Echigo Yuzawa Onsen Ichibo Senri Onyuyado Nakaya

As expected from a renowned rice region, the rice cooked individually in small pots for each guest at dinner on the first night of our two-night stay was simply outstanding. We were already more than full from the delicious meal and kept saying we couldn’t possibly eat any more rice—yet we still found ourselves reaching for it. We even wondered if the water made the difference.For breakfast and dinner on the second night, we had rice served in an ohitsu (wooden tub). It was of course delicious as well, but the first night’s pot-cooked rice was truly unforgettable.The Onsen was wonderfully abundant, and we had an extremely comfortable stay overall.We also really appreciated the Shuttle Service to Yuzawa Station—thank you so much.

The breathtaking views from the open-air bath are truly soothing, and the hot spring water quality is exceptional. The meals are also delicious. Since we chose the stay-in Room Plan, we were able to enjoy our meals at a relaxed pace in our Room. The Shuttle Service is also a welcome amenity.
