Yukinohana is a really nice Ryokan. It has some yukata that you can wear around the hotel, and also has 3 nice private onsen that you don't need to pay extra for or book in advance, so if you have tattoos, you can still bathe! It also has really clean, comfy rooms, and some free ice cream in the afternoons, plus free half-sized ramen in the evenings! It also has a delicious traditional Japanese breakfast. My friend and I spent our entire stay in the hotel, other than briefly going out for dinner.

A cosy comfortable hotel in a ski town (though I was not there for winter sports). Easy access, since it was a short walk down the main road from JR Shinkansen Echigo-Yuzawa Station. While a modern hotel, and Japanese in style, it reminded me of Meiji period architecture where western elements were combined with traditional Japanese style. For example my room had tatami mats and a futon bed, but the futon was on a 15cm foam base and was set against the wall. Also the chairs were lower than standard western chairs, but higher than sitting on a cushion on the tatami mats. Breakfast and dinner were excellent and the onsen with a view over the Shinkansen lines and the mountains beyond was very relaxing.

Loved the private onsens. There are 3 private onsens so it's a short wait. Just look at which light is not on. Very systematic. There is a bench for you to wait as well. The extra large king bed was very comfortable! Most japanese wear the room pjs to the onsen.

The room is too small. There is no drying room available for my soaked snowboarding gears.

The hot spring and the atmosphere of the interior are amazing.

breakfast was not so tasty and the onzen facility, even though the onzen indoor and out door were big but the space for taking bath before onzen were not enough ( only 8 slots ) so ppl have to queue up.

location not far from the Echigo yuzawa station. and afternoon snacks ( mochi ) , room size and yukata selections

The onsen & noodle at 11 pm

The meals, while of high quality throughout, were a little monotonous after four to five days. An added variety of menu would be beneficial.

Extremely pleasant and helpful staff at all levels. The location is very convenient The rooms are spacious and well-appointed. The addition of fine details and subtle extras is warming.

Love the Japanese style design and service, the onsen are amazing.

The bed was a bit too hard and there were only 2 pillows for each bed. It would be ok for single beds, but for a King Size bed that means we both only have 1 pillow each and we asked for extra pillows but they weren't available until our last night of our stay.

The property is just a short walk from Echigo Yuzawa Train Station. The property is awesome with lots of facilities, 3 different Private Onsens, unlimited ramen at night. Rooms are really great.

The room was a little small compare to the other traditional hot spring hotel.

The location is very near the train station. The room was very clean and the personal hot spring was also very clean and nice. The staff was very helpful.

The property was serene and very comfortable. We admire the traditional Japanese style and concept of this property. It had numerous areas to enjoy, such as their lobby which served coffee, tea, and hot chocolate, their restaurants that offered course meals for breakfast and dinner, their private and public onsen, and many more. The room was very spacious and clean. It was very peaceful.

Not enough entertainment, maybe need ping pong table, or pool table, or fusball table.
