Best Yuzawa Hotels

"From the window, you get direct views of the ski lift, allowing for true ski-in/ski-out access. There are also plenty of dining options. However, the hotel facilities are a bit dated, and during ski season, the hotel shuttle service is a bit infrequent."

"The onsen was excellent. Dinner was plentiful, but breakfast was just okay. In the Japanese-style rooms, guests need to lay out their own futons. The hotel offers ski equipment rental, which was very convenient."

"Our stay at Yukinohana Ryokan was nothing short of exceptional. From the moment we arrived, we were welcomed with warm hospitality that made us feel at home. The blend of traditional Japanese elegance with modern comfort made for an unforgettable experience. The service was impeccable. Every staff member was attentive, kind, and eager to make our stay as comfortable as possible. Their attention to detail and genuine hospitality made a lasting impression. Yukinohana’s location is also excellent, just a short walk from Echigo-Yuzawa Station, making it convenient for travelers. We can’t wait to return!"

"This is our 3rd week of 4 weeks exploring Japan and so far Yuzawa Grand is the best Ryokan Onsen experience we have had. We could have spent several days there it was sublime. We arrived in the morning and the staff were extremely welcoming, helpful and knowledgeable. We had been told by the tourist centre at the train station that the gondola wasn’t operational for 3 days; however the Yuzawa Receptionist assured us that it was operating and showed us that they were even able to sell us tickets at a discount. She gave us a map and bus timetable, showing us where everything was. They stored our backpacks for us and off we went exploring and had a marvellous time. We soaked our feet in the foot baths while having a treat before catching the bus to the mountains. We came back to our gorgeous room which had a coffee pod machine in it. Was so nice having a coffee in the morning looking out the window. We enjoyed relaxing in the beautiful Onsens before dinner. The buffet at both dinner and breakfast was incredible, everything so beautifully presented and incredibly delicious. Highly recommend this gorgeous hotel. The staff are fantastic and the ambiance very peaceful."

"excellent ski resort with related facilities rental shop just nearby with reasonable price hot spring in public provided buffet restaurant and a Japanese restaurant under the hotel ski locker per room provided and 24 hours convenient store however the room cleanliness maybe improved"

"Very nice place to stay! Quiet during the spring/summer period due to the area being more popular in winter. Very near Echigo Yuzawa Station within 5min walk. Was welcomed into the hotel nicely with complimentary matcha and snack. Upon check in there was even a cute Gachapon game in which you could win one of their special Niigata/Yuzawa stuff! I won a small pack of Niigata rice. Room was clean and spacious with a comfy futon bed. The public baths were so nice and well maintained! The staff here are very friendly and attentive. If you did not reserve their special dinner/breakfast set, you can still do say with 2 days advanced order over the front desk. I also love that they provide free shuttle to the station at check out upon request! Definitely staying here again if ever back in the area 🫶🏼"

"10 points to recommend this hotel, the hotel has a massage chair hot spring, 10 points friendly for guests who have just slipped the snow. Plus breakfast and dinner are also delicious and the service is very thoughtful. "

"#汤泽gala #越后汤沢 #汤泽gala #日式風浴 #滑滑 Oyujuku Nakaya, a traditional Japanese hot spring hotel, has courteous waiters and a 24-hour front desk. Even if you return to the hotel very late, there will be staff to greet you. They will try their best to arrange some requests, which is very humane. Although the hotel is a bit old, it is well-equipped, neat and clean, and the indoor and outdoor baths are also very comfortable. It is only a 10-minute walk to nearby restaurants. If you take the hotel's special car, it only takes 5 minutes to get to Gala Ski Resort or Echigo Yuzawa Station!"

"Japanese-style house, the house is not cold at all on snowy days; the hot spring is great, the open-air hot spring is very comfortable on snowy days. The service is good, the two meals are quite special, the drinking water is poured for you, and the bed is made for you. You have to pay to store your luggage."
