It was a wonderful Accommodation, just as the Reviews said. The food, the interior decor throughout the building, and the furnishings in the guest room were all tasteful, and since there were only six groups of guests, we were able to relax even though it was peak season. The staff’s service was also excellent.\nIt was an Accommodation that made us want to come back again for the first time in a while.

The breakfast and dinner buffets were outstanding and truly exciting. I was especially amazed by the wide variety of breads at breakfast. Everything was delicious, but I regret that I couldn’t try them all. We also enjoyed drinks and sweets in the lovely lounge, and the staff’s attentive service made our stay very comfortable. This is an Accommodation I would love to visit again.

Because we have a child, we were looking for an Accommodation with in-room dining and a private open-air bath in the Room. After lots of searching, we decided to stay at Yaeno. First of all, the staff member assigned to our Room was easy to talk to and had a warm, motherly presence. We also really appreciated the thoughtful care for families with children. We enjoyed our meal slowly over two hours, and our child was served a luxurious set meal as well and happily ate it. The bath was incredibly relaxing—I used it about seven times. I’m particular about choosing a Ryokan with a private open-air bath in the guest room, but they’re often too hot, too small, or too humid… Surprisingly few are truly comfortable for a long soak. However, at Yaeno the temperature was just right and it felt wonderful. We could also take our time until 11:00 on departure day, so I highly recommend it for families with children. I’d love to come back again in winter.

This was my second stay this year since my visit in June. I stayed in a detached Room and was able to relax deeply. The meals are described as “Yamabito cuisine,” and they were delicious, healthy, and truly something you can’t easily experience elsewhere. Thank you very much.

Our family of three stayed here. The guest room with an open-air bath had an amazing view of the trees through the window. The meals were delicious, and we loved the post-bath ice pops, late-night inari sushi, morning coffee service, board games, and the excellent loan services such as a rotating hair dryer and a NanoCare hair dryer. It was relaxing and quiet, and we were able to unwind from everyday fatigue. The Onsen water was also wonderful. Highly recommended Accommodation.

This was my third stay, and the warm hospitality was as wonderful as ever. This time I stayed in the Japanese-style Room “Odamaki” for the first time; it has a spacious layout, and the wide veranda truly lives up to its name! The chair was very comfortable, and I spent most of my time in the Room right there. After enjoying the private open-air bath, I relaxed completely at the private café “Ume no Mitsu.” It’s great that there’s a massage chair, and the homemade sweets were delicious. There are two private baths in the property; they’re compact, but both are very comfortable. I’m on Team Yamakaze. The meals were also excellent with nothing to complain about—I especially loved the tomato mousse. I also love shiso rice and wanted seconds, but I was already full so I held back. Next time I’ll make sure to save more room in my stomach. I’m looking forward to visiting again.

We arrived late for check-in, and we really appreciated you adjusting the dinner time. Both dinner and breakfast were carefully prepared, and everything was delicious. The building felt a bit old, but the Room had been renovated and was very comfortable. I didn’t realize the bath featured a mural by Kiyoshi Yamashita when I went in, but it became a wonderful memory.

The meals were absolutely delicious. Each dish was thoughtfully prepared with care. The view from the open-air bath was beautiful, and soaking slowly was the best. The hospitality from the Accommodation staff was wonderful as well. I’d love to come again.

It was my first visit in 13-14 years. This time, it coincided with the first snowfall, but luckily the weather was clear and sunny, making for two perfect days of snowy scenery. The air was crisp, offering breathtaking views and a wonderful experience in the snow-viewing bath

This stay was highly satisfying from start to finish. The Room was spacious, and I was able to relax in a calm atmosphere. Dinner offered an even wider variety than I expected; each dish tasted wonderful, the portions were generous, and I was completely satisfied. Breakfast also featured a great selection of small dishes, and I really liked the style of choosing freely from what I preferred—it made for a very fulfilling meal to start the day. The Onsen water was especially memorable, with a gentle softness that seemed to blend into the body. Not only did it ease my shoulder pain, but I could also feel my skin becoming smooth. In addition, the attentive and heartfelt hospitality unique to a long-established Ryokan further enhanced the quality of the stay. From check-in to check-out, all staff members were considerate and attentive, allowing me to feel comfortable throughout. Overall, this was an excellent Ryokan where everything—cuisine, Onsen, Room comfort, and service—was of a high standard. It is an Accommodation I would definitely like to visit again.

It was our first time visiting Oigami Onsen, and the three of us stayed here with my elderly mother. This Accommodation is the only one set on such spacious grounds, and it was obvious at a glance how different it is from the others. Dinner was thoughtfully prepared, and the Joshu beef steak in particular was tender and delicious. The only slight disappointment was that the souvenir shop inside didn’t have much variety, so there wasn’t anything I wanted to buy. I would have appreciated a wider selection of food items. I also became curious about Senkyo’s history and ended up looking it up. Thank you very much for taking care of us.

I’ve lost count of how many times I’ve stayed here. Every time, all the meals are delicious. I usually stay for two nights, and I’m always very satisfied to be able to relax in the Room’s Onsen and enjoy plenty of reading at my leisure. I’ve recommended it to relatives and friends, and they were delighted. I’ll be back again.

The room was assigned by the hotel but was spacious enough for two people and very comfortable. The private bath with a snowy view was stunning, making us truly glad we came. With so many baths available, we enjoyed soaking throughout our stay and were extremely satisfied.

This was my second stay, and the breakfast and dinner were excellent, with attentive staff as well. Another highlight is having dinner served in your Room. There seem to be many repeat guests, and the large number of female guests may be proof of how good the food is. The Onsen is also wonderful, making it easy to unwind and relax—so I can see myself becoming a repeat guest. As an aside, access by car is convenient, but if you are traveling by train, getting to Yubiso Station is not very convenient, so it’s best to check in advance.

The Onsen inside the property was wonderful, and the private open-air bath in the detached annex was outstanding in both its Facility and the view. The open-air bath in particular was incredibly soothing, set in a location shaped by nature. We had both dinner and breakfast, and if only I’d had a bit more room in my stomach…I would have loved to enjoy even more. My one regret is that there were dishes I passed on. Everything we did have was excellent. I really appreciated being told when the tempura at dinner was freshly fried—it was absolutely delicious. Thank you as well for making my “everything included” omelet at breakfast come true. I didn’t know there would be a doctor fish experience, but it was so much fun it made me let out a weird sound.

If you love Onsen, this place is truly heaven—there are 18 private baths. This was my third stay, and I still haven’t managed to try them all. The detached cottage “Aoi” has its own open-air bath, which is absolutely wonderful. I always end up completely satisfied just using the bath in the Room. The spring quality is a simple Onsen (slightly alkaline, hypotonic, high-temperature) with a pH of 8.3. It feels gentle on the skin and is easy to enjoy in a different way from more distinctive springs like sulfur Onsen. It’s comfortable for longer soaks, and being able to enjoy it many times during your stay is part of the appeal. Many of the open-air baths have a rustic, DIY-like feel. Numerous private baths are scattered across the vast grounds, and I can only imagine how much work it must be to maintain and manage so many. Because this Accommodation is surrounded by nature, things like insects and fallen leaves are somewhat unavoidable. In July there were quite a few insects, and when I visited last September I also had trouble with biting gnats. Even so, this Accommodation has more than enough charm to make up for it. The source spring has an abundant flow rate, and the source temperature is very high at 76.1°C. To bring it down to a comfortable temperature, adding water may sometimes be necessary. As an Onsen lover, I’d ideally like to enjoy pure free-flowing water without dilution—but with such a high-temperature source spring, I understand that temperature control can be challenging. Many of the staff are from overseas, but everyone speaks Japanese well and I’ve never felt inconvenienced. They are always polite and attentive. And despite being such a secluded hot-spring retreat, it’s great that the meals are genuinely delicious as well. This time we ordered sukiyaki as an extra dish; it was excellent and very satisfying. In winter this area apparently gets extremely heavy snowfall. Next time I’d love to visit in winter and enjoy an outdoor bath while admiring snowy scenery.

As guests born in the Showa era, we found this wonderful Showa bubble–style Accommodation to be the best. It was spotlessly clean, and both the hot water and the meals were excellent. It was quiet, and we could relax at a leisurely pace. We will visit again together with trips to Oze and Fukiware Falls.

We stayed in a Room with a private bath. We almost got lost on the way to the bath and dining area. The bath was excellent. There were many foreign staff members, but their Japanese was very good, and everyone was kind and took great care of us. The meals were also delicious. It may be unavoidable, but the exterior glass was dirty, which was the only slightly disappointing point.

The Onsen was wonderful. We couldn’t finish all the meals. We’d like to stay again.

My husband grew up in a ranch in Hokkaido, while I was raised in the city. Drawn to this thatched-roof Accommodation, we stayed here for the first time. From the view at the entrance, we were amazed by the extraordinary, nostalgic buildings and the rice fields spreading out in front of them! We both fell completely in love with it. The Onsen is also wonderful—the free-flowing natural spring water is slightly lukewarm, perfect for a long soak. It leaves your skin feeling soft and moisturized. What’s especially impressive about this Accommodation is the many furnishings and antiques placed throughout, delighting the eyes everywhere you look! It feels like visiting an art museum. Truly amazing! My husband can be quite particular, but he absolutely loved it and says he definitely wants to come again in autumn. Getting to the annex using the cart and monorail was also fun and brought back childhood memories. Thank you so much for such a wonderful place.
