Mountain view Hotels in Yuzawa

"NASPA New Otani Perfect family stay with spacious rooms and great snow park for kids! ”We had a wonderful stay at NASPA New Otani. The hotel's location is very convenient, not far from the train station, and the free shuttle bus service is available throughout the day, which made our travels so easy. We stayed in a Japanese Style Room, and it was incredibly spacious at 50 square meters. It was perfect for our family of three (parents and our 3-year-old child). There was plenty of room for our little one to run around and play comfortably without feeling cramped. The private snow park at the hotel is fantastic, especially for young children. Our child had so much fun playing in the snow, and it felt very safe and family-friendly. We are truly impressed with the hospitality and the facilities. We are already planning to come back and stay here again next year! Highly recommended for families.”"

"The hotel's location is excellent. You can see the Yuzawa Grand Hotel nestled on the mountainside right from the west exit of Echigo-Yuzawa Station. It's about a 5-minute walk, though the large, steep slope at the hotel entrance requires careful walking, especially after a snowfall in Echigo-Yuzawa and when pushing luggage, to avoid slipping. We booked a Japanese/Western-style room, and the hotel gave us a room on the 7th floor of the South Wing, directly facing the station. The views were absolutely superb, especially the distant mountains after a snowfall – truly the 'Snow Country' I'd imagined. The room had two beds, and a futon was set up in the Japanese-style area, making it perfect for families with two children on a ski trip. There are two onsen (hot springs) on the hotel's first floor, and the open-air bath is particularly memorable, especially when you catch a heavy snow while soaking outdoors. An unforgettable experience! The hotel exudes the charm of an established onsen hotel, with attentive and meticulous service. Yukata and towels are changed daily. Although the facilities show their age, they are still perfectly functional, especially the in-room mini-bar/sink area, which was convenient for eating bentos in the room after skiing each day. Oh, we didn't book breakfast or dinner; we got all our meals from the convenience store inside the station and nearby restaurants. The hotel's excellent service was also evident in many small details, such as the free rain boots at the entrance and the weather forecasts for various ski resorts. I particularly recommend the ski rental shop right outside the hotel; they have a great attitude, reasonable prices, and the ski gear and helmets are all very new. In summary, it was a very satisfying stay in every aspect. If I come back to Echigo-Yuzawa during the ski season, I will definitely stay here again!"

"1. It is a hotel with a sense of age. When you enter the hotel, you have to change indoor slippers. Your shoes must be put in the shoe cabinet on the left. There is no key. The two service staff at the counter have an excellent attitude. The female staff have better English skills, but the age is quite old. They work hard! 2. There is a shuttle bus from Yuehou Yuze Station to the hotel. At the station's east exit No. 9, after arriving at the station, please go to the ski line diagonally opposite the exit. After entering, go forward to the left direction. There is a service counter, please send the hotel to you. message (There is the word Tangze Electric Hotel), tell the service staff to make an appointment for the shuttle bus (say Reserve shuttle bus), they will fill in the form for you, write a name and the number of people, and then they will help call the hotel to inform, and will tell you what time will arrive, Then wait at the station (there will be a map), and tell you what color the car is coming (the day is green); On the day of check-out, I will make an appointment with the hotel counter and say that I have to take a bus back to the station. The pick-up and drop-off timetable is placed at the counter for passengers to see. When I come back from the snow, I will tell you. The latest shift is 18:10. After that, I will ask the hotel to call a taxi for you. Or take a tram to the nearby Iwahara Ski Resort Front Station to Yuehou Yuze Station! 3. There will also be a shuttle bus from the hotel to the Iwhara ski resort (will sit in the middle of the ski resort). You can talk to the hotel counter the night before skiing. The earliest shift is 08:40, and the latest is 11:40. Come back from the ski resort from 13:00 every hour, and come back to the hotel at 17:00 at the latest. If you take a shuttle bus to Iwhara Ski Resort that day, the driver will ask you what time you want to take the car back in the afternoon. He will count the number of people. If the time is too late, there is a bus in the middle of the stomach to sit down to the mountain. The mountain will not be too far to the hotel! 4. The hotel can rent ski clothing and equipment. The price is cheaper than the ski resort, but it is still recommended to bring the clothes by yourself, because the garbage and snow tickets left by the previous guest were found in the rented clothing pocket on the same day. It is obvious that it should be hung up in time to wash, and the service style, The size selection is limited. It can be selected early. You can rent from head to toe (except for personal protective equipment). The clothing and helmet can be rented the night before. The skis and ski shoes can be rented on the same day (after 8 am, go to the ground floor, but still have to talk to the counter first); There is a discount for selling snow tickets for nearby snow fields at the other counter. People in need can buy them at the counter. It is a snow ticket exchange coupon. When you arrive at the snow field, you can change tickets with the ticket office! 5. The hotel has a dinner lunch box and breakfast buffet. They are all at their own expense. You can see the information in front of the counter. If you don't want to buy it, the hotel will go out and turn right for about 3 minutes. There is a super business Lawson. It is recommended to go to the hotel early to go to the super business to buy things. Because cooked food and rice ball sandwiches are easy to get light; there are two microwave ovens on the first floor of the hotel, a small compartment on the left side of the counter! 6. I lived in a Japanese-style room on the same day. It had a sense of atmosphere. There was a bathroom and a separate toilet. There was also a refrigerator, but no drinking water was provided. The bed had to be laid by yourself. The bedding was placed in the cabinet. There was a hotel instruction book on the table. How to shop! 7. There is a public bathhouse, a large pool (open until 2 am), there is an outdoor small pool to soak (only open until 11 pm), the bathhouse is on the right hand side of the same floor on the counter (with notices), and the bathhouse provides shower gel, shampoo and hair dryer. But towels or bath towels have to be brought from the room by yourself, and things are only placed in a basket, there is no locker, so don't bring valuables to the bathhouse! 8. The hotel floor is strange, the 2nd floor is the 1st floor of the lobby, so if the room number is 201, it is actually on the 1st floor, and the room number 301 is on the 2nd floor of the hotel, and so on! 9. When you check out, you can still store your luggage. Just talk to the counter. They will specify a lobby location for you. Remember to retrieve it that day! 10. Overall, this hotel is suitable for people who want to go to the Iwhara Ski Resort to live, because the ski resort is really close to here, but there are really no shops nearby to eat (but there is a supermarket nearby, and there is a gas station to refuel), the counter staff is very good, Hotel facilities are old, but do not affect the accommodation, there are elevators, there are wifi, there are vending machines on the first floor, there are shuttle buses, do not require the hotel to live more advanced and modern people, you can come to experience the atmosphere of the Japanese-style hotel, and the price will not be too high!"

"We are not allowed to wear our own shoes once we enter the lobby. If we are expected to walk bare feet, maybe the hotel should consider providing guest with indoor slippers. It is very uncomfortable walking to the restaurants barefeet as no matter how clean they keep the floors, there’s bound to be food spills and oily surfaces. Breakfast and Dinner are great, just need more variety for guests staying more than 3 days."

"One of the loveliest ryokans we've ever stayed at in Japan, wish we stayed for longer. Every part of the hotel is so beautiful and serves as a lovely photo backdrop. There is a lounge with coffee/tea in the mornings and alcohol and snacks in the evening. There is also a playroom (suitable for infants to 6years old). Service is top notch, everyone is so helpful and friendly. Extremely easy to communicate with them as the staff can speak English well. They gave us a map and told us where we could go for food or to the ski resorts and gave a lot of local advice. They provide all the amenities you need. They even have rain boots that you can borrow and wear in case your shoes are not waterproof. It snowed heavily while we were there and the staff are super attentive - they asked where we were headed to and suggested for comfort, that we wear the hotel's rain boots as they knew my partner's shoe wasn't waterproof/suitable to walk through the snow. Rooms are very clean, big and comfortable (only that the futons are a little thin). The onsens are rather small, but the outdoor onsen is so beautiful. They provide a shuttle service to the train station (upon request) , although it is a relatively short walk - 5mins - and easy to walk if there is no snow. 7 eleven right next to the train station and New Days inside the train station. We loved every single thing about this charming lovely hotel and we will definitely be back if we are in Echigo Yuzawa."

"The location was very good, and it was quiet on the opposite side of the bustling area, so the only sounds were the river and rain. It was nice. However, the room was not bad, but the walls were thin, so you could hear all the conversations of other guests. Unfortunately, I was with a group of noisy guests late at night and early in the morning, so I had a hard time falling asleep, and even when I did, I was woken up, which was a pain. The room itself was small, but it was clean and enough for a night's sleep. The bathroom was much smaller than it looked in the photos, and it felt cramped for two people. The towels at the foot of the bathroom were damp, so I wish they could be replaced or made of a material that drains water well. It seems that they no longer offer breakfast service, but they had free water, coffee, and tea, which was very helpful. Comfort depends on the guests you stay with, but overall it was a comfortable hotel."

"The tatami is very comfortable and I like it very much. The outdoor hot spring is great. Snowflakes are floating in the sky, and I can enjoy the snow-capped mountains and tree hangings while soaking in the hot spring! The staff are especially friendly and enthusiastic. They helped me check the weather, find the route, and even found my lost hat! Special praise 👍"

"The room was spacious, which was great for staying with kids. There's a small ski resort right behind the hotel, perfect for beginners. If you're heading to Yuzawa Nakazato Ski Resort, it's a bit of a walk. The shuttle bus is quite convenient, running between Yuzawa Station and the hotel, taking about 15 minutes, with a stop at Iwahara Ski Resort. Dining options are limited; the buffet was just okay, but the à la carte options were decent, though reservations are required for both. Lunch options were very sparse. A downside is that there's no free luggage storage. So, if you arrive early or leave late, you'll need to figure out what to do with your bags."

"Booked a room in Building 2 for three nights, and got an upgrade to the club floor. The room wasn't huge, but it had four beds, enough for two adults and two children, and the bathroom had a separate shower and toilet. The cable car is right downstairs, making skiing super convenient. There are tons of restaurants; we tried pizza, BBQ, ramen, and an izakaya, among others. The prices were reasonable, and everything tasted great. We'll definitely be back, highly recommend it!"

"It takes about 10 minutes to walk from Echigo-Yuzawa Station to the hotel, but the hotel is located on a small slope. In winter, if there's heavy snowfall or too much accumulated snow, it can be a bit inconvenient to drag your luggage all the way to the hotel since there's no shuttle service. The hotel was newly renovated last year, so the rooms are very clean. Both breakfast and dinner are buffet style. Dinner includes pan-fried steak, sashimi, and small hot pots, but the selection is pretty much the same every night. Staying for three nights, it did get a bit boring, so there's room for improvement in the dining options! The hotel has a drying room and a ski rental shop with discounts on ski passes. Walking to the nearest gondola station takes about 10 minutes, and carrying all the ski gear was a bit strenuous. The hotel is only a few minutes from the hot spring street, and it's very convenient to walk to a convenience store after a soak. Overall, the hotel has plenty of rooms, and I would choose to stay here again next time."
