I want to eat Hida beef! I want to enjoy sake while watching the snow! I want to relax in an onsen! All my wishes came true. I was satisfied with everything: the food, customer service, onsen, overall cleanliness of the property, and the warm atmosphere. I will use it again.

We were very satisfied with both the meals and the Onsen. What impressed us most was the hospitality of the staff. Thank you very much. We would love to stay again.

Stayed with family on a plan with two meals. - Staff The staff were very kind and accommodating. Thank you very much! - Meals The food was very delicious! No complaints. - Bath The night view from the open-air bath was beautiful. It was a bit disappointing that the shower water pressure dropped a little halfway through. - Room The room was spacious, with air conditioning and a stove in each room, making it warm enough to spend the night. It was a bit inconvenient that there was no washroom or toilet in the room, but it was acceptable. - Thoughts It seemed like there weren't many guests, so it would be nice if it was more lively...

I stayed here because it’s close to the drone school!

I stayed here for the first time a year ago and was so satisfied with the all-you-can-eat Genghis Khan BBQ that I came back again this year. With that much food and access to the Onsen, I think it’s very reasonably priced. I don’t feel relaxed when there are too many people, so the number of Rooms was just right, and I was able to unwind and truly relax. This is an Onsen Accommodation I want to visit again and again!! I’ll definitely be back!

There is an accommodation located just up the hill of Shiroyama at the eastern edge of the grid-like town. The narrow and steep approach road is one-way, so there’s no need to worry about oncoming traffic. Even large buses were able to make their way up. Although the entrance area of the accommodation is narrow, once you unload your luggage, valet service will take care of parking your car. Walking downhill from the accommodation leads to a main tourist spot, and it’s also conveniently close to the station, making it a great base for exploring. The interior is spacious with intricate design details. The staff are kind and attentive in their interactions. The room faces west with no tall trees obstructing the view, offering a wide panorama of the entire town that can be enjoyed both from inside and from the terrace with an open-air bath. (The view may vary depending on room orientation.) The private open-air bath in each room maintains an ideal temperature all day and night; it’s made of stone and spacious enough for a family to enjoy together. A shower room is conveniently adjacent. On our stay date, fireworks lit up Takayama city, which we watched for about an hour while leaning against the terrace railing. Meals are served in semi-private booth-style seating with sunken kotatsu tables. A quiet group of Western guests dined together in a large hall nearby.

I decided to stay another night after my plans from the previous day and chose this affordable Onsen accommodation with meals included. Although I was familiar with Sarugakyo and Akaya Lake as they are on the way to Yuzawa, it was my first time staying here. The deciding factor was the rare opportunity for in-room dining for both breakfast and dinner, which gave me a nostalgic feeling like staying at a hotel from my childhood. It seemed that only part of the room was being used, but the Onsen experience was peaceful and private, which I really appreciated.

The Facility may look old, but it has a pleasantly aged charm, and it is thoroughly cleaned, so it never feels dirty. The fireplace atmosphere is wonderful! The service was very courteous, and everyone greeted us with a smile, which felt great. When we contacted the front desk, they came to our Room right away—truly attentive. The meals were very generous and we couldn’t finish everything, but we also enjoyed the game meat. The bath was well cleaned, and the open-air bath was especially relaxing with a view of the night sky!

This is a truly wonderful Accommodation. It is decorated with many artistic handmade pieces that blend seamlessly with the furnishings, creating a calm and relaxing atmosphere. The four indoor baths are set up so you can tell whether each one is “Available” or “In Use,” and they were never all occupied, so we could bathe freely. Two baths are sized for 1–2 people, and the other two are a bit larger with great views. The water feels fantastic. There is also an outdoor bath that you lock from the outside before entering. This open-air bath is simply excellent. You can spend unhurried time surrounded by nature, with plenty of mineral deposits in the water as well. The short walk to get there is lovely too, and various wildflowers welcome you along the way. The owner was very kind, and the hand-dripped coffee was delicious. It’s an Accommodation that makes you want to come back (and feels like coming home).

The biggest highlight is, without a doubt, the very spacious Room. We stayed as three generations of our family. We brought our own ingredients and had fun cooking dinner together, and since there is a natural Onsen, we enjoyed bathing many times and fully experienced an extraordinary getaway in such an open space. The staff were foreigners, but even without speaking English we managed to communicate somehow, and they were kind. Some amenities and tableware were missing, but when we asked, they provided them. This was our second stay, and we’d love to come again with the family! Thank you very much.

I stayed here for a Multiple Night Stay during my trip to Nagano. Even though I arrived much earlier than planned, the front desk staff kindly assisted me, which was very helpful. The Room was spacious enough for a family, and since it was just the two of us as a couple, we could really relax. Because the location is up in the mountains, it was quiet and cool at night, and I slept well. Breakfast was buffet-style with a sufficient variety. Since I stayed multiple nights, I had breakfast twice, and I appreciated that the selection changed slightly. There are vending machines for drinks and ice cream inside the building, as well as a small shop, but there are no convenience stores or restaurants nearby. If you choose a Plan without meals or plan to have light food and drinks in your Room, I recommend shopping before arriving at the Accommodation. I also had a Plan without dinner, so the front desk staff told me about “Madarao no Yu,” located a short way down the hill. Thank you to all the staff for their kind hospitality—this was my first Multiple Night Stay, and I had a very comfortable time.

I stayed for 3 nights for skiing in Hakuba. The snow quality was terrible all 4 days, but I was very satisfied with the property overall. The ski locker in the drying room is spacious, easily accommodating boards and boots for 4 people, and it has a lock. The room is well soundproofed. There is a large public bath and an open-air bath. And above all, the food was extremely delicious. At first glance, I thought there might be a limited number of dishes, but the quantity was more than satisfying, and the seasoning was excellent. I will use it again if I have the opportunity.

I was in the area on other business and was just looking for a simple place to stay without meals, hoping there might be an onsen. When I arrived, the hot spring looked wonderful. I went in right after check-in, and ended up soaking four times before check-out. It’s unlikely I’ll have another chance to stay here in the future, but if I do, I’d love to stay at Kawashima Ryokan again.

We enjoyed a lot at the Hotel, playing mini-golf and swimming in the pool. If we had more time, it seemed fun to take the lift to enjoy the scenery and go hiking. I thought it was a good Hotel to stay with children and spend time leisurely. The bath was also nice, and the buffet restaurant was delicious and good.

The cheerful greetings from the Accommodation staff made for a wonderfully pleasant welcome. The biggest highlight was the two types of free-flowing open-air Onsen baths! By alternating between the deep low-temperature and high-temperature baths, even I—who tends to overheat easily—was able to soak for a long time and fully enjoy the Onsen. I highly recommend trying it. It would be even better if there were welcome drinks or coffee available. Just as the Accommodation name suggests, there was a lucky bell on the chopstick sleeve—a thoughtful touch that made me happy.

We were blessed with great weather, and the view from our Room and the starry night sky were truly wonderful. The Onsen was also a sulfur-rich milky hot spring that we love, incredibly relaxing, and made for a very luxurious stay. Every dish was a carefully crafted creative kaiseki meal prepared for us, and it was delicious. We would love to visit again if we have the chance.

The owner of the Accommodation seems deeply devoted to the Onsen and handed me an Onsen analysis sheet at the front desk—something I’d never experienced before. The main rock bath had a wonderful atmosphere and there were three tubs, but all of them were too hot for me to soak in. I barely managed to get into the deep bath at the front for about 10 seconds a few times. I understand the desire for guests to enjoy the free-flowing natural hot spring water, but it was a bit intense for me. On the other hand, I really enjoyed the smaller gourd-shaped bath and went in three times. The meals were modest but more than enough, and especially the soba was delicious. The toilet in my Room was modern and comfortable. The building is very spacious and must be difficult to maintain, but I hope they will continue doing well for many years to come.
