Atmospheric ryokan run by a friendly couple. They were so kind and considerate. Everything about our stay was perfect, from the morning onsen to the excellent breakfast, before heading off to see the snow monkeys (easily accessible by foot and a short ride from the nearby bus stop). I could not recommend this ryokan higher, it was such a nice start of our trip to Japan.

The location of the hotel is easy to find and the owner's grandparents are very friendly. The dinners and breakfasts served are extremely sophisticated and delicious, and the tableware is as fine as art, which complements the exquisite decor in every corner of the hotel. The onsen is spacious, clean and comfortable, especially the large ones, with beautiful views, which are perfect for the whole family. In addition, in the morning, Grandpa personally drove us to the Snow Monkey Park, his driving skills are very good! We forgot the items in the room's refrigerator, Grandpa also specially with our luggage to help us bring to the station. Many thanks to the family for their hospitality. I have highly recommended this hot spring hotel to my friends, if they come to Yutanaka, they must choose this hotel.

The service was outstanding. We got yukatas, Harris, some sweets and a fresh cup of tea at the beginning. I have some tattoo but I was allowed to come and gabe a private room including our own onsen bath. The room was huge with tatami mats, wonderful cosmetics, a rain shower two big beds, very clean. Lovely music playing. The diner and breakfast was a lot but not too much. We were able to taste so many different things, and we bought a typical onsen puddin l. Furthermore there was a free shuttle back to yudanaka station where the denesetsu line goes. Fantastic place and I miss it

The rooms are quite nice and the onsen is open almost 24/7, so it is easy for guests to relax after a long day of exploring. Most importantly, the hotel staff is beyond helpful and experienced with handling international guests. You can rest at ease as an international guest at this hotel. The staff offered restaurant recommendations, rides to nearby attractions, and even lent me jumper cables and personally helped me when I had car trouble. Although it's not the fanciest hotel in the area, I guarentee it is the hotel with the warmest atmosphere. Tip: The hotel walls are plastered with home-made posters containing recommendations of how to best enjoy the local town and attractions, so be sure to check it out!

Nice onsen, relaxing, well maintained and structured. We arrived early and they allowed us to put the luggage in the room before the check in time, their flexibility is appreciated.

    Warabino team was simply amazing. Everyone is very kind, gentle and proactive. They gave us a ride to and from the train station. That's an important point considering the distance from downtown. We had both meals, breakfast and dinner, with them. All we tasted was fantastic. The possibility to turn the public bath into a private Onsen when there isn't someone using it, it's another differential. The futons was soft and we had a good night sleeping. The heating in our room was the right way too. Surely we'll come back.

    The room is spacious with the amazing mountainous view outside. I especially like that you can place your pc on the windowsill and work there (instead of the low table for those not good with Japanese sitting style). The facility has everything it needs as a Ryokan like a good relaxing lounge after enjoying the onsen with milk and other drinks. Like other ryokans in Takayama, you can visit some other onsens on the street if you have an extended stay.
