This hotel has the convenience of a newer and modern accommodation but the rooms keep a little bit of the traditional ”ryokan” feel to them, which I found wonderful. Everything was super clean (spotless) and the staff was very very helpful. The view from my room was fantastic. Would definitely stay here again.
It's close to the station, so it's convenient for transportation. It's a shame there isn't a large public bath. There's a convenience store and restaurants nearby, so it's not a problem. It feels like an APA Hotel with a strong business hotel feel.
To be honest, the appearance is old. However, the interior and interior have been renewed and are not old-fashioned. The view of the open space and restaurant was so great that I forgot the oldness! The windows are large and the sash is small, so the scenery is good and you can feel as if you are on the water.
Also, the service at the restaurant was very polite. Overall I am very satisfied.
A 120-year-old shop with 150-year-old bonsai-like old trees in the backyard~ The condition of the house can be imagined. The floor will creak and creak. If you sleep lightly, you should go to a big hotel, but if you die of sleep, maybe I won’t mind ´∀`, but the degree of satisfaction varies from person to person and will not be influenced by the accommodation~
The toilet is clean and tidy with an electric toilet lid, which should be newly renovated. The toilets and bathrooms are shared. The boss is very nice and talkative. Behind the house is Lake Kamo. He also took us to feed the seagulls and swans. Those who need a car will drive them to the car rental office. It's a 7 or 8 minute walk from Ryotsu Port. It's easy to find.
In a tatami room, there are two-layer mattresses for sleeping. Sometimes the quilt will be delivered later to help the guests make the bed. If the room is large, it may be put in advance.
The facilities in the hotel are complete, there is a kitchenette, laundry, dryer, and massage chair, very comfortable, not far from the pick-up station, about 5 minutes walk, there is a small night grocery store next to the connection station, you can buy snacks first.
A guest house where you can enjoy seasonal local dishes unique to the area

3) Acceptable walking distance to the Shinkansen station
4) Daily room cleaning service
5) The owner is very kind and friendly
6) Laundry room and drying facilities for clothes and ski gear available

GGuest UserThe lady at the counter was so accommodating. Provided everything we needed and was happy to help in any other way. Spoke a little English but used google translate to help. We couldn't use the dining room for dinner, I think that had to be booked in advance. There was only one or two other places open in town at 7.30pm for dinner. So wasn't many options. The room had stains all over the floor, but otherwise the beds were clean, and comfortable being on the harder springy side, and the bathroom was very clean. The onsen was amazing. The room was a good size, and had extra toilets down the hall if we needed them. The Japanese breakfast that was provided was fantastic. We only stayed one night because we were walking the next day just near there otherwise would have stayed in a bigger town, because of the limited outside facilities. But for the price and it was convenient it was good. Would stay again if I had to, but otherwise would go for a bit nicer place.
YYKBJIf I had the opportunity, I would come here every year. Some places get better over time and Silver Otawa is one of them. Run for over 40 years, it is a joy to see 3 generations of the family working side by side to make guests stay here so welcoming. My son and I used it as our base for a week of skiing in the myokogen area. Every day we were ferried (complimentarily) to a different ski field. In addition to accommodation and transport, Silver Otawa also rented us ski equipment (so no need to go anywhere else for that!) and we also enjoyed breakfast and dinner there every day - all for a very reasonable price (their multi course dinner was just 2500 yen per person!). Accommodation was spotless clean and service warm, friendly and super professional. I would have no recommendation to recommend you stay at Silver Otawa. Amazing place and true value for money.
GGuest UserThis was my first time staying here. The building doesn't seem to be new, but from the entrance you can feel the atmosphere and history of the building.
The hallways are long and there are many banquet halls, so it seems like the building must have been bustling in the past.
The tatami room was clean and I was able to stay comfortably, but the TV was small, which was a bit of a concern.
I went to the recommended open-air rock bath in the morning, and the atmosphere was great, the water felt good, and my skin felt smooth after the bath all day.
The breakfast area was also stylishly designed, and the variety of dishes and elaborate food was very delicious.
The other person who went with me was very satisfied and said that he would like to stay here again next time.
I stopped by on a business trip this time, and had a very pleasant time.
Thank you very much.
SStabackThis place is just 5 minutes away from ishiuchi maruyama ski gondola. Great value place to stay which is easily bookable.
Owner provided transfer to and from echigo yuzawa station. Very friendly and even helped to carry the heavy luggage up the car and to our room. No lift access which is very common in smaller places like these.
Two private bathhouse available for sharing.
Rental price is great and he took great effort in ensuring fit. Also discounted gondola prices available.
Breakfast was delicious which was included too.
Overall owner and his wife are very warm to all the customers. Would stay here again!
KKatieKeiko was a lovely host. She was super friendly and welcoming to the area. She was available for any questions we had and was also able to provide a freshly cooked breakfast/dinner at a very small cost. There was free parking behind the accommodation which was great as we had our own entry/exit after hours.
The room was spacious, but while the heating wasn't very strong, the bedding was extremely warm and comfortable.
Would be more than happy to stay here again any time we're in the area!
SSamuel JasonI really enjoyed my stay! The host was super friendly and made the whole experience even better. The place is about a 15-minute drive from the city center, so it’s not right in the middle of things, but the amazing view totally makes up for it. It’s such a nice spot to chill and take in the scenery. Plus, the WiFi was really fast, which was a big win for me. Would definitely stay here again!

GGuest UserVery near to Nakazato Yuzawa station.
Very friendly lady boss and everything is good.
Limited food choice while there is a Thai restaurant nearby and a FamilyMart which require farther walk.
Will recommend to those intending to do winter activity at Nakazato Ski resort.
