Find Hotels on the River in Yugawara

Traditional high end old school ryokan.

Tsubaki offers the real deal, with time-honored hospitality that is understated. The serene landscape holds the inn, the inn the healing waters and the waters your grateful body.

Beautiful place, nice vibe, has a great aura. I only stayed one night and missed the point of the place. Next time I’ll be certain to stay long enough to immerse myself in the peaceful experience this wonderful place is just begging to provide.

In here they treat you like a royalty, the staff @ the front desk spent so much time prepping us for a ryokan experience and helped us how to wear the kimonos the proper way. He also helped us to find the best sushi place for our kids (Japanese authentic one) set up our taxi ride to and from hotel and they even made the reservation for us. Not to mention they have the best hot baths and spa in-house.

Staff was super nice

This is a traditional Japanese-style hotel room with traditional service. The room was fantastic and was the perfect size for two. We paid extra for a private bath on the balcony facing an amazing mountain with a creek below and waterfalls scattered throughout. Be prepared for traditional Japanese meals served in your room by an adorable, kimono-clad waitstaff. This place does not have many English speaking staff members, so it helps if you know some basic Japanese. However, if you don't know...

Wonderful stay in this beautiful ryokan with private hot spring bath and a breakfast and dinner that would put Michelin starred restaurants to shame. Everyone was so friendly and the owner popped us in her car unexpectedly to see her favorite cherry blossoms at night. The room was extremely comfortable and well equipped. We loved it!

That’s a more authentic review if the food wasn’t actually a highlight for your family: We stayed at Shiunso Ryokan as a family with two young children and overall had a pleasant experience. The ryokan is definitely an older property and shows its age in some areas, but it has a traditional atmosphere that many travelers may appreciate. The staff were welcoming, and the stay gave us an opportunity to experience a classic Japanese ryokan. One of the biggest advantages of this location is its...

This place was amazing from the moment we arrived. Taking your shoes off upon arrival is a must (as it is in most Japanese Places). Our bags were carried up to our room and we were served green tea. We were told about the amenities and even walked down to the onsens available. We had a room with our own hot spring tub on the balcony which I recommend that you book. The views of the lush green trees and mountains made for a picturesque and relaxing backdrop. The dinner and breakfast...

Staffs spoke fluent English and are super communicative. Overall great experience, scenery of the onsen is amazing. Just want to highlight though, when we used the shuttle bus to arrive at the Gora Station, bus driver didn’t really help to carry the luggages down which is fine, just feels a bit weird to see the contrast before and after leaving the hotel. Overall, hospitality 9.5/10.

Amazing Hotel! Simply perfect! The best hotel we stayed in Japan! Highly recommend it ! Staff, our room, amenities and dinning options were perfect!

Amazing dinner in the hotel restaurant. The Wagyu beef was melt in your mouth fantastic. Great wine. The private onsen was perfect and so relaxing at the end of the night. Super comfortable bed and spacious room. Wish I had booked two nights. My only complaint is the coffee in the room is more espresso style and I love a big hearty cup of coffee in the morning. The hotel doesn’t offer coffee in the lobby which is a bummer. We didn’t add breakfast just because we don’t usually do breakfast....
