The staff (owner?) was friendly and spoke to us in English. They had a place ready for our luggage before check in so we could go to the Snow Monkey Park first. We enjoyed our traditional stay. The hot spring is very hot! I only stayed in for two minutes.

Traditional Japanese inn with beautiful garden & 3 onsen. Appreciate snacks left in our room. Ryokan is 2 min walk from Yudanaka station with eateries within walking distance. Warm & friendly staff.
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!
This place is incredible, everyone was so friendly. And it’s so unique and beautiful. Everything is super accessible and easy to find. Literally only 2 minutes from train station. The food was amazing both dinner and breakfast is very worth it. I am definitely going to book 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.
The staff were so friendly - they gave us fruits and took us to snow monkey park! the onsen was incredible!

The area is so quaint and beautiful. The building is old and it shows at times, but the ascetic is worth staying in this traditional lodging. Parking is available with a sizable lot across the street.
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.
We had a great experience although we did not take advantage of the dinner that looked awesome. Traveled as a family and really enjoyed everything about it. Onsen was hot! We were off season and would love to go back during winter.
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!
Great place to rest after going to the snow monkey park!

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.
Super authentic stay with a beautiful outdoor onsen. Walked around to some great sushi areas in the area. Staff was nice and accommodating.
instant pod coffee available for morning.
