    onsen facilities
    chilly shower

    Had a wonderful time relaxing in our private onsen every morning and enjoying the delicious Japanese-style breakfast! The on-site onsen facilities are top-notch and perfect for unwinding after a day of exploring. The only downside was how chilly the outdoor shower could get, but it’s a small price to pay for such a cozy experience! 😊

    fine dining experience
    dirty carpet
    uncomfortable bedding

    Excellent food comparable to fine dining experiences.

    We were truly frustrated with the state of the hotel. Everything felt dated and unkempt. The carpet was filthy, and we were shocked by the poor maintenance in the room. Having to sleep on a very thin futon with only one uncomfortable pillow was unbearable. The dinner we had was tasteless, leaving us feeling disappointed after paying a premium price. The shuttle schedule was ridiculous. it left us feeling rushed and forced to check out early.

    Amazing traditional stay

    Spent 2 nights in a fantastic room with a private bath. The food was sooo good—huge portions! Staff were super nice and always helpful. Loved the little touches like fresh flowers and tasty treats waiting for us. Just wish the check-out time was a bit later—it felt rushed. Otherwise, everything was perfect!

    indoor shower
    limited space

    I had an amazing stay at this ryokan in yamanouchi. The on-site onsen experience was perfect after a long day visiting the snow monkeys. The food was a good mix of traditional kaiseki dishes, beautifully presented and utterly delicious.

    the room lacked an indoor shower.

    onsen experience
    indoor shower

    The onsen experience was incredible and truly unique, though

    the room lacked an indoor shower which made it a bit inconvenient. However, the stunning open-air bath and traditional futons made up for it, and the staff was very accommodating, providing excellent service throughout our stay.

    Recommend for a getaway

    Comfortable room, attentive staff, and delicious food made our stay enjoyable, particularly the included traditional dinners that were presented beautifully and the relaxing onsen access which included both public and private options for all guests.

    No drawbacks at all.

    amazing access to hot springs and charming town vibes

    During my unforgettable stay, i loved how close the ryokan is to the onsen town's famous hot springs and that i could walk to the beautiful onsenji shrine within minutes, making every stroll through the area a delightful adventure. the hospitality was also top-notch, with staff eager to help, from coordinating transportation to serving an exquisite kaiseki dinner that left me feeling pampered.

    delightful kaiseki dinners
    unique private onsen
    hard tatami mattress

    Our stay was unforgettable, especially the delightful kaiseki dinners that left us fully satisfied each night, and the unique private onsen was a fantastic way to unwind after exploring the area. However, the tatami mat sleeping arrangements might be a bit hard for some.

    private onsen
    attentive staff
    limited amenities

    great onsen experience, but limited room amenities

    The variety of private onsens available was impressive, providing an intimate experience. We particularly enjoyed the exceptional kaiseki meals, which were beautifully presented and bursting with flavor. The staff were attentive and made our stay feel special, catering to our needs without being intrusive. After a day of exploring, soaking in the onsens felt like pure bliss.

    The room lacked an indoor shower, which made cleanliness a bit of a challenge.
