很干净的日式旅馆,店主细致热情
如果有晚餐就更完美了
Le charme d’un vieux ryokan, la sourire et le professionnalisme qu’on adore ! Notre séjour a été parfait, de l’arrivé jusqu’au départ Le petit déjeuner est incroyable et le petit plus pour la privatisation de l’onsen extérieur fait tout !
האונסן החיצוני מקסים. בין אבנים כמו בטבע
החדר היה רק עם כסאות נמוכים שלא תמיד נוחים
時間関係なく自由に出入りでき、程良いスタッフとの距離感が良かった。
22時前後に女性の露天風呂専用時間があると良かった。
L accueil est le personnel sont formidable très a l ecoute de leurs clients avec le sourire . Je les remercie est je conseillerai a mes amis de venir tester les bienfaits d un ryokan . Je rajoute que le calme y règne parfaitement pour un repos total
Rien
無料駐車場があった事
内風呂、窓やサッシが開けっぱなしで外からの視線が気になった 金額面は普通よりやや高めなのにサービスが良くない
スタッフの方々がとても親切で対応が良かったです。 露天風呂が時間で部屋毎に貸切にして頂けて、家族で広々と温泉を楽しめました。 朝食も美味しくいただきました。
特に無し
The staff was extremely helpful. Came out to help with parking and walked us around the entire hotel explaining things. The private and mens/womens only onsen was wonderful. It is very traditional Japanese from the rooms and breakfast so be prepared. We loved it. The Snow Monkey park is very close but get there by 10 am when the staff whistles for the monkeys and before the crowds get too much.
I loved the location, the style, the staff, the room, the food and the onsens
Un Ryokan (auberge traditionnelle) centrée sur l’expérience incontournable sur Onsen. Tombez vos hardes (probablement odorantes) de touriste et enfilez votre Yukata immaculé (abusivement appelé "kimono") pour entrer dans un autre monde ! C'est ce que je recherchais dans cet établissement et je n'ai pas été déçu ! Il y a 2 Onsen, un intérieur et un autre extérieur, tous-deux accessibles entre 15h et 9h. Oui, l'on peut s'y baigner toute la nuit ! Des créneaux hommes/femmes/mixtes sont organisés rigoureusement et il est possible de privatiser le Onsen extérieur pour une demie-heure. Ce dernier est superbe ! La chambre est traditionnelle avec tatamis et futon. C'est beau et très confortable. Le petit déjeuner traditionnel est excellent ! De nombreux (et délicieux) restaurants sont accessibles à pied sur Yudanaka. L'auberge propose sur réservation anticipée un repas sur place de style Kaseiki. Foncez, car il est exceptionnel ! L’accueil du Ryokan est fort sympathique et efficace. C'est à 5 minutes à pied de la gare de train et bus. Beaucoup de sites de randonnée en montagne accessibles par bus. N'oubliez-pas votre clochette pour éloigner les ours ! Le Onsen des singes, c'est également à un quart d'heure de bus. Se promener au milieu des singes en train de se relaxer, chamailler, épouiller ou baigner est une expérience unique !
Rien. J'aimerais bien y retourner un jour pour un nouveau trip Onsen/Rando/Gastro... "I'll be back!" ;)
The outdoor onsen is amazing with the special part of being able to book privately during the night.
Nothing actually.
Un ryokan authentique et familial, tout était bien parfait le confort des futons le personnel le petit dej. Un Lawson a 5mn Le ++ pouvoir réserver gratuitement 30mn de privatisation du onsen extérieur (ça suffit amplement) je conseille vraiment si de passage dans la région cela permets de couper de l’agitation et revenir à l’authenticité du Japon
Rien
The staff was exceptional. We wanted to visit the monkey park and after visiting they picked us up when we didn’t know how to return. They were interested is sharing their culture with us. They were incredibly helpful in every way. I cannot recommend the property and especially the family highly enough.
Séjour très agréable dans ce ryokan. Accueil chaleureux, chambre très spacieuse, parking disponible, petit-déjeuner japonais délicieux, onsens intérieur et extérieur à disposition (séparé ou mixte ou privatif selon les horaires).
工作人員的親切度
步行至湯田中站的路程稍嫌艱苦,是一段有坡度的路線,這並非飯店本身的問題,但留給需要的人看
I liked that you could book a private time at the outdoor onsen. The staff were very friendly and warmly welcomed foreign visitors, doing their best to communicate in English.
I think the indoor bath and shower area need a bit of refurbishing.
おかみさんが優しかった!
とくになし
Établissement traditionnel, tout le confort nécessaire y était. Le onsen est très agréable, le plus pour nous a été de pouvoir le privatiser 30 minutes, utile quand on est pudique :).
Underbar Ryoka med supermysigt Onsenbad både inne och ute. Vi kunde boka privat tid på kvällen för bara mig och min man. Personalen fantastiskt vänlig.
Lite svårt för personer i vår ålder (65+) allt sitta typ på golvet. Stolarna på rummet saknade ben. Frukosten var intressant men lite av en utmaning.
Excellent traditional Ryokan, Japanese breakfast oustanding, private mixed onsen time slot booking possible and inclusive in price, unfortunately time slot only 30 minutes but it s an outstanding outside and spacious onsen pool, they did their best to explain everything regarding room and stay despite some language difficulties
Wonderful stay. The service, location and ryokan were perfect. We had the most delicious dinner at the ryokan and enjoyed the beautiful private onsen.
There was nothing to not like
La atencion al detalle y la amabilidad, el personal habla inglés
No es tan sencillo llegar desde la estacion de tren
La chambre était très confortable et jolie. Nous avions accès à un onsen collectif et nous avons même pu privatiser un créneau dans le onsen extérieur. C'était une superbe expérience.
The property was beautifully decorated and well maintained. The onsen was gorgeous, warm and inviting. Room was comfortable and clean
Nothing. Property was lovely
The family who runs the ryokan is super friendly, nice and help us with every question. The Onsen experience was perfect. We had half an hour privat time and it was absolutely peaceful and more than enough in the hot water.
Everything was perfect.
Die Mitarbeiter waren wirklich sehr freundlich, höflich und zuvorkommend. Sehr hilfsbereit. Das Onsen, was draußen ist, ist sehr schön und angenehm. Man konnte es sich pro Zimmer für eine halbe Stunde reservieren.
Very comfortable room, wonderful hospitality, and lovely outdoor onsen with private slot you can reserve. The indoor baths were nice too. We did the kaiseki dinner and breakfast and both were delicious, definitely worth it for us.
Beautifully decorated ryokan and fabulous outdoor onsen, one of the best I've used in Japan. The staff were very warm and welcoming and assisted with my luggage up and down the stairs and drove me to the train station on checkout as its a difficult steep longish walk with a heavy suitcase. Prob the best place to stay in The area if you can't book into Shibu onsen 👌
Clean. Friendly, nice outdoor onsen All good
We enjoy Yadanaka Tawaraya Ryokan for the hospitality of the staff, the cleanliness of the rooms and entire property, as well as the onsen experience of both the indoor and outdoors. The location from the train station is within walking distance by using the pathway and parking is very good if you have a car. We visit every year when skiing Shiga Kogen resorts. Restaurants are very convenient for walking too.
There is nothing to dislike.
Clean and pleasant decor. Outdoor onsen is nice.
Overnight stay and optional dinner were expensive, particularly for the off-season in February. Indoor onsen was very small.
Loved this place, really authentic and friendly experience. Such a beautiful location and town thoroughly enjoyed it
Les onsens sont parfait, celui extérieur est magique en hiver Le personnel est absolument adorable Le logement typique et sublime Le petit déjeuner absolument excellent J’aurais voulu rester plus longtemps
Rien C’était parfait
El osnen sin duda lo mejor
Exactamente algo que no me gustará no hay, aunque si me hubiera gustado que la habitación también tendría una dicha, se que es para eso están los osnen pero que la habitación misma tenga esa opción me habría gustado
The private Onsen in the snow wa the highlight of my trip.
Location is near the station. Staff are very friendly and tries their best to communicate in English. Food taste good too!
Need to walk down the slope in order to reach the front door.
Staff, private onsen and private room great Japan feeling
Personnel was quite friendly. Nice the bookable private onsen for two. The village under the snow was quite nice
Unexplicably they were not offering transportation from the hotel to the train station of Yudanaka, and info were overall quite scarce about it.
Fantastic traditional Japanese accommodation. A wonderful experience in traditional rooms, traditional tee (complimentary) a beautiful outdoor onsen, delicious traditional breakfast, perfect service, parking directly in front of the property, and restaurants nearby (an extremely good sushi restaurant right next door).
nothing
The breakfasts were wonderful! And the kaiseki dinner, which you have to reserve at least 5 days ahead of time and will cost extra, was absolutely amazing. All the meals they provide focus on local specialties: in this area, that's apples, mushrooms, and Shinshu wagyu. The staff is super nice and does speak English. Be aware that Tawaraya is located down the hill from the bus station, not in the uphill area of town that most onsen and restaurants are located, and Google Maps will not guide you there correctly -- it's only about a 10 minute walk but check the map on the Booking.com site to find the little path that turns behind buildings near the train station to go down the side of the retaining wall. The property is beautiful inside! The rooms are large, Japanese style, and futons are comfortable. The outdoor hot springs pool is open to guests generally for most hours and then reserved for private use in the evening for half-hour increments, which is really lovely! The indoor hot springs with the traditional showers are separated for male and female guests, and don't take sign ups. There are mostly snack bars near the ryokan, but it's a short walk up the hill to the main streets of town where there are quite a number of restaurants. There is a visitor's center by the bus station that will help guide you to what you want to do, including catching buses to see the monkeys in the hot springs, the ski runs, or other interests, and they also sell local souvenirs. You can follow a trail around town to see places associated with the poet Issa, or visit other landmarks such as the Kannon statue of world peace, or drop in at the free outdoor foot baths.
服務員非常親切
Amazing ryokan with wonderful friendly staff. I wish we were able to stay longer as it was just 1 night for us to visit the snow monkey park. Yudanaka is a great town. Friendly locals and good food. The ryokan facilities were excellent as is their morning breakfast. The outdoor onsen is great too.
Not much to complain about - it was a very nice stay
Staff very friendly, rules clear, rooms large, communal showers comfortable, own toilet in room
Uphill to go back to the train station (tho short walk, less than 10min). But they can call a cab for you
行李寄存服务很好,办理入住的时候已经搬到房间里了。 服务员也非常热情,旅馆还有一个露天私汤浴池,这是加分项,下雪的时候非常美
没有
まずスタッフの対応が素晴らしかった。チェックイン対応時間外のチェックインだったのにも関わらず、きちんとした対応をとっていただき何ら困ることはなかった。次にお風呂は内風呂は思わず声が出てしまうほどの気持ちよさで、露天風呂はそれ以上の気持ちよさであった。他の人もコメントしていたように朝食も素晴らしいものであった。施設は多少の古さはあるがきちんと手入れをされており問題はない。温泉街に位置するが散策の際廃業している宿泊施設もある中で力のあるところだけが生き残っていると感じたが、その中の1つが当旅館であると感じた。
露天風呂が1つしかなく、好きな時間に入れる可能性が低いということと内風呂との距離があり1度着替えてから移動する点 内風呂のシャワーハンガーがあれば良かったと感じた。
Room is spacious. Onsen great
None
Room was lovely, facilities were lovely. The chance to use the outdoor onsen privately for half an hour was a lovely addition. The indoor onsens were lovely too. Staff were lovely, friendly and caring and seemed genuinely interested in you as people. We had a fantastic experience where we had trouble getting up to the snow monkey park and the staff put in a lot of extra effort to help make sure we got there. We were really touched and it was a highlight of our trip. The dinner was fantastic, and was presented beautifully as was breakfast. A showcase of Japanese cuisine served with love and care for the ingredients! Easy to get to from Yudanaka station to here with a short walk, although this does involve a steep hill which you need to consider if carrying bags yourself.
I went there for onsens and nature
Quite large and a bit tired looking
The room, the staff, the onsen, the breakfast, the cleanliness. Most of all the staff were really helpful, kind and always answered our questions for us!! There hospitality was wonderful!
Nothing, everything was wonderful
A traditional Japanese Ryokan experience, but not intimidating if it's your first time. The staff are very kind and always happy to answer questions to make everything as pleasant as possible.
Google maps doesn't give the best directions to the property. It's easy enough to find, just look at the map instead of just following the route the GPS gives you.
The Onsen and breakfast were excellent. The private Onsen time slot was an unexpected treat.
We liked everything!
Het Kaseiki dinner was fantastisch en ook de buiten onsen heel fijn. Terug naar het station is steil bergopwaarts, niet te doen met bagage, we zijn gebracht, heel lief.
Er was geen aanwezigheid bij aankomst maar je kon wel je bagage achterlaten tot check in tijd In het dorp zelf is niets te doen, was vrij uitgestorven. Shibu Onsen wat vlakbij ligt (taxi of bus) is erg mooi.
This is a special Japanese ryokan experience. The room is traditional and comfortable. It has a home feeling. The staff is very polite and friendly.
服務親切,早餐好吃
Lovely staff, peaceful, clean, exceptional food, access to hot springs on site. The staff were so accommodating, happy to explain Japanese culture and traditions. Every item of food was explained. The keiseki meal was to die for!
Nothing, it was all great
The Onsen was fantastic and the staff are very welcoming.
The Onsen was really nice, the breakfast too. Nothing fancy, but still cozy. Good base to see the monkey park but you still need to take the bus to reach the park
We reserved a room for 2 her eon booking but then they said it was for a person only and we had to pay extra, but maybe is our fault or the description wasn't clear. If you arrive by train or bus and there is snow you have to walk some steep road (nothing unaffordable but better to know cause there is ice and you need proper shoes)
Mycket vänlig personal, mysig onsen utomhus som kunde bokas privat. Rent och välstädat.
Hotspring
Eten is heel anders maar ik ben het niet gewend
La sérénité, un lieu de détente parfait, ce Ryokan est d’une propreté irréprochable… ma famille et moi même recommandons cet établissement formidable et bien placé des stations de ski.
Rien à signaler , le personnel était à nos petits soins
They offered private time slot for guests to enjoy the outdoor onsen!!! The place is amazingly quiet and peaceful!
You may not trust the location offered by the google map. It told you to walk a longer way to find the hotel. You need to walk along a slope to reach the hotel, be careful of the icy pathway if you are visiting in the winter!
従業員の対応が親切でした。また利用したいです。
La nourriture excellente La proximité de la gare Le onsen fabuleux L’accueil exceptionnel
Très froid dans les parties communes (c’était l’hiver) Froid dans la salle du dîner mais le Japon n’est pas réputé pour son isolation des maisons… Seul bémol au niveau de l’accueil : Retrait des futons et linge le dernier matin pendant le petit déjeuner, on s’est senti un peu mis dehors…
湯田中駅に近く、宿泊者駐車場がある。比較的静かなところ。 無料WiFiがある。 素泊まりと夕食・朝食を組み合わせられるところ。 良心的な価格設定。
Room was perfect. Bed was perfect. Everything from the tatami to the complimentary yukata was comforting and culturally enriching. Very spacious rooms. The inside bath was wonderfully hot. Fantastic price for what's offered at this great location. Staff gave great tips on bussing to the snow monkey park.
Outside bath was a little cold. Coldest day of the year to be fair, but still. I was surprised how uneven the water temperature was during the private reservation. Despite its charm, this ryokan has few amenities to keep guests occupied. Besides the hot spring, there is little to do here. Something as small as shogi boards would be welcome.
El lugar es precioso y está bien cuidado. Lo que más nos gustó fue poder disfrutar del Onsen exterior en pareja, toda una experiencia! El personal es muy amable, los futones cómodos. Todo estuvo genial.
No hay nada que no nos gustase. Por decir algo, la zona del aseo de la habitación estaba más fría.
Lovely staff and beautiful outdoor onsen which can be privately booked so you can enjoy with your partner.
Private onsen and clean room
Limited time at private onsen
The outside hot spring (onsen) which can be booked privately is the main reason we booked the hotel, and unfortunately the only reason we remained at the property longer than 12 hours.
Good luck finding the property through google maps, the pin is incorrect so we had to go downhill a snowy hill with our small trolleys and bags to find it. The space in this property is ABSOLUTELY FREEZING considering we went in December. Very disappointing how there isn't proper heating considering the price. They are NOT PREPARED!! The electrical heater in our room would beep and show "Error" if we left the heating on during our sleep, or heat the room past 22 degrees celsius. We were miserable! The sound would wake us up. In the mornings, the pipe sounds and banging in other rooms would wake us up, literally we couldn't get any sleep and we were constantly freezing!!! We didn't have access to the showers past 9 am... because apparently they have to clean the onsen area for 6 hours every day... The bedroom area is separate from the bathroom, no shower in the room beware, only a sink and toilet! Forget taking a shower late morning if you need to. And, of course, NO HEATING in the bathroom area. Also the satin/silk bedding has a stain and clearly wasn't clean from the last client, only the sheet covering it was cleaned and fresh. I would not recommend this stay :(
It’s a nice place, very traditional feeling but also they make it easy for foreigners. The staff is absolutely awesome and the food is ridiculously good. Book the optional dinner in advance if you can.
Some of the other guests were terribly loud and annoying, especially during breakfast.
A super cute place with top-notch staff. They take great care of you, even when it comes to taking you to the local hospital ;-) Thank you to them.
