Find Ryokans in Yuzawa, Japan

We upgraded the Japanese style room we booked through Agoda and stayed in the ryokan's Sara suite. It was a perfect getaway for 2! The staff was very friendly, and the ryokan's GM, Tomoko, explained everything we need to know and even gave tidbits about Japanese culture--how to use the onsen, how to wear the yukata provided, and how to drink matcha. The suite had everything we needed, it had its own private onsen and a massage chair, which were perfect after a day of skiing at Gala Yuzawa snow resort. The Japanese style beds were very comfortable, and the whole ambience of the suite was very relaxing and peaceful. And the highlight of our stay was the Japanese kaiseki dinner that we booked, and the Japanese breakfast that was included in the package--very delicious and it completed our ryokan experience.

We stayed at ryokan room with share bathroom. Room is big and clean. It is comfortable and with full amenities. (Green tea, electric water boiler, refrigerator, toothpaste, toothbrush, razor, towel). Share bathroom is clean, with bath gel and shampoo. The hotel has free private onsen in open space (45 mins each for each booking), nice and good experience. The common area also equipped with Microwave, and vending machines, very considerate! We had breakfast in the hotel, it is in Japanese style, very tasty and big portion. We had breakfast for two days and it was the same food. It will be great if hotel can change the breakfast menu daily. Hotel is not far from Echigo-Yuzawa Station, just approx 5 mins walk. Hotel owner also pick up and drop us off on arrival and departure. Very nice and friendly. Just 3 mins walk there is a snow resort, very convenient. Definitely will come back, highly recommend!

Visited the Yuzawa Onsen during winter in the skiing season. The hotel is located just opposite the station and the bus stop with the shuttle buses to the various ski resorts like GALA Yuzawa, Yuzawa Kogen and Naeba is just in front of the hotel. The room I was given is very spacious and have a view of the station and the surrounding hills and mountains. There are two hot spring baths in the hotel. There is a small hot spring bath on the upper floors separate from the indoor baths which are on another floor. I booked with a half-board plan and both dinner and breakfast were sumptuous and beautifully presented. The rice is a signature of this region and it was really good. If you are not keen on a heavy meal, you could opt for meals at the station which are rather affordable and open till rather late. Overall, I had a enjoyable and comfortable stay at Echigo no Oyado Inamoto.

We were travelling with 2 young children, the services & respond are great, accessibility is easy for us with hotel shuttle to pick/drop us to Shinkansen station and to Gala Yuzawa Ski Resort. The furniture is a bit dull, but it shows the character of the place. Hotel staff is exceptionally friendly, helpful & hospitality is top-notch. Managed to visit the laid-back Onsen with my kid during quiet hours. Overall it was an unforgettable stay, we felt pampered during our stay and enjoyed every moment of it. Thank you (“Domo Arigato”) to all Hotel Futaba’s staff for a wonderful experience.

It's my first time to stay in a ryokan/onsen. It's also my first time to experience snow. It's a dream come true. It was really beautiful and fun. It was breath-taking! The Ryokan and the onsen exceed my expectations. All the staff made my stay really special. The staff's hospitality is on point. Love that they have a service (transportation) for the guests, free of charge, from the bus stop to Kaikake Onsen, and going back. They also have extra snow boots for guests (at no cost) just in case you need them. The onsen location is superb. The Ryokan is very neat, clean, and historical. The food is super impressive! Utilities are on point. When the manager learned that I was alone, but booked a room for 2, they gave me complimentary shots of different kinds of Japanese sake at dinner. Super grateful for the management's and the staff's kindness. There are more, but I guess you need to experience it for yourself. Hands down to Rina, for touring me around, and for making me feel at home.

My wife and I was here in late December 2018 for 2 nights. We wish we stayed longer. White Horse is a really nice wooden concept Inn about 100m away from Mitsumata ropeway. Access from Echigo-yuzawa station is about 20 minutes by an hourly Public Bus. (Bus No. 1) The Inn is warm and equipped with a shared cooking and dining area. Coming from South East Asia, the weather was really cold for us (-6 degrees when we were there), but the Inn was really comfortable and has a number of heaters in the common areas to keep you warm. It felt like staying at a friends place. The rooms were basic but spacious. The beds were comfy and this is important after being bashed up in Kagura as first time skiers. The Inn owner Nori is a really friendly person who goes out of his way to make you feel at home. The Inn also provide full ski/snowboard equipment rental at good rates and you can get discounted Kagura Ski Resort passes from him. Highly recommended and we hope to come back!
