really enjoyable would highly recommend

Excellent hospitality. Amazing meal services. Very kind staff. Our stay was amazing and we quite enjoyed the onsens! Looking forward to coming back

A friendly warm welcome and drink were received on arrival. This was our 2nd visit to Yudanaka. Very comfortable traditional rooms, and the outside onsen on the 5th floor was great. The nightly wine bar was a pleasant surprise and the Japanese breakfast was high level. Would definitely stay again !!

The staff were incredible, the service was incredible, the food was amazing, the onsen was fantastic. Great value for the level of care that the staff give. I really want to come back and stay at this hotel for a week. 10/10 recommend!!

This hotel was so incredibly amazing in every regard. We arrived and were provided a wonderful welcome drink. We booked a western king bed with an outer room for tatami mat as there were 3 of us. The rooms were very spacious - and had large sitting area and a massage chair. The Nespresso coffee machine in room was fantastic- but the coffee machine in lobby that opened at 6 AM became my best friend. The baths in this hotel on the roof were absolutely beautiful with incredible views of the mountains. We booked the private bath too- and this would be fantastic for a celebration as had beer and champagne. The food in this hotel was 5 star and so artfully presented. It was delicious and we had a choice of Japanese or western breakfast. The Japanese breakfast was amazing. They make their own apple juice which was so yummy. The staff at this hotel were so polite, accommodating, helpful, kind, and the absolute best. This was truly a special find- and I would recommend this hotel to one and all. It was very special. Very close to train station, very quiet, and close to the Heiwa no Oka Park (largest brass Buddha) and snow monkey park. We actually walked down from Snow Monkey park to hotel thru Shiba Onsen. I loved Yudanaka, Yamanouchi, and Hôtel Tsubakino!

Absolutely excellent. Great onsen with views of the mountains. Staff is very helpful.

What a beautiful hotel. A relaxing peaceful haven, it’s been a highlight of our trip.

The open air onsen was amazing, staff was helpful.

Charming staff tries hard to please. Wonderful rooftop private hot tub with beautiful views. Delicious multicourse authentic Japanese dinner.

From the start, the staff welcomed us with a drink. My son has food allergies. They were very accomodating by adjusting the daily menu. Room is nice and clean with own bathroom. The view of the five mountain peeks is excellent. Would definitely come back.

Very nice hotel. Very friendly and attentive staff. They responded to our request immediately. The Onsen (indoor and outdoor) are very nice and well maintained. I highly recommend this hotel.

Friendly welcome from attentive staff. My room was spotlessly clean and very comfortable. Free spa on the roof was wonderful.

Located in a remote, quiet onsen town that has a beautiful view of the local mountains. Also, if you are planning on going to Jigokudani (Snow Monkey onsen park) it is relatively easy to get to. Staff is very friendly and helpful. Would go again if I was in the area!

My daughter and I went to the hotel for my birthday as a special treat. We stayed two nights and really enjoyed the spa. It was very hot though, but very relaxing. It wasn't crowded at the hotel so we didn't have to share the spas much, but I could see them being small if there is a lot of people. We recommend going for the sunset over the mountains. Their English was helpful but far from fluent.

We booked this hotel to experience a traditional ryokan and to celebrate the end of our three weeks in Japan. It was super expensive for our budget (we're backpackers), but SO worth it. The staff were wonderfully friendly, the rooms were spacious and beautifully designed in traditional style, and the breakfast they served (both western and traditional) were perfect. We also booked the private bath for 50 minutes (price of 2150 yen), and it was AMAZING. The only things I could complain about was the female only bath had slightly dirty water, but that could happen from people not understanding how to use the baths. We didn't get to see much of the local area, so we can't really comment on that. Tip: If you're not familiar with Japanese food and not up for being adventurous, maybe opt for a western style breakfast. I loved my traditional breakfast, but it had a bewildering array of flavors and textures. Last breakfast they can serve you is at 8:30 am.

Amazing hotel with private Onsen and great customer service.

Had a wonderful stay at Hotel Tsubakino. Service was outstanding - very welcomming and friendly. Had both dinner and breakfast at a Hotel - lots of small traditional japanese dishes served with love and care. Would strongly recomend to stay here.

The hotel is 3 minutes from Yudanaka station, so getting there and away is convenient. My reservation included breakfast and dinner and both were fantastic.

There was a wonderful stay, the japanes food is very good, and the publish baths has beautiful views, also for not too much money you can reserve a private onsen, with good amenities.

Nice onsen. Big rooms. Helpful staff.

Breakfast was super, there are choices of Western breakfast or Japanese breakfast.

The hotel was very nice, the hot baths were on the 5th floor, fantastic! it had been snowing heavily and we were picked up at the train station which was a very nice surprise. The room was traditional and very confortable. the hotel staff was very nice and helpful. It was very easy to go and see the snow monkeys, 15 minutes from train station by bus and 30 minutes awesome walk in the woods. The only 2 down points were a persistent bad/odd smell through out the hotel. most probably related to the hot springs and a disapointing western breakfast. Yanaka in winter was beautiful, seeing the snow monkeys was a fantastic experience.

Overall the stay was very good. The open air onsen is very nice with really warm rooms. WiFi connectivity was the only issue.

We had four guests and all stayed in the same room on futons. The room was warm and comfortable in a minimalist fashion and we had apricot nectar as a beverage on arrival. We used our yakatas throughout the hotel as did the visiting Japanese. The hotel onsen was lovely and we also used the private onsen which was lovely under the stars. My friend and I went for a full Japanese breakfast and my wife and daughter went Western. Both were lovely in their own context.
