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.

Old Onsen with transport to pick u from station. Shopping street is at the same area as station. A little museum within the ryokan. Food is good for the price we paid. Staff recommended that We go to Yuzawa kogen the scenery is breath taking. U can get the rope way tickets at the hotel.

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.

Takahan might be a lil on the old side but its location is great and the service is warm n fantastic, closest ryokan to Gala Yuzawa Ski Resort and only a 3min FREE shuttle bus ride to Echigo Yuzawa for food n shopping. Breakfest spread is pretty good too!! I would stay here again for sure!

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.

Historic hotel with more
Not far from the snow resort though there is a hotel shuttle every half hour till 6pm. Breakfast included very good pay a bit extra for a room on 5 or 6 floor with window view you won't regret it, what a view to wake up to. Library with Japanese books, museum and even a table tennis table make for an enjoyable stay.

I love the Takahan. This is the 4th time we've stayed here. We've tried other places in town but keep coming back to it. They have a shuttle bus to pick you up from the station but can also take you to Gala and Yuzawa Kogen for skiing. Best onsen around.

お部屋が古いことはわかっていましたが、 古くても清潔感のあるお部屋かどうかが 重要だと思います。 正直、清潔感は感じられない ただの古い旅館でした。 特に窓際の椅子が布張りでしたが、 汚れが目立つ無地オフホワイト色なので 染みの跡がクッキリ。 汚れるのがわかっているので 柄入りのダーク色にするなど 工夫はできると思います。 私にはちょっと厳しいな、という印象です。 多分翌日別の宿に泊まったので それとの比較をしてしまい 厳しい評価となりました。 スタッフの方々は皆さんとても優しく 心配りを色々してくださいました。 ありがとうございました。
