Okada Ryokan Warakutei

Very great stay, surrounded by snowy mountains! Room was clean, staff friendly!

I had a very relaxing three-night stay at Okada Ryokan. The service was excellent—staff were consistently warm and attentive, especially during meal times, which made the experience feel extra special. The food was simple and clean. I enjoyed it a lot but I was getting a little bored of it by the 5th meal. We added on a hida beef steak after seeing a few Japanese tourist ordering it. If you like fatty and soft beef, you should try it. The public onsen is spacious, with four pools. The outdoor pool is big and quiet. The room was comfortable and well heated for winter. The private onsen in the room was a highlight; it easily fits two people and was perfect for relaxing after a long day. This ryokan is over 100 years old, with parts of the structure dating back around 150 years. For a building of that age, I’d say it’s been well maintained. A small part of me wish the bathroom could be newer and cleaner but I would be missing the whole point. Staying here truly feels like stepping back in time—it was a unique and memorable experience. There are two local ski resorts within a 15-minute drive, and Takayama is about a 45-minute drive away.

Nice ryokan. Booked room with private onsen. Onsen is old. Wood of onsen are rotting. Food is average.

This was such a lovely place to stay. The room was nice and spacious, allowing us to feel at home. Not only were we taken care of by means of beautiful breakfast and dinner, but the staff were extremely helpful when we talked to them about hiking in Kamokochi. I would highly recommend booking this place especially with a meal plan, since it was nice to have food sorted after Hiking all day.

Onsen is perfect. 2 indoors pool and 1 outdoor that can see snowy mountains. Can smell sulphur in the onsen water. Played table tennis which I think was a good entertainment. friendly staff, very accommodating. Heated room in cold winter.

Nice location big parking car, less if plug and there re not private onsen when we there. But public onsen is very good highly recommend for outdoor onsen

The room with onsen is very good. The room size is large and there’re indoor & outdoor onsen in your room. You can relax all time in your room.
