The onsen building is incredible, the lobby is like being in a movie set, the rooms are spacious and comfortable and the meals are next level.

The onsen and the true Japanese experience.

Beautiful traditional bathhouse!

A wonderful ryokan experience at a well-established property. Staff were warm and accommodating. The onsen is amazing, though women can enjoy the better of the two bathhouses for the prime hours of the day. Meals were amazing. Yukata are provided for use during your stay. Wear them all around the property (to bathe, to dinner). It is part of the enjoyment.

The service, food, and room were all excellent. We really appreciated the English translations of the breakfast and dinner menus. The open-air bath is the best I've ever experienced. Thank you for a wonderful stay, looking forward to returning!

Wonderful Ryokan experience, the Onsen is traditional and beautiful. Service is impeccable, staff was super friendly and helpful, and the food was amazing (both breakfast and dinner were kaiseki style, traditional japanese meals).

Fantastic hospitality. Everything was clearly explained to us and we are new to the ryokan experience. Kaiseki dinner and set breakfast were phenomenal and the included private seating for meals made it feel very special. Building is older but very clean, well maintained and really charming.

Beautiful ryokan with beautiful rooms. The onsen is crazy hot, probably more than 43 degrees. Ideal location if you're going to the Snow Monkey Park.

I would say that if you're looking for a small, romantic boutique kind of ryokan, this probably isn't the place for you.

This ryokan was a lot bigger than we expected - more of a regular hotel, but with tatami mat floors in the rooms. We ate in a large banquet room with the other guests and the food was delicious. We didn't go to the public onsens, but we did book the private onsen which was wonderful. Definitely book that ahead. The staff don't speak much English, but they're very sweet about trying to help you. It's also very convenient to the Snow Monkey park.

It was very unique experience. This very charming traditional Japanese ryokan is within short distance from the train (or bus) station. Everything was clean and well organised there. We spent really very relaxing enjoyable moments there. It feels all very authentic (including delicious Japanese dining) and the stuff is also very friendly and welcoming. 100% worth it!

Everything was great.

The whole experience was magical and it was if someone ordered the snowfall while my Filipina wife was on the balcony. We were blown away with the architecture of the reception hall and tea area. The room was larger than I thought and really warm to keep the cold out. Dinner/Supper was amazing as we were served by traditional Japanese ladies which put the edge on other Onsen Hotels we stayed at. The food was delicious and we added a lovely bottle of red wine which finished it off beautifully. They have a great shop selling local Japanese treats and the outside Onsen was an experience never to forget. I can see why the Snow Monkies enjoy it so much on the cold days.

Incredible property. Well worth the price! Beautiful rooms, property, and baths. Incredible food. Cannot rave enough about how kind the staff were despite our more limited Japanese. Amazing dining menu included. Well worth it for friends, families and anyone looking to get off the beaten path from Tokyo. The snow mokey park nearby was also an amazing treat!

Comfortable rooms, excellent meals throughout our stay. There is a welcoming and comfortable coffee lounge open throughout the day. The hotel shuttle brought us to and fro Yudanaka Station without delays. The Snow Monkey Park is a nice one hour walk away by foot through quiet village roads. Otherwise, transport is provided by the hotel shuttle to the bus station for a 15 min ride to the park entrance. The staff were very helpful. The town of Obuse is a short train ride away to enjoy the Hokusai Museum.
