The front desk staff were kind, and it helped me relax after a long day. Both dinner and breakfast were delicious. Thank you very much.

The meals were wonderful, and we were delighted by the owner’s courteous service. Thank you very much!

This is a retro Showa-era Hotel (Ryokan). The covered, spacious garage used as a motorcycle parking area was great in rainy weather and for security.

We stayed here the night before a mountain hike. The place was very spacious, and the amenities were well stocked. There was also a convenience store just a short walk away, which was reassuring.

I stayed on July 17, 2026. This is one of the few Hotels that came up when searching on a Accommodation Reservation site in the Inawashiro–Urabandai area for a two-meal plan that is not buffet-style. Across the road, Lake Inawashiro spreads out right in front of you. Nearby are a sightseeing boat pier and a marina, and the Hotel also has an attached modern restaurant with an amazing view, where we enjoyed delicious breakfast and dinner. The location is outstanding. The rooftop has a BBQ terrace overlooking the lake—perfect for spending fun time late into the night with like-minded friends. The mural in the second-floor bath was painted by a female sento mural artist, and the wall art around the staircase is refreshingly original. The building feels like it’s from Japan’s bubble era, so some age in the Facility is unavoidable, but there are thoughtful furnishings and touches to welcome guests, which I appreciated. I felt it’s a great place for groups to have fun together, such as for a mini training camp or retreat.

As shown in the photos, this is a beautiful and stylish standalone house. The space is simple and very calming. The view from the Room is stunning, allowing for a wonderful experience like something out of a drama. The bathroom was spacious and absolutely fantastic! From check-in to check-out, you can enjoy complete privacy without encountering anyone else. However, there were some areas where cleaning was not thorough, which was slightly disappointing. The outdoor chairs and sandals were old and dirty, lacking cleanliness and making them uncomfortable to use. Additionally, some leftover condiments were found but it was unclear when they were purchased; the oil had also discolored, which felt concerning. While it's great to avoid waste from an eco-friendly perspective, it would be appreciated if usage dates could be noted for such items.

Stayed for one night with the dinner-included indulgent Plan before a hike. Dinner was a Japanese course meal, and each dish was meticulously prepared. The chef's dedication came through, and it was delicious. I finished everything, feeling completely full and satisfied. The Onsen water is clear but constantly flows into the bath, overflowing continuously—definitely great for the skin. Room amenities only included a toothbrush; the Onsen shampoo was 2-in-1 with conditioner, and the body soap seemed low-quality. While the food and Onsen were excellent, this part felt like a downside. Staff service was excellent.

Although the exterior is honestly a bit old-fashioned, both the guest rooms and dining area are clean and comfortable. The meals were more than satisfying. It’s a Hotel I’d like to visit again.

We stayed here with our family during heavy rain. There were a few minor issues, but that’s part of staying at a mountain Accommodation—and the owner and his family’s hospitality more than made up for it. Dinner, featuring char (iwana) and wild mountain vegetables, was truly satisfying. Amazingly, we were the only guests that day and had the abundant free-flowing natural Onsen all to ourselves—it was wonderful.

Affordable ski and snowboard rentals were very helpful.

With a bus stop right in front, it was convenient for getting anywhere. It was also helpful that shopping at A-Coop and dining out were both within walking distance. The staff were very kind and pleasant. There is a large public bath, and there was also a cold plunge pool for the sauna, so I could cool my tired legs after Jomon Sugi and take good care of them. Thank you very much.

I stayed with my beloved dog and 2-year-old child. The private bath was spacious and very relaxing, and the restaurant for dinner was wonderful and memorable. Both the accommodation and the restaurant were pet-friendly, making our stay extremely comfortable. We would love to visit again as a family. The Halloween decorations matched the atmosphere perfectly and were lovely.

I had used the Onsen several times as a day trip, but this was my first time staying overnight. The toothbrush provided in the amenities was a bit hard, but that’s easy to solve by bringing my own next time. Other than that, I had a comfortable stay with no complaints. My Room had a view of Mt. Jonen, but since I arrived at night I couldn’t see it then. I enjoyed Mt. Jonen the next morning, but I left in a hurry and couldn’t take my time to fully appreciate the view, which was a bit disappointing. Next time, I plan to check in while it’s still light and enjoy everything properly. I’d like to stay again. Thank you very much.

We visited as a couple. The Onsen was wonderful—both the view and the water were excellent. We liked it so much that we went in many times. The meals were all about abalone!! There was so much abalone that we couldn’t finish it, and my husband said he didn’t want to see abalone for a while (lol). But every dish was very delicious. In the Room, stink bugs may appear, so if you’re not comfortable with them, you may not be able to sleep.

It’s conveniently located just a few minutes’ walk from Echigo-Yuzawa Station, and there is also parking available. It’s a bit away from the bar district, but not enough to be an issue. The Accommodation seems to have been renovated and felt clean. For the price, the bath was spacious and comfortable, though the water was a little too hot. We didn’t add breakfast, but there was complimentary chimaki and soup, which were very tasty. I would like to stay here again.

It was better than I expected! Great value for the price. My dog was happy too. If I had to mention anything, the bedroom scent was a bit too strong—maybe the previous guests used a lot of fragrance. Also, it was hard to find the toothbrushes. And it would have been helpful to have clearer instructions for using the BBQ (there were some, but they seemed to assume charcoal use). That said, overall it was clean and well-equipped. Even during Golden Week, the price felt fair, and it’s an Accommodation I can’t help but want to stay at again.

I felt unwell during dinner and couldn't eat the fresh sea urchin, but the hostess kindly prepared a sea urchin rice bowl for me the next morning. It was absolutely delicious. The staff were all very kind, which made me happy. If I have another chance to visit, I will make a reservation again. Thank you so much!

This is my third stay here. The price was reasonable, and the Onsen was great. I will stay again.

Perhaps because we visited on a weekday, the baths were almost private, and we could relax and take our time. The meals were excellent in both portion size and taste, and they were served in a private room. Since we had children with us, we really appreciated that. The Hotel staff were all very kind, and we would love to stay here again when we visit Shiga.

Although the weather was not great, we still enjoyed our stay and even had fun with the little inconveniences. A wonderful Room and meals. Next time, I’d love to watch the stars.
