Summary: A beautiful and rustic ryokan run by a lovely older couple and their son. The building and it’s location are incredible, just a short walk from Yudanaka Station and Shibu Onsen.

Summary: Owners are nice people. Seems family-owned, so very traditional and homely. However, facilities are extremely dated, and there were cobwebs everywhere, which made me highly doubt the cleanliness...

Summary: Hosts are gracious and kind. We were picked up at the train station and taken to the monkey park right away. Driver met us to return us to the inn and took us to train station the next day. Inn is very old and needs some maintenance but it is clean and historically beautiful. Very reasonably priced and conveniently located for a walk to dinner. We stayed in July and we had A/C in the room but the open air was nice in the morning and evening.

Summary: This is a fantastic stay. The owners are super friendly and helpful. The breakfast was exceptional. The onsen is great. Everyone should try and stay in a ryokan while in Japan. They were very kind in waiting for me to turn up and check in later (10pm). I would recommend 100%.

Summary: Super cool older building. They could advertise the public onsen down the road better. Not much english, but its a very very cool place to stay.

Summary: Maruka Ryokan is charming and unique place to stay in Yudanaka. Pros: The staff are very extremely kind and helpful, and despite our language barriers, they were able to share essential information. Breakfast is a delight - would highly recommend getting. The common hot bath is wonderful especially since the common areas tend to be quite cold. Our room was very spacious, with a traditional tatami mat area for sleeping and very comfortable blankets, a sitting room with a large window overlooking the garden and nearby temple for morning tea and small snacks that the staff replenish daily, and an attached washroom with sink only. Location is great, only 8-9 minutes of walking distance of the train station and major bus lines. Things to know: Most rooms share communal toilet and shower areas. Common areas are not well insulated from the cold. Rooms warm up quickly with use of electric heaters. This is not a high end onsen hotel; facilities are fairly modest but clean. Bottom line: Would recommend staying here for a unique and homey ryokan experience, if you’re looking for peace and quiet, and if you don’t need a lot of amenities!

Summary: This was our first stay in a Japanese Ryokan. We had read good reviews and the reviews were exactly on point. This is not somewhere to stay if you want western luxury, but it is somewhere to stay if you want a warm, kind welcome and a real taste of traditional japanese. Our room was spacious and had a little sitting area by the window where we were provided tea and snacks every day. I don't understand Japanese heating given the constant supply of hot water in the mountains, but the only heating provided was a small gas heater. It really did warm to room up well, but it was quite chilly when it wasn't on. So be prepared for that in the winter! As with many ryokans there was no bathroom in the room. There was a toilet (one for women one for men)down the corridor and a communal sink for teeth etc. The bathroom is the onsen. Took us a while to figure it out! The communal Onsen has a sign on the door. If you flip it to 'private' then no one will come in. Inside the onsen there is a shower and little stool where you can sit and wash yourself. All the toiletries are nice and provided. Once you are fully clean you can go in the bath which is by the shower. It's a bit shabby in this room, but it's clean and the water is amazing! We had to add some cool water as it was too hot. The couple who run the Ryokan, are clearly proud of their hotel. They wanted to know where we were from (they didn't speak any English and we don't speak Japanese) so Google translate helped! They were so kind!
