Watarase Onsen Hotel Yamayuri

Amazing onsen, comfortable room, spectacular breakfast, east bus access

Nothing

Room is clean and big. Amenities are complete. They have a beautiful compound along thr river. We even see a deer! The hotel also provided a free shuttle to and fro Honggu taisha for sightseeing. We have a lovely dinner in the hotel.

Although it is a onsen hotel, but the outdoor onsen was a bit disappointing. There is no good view.

The staff were really nice and helpful. The private and public onsens were amazing. The dinner was traditional Japanese and very tasty

The hotel looks a little dated but don’t let that put you off. The onsen is terrific and the staff offer traditional excellent service - nothing is too much trouble.

There are two Watarase Onsen hotels at this location : Sasayuri and Yamayuri. The Yamayuri is the one I have stayed for 2 nights. It is easier to access the Yamayuri from the main road. Secondly, most of the Onsen pools - public outdoor and private baths - are located at the Yamayuri. Speaking of the Onsen pools, the public outdoor is huge. You can order foods after you finished the bath because the entrance is a souvenir shop and a restaurant. The private baths are my most favorites. There are four private baths, and you can use the key attached to your room key to access it. The private baths are big. Each can accommodate 5-10 people easily. The meals - breakfast and dinner - are very good. The staff are excellent. The room has safe, and toilet but not bathroom. There is coin laundry machine on site also. From this hotel, you can walk to the free public onsen on Oto river.

None.

Marvellous food at dinner with fish and meat, excellent breakfast. Waiters and waitress: accurate, friendly, professional, a very high level rare to find. Super well organised hotel, magnificent service of the reception. We were very happy with the large private onsen outside, it is very relaxing with no limit on the duration, with plants and no mosquitos. Everything super easy. Hotel and dinner/breakfast not crowded.

Nothing

the food is fantastic!
