    I did not like the plastic toilet shoes that everyone needed to share. Also, the toilet and the shower area could use an update. Things can still be authentic.

    The breakfast and dinner were exceptional! We specifically chose this place for an authentic Japanese experience. Both meals were delicious and beautiful! The waiters were also extremely helpful. The private onsen was FABULOUS!!!! What a wonderful amenity to have at your place. Such beautiful surroundings.

    Really friendly staff. The onsens were fantastic. You can reserve a private one for only 1500 yen. The wood was nicer the granite though both were great. They accommodate vegetarian diets. Excellent 9 course dinner and traditional breakfast

    The private onsen we used was not hot.

    It was lovely! The food was good. They took into consideration our allergies. They have private and public onsens; indoo4 and outdoor. The tatami room was just like picture. They had buckwheat pillows. It was 10 min? walk to see the monkeys. Quiet.

    Honestly, we have no complaints. It was perfect for us.

    The onsen was lovely and the proximity to the snow monkeys was so perfect, we were able to go back a second day. There was also a concert in the lobby in the evening. The staff was friendly and took pride in their hotel.

    Truly a highlight of our trip to Japan!
    • Leisure trip
    • Couple
    • Japanese-Style Standard Room - Breakfast and Dinner Included
    • Stayed 2 nights

    The room had lots of glass (window/door), so part of the room got very warm when the afternoon sun was shining and also the hotel is on a single boiler system which means you cannot adjust the room's individual room temperature, so we also were slightly too warm at night (we solved this by cracking open the door).

    The entire experience was amazing - we fully immersed ourselves in the experience with a Japanese style room, clothing, food, and onsen. The dinners and breakfasts were tasty and beautifully presented. They were even able to accomodate my vegetarian diet, so I was able to fully experience the meals. Staying here was truly a highlight of our visit to Japan!

    After doing lots of walks through the Japanese alps and the Nakasendo Way, we decided to spend a little bit more money for a really beautiful and luxurious hotel. This hotel was worth the price. If you let them know in advance they will pick you up from the Yudanaka railway station (and drop you back there). It is a very short walk to the entrance of the snow monkey park from the hotel and it is located among beautiful mountains so the scenery is spectacular. The staff spoke English which we really appreciated and were really helpful with all our questions. We let the hotel know in advance that we needed a gluten free dinner and breakfast and they went to an amazing effort to accommodate this request. The meals were some of the best I’ve had in Japan and I will never forget their wagyu beef. The restaurant staff were fabulous too. The twin bed room was really spacious and comfortable, way more room than we expected. The private outdoor onsen is easy to book when you check in and was delightful, especially when it was snowing. A beautiful hotel with wonderful staff, I hope I get to stay there again one day.

    My husband and I spent a night here to experience Japanese onsen for the first time and see snow monkeys in the area. We went with a traditional Japanese style room option and had no regrets. The room was fantastic. Saying spacious would be an understatement. Very large living area, separate sit down area and balcony with beautiful view. The large entryway, washroom, separate shower with bath and separate powder room. The room has AC and we were very warm despite the snowstorm outside. We had the means to make tea in the room with a beautiful tea set and there was a coffee bar downstairs. The room also had a TV. For both meals we went with the Japanese options and the staff was very helpful and accommodating to help us and explain every dish. There was even a small guide included with each meal outlining what is being served for each course. The facilities were outstanding as well. We opted for a private onsen and it was simply magical with the snow outside. There is a swimming pool as well that my husband used. If you forgot your swimwear you could get one there for a small fee. There is a small gift shop downstairs (they accept the cards as a payment option) with local sweets and small souvenirs. The fact that you got collected from the train station with a minibus and dropped off after your stay was extremely convenient as well and we didn't need to take the local bus. We were very close to the snow monkey park. We had a fantastic stay and we couldn't ask for a better experience.

    Private onsen room that I have pay extra to reserve was by far the worst experience at the hotel. The private onsen water was luke warm and we raised question to the staff, but was told the temperature had regulatory limit and nothing they could do about it... I rather go to the public bath...

    Everything (room, public onsen, dinner, breakfast) was satisfactory, had a fantastic stay and welcoming staff. loved the dinner and breakfast. Room & beddings are well prepared once you come back from meal.
