Kurobe Unazukionsen Yamanoha

It rained for two days during our 8 days trip in Japan and I am very glad that it was during our stay here at this big hotel. The hotel fetched us both ways to and from the station as it was rainy. We could spend our time at the lounge with the big glass windows to view the two Yamibiko bridges and the gorge. There are dispenser machines here for all kinds of drinks including milk tea. We went to both the indoor and outdoor baths at the women onsen in the evening. When we went again in the morning, we realised that the locations for the men and women onsen were swapped. Toner and moisturizer are provided in the dressing room. There are a wide variety of food provided at both the dinner and breakfast buffet. The quality of the food is good. Room is spacious and comfortable. By staying at this hotel, we could ride the Kurobe Gorge train at 8.17 am. Staff is also polite, friendly and helpful. I would recommend this hotel if visiting Unazuki Onsen.

We loved this hotel! It was beautiful, and our room was very spacious with a great view of the river and bridges. Athough I had only booked a standard room, which I thought would be facing the car park, we were pleasantly surprised with the room we were provided. It was great to have a spacious room with table and chairs and plenty of room to open suitcases after staying in small pokey rooms in the city The buffet breakfast and dinner was fantastic although we are Aussies, we respect that it is not necessarily going to cater for Westerners, so we made to do with what was provided, and there was plenty! A couple of things that didn’t suit us (being Aussies). Strange teacups with no handles (although all other hotel cups were ceramic mugs with handles) and very small towels. The bath mat was no bigger than a handtowel and the main towels were not too much bigger than a large hand towel. The pillows were also way to firm, but if you like firm pillows, this would of course suit. If you can’t read Japanese like us, then make sure you know the hotel location as there is no English signage at the front entrance. The hotel has a shuttle bus from the train station, but it is only a 5 minute walk. It’s nice and close to the train station and Kurobe gorge rail train. A very small quiet town.
