My friend and I recently stayed at this newly opened accommodation, and it was a fantastic experience. The host was incredibly friendly and made us feel completely at home throughout our stay. The facilities are excellent, featuring everything you could need, including a traditional onsen—a perfect way to relax after a day of exploring or skiing. The room was spacious, and the futon bed was extremely comfortable. The location is unbeatable! Situated on the historical Takayu Street, it’s surrounded by charming shops, restaurants, and onsens. It’s also super convenient for skiing enthusiasts—just a 7-minute walk to Zao Base Center Jupeer, Uwanadai Slope, and Zao Chuo Ropeway. Plus, the Zao bus terminal is only 3 minutes away on foot. Don’t miss the restaurant “Ringoya” on-site, which serves absolutely delicious food.

Our room was absolutely amazing, we got the suite with onsen on the veranda. The onsen on the top floor had a fantastic view of the surrounding mountains. The dinners were delicious and the souvenir shop had a nice selection of goods. Interior design of the hotel was very interesting, fun to explore. Overall service was impeccable, very friendly and helpful staff.

What a cool place! There were so many opportunities to taste the beer that was brewed locally on-site. From the drinks bar at check-in to the tasting room open all day to the all-you-can-drink plan at dinner, the hotel was really quite generous with their liquid offerings. Even non-drinkers are accommodated with plenty of alcohol-free options. We also liked that they had multiple private baths on site. The main onsen were also quite nice. The food was fantastic and the beef served at dinner was some of the best I've had.

The staff was very kind, as expected from a family owned ryokan. The bath area is small, but you schedule your personal bath time. Food is incredible, a must try when visiting Zao. Location is near the main attractions, like the cable car is reachable by walking. Lots of nearby onsens.

It was such a lovely experience to spend our night at Hohoemino Kuyufu Tsuruya. All staff are friendly with warm smiles, as its name 😊 It is very clean. I am very impressed when I see the lady at the front desk even clean the suitcases’ wheels for us before guiding us to the room. The food and services were excellent. Especially with the food, they are very careful with the preparation, since we have some food restrictions. It is also close to Yamadera. Therefore, I would recommend staying here if you are looking for a place to spend the night near Yamadera.

Amazing staff and just as equally amazing food! Such a fantastic experience. The staff went above and beyond, will definitely be coming back. Plus there is a custard pudding stand not 20ft from the premises, it’s to die for.

Breakfast was delicious and had a wide variety of options. I enjoyed both their Western style breakfast items, like their croissants and pastries, but especially loved their Japanese menu items and mineral eggs. It was very convenient to have breakfast on the property, and the eating area had a lovely view of the garden.

Guests at Hayamakan can enjoy traditional multi-course meals and relax in the indoor/outdoor hot-spring baths.

The property was very luxurious, clean and just very comfortable. The staff were extremely friendly and tried to accommodate with what ever I needed. Even with the language barrier they did everything exceptionally without any issues. The food was amazing also. The dinners especially were one of the major highlights for me. I tried so many new dishes and they all tasted amazing. Being locally sourced also made if that more delicious. The room was also amazing as I had my own private onsen.

It was a luxury ryokan experience at a very affordable price point. The baths were really nice, and there was a complementary option to book one private bath stance. The room was way spacious and comfortable. Breakfast was top notch. Great experience overall, and very nice as a relaxing spot after touring around Japan.
