"Right next to the train station convenient as a launch pad. Hotel feels modern and warm. Front desk staff helped us called a dozen local restaurants to book dinner for new year eve, although we can’t find one over the phone, we definitely appreciated their dedication and service. Onsite public onsen is great, clean and tasteful, it has both indoor and outdoor pools."

"Breakfast was delicious. Walking distance from the JR station. Room was basic but had everything you need. "

"The hotel has wonderful services. My room has minimal water and desserts in refrigerator and there’s ice cream and yogurt on the onsen floor for free. I also like breakfast it’s delicious. "

"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."

"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. "

"Excellent stay. Everything stands out. Clean, safe, wonderful, amazing snowy night and day. Staying there for 2 nights was so dreamy. The onsen experience was unreal. Breakfast was filling with a great set offered. Staffs were helpful and patient. Language barrier was not a big issue. They sincerely try their very best to accomodate. If you want perfect english, best to visit an english-speaking country."
