Loved this hotel. Was next to the ski slopes. Staff was friendly and the spa was incredible!!
We enjoyed the rich history and culture of this resort. Every single staff member was excellent, warm, very helpful. Highly recommend everyone to experience this resort. We will stay again and again
Historical hotel. People are very very nice. Very good service, all our family had good time. The food is also very good. Local source, prepared with the heart. The only thing is I suggest hotel use locker for the snowboard storage.
This was the unexpected highlight of the trip. We booked here as our first location option at gala was full, and what a surprise it was. It's very Japanese for a westerner but a beautiful experience. Very warm and clean.
This ryokan has an excellent hot spring on-site. Their breakfast is excellent, and the staff were kind and accommodating. The room was quiet and very comfortable. However, most of the restaurants in Yuzawa close at 7 pm during the off-season (summer), so their shuttles don't run after 6 or 7 pm during the week. It can be a bit inconvenient.
