Brilliant stay in the most beautiful town

We had a wonderful stay here for our honeymood - the room was just incredible. The inclusive dinner and breakfast with our booking were also fantastic. The traditional japanese dinner was lovely and we really appreciated the truly vegetarian alternative menu that wasn't full of mushrooms! It was also very thoughtful to have the owner of the hotel and come say hello to us during our dinner experience. We would love to have stayed longer and would highly recommend - the venue, staff, location and food were all 10/10!

Everything! The Staff are amazing. The Hotel is beautiful with great facilities. Hotel bedroom was immaculate and enormous, with large windows allowing for spectacular views. Bed was so comfortable. The evening meal was made into such a special occasion with all the beautiful dishes (I'm a fussy eater too!). The location was great, especially for visiting the Snow Monkey Park. A short walk from the train and bus station. We enjoyed the private onsen with beautiful views over the countryside. I think it will be one of the Hotels that will always stay in my memories. Such a wonderful experience and stay!

Rooftop bar closed. Opt for your ryokan partly due to it. Dinner was disappointing for the price paid.

The private balcony onsen was amazing, the hotel onsen was quiet, we barely saw other people, and it was easy to get to the snow monkeys. I highly recommend this hotel.

The best views of the snowy town and mountains

This place exceeded our expectations. We were welcomed by lovely staff who helped us settle in. The rooms were clean and tidy and views were unbelievable, making this stay our favourite. The rooms are a little outdated but the service and experience there made up for that. We enjoyed a private and public onsen and rooftop bar snow dome. Everything was just lovely.
