Echigo Yuzawa Yumoto Tamago no Yu Yukiguni no Yado Takahan

This was a wonderful Accommodation that made my first trip to Niigata truly special.While the building and furnishings showed their age,there were programs where we could enjoy local culture, such as shamisen performances and readings about the snow country,and thoughtful amenities like sake lees face packs, Japanese sake, and coffee,making it an Accommodation where we could fully enjoy Yuzawa.All of the staff, as well as the shamisen instructor, were outstanding. Thank you very much for your hospitality.

This is my fourth stay. I visit for therapeutic Onsen stays outside the ski season. The free-flowing simple spring water is a lukewarm bath, making it perfect for this purpose. With their own valuable private source, fresh water is constantly supplied in generous volume, and I really love it.Many truly free-flowing Onsen are located far away in the mountains, but here you’re just a 5-minute Shuttle Service ride from the Shinkansen station—an Accommodation that’s easy to visit. Of course, both the Accommodation and the service are wonderful. It’s a historic, traditional retro inn, yet their commitment to cleanliness is exceptionally high. Thank you as always for keeping everything so spotless; it makes for a very comfortable stay.Many of the staff are international, but they have a calm demeanor and leave a great impression. Personally, I consider this a five-star Onsen.Lately I’ve been choosing a Plan without dinner, but I used to have dinner as well—everything was delicious, with plenty of local dishes and gentle seasoning. Breakfast in particular stands out: handmade tofu, simmered fried tofu, noppei-jiru (a local thickened soup), and Koshihikari white rice—always something I look forward to.I plan to visit again next month. Thank you in advance.
