Spa Hotels in Yuzawa

"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."

"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."

"The service was excellent. The shuttle bus picked us up and dropped us off at Yuzawa Station East Exit, and it only took 5 minutes to get to the hotel. The outdoor onsen (hot spring) was amazing, with continuous snow-capped mountains right outside. The hotel also offers a partnership with a ski rental shop and provides transportation to various ski resorts. Dinner was served in our room and cost 7,700 JPY per person."

"Staff service is very good, very professional. Ski rentals are available at the hotel, which is cheaper than ski resorts and other ski resorts. Ski tickets at the hotel are also available at discounts. There is also a special car transfer, when you see everyone waiting for the bus in a long queue, your special car is already waiting for you at the door, when it snows, feel warm. It is only a 5-minute walk to Yuehou Tangyu Station and 7-11."

"The hotel is very clean, the boss is very warm, I will want to stay again next time, the transportation is convenient and there is parking space to drive by myself, don’t worry about no parking space, and the price is very high "
