Wonderful stay. We booked a private onsen, the food was delicious. Looks like it was newly renovated.
Patricia, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

We had an amazing stay at Masuya. We chose the Japanese-style room with a private onsen, which was amazing. The bed was very comfortable and the room was very spacious, clean, and beautiful. The private onsen is very nice (better than the pictures), the public onsens are also great, most of the time we had the onsens for ourselves. Dinner and breakfast were also delicious, I requested one vegetarian meal and they changed the meal accordingly. The staff was very helpful, they helped us with the train timetable and adjusted breakfast time just so we could catch the train, they also offered a shuttle to the station. I would certainly stay there again
Marielle, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

This was one of my favorite stays in Japan and a great value for all they offer. Our room included a private onsen bath that was beautiful and so relaxing! Our beds were raised mattress western-style, but the room was very traditional Japanese with a tatami mat sitting room and shoji screens. The food was all delicious, more than enough to eat, and served to us in a private dining room. Service was phenomenal!! The location is near the snow monkey park, Shibu Onsen, and Obuse. This was a wonderful place to stay!

Our stay was incredible. The hot springs were rejuvenating, the room spacious and comfortable and the staff pleasant and helpful. We would definitely stay again if the opportunity arose. What an incredible experience.

An excellent Ryokan experience. Wonderful traditional food and easy access to the Snow Monkeys. They serve traditional fixed menu breakfast and dinner at designated times. The onsen is open 24 hours. The staff is amazingly friendly and helpful.
Edwin D, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

We really enjoyed staying at this ryokan. The food and services were outstanding. The onsen was open 24 hours so we enjoyed hot spring at odd hours (due to the jetlag). The Snow Monkey Park is nearby and the hotel offers a free shuttle to the base of the mountain. We would definitely come back.

The service is exceptional. I just can’t say enough how much they go out of their way to make you feel welcome and appreciated. The included meals are excellent for those with an adventurous spirit…truly fantastic. Also, be prepared for several courses at dinner. I left every meal quite content. I will return and highly recommend to others.
Brian, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

This property was as traditional as it gets. Two Onsens to bath in. Each have separate times for men and women. Provide multicourse dinner that was as traditional as you can get. The breakfast was multiple items and also a classic meal. Very good. Room didn’t have a view but it had traditional tea set up along with kimonos to wear and traditional bedding. We were there only one night so it wasn’t a big deal to not have a view. Staff was very kind and tried to be of help. We got a shuttle ride up to the base of the Monkey territory. That was helpful. Specific staff speak better English than others.

女将さんのお心遣いがすごい！
近くの宿でのイベントを観るために宿泊しました。初めての渋温泉、全く調べずに行ってみたら夜の雰囲気がとてもよく、九つの温泉をまわれると。こちらの宿はギリギリ湯田中なので２つの温泉には行かれるとのことでしたが、宿のお風呂二つの入れ替えが夜9時でしたのでそちらで充分満足してしまいました😅 女将さんが直接対応してくださることが多く、細やかな心遣いが感じらました。また、夕飯時に女将さんがご挨拶にまわってらして感激しました。 部屋は一番安いシティービューだったので簡素でしたが十分でした。 ただお風呂場の脱衣所がとても寒かったので 高齢の方には良くないと思いましたね… 節電なのだと思いますが、各所が薄暗いのも危ないと思いました。 それと宿とは関係ないのですが　 とても残念だったのは近くの蕎麦屋さん、女性の店員さんがとてもとても酷い態度でした。外国人も多く大変なのかもしれませんが、あまりに酷い態度の上にお蕎麦もぬるぬるで美味しくなくてがっかり。 宿の女将さんに美味しいお店を聞いておけばよかったと思いました。 しかしそれ以外の商店の方々はとても気さくで親切でした！ 次回は露天風呂付きのお部屋に泊まってみたいです。
