Nakanoyu Onsen Ryokan Reviews

It’s our second time staying here. The staff, service, meals are excellent. The location is good for those going to Kamikochi as they provide free shuttle there. Recommended to stay during autumn so that you can enjoy the autumn foliage from the Ryokan

Really great for solo travellors from tokyo. U can shuttle bus from Matsumoto which is a train away from shinjuku station at 2.45pm (easy reservation over email). There is shuttle bus as well to kamikochi at 8am and 9am (reserve at hotel). The 8am bus will be sufficient time to explore the major sceneries at kamikochi if you walk fast and the hotel will bring your luggage to the shuttle bus if you reserve a seat for the 12.20pm bus from kamikochi bus terminal.

The location is a a bit far from Kamikochi national park, but the view from the above is quite stunning. Love the outdoor onsen hot spring bath. The hotel is surrounded by the nature and very private. The food and the service are superb. There is a free shuttle van to Matsumoto station.

Hotel services, staff was excellent. Location is a little out of the way, we went to the K-26 bus top at Kamikochi after a trip up and they had shuttle buses there to pick us up for a 5 minute drive up to the hotel, so the location is not exactly accessible Greeted warmly by the staff, introduced us to the meal location and Onsen. Room was a small, but about what was stated by their website. Meal was pleasant as well, not everything suited my taste, but i can tell it was cooked with a lot of effort. Onsen was of decent size, and the water was a lot better than other places i have been, i even quite like the shampoo they used. Went down to Matsumoto on their provided shuttle service, which is an excellent service. Overall, this Ryokan is an excellent stay for families and couples, priced decently as well.

This is a hotel that thinks about everything you may need before you have to ask. It's remote from the other hotels in the Kamikochi area and that's a great thing: you get to experience staying high up the serene mountains as well as enjoying the walking trails in the valleys below, where most tourists stay. But the staff make it easy to get to the hotel (and back and forth from the walking and hiking trails) even if you're taking public transport rather than a car to get there. They have a shuttle bus always on call to get you back to the hotel from a public bus stop. There's a really laid back vibe at the hotel, unlike some of the sometimes excessively formal atmospheres of others. Staff planned out our tricky onward journey without us having to ask, which was incredibly helpful. Room views were breath-taking and the rooms themselves were tradional-ish and spacious. The onsens were delightful after a long hike and the food was very, very good and generous portions. A hotel that didn't feel transactional. Would love to stay again.

nice onsen hotel

The Ryokan was remote and far from other things. We had car so that's good for us. If you don't, then you need to prepare how to commute. The dinner and breakfast were super good! the Ryokan has space to relax and enjoy, even though the room may be relatively small. Bus for the national park leave at 8 and 9 and you need to take the public bus back to the bus stop near the Ryokan. Public bus leave every 15 minutes. ends around 4pm so please check schedule ahead. The staff was caring but not so good at English except one lady that speaks fluently. So depend on her shift.

Excellent

The hotel has a pick-up service and arranges a car to go to Kamikochi on the second day. It is a one-stop service and very considerate. Two meals per stay, and you can also add Xinzhou beef for a fee. Every employee is friendly and pleasant. I am very satisfied with this trip and hope to come again next time. The secret soup of Tianfeng Lu is very comfortable.

Why did I book this hotel? I was planning to climb Mount Yake, and it would be closer from behind this hot spring hotel than from Kamikochi. And considering my stamina, I knew I'd be exhausted after the hike, so a hot spring soak would be a nice touch. Turns out I was incredibly tired, and my legs were sore for days afterwards. While this is one of Japan's hidden gems, it's only average by hot spring hotel standards. The ambiance and service were good, though. I also loved the CD playing in the lobby, which I found on Apple Music when I got home. Haha.

The hot spring hotel is connected to the hotel shuttle bus from Nakanoyu Bus Station (5 minutes' drive). The hotel is friendly and willing to answer questions. The room is small but comfortable The hot springs are not big either, 2 are indoor and one is outdoor.

A good traditional Japanese hot spring hotel experience. Although it is a bit far from the Kamikochi hotel area, the hotel has arranged a shuttle bus to take guests to the Nakanoyu bus stop and Kamikochi Terminal at any time. You can call the hotel before arriving at the hotel, and they will pick you up at the Nakanoyu bus stop. I feel that the hotel's service process is very detailed and in place, the staff are dedicated and the communication is smooth. The dinner and breakfast for 2 consecutive days are different dishes. The hot spring has an outdoor hot spring pool. It's not about how luxurious and amazing it is, everything is just quiet and comfortable

It was great to go up to the trailhead of Yakedake right outside the door. The breakfast and dinner were exquisite and delicious. The outdoor hot spring pool was great, and you could breathe the negative oxygen in the mountains while soaking in the hot spring, which felt great.

A hot spring hotel 20 minutes away from Kamikochi actually has a Chinese-speaking waiter. The condition is average and the price/performance ratio is very high. I couldn’t book a hotel in the Kamikochi Scenic Area 4 months in advance. I was also drunk.
