"Our stay here was amazing. The onsens were relaxing and beautiful, but the staff is what made our stay one of our favorite places while in Japan. Everyone went above and beyond to make us feel welcome and at home."

"The food is delicious and very varied. And the onsen bath was fantastic. They have access to a spring that makes your skin feel soft like cotton.
Truly a lovely experience"

This hotel was an incredible experience from the moment we arrived at the station where a staff member of the hotel was waiting to pick us up with a shuttle to the hotel without us even requesting that service. We were greeted with a warm welcome at this beautiful hotel with green tea, shown to our beautiful room and the lovely staff explained the amenities available. The room was comfortable, the multicourse meal that evening was top quality and because of the special occasion we were surprised...

We were looking for a more traditional Japenese experience whilst also wanting to see the Snow Monkeys and this place did not disappoint!
Free shuttle from the station to the hotel and we were greeted by very lovely staff members who gave us really useful info on the hotel and the onsen’s within the village. The hotel comes with 9 onsen’s which you can book and get private use through ur the day (no need to book after certain times, you just enter and lock the door). The hotel is also part of...

Great accommodation, very comfortable, decent choice of food from the vending machines, good breakfast. Perfect location... 3-minute walk from the cableway up to Kagura ski resort and the bus stop from the train station. They also offer discounted ski passes (cheaper than the ski resort) and Onsen passes. Highly recommend for those looking to ski at Kagura or explore the area.

We really enjoyed our stay at Hotel Sakurai. We booked the top floor suites, which came with several extra benefits.
The room was very large and well laid out, with a kitchen, a bathroom with a jacuzzi and stunning view, two bedrooms, and a living area. We were taken straight to our room by a concierge when we checked in, which was a nice touch. The view was excellent — you could see the town centre from the room.
We also had access to the Sakura Lounge, where food and drinks were included,...

the owners made us feel very at home, they could not do more to please us as their guests, we were treated more like family!
the Japanese breakfast we courteously served, it was delicious!
we could not recommend this Ryokan enough, especially with the obliging owners!

Went with the kids. The hotel offers some classes for us to learn skiing or snowboarding. Stayed couple nights.
Great experience. Would go to the same hotel if we ever go to Arai.
