Kitayuzawa Onsen Hotels

"Hotel is huge. The ski in and ski out is positive, the onsen is good, but I don’t think it is a natural hot spring as they claimed to be in north building. The room is just average at best, the toilet room smells bad, that shows the staff doesn’t clean well. The hotel has a few restaurants, but their food all very mediocre. The breakfast buffet is very crowded, don’t understand why they can’t not open the other restaurant place for breakfast too. The on-site ski rental place is twice expensive as the outside rental store just about 5 minutes away. And the staff there is so bad, the ones in the premium rental store are just sitting there staring at you as if they are the customers. Overall, this is not a hotel with good service. But they have the monopoly in the resort. They know people don’t have choice, but keep coming. "

"The area was beautiful and peaceful and very calming. The onsen felt realy nice and rejuvenating after our snowboarding crash course. They also had dryers in the hotels for snowboards and boots and where more than happy to turn it on for us."

"spacious room. Convenient snow gear locker. Nice onsen"

"They have given worst room possible for check in facing car park, asked for change and they asked for room cleaning fee. Totally didn't understand concept "

"Clean and spacious room. Nice onsen."

"What stood out for me was the onsen and the ryokan room we booked. Loved the touch of traditional and modern."

"Great views!"

"Highlight was definitely the onsen. This is the best onsen I have ever used in any area of Japan. It's huge, there are so many different options for baths, and the women's open air bath was so beautiful and picturesque in the middle of winter, right next to a snow covered mountain. It was spotless clean and they provide so many amenities. We stayed in a Japanese style room and it was lovely. The different wings weren't actually as spread out as it seemed so nothing was too far away. Buffet dinner and breakfast were great, lots of variety and lots of vegetarian options which I was worried about! Hands down the best spot for Jigokudani and the boardwalk and park trails (most of the trails were closed for winter though). An easy short stroll to the valley and in the other direction cute souvenir shops. Definitely recommend :)"
