Mori-Miyanohara Station × Highly rated for dining at Hotel·Ryokan

I stayed here to relax at an Onsen Accommodation. The homemade, heartfelt dishes were truly delicious. Dinner was great, but breakfast was especially memorable—the simmered royal fern, Tochio fried tofu and bamboo shoots, and simmered potatoes were outstanding. The potato salad was also excellent; the woman next to me had finished hers and asked for seconds, so I requested an extra serving as well. After bathing, I opened the Room window and enjoyed the pleasant night breeze from the satoyama countryside, soothed by a chorus of frogs. I was very satisfied!

We stayed for two nights during the Golden Week holidays. The staff were very welcoming, and we thoroughly enjoyed Nozawa’s hot springs in comfort. It’s an ideal location for visiting the public bathhouses. We would love to stay here again.

We stayed here for a family trip combined with our annual visit to the graves in Niigata. The building is old, and there was an unpleasant smell outside the room, possibly due to an out-of-service restroom nearby. However, the room was clean, and the Onsen was very relaxing. The Hotel staff were very kind, and we would like to stay here again on our next visit.

Although I stayed for only one night, I was completely satisfied with everything. All of the staff were very pleasant, and the Room was clean and comfortable—I immediately wanted to come back and stay again. The dinner and breakfast at the counter were especially outstanding! You can watch the cooking right in front of you, and you can really feel the care that goes into each dish. I’ve already recommended it to my friends.

Mr./Ms. Chitose stayed with us for the third time this year. One of this Accommodation’s highlights is the meals, but above all, it’s the quality of the hot spring water. We look forward to visiting again.

A luxury to soak in the hot water while listening to Japanese bush warblers during the day and a chorus of frogs at night. The spring-inspired meals were also delicious and truly enjoyable. There aren’t any particularly special amenities or services, but everything feels comfortable—from walking barefoot on the tatami floors throughout the property to the subtle aroma in the air—and it’s genuinely relaxing. The building seems old, but it’s kept very clean, with no faults at all. It was so quiet that I could clearly hear the pleasant snoring from the next room—perhaps part of its charm. The Onsen is, of course, wonderful as well.\nI would definitely love to visit again.

After 25 years of visiting Nozawa Onsen just for skiing without staying overnight, this was my first stay. The Onsen was incredibly relaxing, and since it’s available all night, I went in from around 5 a.m.! Every dish was delicious; being in season, we had bamboo shoot rice. The attendant’s hospitality was wonderful, and we had a great conversation about visiting Togakushi Okusha the next day. Breakfast the following morning was also very enjoyable. I’m grateful to have stayed at such a lovely Accommodation and to all the staff. I’d love to stay again!

I stayed at Naraya Ryokan before moving overseas in November. I won’t be back for a while, but I’m glad I had the chance to stay at such a wonderful Ryokan. The Room, meals, and Onsen were all excellent.

This was my first stay. The Onsen is hot, but it warms you up wonderfully. The meals were beautifully presented, and even the simple dishes served in small bowls were delicious. I was completely satisfied with every dish. The Facility has many stairs, so it’s a good workout for your legs, and the hallways are lined with one painting after another—making even the long corridors enjoyable!! All of the staff were very kind as well. Thank you very much for taking such good care of us!!

We also welcomed international guests! It was awesome!

This time, I stayed for a one-night trip with a friend after not traveling together for a while. I had previously stayed here for my mother’s birthday, and although it was my first visit in four years, the baths were still wonderful. Above all, I love the location right in the heart of the Onsen town, and I fully enjoyed the Onsen—visiting Oyu twice as well. We booked a breakfast-only Plan, and we were very satisfied with the hearty breakfast; my friend then headed back to Osaka.

I stayed at another Accommodation in the same group not long ago, but this was my first return to Tamakiya in 10 years. Last time, discovering Abe Shuzo through the sake pairing was a real highlight, so I did it again this time. Since it was a special occasion, I decided to pay the extra fee and choose the optional premium sake course. It more than lived up to expectations—I truly enjoyed a wide range of excellent sakes, including some with a playful twist. The sommelier’s stories were fascinating, and I wished I could have listened even longer. I was traveling solo, but the staff were consistently courteous and attentive, no different from how they treated larger groups, which I really appreciated. The food was also outstanding: a course featuring plenty of local Niigata ingredients, with every dish delicious from appetizers to dessert. Next time, I’d love to stay in midwinter when there’s deep snow.

The location was great, and the Onsen was relaxing and felt very clean. The meals were also delicious. One thing I noticed was that the heat for the shabu-shabu pot was weak and the burn time was short, so when we added the meat it took a long time for the temperature to rise. Also, even though there was still meat left, the fuel ran out and we had to bring back a full new set of equipment.

This was my second time staying in Nozawa Onsen, and I wanted to try a different accommodation from last time. After reading various reviews online, I decided on this place. There are many public onsen baths near the accommodation, and I enjoyed visiting several of them. The large bath at the accommodation alternates between night and morning use, and since the autumn leaves were beautiful at the time, soaking in the bath while enjoying the view was amazing! The provided amenities were from POLA, which was excellent. Both dinner and breakfast were incredibly delicious—I even had three bowls of rice! The staff members were very kind; it felt almost unfair to pay such a reasonable price for such great service. If I had to mention one downside, as noted in other reviews as well, it would be that the futon mattress was thin with just one layer, making it slightly uncomfortable to sleep on. However, overall, I was extremely satisfied! I'd love to stay here again!

I made a Reservation at this Accommodation because of the great Reviews. It was just as wonderful as the Reviews said, and I was very satisfied. The building is tastefully designed and offers a relaxing, comfortable space, and each dish was carefully handmade with local ingredients and tasted delicious. The hostess was also very kind and helpful. I would definitely like to stay here again.

The building exudes a sense of history, though the stairs may not be ideal for those with mobility concerns, the atmosphere is exceptional. Located next to the public bath "Oyu," it is perfect for visiting all 13 public baths in the area. The meals were excellent, and the hospitality from the hostess and accommodation staff was kind and appreciated. This is an accommodation I would love to visit again during a different season.

The owner was very kind and took great care of me. I visited solo on a motorcycle, and they even prepared a garage for me, so I could park safely with peace of mind. The interior is a typical traditional guesthouse, but it is well maintained and feels very comfortable. And the meals were truly delicious, full of local ingredients—especially the tempura made with Japanese pepper leaves (sansho). It was my first time trying it, and it was amazing! I was completely satisfied with both dinner and breakfast. As for bathing, there are many public baths nearby, which is very convenient. They also kindly lent me shampoo and soap—too kind! I was so satisfied that the value for money almost made me worry. Highly recommended!

I have stayed here multiple times. The food and Onsen are always exceptional. You can fully enjoy the Onsen even during the green season. I believe I will visit again.

The place had a warm and homely atmosphere, perfect for a relaxing stay. As we had heard from reviews, the meals were made with local ingredients, offering a variety of dishes that were delicious and highly satisfying. The location was also excellent, with a public Onsen just nearby.

The accommodation has been renovated and is very beautiful. The dining area is also very clean and atmospheric, and the food was absolutely delicious, making it a highly satisfying experience. Above all, the staff were incredibly kind, making it a very comfortable place to stay. I would love to visit again. Thank you in advance!
