool and got to enjoy the full bloom of the cherry blossom… lisää

We stayed in a traditional 10 tatami room. Onsen bathing had outdoor pool and indoor pool. Love the onsen bathing pajamas and dinner coat to dine in (green). Felt like a cultural immersion and throwback in time! The first day was in outdoor pool and got to enjoy the full bloom of the cherry blossom trees on the other side of privacy wall. The breakfast and dinner service was ample. Note for westerners this is traditional food so western breakfast can be requested but won’t be offered as option. Read all reviews as many are accurate. This is a great value of property. Our hostess Yuki was gracious, helpful and knows and loves Yamanouchi town. There were mainly Japanese guests which is a great sign of authentic service. They run shuttles to the snow monkey park and will do for ski slopes next year. We never even used the in room shower room (used as drying for towels/clothes) it is traditional and old-school (sit down shower definitely for smaller people) as we went to onsen every day. Optimal stay time is 2 or 3 days. Staff was very gracious and helpful. Pro tip, check live monkey cam. We went to park and there were 100s of monkeys. The next day a couple went and there were only a few. The troupe had gone to forage in the jungle so you can check the morning of.

This was our third stay at Biyunoyado. We brought friends with us this time and they enjoyed the visit so much! Every time we stay here, it is a new experience. Yuki & Masao are the most wonderful hosts. They treated us like we were the most important guests in the building! In the evening, we experienced a Geisha event downstairs in the common area followed by a mini-reception with the other guests staying at the property. There was a lot of mingling and chatting, it was a very enjoyable one-of a kind experience. The staff were very attentive to our needs while we enjoyed the evening. As always, the Kaiseki meals were beautifully presented, delicious and filling. The dining spaces are quiet with full views of the surrounding town. Our guest room had a private Onsen in the room. We used it well into the night because it was very peaceful and quiet in the area. There is a shuttle to and from Yudanaka station, but I would recommend to take the 10 minute walk from the station to the property. The town is very peaceful and picturesque with the mountains in the backdrop. Biyunoyado is an extremely good place to stay if you wish to fully detach from the busy world. John C.
