Hotels with WiFi in Kurobe

"It was a very nice hotel. The Western-style room was spacious and clean, and the bath, both the changing room and the washing area, were spacious and clean, making it a very pleasant experience. It was raining, so I got wet before entering the open-air bath, but it wasn't a cold season, so it wasn't a problem. I was looking forward to the free beer, soft drinks, and ice cream after the bath, as it was listed on the website, and I was also happy to find that the evening meal buffet also included free drinks, including alcohol, which made my stay even more enjoyable. It was really nice that there was little waiting time for the elevators, and free drinks were always available on the lobby floor, making everything pleasant to use."

"The room wasn't big, but it had a private bathroom, microwave, and refrigerator. You could also choose a complimentary meal. There was also a large supermarket next door, so it was very convenient to buy groceries and heat them up. Highly recommended!"

"Five-star rating all around! I was a bit worried the 2019 renovation might feel old, but it absolutely doesn't – everything feels very new. They offer a pick-up service from the train station, or it's just a 300m walk. Inside the hotel, there are English-speaking staff, making communication a breeze. The buffet dinner was also good. There aren't many dining options on the hot spring street; besides one BBQ place, it's mostly set menus and ramen, so the hotel buffet is a better choice. For lunch, I recommend the cafe by the entrance; both the cakes and drinks were delicious. Since we visited in winter, we didn't book the scenic train, but we did go to the ski resort, which was perfect for kids. The foot bath next to the train station was super hot and incredibly relaxing. This is a great place to stay for two nights."

"We arrived before check-in time and asked if we could leave our luggage and car, which was readily accommodated. The room had been renovated and was even nicer than it appeared in the photos, so we were able to relax and unwind very much. As for the hot spring facilities, rather than being luxurious, they consisted of a simple indoor bath and open-air bath, but the open-air bath on the 7th floor offered a nice view, with the trolley train running below. We were very satisfied with our stay and would recommend this hotel to our acquaintances."

"This hotel is part of the Oedo Onsen Monogatari group, and its reasonable accommodation prices are definitely reassuring. Its proximity to Unazuki Station makes it incredibly convenient for taking the sightseeing train. The buffet offered a rich variety of dishes, all prepared using local ingredients. I was very satisfied with both dinner and breakfast, especially the yellowtail, which was absolutely delicious. I stayed in a Japanese-style room, which was very comfortable and provided a restful night's sleep. This place is highly recommended for families with children, offering a large ball pit, an inflatable slide area, and an arcade."

"The environment is beautiful; the room overlooks a miniature train passing by, and the lush green mountains are very pleasant. The staff were friendly and welcoming, making me feel right at home. I will definitely choose this place again next time. The only downsides are that the breakfast could be improved, and I wanted to contact the hotel beforehand to discuss dinner reservations, but I didn't know how to find the reservation point. Any improvements would be greatly appreciated. 👍"

"일본의 고즈넉한 료칸을 즐기고자 예약하였으며, 뷰와 방 컨디션 + 넓이까지 완벽했습니다. 역에 직접 데리러 나와주시는 부분도 섬세하여 아주 맘에 들었으며 식사와 욕탕 모두 완벽했습니다. 특히, 금액을 따로 내는 개인탕도 구비되어 있지만 2-3인 정도 그룹으로만 즐길 수 있는 작은 욕탕이 있어서 사람이 붐비지 않을때 중간 중간 들어가기 아주 좋았습니다! 호텔 내부에서 제공되는 다양한 어메니티나 간식거리들도 만족하였으며, 직원 서비스도 매우 높은 수준이라고 생각합니다. 다른 가격대의 다양한 료칸도 다녀와봤지만, 해당 가격대에 구성되어 있는 료칸 중 서비스와 방 컨디션, 욕탕 수준은 매우 높은 편입니다. 꼭 다시 방문할 의향이 있습니다. 즐거웠습니다!"

"To sum it up, I'm extremely satisfied. The hotel offers a shuttle service to the Shinkansen station, which you need to arrange in advance, otherwise, you'll have to transfer to a local train yourself. The hotel is located in a small town and looks quite modern from the outside, not like the century-old building I imagined. The facilities are well-maintained, and it doesn't have that damp smell common in many onsen hotels. Upon check-in, the front desk provides a map of the hotel, showing your room location, the onsen areas (with gender and time schedules), dining spots, and so on. After checking in, someone will lead you to pick out your yukata (which you wear throughout the hotel, making onsen visits convenient). It's best to try on samples here as the sizes run large; if you pick your usual clothing size, it might drag on the floor. Then, you'll be escorted to your room by elevator. Perhaps because it was off-peak season, the hotel spontaneously upgraded us to a larger room with two big balconies. The three of us slept comfortably on a tatami mat area that could easily accommodate six. There's an indoor onsen on the basement level, separated by gender but open all the time. On the first floor and basement, there's also an outdoor onsen with timed gender separation. It's open until 11 PM and from 5 AM. When soaking, you simply place your clothes in a basket; there's a small pool area that seems to have lockers. You can't bring your phone anyway, so I didn't bring anything except my room key, the small and large towels provided in the room, and a waterproof bag. You can also bring your own skincare products if you wish. You can also pay extra for a private onsen for about an hour, but considering that in Japan, people usually soak nude, we didn't dare to try. In the morning, you hand a slip to the front desk to indicate any room amenities you'd like to change (like yukata, towels, etc.) and your dinner time. The breakfast buffet is very generous; I particularly liked the onsen eggs. For dinner, you can choose between two sittings, 6 PM or 7 PM; we opted for the latter. Dinner includes a small glass of alcohol, and you can order more drinks (not expensive) as well as steamed abalone and grilled oysters (a matter of taste, really). Everything tasted good, and the dishes were served slowly, one by one. I was so full I forgot to take pictures, so I'll just attach the translated menu for the steamed bean bun. In the evening, we visited the small, free museum (which explained the history of dam construction). The next day, we took the forest train (a little over two hours round trip, with beautiful scenery; there are lockers at the station for luggage storage). Unfortunately, I didn't realize there was a stop in the middle where you could get off for an onsen soak and then catch the train back; I'll have to try that next time. The hotel corridors display photos of famous people who have stayed there, such as the Emperor, US Presidents, and Kawabata Yasunari, along with some incomprehensible artwork to appreciate. The staff were all very friendly. The hotel doesn't have Chinese services, so I assume there aren't many Chinese tourists. Japanese communication would be smoother. You need to hand in your room key to the front desk when going out. Do note that check-out is before 10 AM. Since we had to catch the forest train, we missed the hotel's drop-off service and took a local train to transfer to the Shinkansen ourselves. The hotel is less than 1 km from the local train station. All in all, traveling during the off-peak season was both economical and provided a great experience. I'd give it 100 points this time."

"The hotel is a 10-minute walk from Unazuki Station. Since there was a heavy storm that day, It was raining, so it was a bit awkward dragging my suitcase to the hotel. It was just renovated in 2023. There is a little smell in the room and the hot spring is very good! I paid extra to book a private bath. The water quality is so comfortable! The accommodation included dinner and breakfast the next day. The dinner was delicious. A male waiter could speak simple Chinese and had been to Shanghai. Basic communication was no problem. Breakfast the next day was still delicious. This hot spring area is relatively unpopular and there are not many online introductions, but it can avoid the crowds."
