This was the unexpected highlight of the trip. We booked here as our first location option at gala was full, and what a surprise it was. It's very Japanese for a westerner but a beautiful experience. Very warm and clean.

Wonderful Ryokan
This ryokan has an excellent hot spring on-site. Their breakfast is excellent, and the staff were kind and accommodating. The room was quiet and very comfortable. However, most of the restaurants in Yuzawa close at 7 pm during the off-season (summer), so their shuttles don't run after 6 or 7 pm during the week. It can be a bit inconvenient.

Location, food, service all excellent.
3 minutes by bus from Gala Yuzawa ski resort (free pickup/dropoff). Nice views of the Yuzawa neighborhood. Great breakfast and dinner. Not walkable to Yuzawa town so suggest you opt for full board. Bonus: mini museum featuring the room used by the author of "Yukiguni" (Snow Country) a famous Japanese novel.

Cosy Ryokan
The ryokan is just within minutes to Gala Yuzawa Station. It provides shuttle service and hence, makes it extremely convenient to travel to both Gala Yuzawa Station as well as Echigo Yuzawa Station. This was the most enjoyable part of our stay in Japan. Love the Kiseiki Omakase dinner. The staff were all very friendly and always smiling. The only regret that we had was that we didn't ask for softer pillows earlier. Do ask for Soft pillows if you are not used to traditional hard buckwheat pillows. The room's bathroom and toilet are a little aged, which added to the charm to the hotel. We didn't mind it as they were both kept clean throughout our stay. We stayed on the 5th floor corner room, which provided an excellent view.

A great visit and experience with my son.
My son (7) and I decided to head to GALA for his birthday weekend and I wanted him to have a Japanese ryokan experience. Simply put, he LOVED the place. In fact, he wanted to move to Japan after staying here. Overall, it was an excellent place to stay and the staff were absolutely wonderful. One night, with no taxi and tempreatures near freezing, one of the mangers offered to drop us off to a near by ramen place even though they had suspended rides for the day. Now that's service! The room has a small bath/shower but my son and I never used it. We took advantage of the free 'onsen' every night before bed. We even got in a bit of pingpong and ice cream (for him), beer (for me) as a night cap.
