Hidden Gem

This was the unexpected highlight of the trip. We booked here as our first location option at gala was full, and what a surprise it was. It's very Japanese for a westerner but a beautiful experience. Very warm and clean.

Wonderful Ryokan

This ryokan has an excellent hot spring on-site. Their breakfast is excellent, and the staff were kind and accommodating. The room was quiet and very comfortable. However, most of the restaurants in Yuzawa close at 7 pm during the off-season (summer), so their shuttles don't run after 6 or 7 pm during the week. It can be a bit inconvenient.

温泉が素晴らしい。ちょうど良い温度。湯上り用時のお楽しみも用意してくれていた。お料理も地元のお料理も味わうことが出来、量も品数も多く、どれも美味しかった。施設の老朽化は所々あるものの、それも味わいのひとつ。清掃は行き届いており、快適に過ごすことができた。止まった部屋は改装されており、書き物によい机もあって心地よい空間だった。山の景色、温泉、虫の声、そして美味しいお食事とゆっくり過ごすのに欲しいものが全てあった。

温泉がとても良い

温泉は源泉掛け流しで、アルカリ性の硫黄泉。肌がつるつるになります。夕食も頂いたのですが、自家製のふのり蕎麦やわらびの煮物など地味があり美味しい。駅から遠いのが難点でしたが、送迎サービス延長中で温泉街に出るのも楽で助かりました。サービスもにこやかで、改装工事が終わったら、また伺いたいと思います。

本が沢山並んだアンティークな感じがいい。

よく見ていないのでよく分かりませんが、駐車場が停められる台数が少ない上、他のホテル専用駐車場もあるので、どこが高半の駐車場か分かりにくかった点がありました。初めて来た方は恐らく迷ってしまうのではないかと思います。私はバイクで向かいましたが、駐車場を案内する方はいましたので助かりました。 あと、チェックインの受付は外国の方に対応していただきました。まだ日本語と接客に慣れていない部分があったのか全体的に館内の説明が不十分でした。荷物も結構あったのですが、持つのを手伝ってくれる方がいなかった、エレベーター前まで案内した時、ボタンを荷物一杯の私に押させる等、受付の対応、サービスにつきましては星5の内、星2とさせてください。一方で食事はとても満足しました。案内、提供する方も丁寧で、食事も新潟ならではのもので、良かったです。以上の事から、接客、サービスは星3にしました。 施設もとても綺麗で、本が沢山並んだアンティークな感じがとても好きでした。 ありがとうございました。

何度でも入りたい温泉

リニューアル工事中のため黒い網に囲まれていたのがとても残念でしたが、それ以外は大満足でした。 温泉がとても良かったです。硫黄温ですが、無色透明に近く。でも入るととろりとする感じ。指の傷が回復しました。温度も心地よく、ずっと入っていたかったです。 雪国のDVDも面白かったですが、2時間以上は少し長かったです。(飲物を持って観れば良かった) 資料館も丁寧にご説明頂き興味深かったです。 お食事も大変美味しく、ちょうど良い量で良かったです。 全国の温泉を巡っていますが、またもう一度行きたいと思えるお宿でした。
