The ryokan will provide guests with air-conditioned units with a tatami, a safety deposit box, a flat-screen TV and a private bathroom with a bidet. Some units have a private entrance. At the ryokan, each unit includes bed linen and towels. We have stayed at many onsens around Japan over the years but this place is the very best of any we have stayed! It is a historic building that has 200 + years of history. Even the Japanese emperor stayed here a long time ago. On arrival the building looks a bit old but you quickly learn that it is nothing to be concerned about. Staff members, both old and young are exceptional and carry on the traditions of Japanese hospitality. The food, both breakfast and dinner was exceptional. Great variety of traditional Japanese cuisines. Every meal different items (except rice of course :>) . The natural spring hot tub just outside the room was very spacious. Temperature is adjustable by yourself. Truly a great place to spend 3 nights or more. Neighborhood walking also pleasant.

A recently renovated ryokan in Tokamachi and within 38 km of Gala Yuzawa Snow Resort, Sake Hotel Tamakiya has an open-air bath, comfortable allergy-free rooms and free WiFi. The property features mountain and river views, and is 36 km from Maiko Snow Resort. There is a restaurant serving French cuisine, free private parking and an electric vehicle charging station.

Guests at the ryokan can enjoy an Asian breakfast. The ryokan is located in a geothermal area, with a number of hot springs nearby for guests to relax in. The service when we arrived was absolutely stellar, on top of the amazing hospitality shown Yukiko-san asked about our itinerary and provided us with additional preparatory information which was an absolute lifesaver after the long drive! When we went into our room we found our coats already hung up and its these little things that make the service just so impressive. I also had to wake up the poor staff at around 12AM because we wanted to drive to a konbini nearby, but he was so helpful about it. The room itself was extremely luxurious, warm and comfortable. Everything was extremely clean and well-kept, and my favourite thing was the open-air bath which we were able to enjoy multiple times. The dinner was absolutely top-notch and extremely good value for what was paid. The ingredients were fresh and quality, but the culinary skill applied was nothing short of perfection. One of best meals I've had in Japan and I come very often.

Rankeisou provides a hot spring bath and free private parking, and is within 33 km of Yukyuzan Park and 33 km of Yukyuzan Small Animal Zoo. A public bath is available for guests, along with an open-air bath. The ryokan features a hot tub and a lift. This Ryokan is so beautiful and peaceful. You have to drive a bit from the city center. However, it was well worth it. When we got to our accommodation, the staff was already expecting us, she knew where we came from , and her English was really good. She sat us down for our check-in process. It felt like we paid a million dollars for this kind of customer service. She took us through our check-in process, dinner time, booked our private onsen, told us a bit about the Ryokan, booked breakfast time, and then she took us right up to our room. Our room was a riverside view, which was so amazing. Our food for dinner and breakfast was the best we had compared to other hotels around the world we've tried so far. This was all done in our own private dining room. Our private onsen also had a great view. I can not say enough good things about this place. We will come back here again when possible.
