Surrounded by the natural beauty of the Mount Tanigawa, Hotel Futaba lies on the high plains of the historical Echigo-Yuzawa Onsen hot spring area. It offers comfortable Japanese rooms with private bathing facilities, as well as indoor and outdoor baths with splendid mountain views.

Room: Traditional Japanese Style. It has a seating area with a view to the mountain. The bathroom has a shower and bath, both. The toilet has its own door so it's separated. Additional bedding in the closet can be used. It's very spacious for a couple. Daily local snacks and hotel newsletters in the room - they are also sold in the hotel store in case you like it. Although it's an older hotel, it's very organized and clean - it gives homey feelings. Hot Springs (Public bath): 28 different styles in two floors, indoor and outdoor. Being in an outside hot spring with a view to the mountain when it's snowing is super comfy. 24 hours access to at least a few. Service: There are robes (Yukata) with many different sizes - it can accommodate tall people. Women have even more options, colorful ones. Transportation to/from Yuzawa JR train station is available. Staff is very friendly. Some may not speak English, but we didn't expect that they would as we are in their country and we should be the ones trying to speak their language. We didn't experience any difficulties due to language. Breakfast: Many options with chefs cooking on site, such as making grilled fish and omelet. The coffee cups are tiny, but you can use the ones at the western style breakfast session (it has bread and cold milk on the table), and then you will have a small American size coffee. Location: In the center of the town, walking distance to train station, ski resort, and restaurants. We love it and will visit again!

Takanoya offers free shuttles to the ski sites at Iwahara and Yusawa Park, as well as indoor hot spring baths for both male and female guests. Its guestrooms feature traditional Japanese decor and free Wi-Fi. The property also provides ski equipment rental and storage.

Breakfast was filling and varied traditional Japanese fare. The manager was helpful. He helped me book the luggage courier and showed me how to use the washing machine with a built in dryer. The location was away from eating and easy transport connections so I spent extra money on Taxis. Walking into town with ski gear in a snow storm is not ideal . Iwaparra ski resort is an easy walk away and it had piles of fresh powder snow and easy fun ski runs .

    We get the full experience of a traditional tatami room with Futons for beds. The room was cozy, place was clean and the internet was fantastically fast and reliable. Air conditioning and electric heater was provided as it can get very cold.

    Stayed at this hotel with a friend for a weekend of snowboarding in Feb. Was really pleased to see the comfortable rooms, the warm onsen, and the tasty breakfast. The hotel owners are on site and very helpful with great english. You can also buy lift passes and rent gear from them (pay cash then they bring you the gear). Bed and rooms were warm.

    Onsen bath, a vast japanese style room with tatami matt and futon, and nice breakfast. The onsen bath opens from 14:00 to 9:30 the next day. Basically the whole night.
