Andaikan

The food was the standout for us: a lavish dinner that left us stuffed and happy, followed by breakfast the next morning even though we thought we'd have no room left. Free parking was a nice bonus, though working out which marked spot was ours in the lot was confusing, even with a translator. It was one of our favorite stays in Japan, despite the rooms not being new or perfect, the location not being especially convenient, and the baths not being the best in town. The charm and care made us feel like part of the family. The rustic rooms felt lived in, everything was explained well despite the language barrier, and we slept very well on the comfortable futons. For an affordable onsen stay, I don't think you can beat it. They were so gracious that we wished we'd stayed more than one night.

I stayed by myself in July 2025. The food was amazing, and the onsen was very well maintained. If the owner offers you a lift to the monkey park, take it. I rented an electric bicycle near the train station thinking I could ride up, but the incline was just too steep. Unless you're an extremely fit triathlete, don't try cycling up there.

The owner was so welcoming and kindly drove us to the Snow Monkey park and the train station. There's an onsen on site, and breakfast was a great Japanese-style one. A very nice place, and we'll definitely stay again.

The owner greeted us at Yusadaikan Hotel with a big smile and was friendly, helpful, and entertaining. The place felt like a peaceful, cozy slice of traditional Japan, and the meals were full of flavor and care. Yudanaka was a lovely place to slow down and take in Japanese culture, away from the everyday rush. Thanks to Yusadaikan Hotel for making our trip to Japan unforgettable.
