Reviews of Yukimurasaki 4 stars

We booked a japanese styled room with a private onsen on the balcony. For those who haven't tried a japanese bed, I can say that the pillows are hard, but they gradually take the form of the head so in the end they are very comfortable. It just takes a bit of time to get used to the feeling. I also thought that the bed would be too thin and uncomfortable, but that was not the case! Yes, it is harder than western styled beds, but we woke up very refreshed . The view was breathtaking, especially in the morning hours! The food was a japanese meal course that was carefully prepared with much attention to detail. It's definitely worth experiencing! However, the one thing that made the experience out of this world for us was the treatment you get from the hostess! She is very well-educated and warm-hearted, and she seems to take great pleasure at doing her job. She showed our room and explained everything for us in detail, and she made sure that we enjoyed the experience at its maximum. She also asked us about our next transfer and volunteered to plan the transfer for us. She even said that if we need any help, we can reach up to her even after our stay. This is a massive thank you once again to this amazing person 🙏

Exceptional in every way. Tangerine went above and beyond, she clearly has great pride in her work (as is clear from the fact like every review mentions her!). We had 2 big travel days following our visit, she helped us plan transport and book tickets etc. She also contacted our next hotel and was helpful in ensuring we made it there safely. She suggested places for us to visit in the area, and throughout the rest of our trip. Genuinely phenomenal. On top of that, the Ryokan itself was wonderful. The private open air onsen in our room & larger onsen you could reserve on the roof, were so relaxing - very hot mind you, but they had taps to help cool down. Private dining area was a wonderful experience, and they were very accommodating with my dietary requirements. Literally not a single complaint.

We stayed here for our wedding anniversary, and i'm glad we did! Having the half-board meal options was extremely helpful, as there are no restaurants nearby. The room was large, and it was beautiful to have had a private booking at the rooftop onsen. It is a long bus drive from the train station, however, the scenery is unbelievable.

The pillows were quite uncomfortable but these may be more traditional pillows.

Location, onsen and service

It was very comfortable

The dinner was great, very good selection of products and high quality ingredients. Breakfast was also very good and traditional. The private onsen in the room were nice and very hot, also the ones on the rooftop were very nice with amazing views. We also like the complementary drinks and very friendly and kind staff. Getting to the facility was quite easy but it did require a little bit of planning beforehand, but nothing too major. The rooms are very traditional and the bathroom is more modern than the rest of the room.

The cleanliness of the room could have been better for the price paid and the standard expectations (hair on the floor which was not ours). Even though the room is traditional which we liked it could be more well kept and better preserved (stains on the tatami mat...) for the price that we paid.

Incredible location with views that were simply stunning.

There were some marks/stains on the floor in our room, however, the room still felt very clean.

Everything. This is such an amazing place. The views were incredible and the host and team so kind with me and my husband. Thank you!

Staff was excellent. Food was amazing. Loved the private onsen bath.

Roof top hot spring onsen was the best! The food was delicious, the room spacious and with our own onsen bath! Great stay!

Beautiful landscape surrounding the property, enjoyable views and amazing staff! The private onsen in our room was incredible, and the meals were so amazing. The staff was so friendly and helpful.

The property is a bit more dated than expected. While it does have traditional features to it, some of the pieces inside the hotel are in need of touch ups.

Very scenic bus ride from Takayama, takes about 1.5 hr. The hotel is older but still very comfortable. We had a private onsen with our room but you can also reserve the roof top onsen for 40 minutes for private use. Dinner and breakfast were excellent. Felt like a very authentic Japanese experience. We stayed one night but would recommend two for exploring the gorgeous natural beauty of the area.

AC didn’t work

Tangerine was incredibly helpful, making it very easy for us to plan things during our stay. The food was a great experience and very filling.

The building is dated. The bath areas appear to require some attention, however the rest of the interior of the building is in good condition.

Yukimurasaki is truly a hidden gem. Both the hotel and the rooms are stunning—beautifully designed, clean, and incredibly comfortable. The food is absolutely top-notch, and every meal felt like a special experience. The natural surroundings and landscape are breathtaking, making it a true escape for the soul. The staff were very kind and attentive. I especially want to mention the receptionist, I believe her name is Tangerine—she’s smart, charming, and incredibly knowledgeable about so many things. The baths were a true sanctuary, offering deep relaxation for both body and mind. I would fly all the way from Croatia again just to spend another peaceful weekend at Yukimurasaki. An unforgettable experience.

Everything was perfect.

Nothing to say here, everything was amazing.

An amazing authentic and traditional stay in the northern alps near Takayama. Our host, Tangerine, was nothing short of superb. Without us even asking, helped plan our trip to the Shinotoka ropeway the following day and how to travel on to Kanazawa with train times etc... Tangerine also noticed my birthday was a few days away, so upon leaving gave me some cake and a wondeful thoughtful message on a card. The food was great, with multiple courses and the onsen was so relaxing, just what we needed. The experience was incredible and me and my wife loved it. Huge thank you in particular to Tangerine!

Being picky, some areas of the room could be a little cleaner I.e. dusting etc...

Private onsen

Nothing

The stay was great. The place is beautiful, the food was amazing and the staff was so lovely. Specially the receptionist Tangerine was very knowledgeable and helpful! I was a bit nervous about this reservation because of some of the reviews mentioning bad cleanliness. But the place was spotless except for some moss in the bath areas, but considering it is a natural hot spring that’s perfectly alright. Some stuff is a bit old like some of the paneling but it wasn’t a big deal at all. We had a great time. We stayed for two nights and the menu was different every day while still delivering the typical foods you’d expect. Like we had Hida beef both nights but the preparation was yakiniku first night and Shabu shabu the second for example. The area is very quiet at night even though it is close to the road.

Nothing, it was perfect!

Hotel staff are very nice
