My family enjoyed our stay at Hotel Tsubakino. We had a traditional Japanese room with a mountain view. The sunset views from our room were very nice.
We also enjoyed the private onsen both nights of our stay. The temperature of the water fluctuated so the second night it was really hot and we were unable to stay in the water long.
We had both the Japanese breakfast and the western breakfast. The Japanese breakfast was very impressive and it was tasty - although a bit much for the morning for our kids. So we tried the western breakfast on our second morning. It was good too.
Beds were comfortable and the service was attentive and helpful.
We came for the snow monkey park and while the snow monkeys didn't show up on the day we were there, I'm still happy we visited this beautiful mountain town. Would also recommend Sushiya for dinner.

Enjoyed overall stay. The room is great. Hot springs are awesome. Vegan options for the food could be better. Make sure to check that kids are included when receiving confirmation. We didn’t and have to pay 1/4 more and it was already expensive. I checked the price online for four of us and it was exactly as we paid while booking but the confirmation letter didn’t include kids so we have to pay anyways. Otherwise happy with stay.

We did the half board option and the food and service was excellent. It was great for experiencing Japanese cuisine and culture. Staff very friendly and helpful. Close to the station and the bus to see the snow monkey park.

We stayed two nights at Hotel Tsubakino during our honeymoon. The hotel was clean and inviting, the staff were immediately welcoming, taking us into the lounge to welcome us and get us checked in, offering us complimentary drinks. The room was large, clean, well appointed and included is own hot spring fed bath. Each breakfast and dinner was served in a private dining room with multiple courses of incredible food.
Hotel Tsubakino was easily the best stay of our trip.

A friendly warm welcome and drink were received on arrival. This was our 2nd visit to Yudanaka. Very comfortable traditional rooms, and the outside onsen on the 5th floor was great. The nightly wine bar was a pleasant surprise and the Japanese breakfast was high level. Would definitely stay again !!

This hotel was so incredibly amazing in every regard. We arrived and were provided a wonderful welcome drink. We booked a western king bed with an outer room for tatami mat as there were 3 of us. The rooms were very spacious - and had large sitting area and a massage chair. The Nespresso coffee machine in room was fantastic- but the coffee machine in lobby that opened at 6 AM became my best friend. The baths in this hotel on the roof were absolutely beautiful with incredible views of the mountains. We booked the private bath too- and this would be fantastic for a celebration as had beer and champagne. The food in this hotel was 5 star and so artfully presented. It was delicious and we had a choice of Japanese or western breakfast. The Japanese breakfast was amazing. They make their own apple juice which was so yummy. The staff at this hotel were so polite, accommodating, helpful, kind, and the absolute best. This was truly a special find- and I would recommend this hotel to one and all. It was very special. Very close to train station, very quiet, and close to the Heiwa no Oka Park (largest brass Buddha) and snow monkey park. We actually walked down from Snow Monkey park to hotel thru Shiba Onsen. I loved Yudanaka, Yamanouchi, and Hôtel Tsubakino!

Located in a remote, quiet onsen town that has a beautiful view of the local mountains.
Also, if you are planning on going to Jigokudani (Snow Monkey onsen park) it is relatively easy to get to.
Staff is very friendly and helpful. Would go again if I was in the area!

We booked this hotel to experience a traditional ryokan and to celebrate the end of our three weeks in Japan. It was super expensive for our budget (we're backpackers), but SO worth it. The staff were wonderfully friendly, the rooms were spacious and beautifully designed in traditional style, and the breakfast they served (both western and traditional) were perfect. We also booked the private bath for 50 minutes (price of 2150 yen), and it was AMAZING. The only things I could complain about was the female only bath had slightly dirty water, but that could happen from people not understanding how to use the baths. We didn't get to see much of the local area, so we can't really comment on that.
Tip: If you're not familiar with Japanese food and not up for being adventurous, maybe opt for a western style breakfast. I loved my traditional breakfast, but it had a bewildering array of flavors and textures. Last breakfast they can serve you is at 8:30 am.
