Places to Stay in Minami Uonuma

We picked the Japanese-style room and it was beautiful! We loved the room and its helpful features, like lots of sliding door barriers to keep the room warm. The place was also close to a quiet and nice ski resort, the shuttles were very accessible and helpful. The staff were so friendly.

The hotel was very nice. Dinner and Breakfast were both very good and the staff was very friendly and helpful. I am brand new to skiing, and they helped me find and get to the ski center, which is designed for people who know skiing. The location is very good for skiers and the center is in a very pretty area.

The villas is rebuilt from an historical house and equipped with modern electrical appliances, which keep the Japan style and also user friendly. Size of the villas is great and good for group or family accommodations.

Daily home-made meals (breakfast/dinner) are wonderful and change daily. The place is operated by a lovely family. They are helpful, friendly, and responsive. The location is 2 minutes from the ski lift entrance. It's not as well-connected to the town as other entrances, but if you opt for the breakfast/dinner package, and you just come for the ski resort, it's really not an issue. (We just ski, eat, sleep, and repeat) The dry room for equipment and jackets is very convenient. The big common bath is a big plus for us as well.

- Ski-in-ski-out (1 min walk to Ishiuchi Maruyama (west) lift) - Staff are friendly and helpful, providing on-site shuttle arrangements and after-stay services. - Free and convenient parking - Free laundry (only one washer with no dryer, but it is often available) - The property’s condition matches the photos and is generally clean. - The honor-system convenient shop has all basic items, including cold drinks in the fridge. - Not many choices for equipment rental nearby but the shop across the street is really good - The onsen (5 min by car) is really good and tenants enjoy 200 yen discount.

Good atmosphere Good onsen Good location Clean room

The place is very cozy and clean, the food is very delicious and there is a lot of variety of dishes in each emeal. The cost is also very affordable. The staff are very accommodating and nice. This place is highly recommended for those who wanted to relax and enjoy the winter.They have a shuttle bus coming from the train station. And have onsite free parking. Will definitely come again.

We chose Futago Cabin for the proximity to some ski resorts we wanted to visit in this New Year Holiday and we are SO happy we chose this wonderful place. The staff was fantastic, extremely kind and helpful, the price we paid was unbeatable, the view from anywhere was breathtaking and it felt like being in a real cabin in the mountains. The kitchen was equipped with everything one needs for a holiday to prepare meals, guests can use the refrigerator to put food and drinks inside, and there are supermarkets (Harimaya or Nattus) quite close to the hotel which sell ready to eat meals, and that's what we did for the 4 nights 5 days we spent there. Coffee and tea are provided free of charge, one just can make them by using the hot water electric kettle in the dining room. The mattresses in our room were VERY comfortable and even though it is an older building, we didn't hear other guests talking in their rooms from our room, it was always nice and quiet. Fuel for the room heater costs 600 yen per day, one has just to bring the tank down and the friendly owner will fill it up immediately. Our room was always nice and warm. The bathroom is clean and it was located quite close to the room, separated for men and ladies. We were VERY happy to have found Futago Cabin, and we are going back on March :) HIGHLY Recommended for those looking for a cabin in the mountains style of stay!

Amazing staff, great location and facilities.

Staff were very courteous and friendly Room was spacious and all amenities provided In-house Onsen was superb! Even the other guests were very friendly and relaxed The fact that they even hung a placard outside my room with my name on shows their attentiveness Neighborhood is quiet, very few tourists. We discovered a gem of a place in 福一 which serves Unagi by a family just across the bridge

Takano-san is incredibly generous and very caring. I was coming back from a music festival and wasn’t sure if there were taxis operating from Echigo Yuzawa Station so I intended to do a 75-minute walk back, and she told me she was willing to pick me up. Fortunately, there were taxis making runs at 1am so I was able to make it back safely. I immensely appreciate her gesture.

This booking was so much more than we expected! As a family of 6, it was wonderful to have so many amenities available. The views all around are stunning- we stopped at Kiyotsu gorge, sightsaw the Uonuma Skyline, took in the mountain reflections in the rice terraces, and stopped at 3 foot baths in the area. They even allowed our dog to stay too! Highly recommend booking Urasa Cottage. Thank you for the hospitality and wonderful stay!

Location is easy to access, room was clean and spacious considering its size . Miho, the host that runs the place, was outstandingly kind, gracious and helpful

Everything about my stay here was great 👍 It was very comfortable, clean and in good condition. The owner was very nice and helpful and easy to communicate with🙂 It is in a very peaceful area and it is a short walk from the train station which is very useful. I will definitely want to stay here again when I return to this town.

Our host was super friendly and generous. We were very sick and he made us feel comfortable;even made us eggs and toast for breakfast. There is a beautiful onsen. I highly recommend this place

Kutsurogian was an outstanding location with a wonderful building and amazing views from the rooms. Most of all, the staff were excellent. They made our stay both relaxing and fun, and went above and beyond at every opportunity to help us get out and about during the day, along with providing pick up and drop off from the Shinkansen stations. The meals were magnificent. Breakfast and dinner were large meals with top-quality ingredients, and wonderful service. The dining rooms offer western or japanese seating, and there is even an irori (traditional hearth), which was a real treat. The onsen has two spaces, offering indoor and outdoor baths in both, and allow reservation by room in the evening so you can bathe with your partner. I cannot imagine how nice it will be when snowing. We were looking for a quiet weekend away from Tokyo, and chose Minamiuonuma in Niigata prefecture as somewhere new to visit. It was not a busy time of year as snow season had not yet started. The local Hakkeisan brewery district and Koji factory were fun things to visit, and there is plenty more within a day trip. I recommend that you ideally have a hire car to explore, but it is not essential, as the staff helped us out with drop off and pickup during the day. An unforgettable 3 nights at a magical place.

Fantastic across all axes, can’t recommend enough.
