The room and bathroom was clean and nice. We were driving but there were ample parking lots. We got the free welcome drinks, free ice cream, free chazuke and free morning coffee during our stay. We were able to see sunset from our room too. The public bath was clean too with all amenities provided, even with massage chairs. Totally enjoy our stay, the receptionist spoke good english too. very recommended.
We stayed on 24 to 26 Dec 25. Good hotel but far from everything else. Need to be flexible since weather was unpredictable.
We had no snow -just rain for two days, but when we checked out, we had heavy snow which disrupted our travel to Toyama with many trains cancellation and delays (a car stuck on the railroad track).
The hotel shuttle bus picks up at Minami-Otari station.
There are four coin-operated washing machines and four dryers which were always taken on 3rd Floor.
I would advise staying longer than two days and prepare for travel time as it took nearly 20 minutes for a bus ride to Iwatake each way.
Hotel staff service was top tier. Check-in counter staff allowed me to use their telephone for local call when I needed it urgently and even asked if I would be okay with Japanese and offered to help me call. Felt really relieved that help was provided without me asking and it was really touching. Check in counter staff were also sincere with their service and had wide smiles on their faces.
The room was quite old but clean, quite contrasting to the modern lobby they had.
Breakfast was amazing, so much choices (from smoothies to a katsu station) and delicious. Would recommend if you have the time in the morning.
Family new hotel with 5 stars service from.all the staffs. Plenty of freebies like ice cream, coffee and late night Ramen for supper.
It is a hotel like a semi-Ryokan, no shoes and walk on socks or bare footed on tatami flooring.
We took a quadruple room and stayed for 3 nights. Size iis adequate for couple use. Onsen facilities is great with both indoor and outdoor hot spring bath. Bonus point is the sauna with different aroma everyday.
Location is perfect, walking distance to train and around 25mins walk to the castle. Restaurants are all close by less than 20mins walk.
Breakfast included and I will grade it as value for money.
Highly recommended to book your stay.
It was a great experience to stay in this hotel! Very nice view and staff are very polite and willing to answer many questions. Outdoor area is very big that we could take bicycles with kids. Also there are kids outdoor playground that can spend whole day there.
We really enjoy staying at this hotel. We still got lost in the hotel after 2 days of staying here 🤣 the hotel is damn huge like a city. But we will come back again next time. We had a great great stay, love walking over to the outlet for shopping. Will appreciate if hotel can give free parking and free entry for onsen.
We booked three rooms for three adults, but one turned out to be a sofa bed. It was quite hard and narrow (around 90cm wide), making it very uncomfortable for an adult to sleep on. While the suite's living room was exceptionally spacious, it felt largely wasted. The hotel's spa wasn't particularly impressive, so we skipped it. Overall, for over 7000, it was quite disappointing. However, the hotel's location is truly superb, offering great convenience for getting around. Due to this experience, I wouldn't book a suite again. The room's carpet also had a persistent, unpleasant odor that wouldn't dissipate, even with the door closed, and the bathroom's shower fixtures weren't working properly. The hotel's courtyard, though pretty, was far too small. On the positive side, the service was genuinely excellent, and the complimentary round-trip shuttle service to the train station was incredibly convenient. A standard room might be acceptable for a single night's stay, primarily because of the fantastic location.
The hot spring is great, and the water quality is very comfortable. 👍👍
The breakfast is delicious, and dinner is good too, but the menu never changes; it's the same every day. If you're staying for a longer ski trip, everything tastes bad after two days. 😓
The location is very convenient if you have your own car. If not, taking a taxi is also easy, though sometimes you have to wait a bit longer.
None of the staff speak English. Every time, they just give you a look that says, 'I don't understand, sorry, I can't help you,' which is very frustrating. 🥲🥲
**Hygiene:** I stayed at this hotel for 5 nights. Upon check-in, they said the room would be cleaned once after three days. However, three days passed, and even after reminding them, no one came to clean. No one cleaned the room until we left. I had to clean it myself every day like a housekeeper. 🥹
**Room:** The space is quite large. The overall feel is like a 70s-80s hotel. If you like a nostalgic vibe, it's pretty good.
The overall price is reasonable, it's a good place, and I'd come back here to ski next time. 👍👍 But I'll definitely bring an AI translator next time, otherwise, communication will be impossible. 😅😅
The inn is exquisitely decorated, with a classic, elegant style. It's spotless and tidy, and the rooms are filled with Japanese charm; even the lamps and telephones are reusable vintage items, which is quite unique.
The men's and women's hot spring baths are alternated for guests' use. There's also a separate open-air bath, which is very comfortable.
Breakfast and dinner were delicious, beautifully presented, and the service was attentive.
I would love to stay here again if I had the chance to return.
Really beautiful resort, love the free rental Onsen it’s really nice, if you don’t need room cleaning service you can get 2000yen coupon for souvenir shop. It’s close to the outlet only 10mins driving distance. There is a 7 eleven close to the hotel but need to be aware that the convenience store will be closed at 2300.
Very Good

Amazing
CChenieeOne of the best hotels I’ve stayed in. We visited in early November 2025 during the autumn season, and the beautiful foliage added such a romantic touch to the surroundings.
I loved the modern interior, the comfortable bed, and the overall room layout. The hotel looks incredibly romantic at night too, especially with the reflections on the pond.
The outdoor onsen was a highlight. It felt serene at night, and the maple trees lit up in the evening made it absolutely scenic. The onsen is located in a separate building, so you do have to walk through the cold, but it wasn’t an issue as the hotel provides thicker robes. If I had to nitpick, the indoor slippers weren’t the most comfortable.
We drove during our stay, so getting to nearby attractions was easy. There’s a large supermarket and a pharmacy about 5–10 minutes away, which was very convenient — we didn’t even need to visit any convenience stores.
This hotel impressed me so much that it made me look up where else Hotel Indigo has branches in Japan!
MMeowVanWhat an awesome experience! The hotel offered exemplary service before we even arrived. Due to special travel arrangements, we arrived late and the staff quick to arrange an in-room bento dinner for us before our arrival. When we got there, we were immediately blown away by the gorgeousness of the hotel.
Despite its age, everything was very clean and polished. I can see that great care had been taken to upkeep the hotel and it’s premises, which are extraordinarily beautiful. We couldn’t resist taking pictures even after check-out, and it took us an hour to finally reluctantly leave. Words cannot actually do the place justice, you must visit there yourself.
We were very impressed with how delicious the food was, and the attention to detail, including the placement of the food, the coordination of food color. My mouth is still watering as I recall how delicious it was. I had 10 helpings of their prime rib one day. Besides, I had a dietary restriction and the staff were really careful with that, to the extent of reminding me what dishes not to eat everyday at their breakfast and dinner buffet.
In addition to excellent food and service, the hotel went out of its way to be very eco-friendly. For every day that we did not need our room to be tidied, we earned points, which can be traded in for ice cream or other goodies.
Finally, the staff spoke perfect English. This is rare indeed, and it made everything so much easier and so much more enjoyable. Thanks for the experience!

GGuest UserI stayed at this hotel for one night, and overall, it was quite a pleasant experience.
I really liked my room — it was clean, modern, and comfortable. The only thing that surprised me was that the window to the balcony didn’t open, though I suppose it was designed that way.
The onsen was absolutely wonderful — spacious, relaxing, and with a beautiful view of a mountain river. Definitely one of the highlights of my stay.
The hotel also offers many different areas for leisure and entertainment. You can play table tennis, relax in cozy rest zones, visit small cafés and shops — there’s a lot to explore without even leaving the building.
Both breakfast and dinner were delicious, with a wide variety of food to choose from. However, due to the number of guests, it was a bit challenging for the staff to manage everything smoothly. On two occasions, someone almost took my table, even though I had already placed the reservation card on it to show it was taken.
That said, the staff overall were very pleasant, friendly, and helpful, and I appreciated their attitude throughout my stay.
This hotel is clearly family-oriented, with many families staying with young children. There are rooms with child-friendly designs and dedicated play areas, so if you’re looking for a quiet, adult-only atmosphere, this might not be the best fit.
That said, I genuinely enjoyed my stay and would consider coming back.
CChristyI am highly recommended to the couple and family stay with this hotel
The check-in is very personal, room set up are incredible.
All the staff are very nice, helpful and professional.
The food was great in all seasonal dishes. The dish presentation is like a piece of art.
The Osen facility is cozy and nice. You can't miss the outdoor osen with the nature

AAnonymous UserThe hotel is clean and the lady boss is friendly. We didn't meet at Yudanaka Station, but we were dropped off at the station when we left. We were also dropped off for free when we went to see the snow monkeys. It's not far, and you can walk there. The hotel's private hot spring is very good. I don't want to soak in the public hot springs outside. The free milk in the hotel is delicious, but it may be out of stock during breakfast. I booked a one-night stay with two meals, and the food was simple, which I felt was not worth the price I booked.
GGuest UserI booked a room for two. Spacious, clean everywhere, a large set of accessories. Excellent breakfast and dinner. Transfer from the train and back strictly on schedule. The staff is Russian-speaking, responsive. There are general and personal sources. No time limits. Immersion in the culture of the ryokan. Wonderful for one day
WWei LeThis place is ~5mins walk from Zenkoji temple. neighborhood is peaceful at night.
Shoes to be removed outside the accommodation. Rooms are on the 2nd floor so you'll have to carry your luggage up (there's no lift).
Room (with window) is huge. You'll have to head downstairs to use the shared toilet and shared onsen (no toilet inside the room).
We were only allowed 30mins of onsen time for 2 pax - couples weren't allowed to use the onsen concurrently so we had to go one after another (i'm not sure if the instructions got lost in translation..). Felt very rushed so i didnt really get to enjoy the onsen experience, but overall was nice and clean.
Interesting 6.30am tour around the area and within the temple itself, followed by a simple vegetarian breakfast (porridge with omakase-styled sides with miso soup) back at the accommodation. The morning tour lasted from 6.30am - 8.30am.
The accommodation provided a fleece blanket to each pax to bring to Zenkoji temple to keep us warm during the morning praying ceremony. We went on 30 Dec and it was SO COLD.
Overall interesting experience but accommodation price is pretty steep IMO.
AAnonymous UserIt's a 10 mins walk uphill from train station so maybe better to try to contact them for a complimentary pick up.
The place is super grand and 2 onsens. A Instagram worthy one that the males and females get to use it at different timings. The shower stuff in the onsen are mediocre though. No fancy facial stuff for women unlike some other onsens at this price range.
We had breakfast and dinner for the 2 nights. And well worth it. But you have to follow a fixed timing and we felt a bit rushed but otherwise it was really great and service perfect.
We had one the biggest rooms I believe Room 716. Had a sitting area and also a sleeping area. Easily fits 8 persons. We were only 2. In the day they kept the futons and brought it out at night. Towels changed every night.
There is a van that goes straight to Mount Yokoteyama ski resort. The receptionist didn't seem to know about it but you could try to Google. It was a complimentary ride to and fro if you bought the lift tickets. Took only like 30 mins to get there. You can get rentals at hotels there.
