Hatsunoyu

老闆的英文很好溝通順暢，房間很大有暖氣，乾淨衞生。私湯挺乾淨的，對面就是初之湯。晚上出去泡街上的公共湯體驗很好，下着雪，穿着浴衣也不會冷。 早上老闆送我們去了車站非常感謝。在湯田中渡過了短暫但温暖的一晚。會推薦其他朋友過來的！ The host was great and easy to communicate with, speaking excellent English. The room was big, clean, and warm. The private onsen was nice and clean, and Hatsu-no-Yu was just across the street. We loved soaking in the public onsen at night while it was snowing.feel super warm only wearing the yukata. In the early morning, the host kindly drove us to the station. It was a short but lovely stay in Yudanaka. Highly recommend it to friends!

We chose this Ryokan for a "unique, rustic experience" and we definitely got it! The place is run by a charming lady and her husband (who stayed behind the scenes). The husband's family has owned the ryokan for several generations. They picked up our party of 10 from the train station in a small Nissan and a CRV. It took two trips. The place is over 100 years old. Our room had a phone with a dial and a VCR. You walk through an underground tunnel to get to the dining area which is in the adjacent building. The lady sees you off at the Ryokan building and by the time you get to the dining room, she is already there ready to serve you dinner! There are two different onsens which were ancient but enjoyable. There are were so many funny, memorable things about this experience that made us laugh. I am glad we stayed here for that reason.
