1. There’s pickup and dropoff for Echigo stn  2. No shoes allowed beyond the hotel entrance 3. Front desk have a local Japanese staff that can speak English. Pretend to be nice not. Anything else , he will tell you don’t know. Go find yourself. Besides selling tickets that he will earn money. You’ll get no information from him 4. 1st day check-in, my in room hot spring tub is slimy n dirty stained wil algae. I scrub a lot out and took video. Same Japanese man came and nothing. Till I show him the algae I’ve scrub and the video, he kept quiet. Housekeeping do scrub off within 30mins 5. Breakfast is same everyday 6. Dinner, slight changes but still 99% same. 7. Child meal is hopeless.  Stayed for 5nights, same meals daily.  8. Want to bring a cake to dinner to celebrate my Daughters Birthday, we were forbidden to do so. Nothing besides what they bring to you.  9. Onsen was good 10. Basic ice cream treats.  11. Simple ramen in the evening Hotel is too rigid. It’s really expensive during our visits. The rules at dining and the same meals daily, it’s unbearable. Kids have nothing much to eat For the price, I’ll not stay in this rigid property. Many other Ryokan resort for lesser price and better options. It’s not ski in ski out and yet price are too high.

Hotel room was good and massive,facilities are abundant as well. The onsen is super spacious and it's thru the night. Food selection are quite a few but do try to get to Eki for more selections... Just take note of the last shuttle bus back to hotel. In all the stay was good, just need to take note that this hotel is only allow SKI in / SKI out... But NOT SNOWBOARDING.... That you have to take shuttle bus to other resort location thru its skiing shuttle bus services...

Hotel with hot spring and others facilities like swimming pool and gym room. Room are big enough for 3-4 persons. Location a bit far from town if with car no issue at all. Hotel do provide bus but time limited till 6pm. All staffs could not speak English so communication was an issue if you request something.

Very bad experience, my husband placed his glasses into the ski-googles packing box, then we go out skiing at the morning, when we back after dinner and hot spring at night. we found the packing box is lost in the room. But we surely haven’t brought it out. We asked the staff, the staff help to ask the cleaners, but they just said have seen it. So we lost the glasses mysteriously. And we haven’t found it at last.  My husband love this glasses very much and it lost unexpected in the room.

Very nice place to stay! Quiet during the spring/summer period due to the area being more popular in winter. Very near Echigo Yuzawa Station within 5min walk. Was welcomed into the hotel nicely with complimentary matcha and snack. Upon check in there was even a cute Gachapon game in which you could win one of their special Niigata/Yuzawa stuff! I won a small pack of Niigata rice. Room was clean and spacious with a comfy futon bed. The public baths were so nice and well maintained! The staff here are very friendly and attentive. If you did not reserve their special dinner/breakfast set, you can still do say with 2 days advanced order over the front desk. I also love that they provide free shuttle to the station at check out upon request! Definitely staying here again if ever back in the area 🫶🏼

This is our 3rd week of 4 weeks exploring Japan and so far Yuzawa Grand is the best Ryokan Onsen experience we have had. We could have spent several days there it was sublime. We arrived in the morning and the staff were extremely welcoming, helpful and knowledgeable. We had been told by the tourist centre at the train station that the gondola wasn’t operational for 3 days; however the Yuzawa Receptionist assured us that it was operating and showed us that they were even able to sell us tickets at a discount. She gave us a map and bus timetable, showing us where everything was. They stored our backpacks for us and off we went exploring and had a marvellous time. We soaked our feet in the foot baths while having a treat before catching the bus to the mountains. We came back to our gorgeous room which had a coffee pod machine in it. Was so nice having a coffee in the morning looking out the window. We enjoyed relaxing in the beautiful Onsens before dinner. The buffet at both dinner and breakfast was incredible, everything so beautifully presented and incredibly delicious. Highly recommend this gorgeous hotel. The staff are fantastic and the ambiance very peaceful.

One of the nearest accommodation to Gala Yuzawa Ski Resort and shuttle via a mini bus is available. Shuttle bus goes to Echigo Yuzawa station too. It is walking distance from Gala Yuzawa. Approach any staff at the Ski Resort with the telephone number of the hotel to request for it. Stayed there for a few night for snowboarding. Breakfast selection was fabulous with two local Japanese sake available! The room is big, clean and well furnished. It even come with a great view! Onsen street which is the street lined with restaurant is 10-15mins walk away. I recommend making reservation for dinner if you do not intend to go out for dinner. Great service is one of the key reason why I would return to stay!

The hotel staff were polite and helpful. The room was spacious enough to sleep in. The bathroom had a slight smell, but it was fine because I wouldn't use it if I was going to the public bath. The refrigerator was in an inconvenient location, so I would have preferred to have it under the TV.

It is about 900 meters away from Yuzawa Eki Station and can be reached on foot. You can also contact the hotel for free pick-up and drop-off. The historical Japanese-style hotel is very unique. It happened to be snowing heavily in the early morning and soaking in the open-air hot spring was very special. The breakfast was very rich and I was happy to have such a good meal. Delicious Japanese breakfast!

The hotel is atmosphere with a nice blend of the old and new. It is located not too far from Uonuma no Sato and have a complimentary shuttle service to and fro Hatago Isen opposite Echigo Yuzawa Station. The room is big and there is nice heated table area. The bathroom is nice but as with traditional lodgings such as this, it can be pretty cold especially at the bathroom area in winter. Dinner was served in a bento format at our room. I was a little disappointed that it is a not a proper sit-down meal at the main dining area instead. The bento includes two generously sized onigiri, appetizers, and four main items including a meat patty, grilled fish and braised wagyu. The onsen bath is also quite nice and loved the bath with the snowy landscaped garden. Service is generally good and there are snacks and drinks available at the lounge for guests. In the evening, there is also sake and umeshu available for guests.

High cost performance. This time I accidentally hit this hotel. Thank you very much for Ctrip. Before going to Japan, I wanted to find a place where you can ski and hot springs for 2 nights, but whether it is Zao in Yamagata, Asahi in Otaru, or Echigo Yuzawa, the prices are very high, so I have to give up. I bought a 3-day ticket in Ueno and boarded the Shinkansen on the way to Karuizawa. When I was bored, I brushed Ctrip, and suddenly I got a room at Toei Hotel in Yuzawa-cho, and immediately locked it. Get off at Takasaki and change Multiply by. Worthy of a trip. As written by Kawabata Yasunari's ”Snow Country”: A long tunnel that crosses the border of the country comes to the Snow Country. The south of the tunnel is still clear and sunny. After the train passes through the tunnel, there is continuous heavy snow. Different from northern China, the temperature is not that low, with the lowest temperature at minus four or five degrees and the highest temperature at minus four or five degrees. The sky is covered with powder snow, which is the guarantee of the ski resort. Echigo Yuzawa stood out, you can book the hotel shuttle bus, even if walking, it only takes 10 minutes. There is a primary road under the hotel window. Take the hotel elevator down to B1, which is the ski rental counter and the dressing room. You can hang the room account. You can also take the cable car up the mountain on the top of the primary road, and go up to 900 meters above sea level. There are all the routes of the primary road and the intermediate road. Tired of slipping, the hotel's hot spring has internal soup and external soup, this stay again experienced the open-air hot spring in the snow. Very cozy.

The hotel is equipped with ski rental and selling ski lift tickets around it. The price is cheaper than buying on the spot. Breakfast is good and the owner is friendly. Some rooms require public toilets. The train to the hotel is very alienated. There are no restaurants nearby. If you want to dine out in the city at night, you must relocate to the return train or take a taxi. I hope the hotel can install a washing machine.

The hotel is new, the staff service is good, the rock pan bath is so comfortable (500yen), the hotel price is not expensive, the room is good. Breakfast and dinner food are Japanese-style fixed food, all good food 😋. Overall worth a visit.

It was a convenient and easy to understand place just across the road station and footbath. The cleaning was well done and I was able to spend it comfortably. The food was delicious. Especially the breakfast buffet was good. I think it is a good hotel in Cospa. It was good that the large communal bath was large, but I wish it was a hot spring of a more habitual type because the hot spring was tasteless and odorless.
