I like the hospitality of the Hotel especially Heday-san. He picked us up and dropped us off at the train station, gave us explanation about the area clearly. The hotel has private onsen and it’s very nice. I highly recommend to stay in this hotel.

Traditional Ryokan with a fantastic host
Posted 4 Mar 2018
Pros: Heday! He was the surprising highlight of the trip!
Cons: The hotel is old and tired, but honestly, it adds to the character of the experience. Maybe add heaters to the common spaces for warmth in the winter.
Location: Snow monkeys, skiing, apple orchards, typical rural life in Japan, excellent food!
Bozanso is the perfect base for skiing or snow monkeys. Heday, your host, is an absolute character who LOVES the Rolling Stones and the Beatles. He also LOVES Yamanouchi town which is where he was born. He will go out of his way to make sure you have a wonderful experience. He will happily pick you up and drop you off anywhere you want to go. He speaks English and is interested in learning about your life, and he knows all of the great restaurants (please take his advice! You won't be sorry!). The hotel itself is a little old and a little tired and a little cold in the common areas (February), but Heday's personality and friendliness make up for the deficiencies. Your room will be a traditional Japanese room with a futon, excellent pillows, big fluffy comforter, and an oil heater to heat the room quickly (just use it to heat the room initially, then use the electric heater, as CO2 is a problem with oil heaters, as well as being a fire hazard. You'll be perfectly warm once the room warms up). Enjoy the onsen (traditional public bathhouse); tell Heday if it's too hot and he will add colder water to cool it down. Take advantage of the traditional Japanese breakfast, which Heday's wife makes. It's a delicious, random selection of food. You'll come away from your stay with a new friend, funny memories, and an appreciation for a person who loves his business, his community, and his lifestyle. I highly recommend staying at Bozanso.

Heday makes the Day
Posted 2 Mar 2018 on OrbitzWonderfully spacious traditional rooms and amenities. Enjoyed the onsen—used it twice a day. Heday takes special care of everyone who comes. If you get a chance, go witness the monkeys deep in the woods.

Amazing experience
Posted 25 Jan 2018 on HotelsMy one night at Bozanso was amazing! I enjoyed everything from the kotatsu to onsen and especially the hospitality of Heday-san. He picked us up, helped with the train, drove us to Snow Monkey park. I loved it so much!

Great for families
Posted 28 Dec 2017 on HotelsA wonderful stay in the mountains. Heday our host was great! Very helpful and good for a laugh!! Picked us up and dropped us off at the station ( in the heavy snow). The meals were fantastic! Onsen was great after a hard day walking. Heaps of space in the rooms and the lobby area for my kids (2 and 5 years old) to run around. Walking distance to Shibu Onsen town. Heday also took us to the monkey park. The ryokan is old fashioned but it suited us fine. Most ryokans are old fashioned it’s part of the charm. Highly recommended

Lots of Space, Amazing Host
Posted 14 Jul 2017
Pros: Amazing host, pretty views, lots of space, nice, very hot onsen, location
Location: Near Yudenaka station-nearby is the Monkey Park, which is absolutely worth a visit.
We have found it difficult to find places that will accommodate our family in one room while travelling in Asia--Bozanso offered a lovely room consisting of an area with two futons for the kids and comfortable beds for the adults-it was a pretty 15 min walk from train station in the evening when we arrived and a pleasure to wake up to misty, mountainous views in the morning.
The very best thing about the place was our wonderful host, and other reviews indicated the same--Heday-San met us at the train, took our bags, got us some (much needed!) umbrellas, and showed us where we could get a nice dinner, presenting several options. When we made our way to the hotel later, our bags were in our room, slippers were waiting for us at the door, and he kindly offered not only to take us to the Monkey park in the morning but to pick us up and take us to the train station in time for our departing train as well--he was charming, funny, and so very generous with his time--
Thanks for a great stay--would happily recommend this to anyone spending a night in order to visit this lovely town or to visit the Monkey Park. I wish we could have spent one additional day to explore this very pretty town as well.

Friendly and welcoming
Posted 20 Dec 2016 on HotelsThis hotel was the best one we have stayed in. We were so grateful to Heyday-San and his wife. They made us feel so welcome and like we were invited guests at his house. We would recommend Bozanso to everyone.

整體不錯
Posted 16 Feb 2018房間是有浴室及厠所，早晚餐都不錯，溫泉男女各一個池很舒服(只有室内)，樓高三層是没有電梯(但员工熱情幫手，要给讚！) 住一晚溫馨提示 : 要去地獄谷野猿公苑 (4點関門) 最好第一天大早到酒店先去 (火車站至酒店車程約5-7分鐘)，隔天去會趕不及回來 check out , 隔天行理就需要寄存火車站，(¥500件) 步行上下山最少一小時，酒店只會安排早上到公園門口(不安排回程)，回程方法 A巴士 (¥310位)到火車站(中途站不到酒店的)B，的士要预約一台約¥1800-2000台 C，步行1小時左右。隔天老闆很好先送我們到火車站寄存行理¥ 500一件後送我們到公園門口 老闆要給讚！
