Delicious Meals

I opted for both Western and Japanese breakfasts during my stay, and they were beautifully presented and flavorful. The ingredients varied each day, which kept meals exciting. The highlight was the shimeji mushrooms cooked with butter and shoyu—they were simply fantastic!

Relaxing Onsen Experience

The onsen facilities were a dream! I especially loved the outdoor onsen surrounded by nature. It was pristine and offered a serene atmosphere to unwind after a long day. Additionally, they provided boots for visiting the snow monkey park, which was a thoughtful touch.

Comfortable and Spacious

I stayed in a quadruple family room that was very spacious, featuring a private bath and toilet. The tatami area was a lovely addition, while the balcony provided stunning views of the nearby mountains. The room was spotless and well-appointed, making my stay incredibly comfortable.

I had a wonderful stay at this ryokan. The traditional Japanese-style room was super nice, clean, and spacious, perfect for experiencing a true ryokan stay. The service was incredibly friendly and attentive, making sure every detail was taken care of for a relaxing experience. The location couldn't have been better for visiting the Snow Monkey Park, just a short walk away. While the dining experience was very lavish, the facilities were top-notch and well-maintained.

My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The rooms, although not very cozy or big, were very clean and offered a sweet touch for our honeymoon with a seating area including western chairs and a small coffee table. The service, particularly the meals, spoke good English and went out of their way to meet our needs and queries. The location was convenient for evening walks and close to the start of hiking trails, as well as offering a nice view of the snow monkeys. The dining experience was amazing, definitely the highlight of my trip, with many delicious courses and dishes. On the downside, there were some communication problems, but this seemed more related to that than a lack of hospitality.
