Around Mt. Yokote × Pet-Friendly StaysHighly rated Hotel·Ryokan for Onsen and bath

For guests traveling with dogs to feel comfortable and use the Accommodation with peace of mind, I believe this should be required and consistently enforced. Also, there was no explanation at all about how to use the dog-friendly Room; I think a basic set of rules and guidance

The surrounding area was great for walks with my dog, and the breakfast buffet had a wide variety of delicious options that made me feel happy from the morning. Of course, the Onsen water quality was excellent as well, and I was able to relax and enjoy my time. I made wonderful m

It was within walking distance of Yubatake, and the meals offered a wide variety and were delicious. The Room was so spacious it almost felt like too much, but I was able to relax very comfortably. The open-air bath in the Room wasn’t very private despite being “open-air,” as it could be seen from outside, so I ended up having to lower the blinds, which reduced the sense of openness. Still, it was much better than an indoor bath. There was also a large public Onsen bath, so I could fully enjoy the Onsen there as well.

The Onsen water quality was excellent. From arrival until departure the next morning, we could use the large public bath at any time, and we enjoyed soaking in it many times. The building was kept very clean, and the staff at the Accommodation were wonderful. Although it is located in the central area of Shiga Kogen, it is a quiet environment. The air felt completely different from the heat down below. I think it is also a great base for trekking to places like Takamagahara and Higashidateyama. The only disappointment was that the weather was bad, so we couldn’t see the spectacular Northern Alps view that should have been visible from the window. Next time, I’d like to come back for a retry—possibly during ski season as well.

We stayed with four people and one Maltipoo. It is a little far from the Yubatake, but there is also a dedicated parking lot near the Yubatake that guests can use, which was very helpful. Until check-in, we left our dog at a pet hotel a few minutes’ walk from the Accommodation and enjoyed the Onsen at the Yubatake; after check-in, we all relaxed in the spacious Room. The parking area was also large and easy to park in. Thank you very much.

My wife, my parents, and our dog stayed here. Some pet-friendly Hotels have lots of restrictions in the shared areas (like requiring a crate), so this time we chose this entire house rental. The Facility was clean and had a nice atmosphere, and the bath was very large for one person—very satisfying. There aren’t many items left out, so we felt at ease knowing our dog wouldn’t chew on anything. We didn’t include meals, but we ate out near Yubatake for dinner. For breakfast, we had bought various local foods at roadside stations during our trip, and we enjoyed them together as a family. There were hardly any people around the building, and it was wonderfully quiet—just the sound of insects—so we could relax. I also thought it would be a great place to bring friends visiting from overseas. Also, when we went to pick up the key, the foreign staff member was very kind and helpful. Thank you very much.

The only downside was that it’s a bit far from Yubatake, but otherwise our stay was truly comfortable and satisfying. In any case, the interior is spacious, clean, and stylish. There are two types of baths plus a sauna, and there’s even a projector in the living room—our kids had a great time. It’s a Room that made us think, “We want to live in a place like this!” We’d love to stay again someday!

We stayed here for our ski trip. The location is perfect, right in front of the ski resort. While there are minor points that could affect ratings, overall we were satisfied. The Facility is undeniably old, but the service was good and the meals were as expected. One concern was the slight odor from the drainage in the washing area, which was unfortunate given how great the Onsen was. Also, the cheesecake is absolutely delicious!

The slopes are right in front, and rentals can be arranged at the Hotel, which was very convenient. The meals were luxurious, and we also received souvenirs.

We cooked meals using local organic vegetables, making it a healthy stay. Our dog grew very fond of the lovely owner couple and was overjoyed. Kotone-chan, the adorable Standard Poodle who greeted us at reception, was also incredibly cute. Next time, I’ll practice driving so I ca
