Search ryokans in Niigata

The staff were very kind and helpful. They picked us up at Echigo Yuzawa station when we arrived and kindly gave us lift back to the station when our trip was over. They also gave us a lift to the Ishiuchi trains station when needed. They answered all our questions and helped us booking taxis. The ryokan is very well mantained and has wonderful views of the surrounding mountains. The breakfast has plenty of good options. The ofuro and the onsen are small but comfortable. All in all a very nice ryokan.

The location of the hotel is excellent: it is within 3-minute walk from the train station. Rooms are spacious, comfortable, very clean, and quiet. We are very pleasantly surprised by its meal services. The hotel has excellent breakfast and dinner: both meals offer a great variety of cuisines (both western and Japanese); the Japanese option is very good. The outdoor onsen is great. The staff are a bonus: very friendly and eager to help.

Traditional and luxurious property, most friendly and welcoming staff, large and comfortable room, awesome private onsen, complimentary rice balls and edamame for dinner

My brother and I were looking to experience a traditional Ryokan whilst we stayed in Japan. We stayed in a modern Ryokan in Kyoto and were quite dissapointed by our experience so we changed our travel plans to stay here for a night in the last week of our three week trip. It was the best decision we could have made! Koshi no yado Takashimaya offer a service of collecting you from the local shinkansen station and then also returning you there upon your depature. Without this service we wouldn't have been able to stay as it was a 30min drive each way and would have required a car to get there. The communication to staff of our arrival times and responses were exceptional. I believe this location had been recently listed on Booking.Com, as the there was little English and the staff commented that had had very few foriengers stay previously. Google translate was super helpful in this instance. This is 100% a hidden gem and well worth the visit! We enjoyed a lovely dinner service of 9 courses in our room, where we got to try puffer fish, with a friendly waitress delivering each course. Then the a staff member made our futons after dinner, for us to sleep on the floor with pebble pillows. The onsen was fantatsic! Amazing to be able to experience this, and there were rooms with private onsens for those who wanted them. We then had a traditional breakfast the next day in the dining room, again amazing food. Only thing to be aware of is that the drinks in the fridge are not complimentary, and will be charged to your room. The value for money for this experince was incredible! It was well worth spending a bit more and venturing out to the country side to enjoy this inn which had lots of character and lovely staff. We were given Japanese socks complimentary upon departure. Plus they had a cute gift shop at the inn as well. If you are thinking about making the trip to stay here - do it! It is only an hour and a half from Tokyo via train. One of the highlights of trip!

The wonderful people working at Koase was our highlight! Tomoko, Koya, Sayaka and Miwako recieved us very well and they were all excited to have us over. They even took us for a tour to say hello to the mayor of Aga 😂 Also a special thank you to Tomoyuki for managing our bookings 🙏

It was a beautiful calm energy

Kutsurogian is a quiet traditional Japanese-style hotel behind the mountains with wonderful indoor and outdoor door onsen. Sitting in front of the room window, you can enjoy the spectacular snow view. The hotel is close to the nearby station，It will take 5mins to muikamarchi station. There are so many snow resorts nearby, it is very comfortable for relaxing in the hotel ‘s onsen, and then have a taste of the local food of the hotel after skiing. It is especially worth mentioning that the staff of the hotel is particularly enthusiastic, offering to provide shuttle services to the nearby station, snow resorts…When we need to go shopping, they also warmly send us to there. When we left, the staff gave my child two bathrobes.

Excellent services, they really make you feel like a VIP to the hotel, they welcome you to your room with welcome cake and drink of your choice and do the checking in the dining room of your room, a big thank you to everyone that served us, all of you did more than a great job, amenities from ferragamo and la mer, good breakfast, close to a number of ski resorts, walking to the hotel form the station takes 5-10 mins only depending on how much you are carrying, they can send a shuttle to pick you up if you call them anyways, the room is huge with private indoor and outdoor onsen.

Comfortable Futon, Warm room, close to slope and great nearby parking. Friendly welcome!

Good size room with an excellent view of the sea. Good general cleanliness. Very good buffet spread. Dining hall has a view of the sea and if you are early to catch a window seat, you could enjoy the sunset while dining.
