Independent in Okuhida Hot Spring Village from AU$82

"Good stuff, exactly as advertised. Do business here."

"We had a wonderful 4-day, 3-night stay at Ryokan Sansui and truly enjoyed every moment. The ryokan has a very traditional Japanese atmosphere—an old wooden building full of character, beautifully maintained, clean, and well cared for. It feels authentic and calming, exactly what you hope for in a classic ryokan. After skiing during the day, the indoor and outdoor onsen were incredibly relaxing. Soaking in the hot spring in the cold winter air was one of the highlights of our trip and the perfect way to unwind each evening. The ryokan is also very kid-friendly, which we really appreciated while traveling with our toddler. All the staff were exceptionally kind, patient, and welcoming, and they went out of their way to make our child feel comfortable. That warmth made a big difference for us as a family. We stayed on a half-board plan, and both breakfast and dinner were excellent, with a wide variety of beautifully prepared dishes. Over the course of our stay, we enjoyed Hida beef in different styles, including shabu-shabu, sukiyaki, and nikuyaki—each one delicious and thoughtfully presented. Overall, Ryokan Sansui offers a perfect blend of traditional charm, comfort, great food, and heartfelt hospitality. It’s an ideal place to relax, especially after outdoor activities, and we would happily return again."

"Reception staff wonderfully helpful. Went over and above to assist with an emergency booking due to storms cancelling all outbound trains."

"This hotel was wonderful, great location, the breakfast was really good. The room was clean "

"Nice hotel, great hospitality.Very reasonable price with breakie. Room is spacious for family. On top of that, breakfast is satisfying with various choices. Open air onsen allow you to relax after whole day activities. A plus is small private onsen room(only fit a couple). Personally, Hotel location is best with transportation (I suggest hotel considering hourly shutter service). I(with teens) find it tiring may need a lot walking to visiting spots. My family enjoy very much for the stays in WAT Hotel. "
