Hotel Overview

Where

A convenient ten minute walk from Yudanaka’s train station and 25 minutes by car from Shiga-Koen’s Sun Valley ski resort.

Rooms at Yudanaka View

Stripped back, sleek and retaining a traditional, Japanese charm, Yudanaka View Hotel offers a choice of tatami mats or Western bedding. Ask for a room on the ninth floor, where you can enjoy your own private tub with a mountain view.

Food and facilities

Hop into one of the hotel’s indoor or outdoor hot-spring ‘onsens’, a regional highlight and remedy for aching traveller’s bones. Then, slip on your complementary yukata (traditional bathrobes) before tucking into the hotel’s exquisite Japanese meals. The set menu is comprised of 7-11 courses, and is sure to delight even the most sceptical of diners. Pluck mushrooms from their stump to roast over your own personal grill – locals even get to take the stump home with them to grow their own.
