The staff picked us up from the JR station and a drop-off service is also available. The staff were very helpful and the private-onsens are great as you can use them with your husband/wife and they were free to use! The food was delicious and we highly recommend this hotel and the breakfast/dinner package as few restaurants are nearby.

Yamanouchi Town is located in the northern part of Nagano Prefecture, which is home to the Jigokudani Yaen Park that is inhabited with world-famous wild monkeys called "Snow Monkeys." Why not stay in this vast and popular sightseeing area, full of nature and the pleasant atmosphere of onsen (hot springs)? <a href="http://www.info-yamanouchi.net/english/ebesa-tour/index.html" target="_blank">EBESA</a> offers great value with tours that let you see, experience and fully enjoy the traditional activities in three main areas -- Shiga Kogen, Yudanaka Shibu Onsen-kyo and Kita Shiga Kogen. 
In the northern Nagano dialect, "EBESA" originally meant "Let's go."

The traditional style rooms were very well equipped and extremely comfortable, especially the futons. A highlight of our stay was the meals- the Japanese food was beautifully presented on the table, each night was different and it was delicious. The staff were very friendly even helping with origami. The hotel is well located very close to all of Nara's attractions and transport. A most memorable experience - thank you.

From the moment I stepped into the ryokan it felt very friendly and comfortable. The staff were the most helpful staff I have ever met even going so far as to pick us up from the station and take our luggage. Oishiya is easy to find as it is situated just a few hundred meters away from the sea front. The food is AMAZING! I have never eaten so much food that is that delicious and you don't have to lift a finger. I will recommend Oishiya to everyone in England.
