Hotels near Nyuto Hot Spring, Shizukuishi

Good sized room, amazing staff, good food and onsen was great. Especially liked that they had an option to pay for daypass access to other onsens in the area + shuttle bus transportation so you can experience them all without needing to stay at all the different ryokans. They also offer to loan you towels, warm winter jackets and rubber boots when visiting the other onsens. This was a godsend for us it gets windy and the snow can be pile up quickly during a storm (it was up to my calves when we were there)

Ski in/out, very nice hot spring with views. Very friendly staff.

It’s difficult to put into words how special this place is. I arrived during a heavy snowfall, which made the entire experience feel almost dreamlike. Sitting in the onsen while watching the snow fall silently around the mountains was one of the most peaceful and memorable moments of my trip to Japan. The atmosphere here feels wonderfully authentic and deeply connected to its surroundings. I was one of the very few international guests during my stay, and although there was a language barrier at times, the staff were incredibly kind and welcoming. They went out of their way to ensure I felt comfortable and looked after, which made the experience feel even more genuine and heartfelt. The food was exceptional — beautifully presented and delicious, with each course feeling like part of a carefully considered experience rather than simply a meal. My room, which had its own private onsen, was both elegant and incredibly peaceful. Being able to sit in the warm water while watching the snow fall gently outside was something I will never forget. This was easily one of the most memorable places I have ever stayed. I would love to return one day in a different season, as I imagine it must be equally magical in spring, summer or autumn — just in a completely different way.

They have arranged free sake and green tea. Very nice!

Very spacious and nice room. Onsen was great. You can book the private onsen for 50 min with no extra charge. Very nice and helpful staff. Food was great. My husband can’t eat fish or seafood and they went out of their way to accommodate that. Close to famous Nyuto Onsen. Bus stop is just out front. Would still recommend your own transportation.
