Uotoshi Ryokan

Mi è piaciuta tantissimo l'atmosfera,sembrava di essere tornati indietro a metà 900, cercavo proprio un posto tradizionale per apprezzare la particolarità della vita giapponese. Molto gentile e disponibile il proprietario,si vede che il ryokan è tutta la sua vita.❤️

Credo sia difficile con un uomo solo e di una certa età,credo dovrebbe farsi aiutare per curare un po' di più la sistemazione e la pulizia.

愛犬と泊まらせてもらいましたが、ご主人が温かく迎えてくださりほっこりしました。お部屋はレトロですが清潔でした。チェックアウト時、観光の行き先をふんわりとしか決めていなかったところ、ご丁寧に小布施を勧めていただいたおかげで美味しいモンブランを食べることができました！お気遣いいただきとてもありがたかったです。

お風呂があまり綺麗じゃなかったのと水温がぬるかったのが残念でした。。

The breakfast, the owner’s hospitality, the rustic vibes of the inn, and everything in between

This is a special place with a long history, which is evident right from the entrance hall. It turns out the house belonged to the grandfather of the current owner (who is also quite advanced in age). He received us very kindly and hospitably. What is really nice is that your name is written on the board outside as a welcome. We were very charmed by the room, in typical Japanese style (which was also the reason we booked) and the accompanying Japanese outfit. The room was neat and clean, though the futon (Japanese mattress) was very hard to sleep on (in our opinion). That is inherent to the type of mattress, and I knew that beforehand. Of course, it is part of the whole experience in a ryokan. Furthermore, the building is old and not very clean everywhere, which we certainly forgive the owner for. The hot onsen bath located inside the building (one in the men's area and one for the women) was very refreshing and provided the necessary relaxation after a day of a long drive from Nikko. The bath, in the women's area, is small, about 1 by 2 meters. It is perfectly sufficient for relaxing and warming up wonderfully in the naturally warm sulfur water. The owner gave us tips on where to eat, and we ended up within walking distance for a delicious dinner. The icing on the cake was breakfast at 8 am: a delicious, typical Japanese breakfast with miso soup, hot rice, pickled vegetables, smoked sardines, and more. This overnight stay and meeting was a very lovely moment in our tour of Japan. Since we don't speak Japanese, the owner was kind enough to call the campsite for us, where we were going the following night. That turned out to be well arranged, for which we are once again very grateful!

Look, the building is old, and so is the owner, so it is dusty and a bit hairy here and there. The rooms were clean, and so were the toilets. The sinks and the area around them were less clean. You have to see everything in context, and for us, this was okay.

Mit viel Hingabe geführt.

おーなー?が気さくで良い人でした

最初古い方の建物に行ってしまい、潰れているのではないかと焦りました。

朝ご飯、オカズが多く量も多くおいしかった。

お風呂場と部屋が汚く 玄関先もチラシが積み重ねてあり汚い。

Le gérant est très accueillant, il nous a même amené le lendemain en voiture vers un début de randonnée. Nous avions 2 chambres, de style japonaise, vraiment grande. On a accès à un Onsen privé très agréable. Nous aurions aimé rester plus longtemps

The location

This is the dirtiest place we have ever stayed in ,there comes a time in life when you have to admit that you cannot do what you would like to do this place is unsafe ,unhygienic and so dirty. Take no notice of the previous reviews I was so looking forward to staying here but how wrong I was the onson is terrible and the dining room is filthy.

Our stay at Uotoshi Ryokan was exceptional - very convenient location for visiting Jigokudani Monkey Park and exploring Yudanaka. Could not say better things about our host! As many other reviewers have mentioned, he offered to drive us to the entrance to the snow monkey park rather than using the bus system, telling us tidbits about the town - history and sights to see along the short route & even allowed us to leave our luggage to pick up, even though we had checked out. He was extremely kind and informative! Experiencing a stay at a traditional Japanese ryokan was a highlight of our trip! Both meals - dinner and breakfast - featured delicious food. The women’s onsen was small and perfect for our needs, the inn has a small number of guests and we happened to have use of the facility privately; it was stated to be tattoo-friendly. Uotoshi Ryokan has so much character, from the moment you walk up to the door and see your name on a sign welcoming you!

Overall the accommodation is cleanly, there is a bit of dust but recognize how long established it is and the small staff that runs it does a fantastic job. Everything that is needed to be used is tidy & nothing is “dirty” per se! Everybody has different good palettes - personally, I loved the meals, another member of my party and other guests at dinner time seemed to not be expecting the seafood provided.

設備の古さ

無し

ゴキブリの数が半端ない

Le petit déjeuner était bon

Je regrette de ne pas avoir lu les commentaires avant de réserver cet hébergement car comme quelqu'un l'avait déjà signalé ce ryokan est délabré et sale, les tâches sur les draps et leur odeur signalent qu'ils ne sont probablement pas changés pour chaque client, les moquettes de l'hôtel sont anciennes et sales, les murs en bois du onsen (femme) sont noir de moisissure et les douchettes ne fonctionnent plus, a peine un filet d'eau pour se laver. Ce lieu devait être charmant il y a 30ans mais le manque d'entretien l'a rendu insalubre

Ryokan tradizionale molto bellino, posizione molto comoda e soprattutto host gentilissimo e super disponibile! All'ingresso troverete una piccola sorpresa di benvenuto, molto molto apprezzata!! Purtroppo ci siamo fermati solo una notte, ma ci avrei soggiornato volentieri di più! La ricca nevicata durante la notte poi ha contribuito a fare quel tocco di magia in più! Super consigliato!

El menjar

Tot estava molt brut. Vam arribar més d'hora del check-in i ens van fer fora d'una manera gens amable. Quan vam tornar a anar (a l'hora del check-in), ni hi havia ningú a recepció. Ens vam esperar 30 minuts fins que algú va venir.

Traditoneller Ryukan mit eigenem Onsen und fantastischem Abendessen sowie Frühstück (unbedingt dazu buchen!). "Old but gold" ist hier das Motto. Die Unterkunft ist etwas in die Jahre gekommen, wer damit kein Problem hat, wird eine tolle authentische Zeit haben. Außerdem ist sie durch die Nähe zur Yudanaka Station (Dentetsu Line) gut mit Nagano verbunden. Der Gastgeber ist sehr nett, erklärt gern auf Englisch, was es zu beachten gibt, woraus das Essen besteht etc. Auf den Zimmern wartet traditionelles Gebäck und Tee/Kaffee, außerdem nützliches Infomaterial zum Verhalten und Tipps für Ausflüge. Morgens wird frisches heißes Wasser gebracht. Der Besitzer hat uns nach dem Check Out sogar kostenlos zum Affenpark gefahren und unser Gepäck solange aufbewahrt.

Es war etwas verstaubt und unordentlich.

Le propriétaire adorable, et le Onsen. Thé à disposition en arrivant et le matin

L'accueil était excellent. Les repas étaient absolument fabuleux, que ce soit les petits déjeuners et les dîners. Il y a également un onsen au rez-de-chaussée

The authentic homestay-style experience, the delicious meals which consisted of a spread of amazing Japanese dishes (we had dinner and breakfast). The onset was amazing, rustic but invigorating and topped off our day. We were able to leave our luggage at the accommodation while we went to the snow monkey park on the final day. The host was fantastic, a true gentleman, who made us feel right at home.

The only negative I can think of is there is no lift to the second floor for those with disabilities or the elderly who might not be able to carry their luggage up the stairs. The host is a master archer and holds archery lessons twice a week which my wife and I would loved to have done but unfortunately we weren’t there on those dates so if you want to do archery contact him prior to booking your dates to confirm if archery is an option.

Very friendly staff with a wonderful hot spring bath!

Location was good for Monkey Park. We arrived bit late in day and missed the bus so the lovely owner drove us up to the park and gave us advice/map about walking back.

Unfortunately the ladies onsen was shallow and water pressure in shower very poor but quite warm. Bit old like rest of building which you might say was quaint. The owner apologised but I didn’t mind - at least I had it to myself!

Lovely traditional style tatami Japanese rooms with additional seating area and as it was winter we even got a Kotatsu on our coffee table which was lovely! It is across the bridge, not too far walk from Yudanaka station. It is near Yudanaka beer brewery and a couple of restaurants. Check out what's around on google maps. Our names were on the outside of the hotel to welcome us which was cool. I think its an old style Ryokan thing. The male owner greeted us and showed us to our room and explained everything. We got new Yukata and towels every 2 days I think it was. There was enough tea for our whole stay on the coffee table and we were greeted with local sweets to have with tea. The owner puts a new container of hot water outside your door every morning. The ryokan has lots of traditional decorations including dolls, swords, bow and arrow, samurai armour to look at. It has traditional wood onsen which was not busy and we got to ourselves most nights.

There was confusion at checkin about tax. It seemed the owner was saying we had to pay more tax but it had to be in cash. We were confused so got out cash and then he said no it was already included in our booking that we had already paid for so we didn't pay any extra in the end. The heater in our room randomly would turn off so we would wake up cold occasionally. There aren't fridges in your room just a communal one near the stairs. There's no accessible microwave so if you haven't booked breakfast or dinner there you have to ask the owner to use the microwave and he goes not so willingly and heats it up for you in the kitchen, you cant use it yourself. The wifi was terrible and kept kicking us off. There was not much pump soap around to wash your hands. I kept having to go back to the womens bathroom to wash my hands. Due to all the decorations the place is a bit dusty. I mean it would be impossible to dust efficiently with all of them there but there were other signs of the place needed a bit of a spruce up cleanliness wise as well in sink areas, bathrooms, onsen etc. There was barely any water pressure in the womens onsen on any of the taps. In fact 1 out of the 4 taps didnt work. I washed myself with a tiny drizzle every night. There was also only body wash and shampoo in the onsen no conditioner (that was both mens and womens onsens). The men’s onsen was so much better and bigger then the women’s onsen. They should switch it every day so women and men can experience both. There was very little to no heating in the mens onsen area and my husband said it was absolutely freezing on 2 of the 3 nights we were there. He also commented of bad water pressure though it seemed better than the womens onsen. Almost went to Yudanaka station to use the public onsen it was that bad. We were excited to read reviews that we could try samurai armour and shoot bow and arrow there but i don't think they do it anymore.

Friendly' owner

Me encanto la atencion del propietario de este hotel, es muy bonito y tradicional, el cuarto es muy grande y hermoso. Cuando llegamos el propietario coloco un anuncio dandonos la bienvenida, fue hermoso. me encanto

el onsen es muy pequeño, el desayuno es tradicional japones y nosotros somos muy occidentales, por lo cual no lo disfrutamos tanto, pero el cafe estaba delicioso.

Super passage bien que rapide :)

Tout etait parfait

Sehr freundlicher Empfang, gute Empfehlung im Ort und schöne Zimmer. Charmantes Ambiente, tolles Onsen.

Es ist etwas in die Jahre gekommen aber alles in bester Ordnung.

Breakfast,dinner,natural hot springs.

Comfoter and mattres set

A traditional Ryokan with a friendly and knowledgable host who speaks very good English. Clean, tidy, and warm, with little extra touches (red bean cakes and tea on arrival, lots of local information, a traditional onsen bathroom).

スタッフが親切

ない

בית יפני מסורתי ואותנטי, עם חוויה יפנית מלאה והקפדה על כל הפרטים הקטנים. מקבלים יוקאטה לשהייה, החדר נוח ונעים, ולא הרגשנו שחסר משהו. ארוחת הבוקר מצוינת ומפנקת במיוחד, לגמרי שווה להזמין עם ארוחה. מרחק 8 דקות הליכה מהתחנה וקל להגיע משם לפארק הקופים.

הדבר היחיד שפחות התחברתי אליו הוא שהאונסן לא היה חם במיוחד, לטעמי.

Ryokan in stile tradizionale giapponese. Semplice e perfetta. Onsen sempre aperta con tradizionale vasca in legno di cipresso. Se cercate una esperienza tradizionale giapponese questo è il posto per voi! Camere bellissime, pulite, con tatami e futon molto confortevoli, dotate di riscaldamento che funziona bene, kotatsu (tavolo basso riscaldato) con tè verde buonissimo e acqua calda sempre a disposizione. Yukata stupenda e profumata fornita per tutti. Consiglio di provare la colazione giapponese (opzionale), deliziosa. Il proprietario parla inglese ed è incredibilmente gentile e disponibile. Il ryokan dista 10 minuti a piedi dalla stazione di Yudanaka e ancora meno dalla fermata dell’autobus (per snow monkey park o per le piste sciistiche).

L’atmosfera tradizionale, le stanze, le Onsen e l’area mensa, tutto ci ha fatto sentire in un vero Ryokan

I bagni sono in comune. Per noi non è stato un problema, ad ogni modo.

מיטה נוחה ואותנטי

היו מים חמים במקלחת רק בקומה הראשונה, אנחנו קיבלנו חדר בקומה השניה

トイレが共用。エアコンがウィンドウファンで音がうるさく、ティッシュで耳栓をして寝た。

とても良い人柄のオーナーです。 仲良くさせていただきました。 建物はかなり年季が入っていますが、お部屋は清潔でエアコンもついており、また２４時間入浴でき、快適に過ごすことができました。 ぬるめのお湯！最高でした！！

敢えて言うならば、お風呂のお湯が満杯までたまらないこと。。。（故障とのことでした） ただし、９割は常にお湯が入っており、常にかけ流しですので特に不自由や不満はありませんでした。

なし

不潔

The property was well organised and clean. It allowed us to experience the traditional ryokan experience, which we enjoyed. The host was accomodating to changes in time when we needed them. The breakfasts were amazing, so many delicious little dishes each morning, the dinner was also great too.

Our room was a little cold, but under the duvets it was fine.

We loved the breakfast, very different from what we usually have at home.

At this Ryokan guests can experience Japanese hospitality at it's best. The host was very warm and friendly person who went above and beyond to make the stay comfortable and memorable. The dinner and breakfast was amazing, the onsen bath was really cosy. All amenities are outside the room, but the atmosphere is 100% worth it.

It's perfect as it is.

Väga ehe majutuskoht. Mõnus onsen. Bussipeatus lähedal, samuti raudteejaam. Ümber nurga suurepärane väike söögikoht. Magamine mattidel jahedas toas paksu teki all on eraldi kogemus.

The man running the Ryokan is incredibly kind, caring, welcoming, and friendly. I genuinely felt like I was at home. The Ryokan has a lovely homey atmosphere, and the bathhouse was really nice! The breakfast was delicious! He also offered to drive us to the snow monkeys, which was very kind of him and greatly appreciated. I loved my stay and would 100% stay here again!!

Très chaleureux, personnel gentil et courtois. Très bon petit déjeuner !

The man running the place is a jewel, but the place itself is a little... Underwelming, nevertheless everything was good.

Pretty comfortable traditional japanese house

Everything was fine

The food was the best we have had in 17 days.

The actual place was slightly old fashioned but we really don't mind that as it was completely authentic.

The place is super authentic - it feels like stepping someone's home rather than a touristic establishment. If you are looking for such a feeling, then this one is the right place. It is technically a bit messy and full of staff, in general it looks a bit dated, but it all adds to the charm and - since everything works perfectly anyway - it is all positive to me The owner is such a great guy - he was very nice to us, even offering us a ride to the Snow Monkey Park, and in general explaining us a lot about the food or some cultural aspects. He speaks great English by the way The location is good, an easy walk to the train station and the public onsen, as well as a 15-minute walk to Shibu Onsen The food was so delicious - generous portions, good quality, great focus on fish

For us, nothing. The only negative one could be that this place, not being located in Shibu Onsen, does not grant you access to the 9 onsen in that village. Just be aware of it so that you will not be disappointed.

A traditional and authentic place, conveniently located near the station, easy to get to the Monkey Park. The owners are wonderful, extremely helpful, and very knowledgeable about the area, with good English. The stay itself was very comfortable — highly recommended!

This is a family-run traditional old Japanese ryokan (guest house). The room was clean, the tatami beds were very comfartable to sleep on. The onsen was clean but the baths need some renovation. The location is very convenient to visit snow monkey park, which is accessable by both bus or walk. The helpful owner speaks good English. The traditional Japanese breakfast was very tasty.

The common spaces are a bit clattered. The wooden planks in onsen baths were slippery and a bit moldy.

The owner is super friendly and the dinners and breakfasts were very beautifully prepared and really tasty.

The house is pretty old but everything functioned.

A historic and traditional building, an indoor onsen accessible 24 hours a day, and a lovely, kind and interesting host: definitely book here if you are visiting this area of Japan!

absolutely nothing: this place is a gem!

Der Gastgeber war sehr nett und hat uns viele Tipps gegeben. Es stand ein Krug Warm Wasser mit Tee/Kaffe und einer Süssigkeit im Zimmer bei der Amkunft. Am Morgen steht ein neuer Krug warm Wasser vor der Türe um selber Kaffe und Tee zu machen.

Die Wassertemperatur des Onsen war für uns nicht die geeigneteste.

Formula con cena assolutamente da provare. Non è un hotel a 5 stelle, ma è una immersione nel tempo in un autentico Ryokan

Nulla

総合的に良かった

特になし

Personalet, prisen og erfaringen på en tradisjonell ryokan med onsen.

Kindness and helpfulness of the owner that kindly bring us with his car to monkey park, gifted us some sweets and apple from local growers. Position is good, near the station. The atmosphere of the location that is similar to the one of the whole city, where it seems to travel back in the ‘80s

The main problem with this location is the cleaning and generally the messiness. We found a couple of dead cockroaches on the stairs and in the bathroom. Also the onsen is not well cared, the carpets looked very old and not so clean, the bathtub also need some cleaning. Common space also looked messy and with dust everywhere. It’s a pity because with just some more care it could be a very good experience of rural japan

If you are looking for traditional Japanese accommodation in an incredible location this is the one. The owner is so kind and helpful and did everything they could to make our stay as enjoyable as possible.

The local wildlife were present in our stay with some mosquitos in the room but that was our fault leaving the screen window open and leaving lights on in the evening.
