Yuzawa

"Checkout staff was incredibly kind and helpful. The onsen was welcoming for foreigners and we were informed tattoos were okay too, which was an unexpected surprise. Amenities (including robe for the onsen) were provided and there were vending machines easily accessible as well. Short walk to Yuzawa Station so it was very convenient. Compared to other properties in the area, it was nice to stay in a hotel with a private bathroom for only a slight price increase from hostel-style accommodations....

"Our stay was reasonably comfortable, except for a few small factors: 1. It’s a shame that they allow smoking in the rooms because we are non-smokers and smoke particles cannot be completely eradicated from the room even with a room humidifier and spray fragrance. So we could not be as comfortable as we normally would be had it been a non-smoking room. My request to the property is to create more non-smoking rooms to be available or completely eradicate smoking rooms, period! Because smokers...

Top Sarugakyo Onsen Hotel Reviews

Yuyado Tokinoniwa

2/10 Terrible

"Do not pay for the kaiseki breakfast and lunch it is really not worth it. The onsens and the staff are great. But avoid paying for the diner and breakfast. When we pay more than 500 usd per night we expect the possibility to choose a vegetarian meal. But they just refused. They offer a list of 28 ingredients that you have to remove all together (including sea food, eggs, milk....and some meat). And even if you order this, they still can serve you lamb or duck... It is not my first high end ryokan but it is th first time i see this kind of process.... The kaiseki is a big part of the price we pay and it is definetely not worth it..."

Kagura White Horse Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Our family of 5 had an enjoyable stay in a large Japanese style room. Great location for the ropeway and gear hire available too so very convenient. Nice to have the communal kitchen and dining areas as we got to meet some other guests. The ping pong table got a lot of use too. They lend toboggans for free, which is heaps of fun for the kids and the owners kindly didn't charge us when we accidentally broke one! (Even though we offered). Traditional onsen is worth a visit and in walking distance, just note the etiquette before you go as it's not focused on tourists. No supermarket nearby so stock up beforehand eg the train station. Highly recommended."

Frequently asked questions

What is the best area to stay in Sarugakyo Onsen?

The best area to stay in Sarugakyo Onsen is along the shores of Lake Akaya, particularly near the main cluster of ryokans and the Sarugakyo Onsen Center.

This area offers direct access to the hot springs for which the town is known. You'll find a selection of traditional inns, many with private onsen baths and views of the lake or surrounding mountains. The Sarugakyo Onsen Center is a central point for public hot springs and local information.

Couples looking for a relaxing retreat will appreciate the tranquil setting and the opportunity to experience a traditional Japanese hot spring stay. Many ryokans in this area offer exquisite multi-course dinners and serene environments, great for unwinding.

For travelers who enjoy outdoor activities, staying closer to the lake also provides easy access to walking paths and scenic viewpoints.

When is the best time to go to Sarugakyo Onsen?

The best time to go to Sarugakyo Onsen is during autumn (late October to early November) for stunning fall foliage or in winter (December to March) for a snowy hot spring experience.

Autumn transforms the surrounding mountains into a spectacle of red, orange, and gold. This period is ideal for travelers who appreciate scenic beauty and enjoy outdoor activities like hiking along Lake Sarugakyo or exploring the nearby Minakami area. The cooler temperatures are great for enjoying the outdoor onsen while surrounded by nature's vibrant display.

Winter offers a distinctly different, yet equally appealing experience, especially for couples seeking a tranquil and romantic getaway. Imagine soaking in a warm outdoor onsen while snowflakes gently fall around you.

You can cancel your hotel reservation on Expedia, though it depends on the cancellation policy of your booking. Most bookings are refundable if canceled within 24-48 hours of the scheduled arrival.
