Nice little village, beautiful landscape. About Seifu-so there's nothing more to say than perfect!!! The food was delicious, the rooms and the building itself are authentically Japanese and really beautiful. The hot spring was relaxing..... but above all the family and staff were so warmhearted, friendly and helpful. I've never stayed in such a great accommodation before. Thank you so much for everything!!!

Wonderful ryokan run by a warm and friendly family. The place was very clean and charming. Taking a dip in the onsen made me feel like I was in heaven. I highly recommend this place.

This was a wonderful, family run ryokan. It is not a party place, but was instead very peaceful and relaxing. There was private onsen that could be used by anyone at any time. The only downside was that the shower was not in the bathroom but outside with the onsen. Since we had a hot-tub every night then showered right after, this did not really pose a problem. Wonderful place! I would stay there again and highly recommend it to anyone going to Yudanaka.

I booked this ryokan Seifu-so because I heard about it from my friend. We walked to the Wile Monkey Park, of course. Thank you very much for the warm and kind welcome. We've enjoyed this ryokan very much and appreciated both of the inside and outside baths. The room was clean and quiet which gave us a comfortable rest. The ryokan is also convenienetly located near the Yudanaka station while very calm.

We found Seifu-so on the web site JapanHotel.net and thought it souded and looked great. The ryokan is easy to find - just short minute from the Yudanaka station. We were welcomed very warmly by every staff and also given the information about monkey park and the bus that goes there. The owner even drove us there himself! The ryokan itself is great - clean, comfortable and warm. The food is great and the baths too. Especially the outdoor one. We can highly recommend this ryokan.

The room has a really nice atmosphere. We will definitely recommend to our friends. The slide doors and the futon, we enjoyed very much. It was easy to find. We saw the snow monkeys and enjoyed the private onsen as well. The staff were very friendly and helpful!

Room was impecable and well furnished. Very clean and charming. Everything you would hope for from a well runned ryokan. Staff were very attentive and friendly. We had a very warm welcom. Ryokan is well located, conviniently close to station and a bus ride away from Monkey bath. Highly recommended, we would definitely come back!

The proprietor's friendliness and hospitality more than makes up for the somewhat dated facility (its heyday was likely in 1975.) The owner drove us directly to the Jigokudani Monkey Park (the main local attraction), cooked us a fantastic traditional Japanese breakfast, and went out of his way to make us feel comfortable -- even serving us sake shots in the hotel's own "onsen" hot spring! We had a great stay.

I have really enjoyed my stay at Seifuso. The hotel has a lovely atmosphere and the staff are incredibly freindly. As a traveler, traveling on my own, I felt very safe and well looked after. During my stay, I enjoyed the onsen, the snow monkeys, and yummy breafast in the morning. Thank you.

Yudanaka was a pleasant and short train trip from Nagano and the ryokan is only a couple of minutes walk from the station. The room was a fantastic classic Japanese room, very large and comfortable with beautiful furnishings. Staff were friendly and helpful. The owner even took us to see the snow monkeys and the baths, especially the outdoor one were great. This place is a good choice for people on a budget as long as they don't mind a slightly run-down atmosphere and a less-than-impressive breakfast. Make sure you ask for the big room. It's lovely and great value.

The ryokan has a pleasant atmosphere. Almost as though you are staying at a friend’s home. The outdoor ofuro was extremely beautiful and relaxing. I felt very secured at all times. One recommendation I have is to maybe to post a map or better directions on the Hostelworld website. The staff was very kind and attentive to our needs.

We liked this place very much, very cute, clean and welcoming atmosphere. We felt very safe and rooms has safe, and doors are lockable. Easy to find and locals very helpful if you happen to need it. Monkey park is the best! Very very good! Very helpful and friendly staff. Thank you for making our stay special.
