    Minor quibble - the futon was a bit thin and the pillow really hard and uncomfortable - usually I enjoy sleeping on a futon

    Quiet, relaxing stay. We really enjoyed the onsens including the private outdoor ones that couples could use. Food was wonderful, some of the best we’ve had on our trip, with friendly service

    It was just as advertised. The town is a bit remote, but expected. Google maps had an incorrect picture of the ryokan and made it slightly confusing when we checked in.

    An excellent place to stay. Food was excellent and facilities were great. The private onsens was the main reason we decided to stay here. They had a small, medium and large private onsens on top of the public baths that were available. Very easy to access and the perfect getaway for myself and the wifey!

    For non japanese hôtel us not easy to navigate, would be nice to make an excursion during check in.

    City is located in mountains, there is also nice waterfall that is nice to visit. In ryokan there are 3 private bath+public separeted ones. The dinner and breakfast was awesome. Must to try!

    Amazing service and amazing meals!! For such a good price I did not expect to get so much food for dinner and experience such a nice, clean well-kept ryokan. There are 3 private onsens which are very easy to reserve. Very spacious onsens and was great for my partner and I who have tattoos. The host was also very friendly and made a lot of effort to converse with us and my limited Japanese. I really enjoyed my stay here and would love to go back!

    Very welcoming traditional Japanese accommodation, with really lovely staff.

    The onsens/hot baths are not super comfortable as they are facing the wild and there are bears on the area, it would be nice to have some kind of a fence between the onsen and the forest to make it feel more comfortable and not soo scary at night. The water looked a bit dirty but I'm unsure if it is because of it being natural.

    I loved staying at Yunohirakan! The staff was so lovely and kind, I felt very welcomed. The room was very comfortable with a nice big window. The traditional meals served were very good. I don't eat meat and they got me a good alternative. We booked Yunohirakan because it was located near the bus terminal for Kamikochi. If you want to visit Kamikochi I would recomend staying here as it makes the commuting time easy as it is a 30 minutes bus ride to Kamikochi.

    Amenities for onsen were very basic. I have been to other onsens where they provide high quality skin care products which was not found in the resort. I think this is very important for the ladies.

    I would highly recommend to take their breakfast and dinner set. They provide high quality Japanese ingredients, and very generous portions! The lady boss carefully explained each dish in English and Japanese, and also the method to consume the food. They have 3 private onsens availble, with different sizes. Very suitable for all types of travelling parties, family, couples, solo traveller etc.

    The facility is relatively old (but very well-maintained). We still enjoy our stay a lot.

    I would definitely recommend this place to anyone who enjoy authentic Japanese style meals and hot spring. The family run this hotel with a lot of thoughtful care and hospitality. The traditional Japanese meals were authentic and served with fresh Hilda beef and local vegetables. As a hot spring lover, the hot spring were beyond expectation. There are private room and shared room for hot spring, and they all have great view of quiet forest. (It was snowy the day I came, and the experience of bathing hot spring in a snowy forest was superb.) The owners are very friendly and kind!

    Family run ryokan - remote, small and old but the family running this place is friendly and attentive. Breakfast and dinner were great. The baths were nice and relaxing after a long day at Kamikochi. 5 mins walk to the bus stop to get up to Kamikochi.

    The sleep was uncomfortable and very cramped for five people- would recommend breaking into two rooms for a larger party.

    The room is pretty bare and for US travelers the futons were thin and uncomfortable. However, the location, the food and the hot springs were amazing!
