Shirahone Onsen · Kamikochi Onsen × Highly rated Hotel·Ryokan for Onsen and bath

I finally got to visit Shirahone Onsen and soak in its milky-white waters. The meals and the hospitality/service were just right, and I had an even better time than expected.

It was my first time visiting Shirahone Onsen, and I’m glad I chose Yumoto Saito Ryokan. Everything was excellent. The service was attentive, the meals were carefully prepared and delicious, and the baths were clean and relaxing. The Room was a spacious Japanese-Western style room. It made me want to come back again!

The Onsen was truly wonderful, just as rumored. Despite being a secluded hot spring, the meals were excellent and the hospitality was genuinely pleasant.

Both the Room and the entire Accommodation were clean, and we had a very comfortable stay. The Onsen warmed us through to the core and helped relieve our travel fatigue. The meals were a delight both visually and in taste, and the steak in particular was outstanding. We had no contact with other guests, making it a quiet, relaxing space. Conversations with the staff were also pleasant, and we were very satisfied. We would love to visit again in a different season.

My family asked to visit Kamikochi and Shirahone Onsen, so I made a Reservation at the long-admired Awanoyu with its milky-blue waters—and they were thrilled. From the moment we arrived, we were impressed by the thoughtful attention to every detail. The chef’s outstanding dishes, featuring local ingredients and seasonal flavors, were unforgettable. The Onsen was unlike any we had experienced before and left us relaxed in both body and mind. We were also deeply moved by the warm, understated hospitality of the proprietress and all the staff. We found an Accommodation we want to return to right away—thank you for a wonderful memory!

This was my first stay, and both the view and the meals were excellent. The large public bath was a bit too hot for me, but I really enjoyed the massage chair. The Room was wonderful, so I made a Reservation for my next stay because I want to stay in the same Room again. I’m looking forward to it, and I hope to visit again soon.

I was hoping to visit Kamikochi and enjoy an Onsen, but this Ryokan was even better than I expected. The bath had wonderful water and a great atmosphere, and the meals were delicious. The staff’s hospitality was also excellent. I went with my family, and everyone was very satisfied—it became a great memory for us all.

Stayed with my mother. The meals were absolutely exquisite, just as expected. The service was attentive, and the clean room made for a comfortable stay. Although the bath was slightly small, we were fortunate that there were only a few other guests, allowing us to relax and enjoy it. If I may suggest, it would be convenient to have hand towels in the room's washbasin area matching the number of guests staying in that room for face washing purposes. Even with that minor point, it was a very satisfying accommodation.

Thank you very much for your hospitality. We stayed here during our trip to Norikura. It rained all day, so it was a disappointing day, but the Onsen at Misuzuso and the delicious dinner were truly soothing and turned it into a wonderful day. We used the coin laundry. We didn’t know how to use it, but the staff kindly showed us, and everyone was very courteous. Thank you again.

I stayed at this Accommodation the day before visiting Kamikochi. They kindly accommodated my early-morning departure. Dinner was delicious and very satisfying. Because I was leaving early, I skipped breakfast, but next time I’d like to enjoy breakfast and stay longer. The bathwater was clear; perhaps that’s just its natural characteristic, but it was still very nice. The staff were also very helpful. I would definitely like to stay again.

Although it is a relatively quiet, rustic Onsen area, the Room and Facility were very clean after the renovation. With only seven rooms, it was very peaceful and relaxing. The meals offered a wide variety of dishes and were very satisfying. There are two private open-air baths and one large public bath for men and women, and we were able to fully enjoy the Onsen thanks to the milky white sulfur spring water.

This was my first stay, and I was completely satisfied with the Accommodation. The meals, Onsen, and service were all excellent. Although the price is a bit high, it was well worth it. I was also able to relax and unwind in the open-air bath, which was almost like having it to myself.

I had long admired the Kamikochi Imperial Hotel. I had visited Kamikochi several times for hiking, and each time I hoped to stay there someday. This time, the timing worked out and I was finally able to visit. For our family it felt like a special treat, but we were truly impressed—not only by the wonderful location and beautiful building, but also by how delicious the food was. Above all, we were moved by the outstanding hospitality: every staff member spoke to us warmly yet politely, even the housekeeping team greeted us with a smile, and they treated our preschool-aged child with such kindness and care. I’m not sure when we’ll be able to return, but we definitely want to come back again. Thank you very much!

I visited for a stay after skiing at Hoonoki-daira Ski Resort. The open-air cypress bath made by the owner's father was very pleasant, and I enjoyed it twice, at night and in the morning. I really liked the temperature of the water, its size, and the view. The food was also very delicious, and we ended up drinking too much sake, but both my wife and I were very satisfied. With skiing, onsen, and delicious meals, this is a property I definitely want to visit again.
