This was the perfect place to stay to ho see the Snow Monkey. Excellent staff, clean, comfortable hotel just down the hill from the train station and bus stop. We had a wonderful time and highly recommend this hotel.

The Ryokan director, Shino Onozawa, was terrific! We arrived early and our room was ready. We selected the breakfast option, which was delicious. Shino made our stay there the perfect Ryokan experience. The town was very easy to navigate, and the snow monkeys were short taxi ride away. I would highly recommend this location.

This place was our stepping stone to see the Snow Monkeys. We wanted to experience a total Onsen and we weren't disappointed. The food and service to detail was amazing. The bathing rituals were a laugh for us. Being 5'7" tall, I found the wash basin very low and challenging to say the least. Our host drove us up to the snow monkey park and also to the train at the end of our time there.

Very clean room, very good service and very nice boss. I wanna to book this hotel if I travel to this place again.

Really recommend this place for easy Snow Monkey access and simply awesome Japanese Hospitality! We had two rooms - a Western and Japanese style. Both really nice and big. The onsen is awesome and the staff couldn't be more helpful. Super easy to access from the station (5 minute walk). Also, the dinners were some of the best we had in our 2 weeks in Japan. Super recommend.

Simply perfect stay in a traditional onsen ryokan. The Onsen bath was a little hard to get used to (whilst the rooms are massive and there are toilets, it is a traditional ryokan and so you bathe in the onsen). Even my super conservative sister got used to it and we all loved the experience. The staff are really helpful and even drove us to the station when we nearly missed our ski bus.
