Five-Star Hotels in Yamanouchi

Very nice ryokan, somewhat larger than the others we stayed in, located in a quaint little onsen town. Very pleasant and helpful staff. Private baths with reservations were very enjoyable and meals were served in private dining rooms. We really enjoyed our stay

The room was very spacious which allow dinner to be served in the room. Excellent food and value for money.

We had a wonderfu stay. Hospitality was warm and attentive, breakfast and dinner, excellent

I never experienced such VIP service otherwise in the world. Whole reception teams demonstrated what extraordinary service should be. I arrived late by bus and was welcomed by one receptionist in bus stop. so I did not need to carry my luggage in the snowing road. They even opened the ski rental shop for me after working hour. The next morning, I missed public shuttle bus and they offered to use hotel shuttle bus to drive me over to ski lift in Yakebitaiyama without reservation in advance. I felt that I was living with a lot of friends instead of living in hotel. I was too tired to try the bar at night, and I would like to try it next time. Swimming pool was good with quite warm water. Hot bathing place with best view. Sun rising over snow mountain top. Breakfast was very good with many variations. The dinner I ordered was pork hotpot, and personally I think the starter tasted better and pork meat is okay. I will try something else next time. All in all, the service and room condition are all top.
