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...

Fabulous stay and fantastic hosts.
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%.

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.

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!

Disliked: Cleanliness
Der Ryokan hat einen urigen scharm jedoch lassen sich hygienische Bedingungen zu wünschen übrig. Es ist sehr schade, den der Ryokan liegt in einem ruhigen Ort und ist zu Fuß ca 10 min vom Bahnhof Yudanaka entfernt. Die Gastgeber, ein älteres Ehepaar sind sehr nett und lieb und sind steht's bemüht mit ihren Möglichkeiten, den Gästen zu Seite zu stehen. Hier wird kaum Englisch gesprochen. Wenn die Sanitäranlagen und die Räume eine ordentliche Renovierung bekommen würden und die Reinigung insgesamt sich verbessern würde, wäre es ein sehr schöner Ryokan.

とても親切な昔ながらの旅館
ご飯なしの素泊まりで利用。おじさん・おばさんに暖かくお迎え頂きました。昔ながらの旅館で玄関から部屋まで階段多く、遠くて寒い。部屋はエアコンとガスファンヒータがあり暖かいが廊下は寒くて、トイレ・お風呂行くにも決意が必要。お風呂はシャワーの出が悪い。外湯は非常に熱くて快適。

家族経営ですが、お客さんは少ないようで細かい所まで手が入っていません。他のお客さんに気を使う事がないことと、廉価なことを思えば悪くはないかもしれません。

Let me start by saying that the hosts are super friendly and supportive. They pick you up from the train station and will drop you at the entrance of the famous monkey park. The place itself was very cold. You can warm your room, but in the hallways you could blow condense fog. When having to use the shared bathroom you really dress up. There’s only one shower and there’s absolutely no pressure so showering wasn’t great. The shower is in the same space as the hot spring and the window is always open. So it was very cold and no water pressure this was not ideal. But when cold you can get in the hot tub which is really hot. Overall I think for what they offer it is too expensive. Nice people for sure and the rooms are large, but that’s about it.
