Wafu-No-Yado Masuya Reviews

Wanted a traditional ryokan experience and this ryokan ticked all the boxes! Service was so personable, and the food was so so delicious. Rooms were of decent size as well. Can’t recommend this enough. FYI that there is a pickup service from Yudanaka station to the ryokan. They can send you to the monkey park / Yudanaka station in the morning. If you’re going to the snow monkey park, the ryokan can send your luggage to Yudanaka train station (free) so that you can pick it up when you’re heading from the snow monkey park back to Yudanaka.

My stay at this ryokan in Shibu Onsen was an unforgettable experience! From the moment we arrived, the hospitality was impeccable. The ryokan features private onsen that can be booked in advance, offering an intimate and serene experience. Soaking in the warm, mineral-rich waters while gazing at the surrounding natural beauty was a highlight of the trip. The ryokan’s free shuttle service made exploring the area incredibly convenient. We were easily transported to the iconic Snow Monkey Park, the nearby train station, and other local attractions, which added to the seamless experience. The dining experience was nothing short of spectacular. Both private breakfast and dinner were served in a tranquil setting, with beautifully prepared dishes showcasing the best of seasonal and local ingredients. The flavors were authentic and delicious,

It satisfied all my fantasies about Japanese hot spring hotels. Facilities: We booked an ordinary Japanese-style room with a bathroom, but there was actually a window, but the view was different. The room was considered large in Japan, but the door was a bit small, so there was no place to spread out the suitcase. Environment: When I went there, the male and female hot spring baths had been changed, so I only experienced one. There was a large bath, a small bath, and an open-air bath, but the most comfortable one was the indoor bath, with the most suitable water temperature. There is no private bath that can be reserved, but it is better to go later. If you are lucky, you can get a private bath experience. Service: Very good. The hotel has a car to connect Yudanaka Station to the hotel, but it will be after 2 pm. There is also a route to the Snow Monkey Park, but there is no route back from the park. The hotel is very good. When we just arrived at the hotel, we found that our bag was left at the station. The staff pulled me back to the station to get the bag. I was the only one in the car, and it was a complete chartered car experience. Breakfast and dinner were very rich, and it can be seen that they were made with care, but I don’t like to eat raw food, so I just experienced it and didn’t taste anything different. There was also beef on the day I ate there, and there were many dishes, so it doesn't matter if you don't eat any of them. If you have enough budget, I still recommend trying it! ! ! You can feel the traditional Japanese dining

After seeing the snow monkeys from Jigokudani, the taxi fare is only 1,500 yen. If you don’t have any luggage, you can walk to the hotel. When checking in, the front desk will ask you about your dinner and breakfast times, and also when you plan to leave, so that we can arrange a suitable time to send you to Yudanaka Station. The waiter will then take you to your room. The suite we booked is called Fuyun. It has an entrance hall. There is a bathroom and washing area at the entrance. There are two large Western-style beds behind it. Near the end of the bed is a pair of floor-to-ceiling windows. Further inside is a huge Japanese-style living room. It is enough to lay Japanese-style beds for 4 people. The living room also has a row of windows overlooking the main hotel building and the snow-capped mountains in the distance. There is also a semi-open terrace and a private hot spring. We didn't have time to visit and use the hotel's shared hot springs. The temperature of the hot spring bath in the room is moderate, hot enough but not too hot. I can sit directly in the tub without having to stand on tiptoe to adapt to the temperature. Our dinner was set in a very spacious private room. The food was very rich and there were a lot of vegetables. My child who likes meat but not vegetables would be unhappy. Anyway, I like it very much. If I go to the room after eating too much, I will Have a cup of coffee to help digestion. We have a Nespresso capsule coffee machine in our room, which provides two types of coffee capsules, which suits my taste and is very good! This trip was a quick one and we couldn't arrange time to walk around Yuhataka Station and feel the flavor of the hot spring street. We will come back next time.

The room is super super super great! The food is very rich and delicious. The front desk staff was very friendly from the time we got to the shuttle bus. The owner of the hotel came to greet us at dinner time. She is a very elegant Japanese kimono lady. There is also a collection of precious kimonos in the store, which is worth seeing. The private bath can be booked. Although the area is not large, it is worth experiencing. After checking out the next day, there is a car that can take you to Yudanaka Station or Snow Monkey Park. If you go to the Snow Monkey Park, you will also be given a guide map to Yudanaka Station by bus. In short, it is a very good experience.

The hotel is located in a quiet hot spring town. It is a very clean and warm Japanese-style hotel. The rooms are large and the facilities are complete. It is the most comfortable hotel I stayed in during my few days in Japan. After arriving at the station, a car will pick you up at the hotel. If you want to go to the Snow Monkey Park the next day, there will also be a car to take you there. The luggage will be stored in a cafe near the station. I booked a breakfast set, which has a wide variety of Japanese and Western styles.

During my stay, all the hotel staff and the owner were kind so that I didn't feel any inconvenience due to not being able to speak Japanese. Although I wasn't very good at communicating in English, it wasn't a problem at all, and I felt good and grateful for the kindness and hospitality of all the staff and employees I met throughout my stay. Thanks to the shuttle service, we were able to save time and energy by taking our luggage to the hotel as soon as we arrived and going to the snow monkey park. I requested breakfast and dinner, and the food was clean and tasty, and it was worth the money. My whole family had a great time! Thank you so much.
