Hot Springs Hotels in Yuzawa

One of the loveliest ryokans we've ever stayed at in Japan, wish we stayed for longer. Every part of the hotel is so beautiful and serves as a lovely photo backdrop. There is a lounge with coffee/tea in the mornings and alcohol and snacks in the evening. There is also a playroom (suitable for infants to 6years old). Service is top notch, everyone is so helpful and friendly. Extremely easy to communicate with them as the staff can speak English well. They gave us a map and told us where we could go for food or to the ski resorts and gave a lot of local advice. They provide all the amenities you need. They even have rain boots that you can borrow and wear in case your shoes are not waterproof. It snowed heavily while we were there and the staff are super attentive - they asked where we were headed to and suggested for comfort, that we wear the hotel's rain boots as they knew my partner's shoe wasn't waterproof/suitable to walk through the snow. Rooms are very clean, big and comfortable (only that the futons are a little thin). The onsens are rather small, but the outdoor onsen is so beautiful. They provide a shuttle service to the train station (upon request) , although it is a relatively short walk - 5mins - and easy to walk if there is no snow. 7 eleven right next to the train station and New Days inside the train station. We loved every single thing about this charming lovely hotel and we will definitely be back if we are in Echigo Yuzawa.

Staff service is very good, very professional. Ski rentals are available at the hotel, which is cheaper than ski resorts and other ski resorts. Ski tickets at the hotel are also available at discounts. There is also a special car transfer, when you see everyone waiting for the bus in a long queue, your special car is already waiting for you at the door, when it snows, feel warm. It is only a 5-minute walk to Yuehou Tangyu Station and 7-11.

This boutique hotel is an absolute delight. With only five rooms in total, it offers an intimate, ryokan‑style experience where every guest receives thoughtful, attentive service. The staff embody the spirit of Japanese omotenashi—quiet, sincere, and always one step ahead of your needs. Because the property hosts so few guests, the atmosphere is calm and unhurried. You never feel like just another booking; instead, it feels as though the entire team is dedicated to making your stay exceptional. The dinner course is a highlight you simply cannot miss. It’s beautifully crafted, seasonal, and clearly prepared with great care. Just be sure to reserve at least two days in advance, as the kitchen prepares ingredients specifically for each guest. To my surprise, the overall experience here surpasses even some well‑known Japanese luxury brands like Hoshinoya. It’s more personal, more serene, and ultimately more memorable. A perfect stay for anyone seeking genuine hospitality and a peaceful retreat.

One of the nearest accommodation to Gala Yuzawa Ski Resort and shuttle via a mini bus is available. Shuttle bus goes to Echigo Yuzawa station too. It is walking distance from Gala Yuzawa. Approach any staff at the Ski Resort with the telephone number of the hotel to request for it. Stayed there for a few night for snowboarding. Breakfast selection was fabulous with two local Japanese sake available! The room is big, clean and well furnished. It even come with a great view! Onsen street which is the street lined with restaurant is 10-15mins walk away. I recommend making reservation for dinner if you do not intend to go out for dinner. Great service is one of the key reason why I would return to stay!

The service was excellent. The shuttle bus picked us up and dropped us off at Yuzawa Station East Exit, and it only took 5 minutes to get to the hotel. The outdoor onsen (hot spring) was amazing, with continuous snow-capped mountains right outside. The hotel also offers a partnership with a ski rental shop and provides transportation to various ski resorts. Dinner was served in our room and cost 7,700 JPY per person.

Choosing KKR Yuzawa Yukiguni during my trip to Echigo Yuzawa was truly an excellent decision. It's about a 10-minute walk from the station, up a slight hill, but it was quiet, and the room was pre-heated, making it warm and comfortable. What I particularly loved was the dinner kaiseki and breakfast; the ingredients were fresh, the presentation was substantial, and the taste was absolutely delicious. Also, the view from the large public bath felt like looking at a framed painting. If you're going to Echigo Yuzawa, I highly recommend it!

The sauna has been closed due to COVID-19. A lame excuse indeed. The bathroom clock, which was previously pointed out in a review, is still broken. If they offer day-use bathing with designated times, they should either repair it or put up a new clock. The weather was cloudy when I checked in and then rained, but the next day was sunny. The view from my room was beautiful with beautiful autumn leaves.

This resort hotel is directly connected to the slopes and convenient for ski and snowboard trips. Its spacious Japanese-Western rooms, hot springs from the source, and views of the natural surroundings were appealing. The hot springs and buffet-style meals were very satisfying, and the staff were friendly and made for a comfortable stay. Although it is an old building, it is clean and has an atmosphere that is enjoyable for families and beginners, making it a hotel I would like to visit again.

The guesthouse's location is incredibly convenient. In the mornings, you can enjoy a stroll in the nearby Takizawa Park and see the dam and waterfall. The guesthouse staff are very friendly, and the Japanese breakfast is fresh and delicious, offering slight variations each day, which truly shows their dedication to providing a great experience. Guests can also access the hot springs 24/7 for their convenience.

The location was very good, and it was quiet on the opposite side of the bustling area, so the only sounds were the river and rain. It was nice. However, the room was not bad, but the walls were thin, so you could hear all the conversations of other guests. Unfortunately, I was with a group of noisy guests late at night and early in the morning, so I had a hard time falling asleep, and even when I did, I was woken up, which was a pain. The room itself was small, but it was clean and enough for a night's sleep. The bathroom was much smaller than it looked in the photos, and it felt cramped for two people. The towels at the foot of the bathroom were damp, so I wish they could be replaced or made of a material that drains water well. It seems that they no longer offer breakfast service, but they had free water, coffee, and tea, which was very helpful. Comfort depends on the guests you stay with, but overall it was a comfortable hotel.
