Best Omachi Hotels

"Lovely stay to top off my solo exploration of the Tateyama Kurobe Alpine route, Hakuba and Matsumoto. It had the most comfortable room with every amenities and service thought of for travellers, like free coffee at the lobby, restaurant dinner service, luggage storage and forwarding from Toyama Dentetsu Station, coin vending machines and laundry facilities, a public bath after a full day outdoors. The breakfast was also plentiful, extensive and delicious. Location is just opposite Shinano Omachi JR Station and Ogizawa bus stop. After three days of hikes and mountain huts, I was grateful for all the creature comforts. Will stay here again when I return in other seasons."

"Great location near shuttle bus stops to the ski slopes. Affordable and good especially the western style rooms. Friendly staff that will help you and make it feel homey and welcomed."

"I like this hotel very much. The room is super big and there is an outdoor heated bathtub. You can take a bath anytime without waiting. The snow scene outside the window is beautiful, and it is a great place to check in. The hotel's hot spring is also quite large and not crowded. You can choose Japanese or Western breakfast, and the Japanese style is quite exquisite. It takes about 30 minutes to go skiing in Hakuba, and it is very convenient to drive. The rooms are well maintained and the beds are very comfortable. It is also very convenient to go skiing in Hakuba, and it is more cost-effective than living in Hakuba."

"The room is clean and comfortable, there is a hot spring upstairs, it is comfortable to take a bath after skiing! The breakfast and dinner are exquisite, and the service attitude of the restaurant is very good. On the day of check-out, the reservation made a few days in advance 🚕 did not come for a long time 😮💨 Ask the front desk to help check the status of the taxi, the heavy snow caused traffic congestion The taxi is on the way, and the arrival time is unknown. The uncle at the front desk offered to drive us to Shinnong Omachi Station himself, which is really heartwarming."

"Everything was ok, quite standard. It was clean and really, no problems. I only have a slight issue with the toilet: The shared toilet is shockingly small, and for the female one, it says that 2 can fit in there. Thankfully I was alone for my showers if not it would be really awkward. I also found it weird how if the main toilet door opens, the person changing can be seen by anyone outside. :( Otherwise, it was a pleasant stay and a good rest point for those going on the kurobe alpine route trail."

"It's very close to the station. Although you can't tell from the outside, the proprietress seems very friendly. There is a refrigerator, microwave, and bathing area (before 10 o'clock) which is great"

"Not far from Shinano Omachi Station, the transportation is convenient. Hotels run by ********* are relatively convenient for communication, but the understanding of the landlady is a bit out of sync with ours... Clean, I chose a room with a bathroom, but it was different from other rooms in Japan Compared with business hotels, there is no advantage in price and service. The worst thing is that there are no curtains and it's already dark after 4 o'clock in the morning. I couldn't sleep, so I caught the early bus and set off with my luggage. The luggage storage area doesn't open until nearly 8 o'clock"

"I’ve stayed at many ryokans throughout my travels—often making up half of each trip—but this one felt a bit different. It seemed to be run by just one person, who I assume is the owner. Everything was self-service, which might be understandable considering it was the most affordable option among the ryokans in the area. Most amenities required an extra fee, such as towels. Payment was made by dropping coins into a basket and making your own change, which wasn’t very convenient—especially since I didn’t carry much cash. One thing I appreciated was the luggage delivery service. I was able to leave my bag at the lobby before check-out and have it sent to Toyama Station (for about 4,000 JPY, cash only). What stood out was the creativity in the shared spaces. There were several common rooms designed for relaxing and spending time—perfect if you’re traveling with friends. You could play ping pong, read books, watch TV, or use the canteen, which had a microwave and dishes available. They even had coin-operated massage chairs and a small fitness room. However, I must mention two important downsides: 1. Limited nearby dining options – Many restaurants shown as open on Google Maps were actually closed. The only one that was open had extremely slow service—I waited nearly an hour for dinner. 2. Insects—large ones – Unfortunately, I encountered big insects in my room, which made it hard to sleep. (He even provided insect-catch tape for me while introduce the room) I stayed awake most of the night, worrying it might come back—especially stressful since I had to get up early the next morning to catch a bus to Ogizawa. Minds you, stairs only, need to carry your luggage down by yourself. Overall, while it offers good value for the area and has unique communal features, this ryokan may not suit travelers who prefer full service, cashless payment, or guaranteed comfort."

"It was raining on the day we arrived, but it wasn't cold and we were able to sleep peacefully in our private room. It would be nice if the shower had a little more hot water, but it was okay. I think it's a good place to stay before climbing a mountain. The staff were kind and explained things to us carefully, which made me feel at ease. Shinano Omachi was a town I had been following on Instagram and wanted to visit."

"Good boss, if I didn’t order a meal, I also sent me a quick meal in the morning and evening."
