01 / TRAVEL NOTES

Time for both skiing and hot springs

Kumanoyu Hotel suits a stay centred on the Kumanoyu slopes, hot springs and hotel dinner. Choose Japanese-style, mixed or Western-style rooms by bedding as well as guest capacity. Yakebitaiyama and Okushiga are separate areas, with their own return-transport needs.

Base
Kumanoyu
Slope access
Plan separate return transport for Yakebitaiyama or Okushiga ski days.
Rooms
A ten-tatami Japanese room is listed for 1–5 guests with bath and toilet. Compare Western and mixed rooms by bedding and occupancy. The official FAQ’s approximately 5-minute walk to the ski area is a guide; allow extra time for snow and carrying equipment.
Baths & facilities
The natural hot-spring indoor and outdoor baths alternate between men and women daily. Day-use reception is weekdays 12:30–15:30 and weekends/holidays 12:30–15:00. Admission may be refused on busy days; call before setting out. Overnight-guest bathing has different conditions.
Transport
Check the Kumanoyu or Hotaru Onsen (Suzurikawa) stop against your hotel and lift entrance. Read the destination on buses from Nagano or Yudanaka; an Okushiga-bound service does not necessarily take you here. Plan a separate transfer for Yokoteyama.

The natural hot-spring indoor and outdoor baths alternate between men and women daily. Day-use reception is weekdays 12:30–15:30 and weekends/holidays 12:30–15:00. Admission may be refused on busy days; call before setting out. Overnight-guest bathing has different conditions.

Dinner is 18:00–19:30. The official FAQ says arrival after 19:30 on a dinner plan means no dinner and no refund. It also declines meal changes for allergies, religion or dislikes. Discuss any necessary arrangements before booking rather than assuming they can be provided.

Roof scaffolding is planned through mid-November 2026, with possible noise, vibration and obstructed views from some rooms. This is not a permanent closure notice. A private hotel shuttle and the full 2026–27 accommodation period remain unconfirmed.
