Miyama Ouan Kyoritsu Resort

Well, I don't even know where to start. The summary - this Hotel is definitely the highlight point of our whole 2024 journey through Japan. For context - it's the third time we are in this country and this time we've been traveling for a whole month. If you have a chance to go here - don't hesitate. This is the hotel to enjoy the culture and cuisine most conveniently. As for the details: Japanese-Western Room with Hot Spring Bath - exceeded all of my expectations several times. Just wow, this new, this modern yet with a very clear Japanese style, and the second wow for all of the space, such a luxury! The wood, the details, the quality, impeccable cleanness. The bath deserved its own wow. So convenient, with regulated heat and a wide window with an option to open it and keep privacy. The staff speaks English very well. Lots of additional perks like simple but free "nighttime ramen", beverages, snacks, and sake. Great onsen space with additional private but free spots to enjoy it for couples, kids, and friends. Well managed, friendly. And the building itself - the amazingly decorated corridors, the lamps, the floors, the info tables, and the signs - I've enjoyed every inch of them. Well done with the whole design and keeping it in such a great shape. We've had half board options - high-quality Kaiseki for breakfast and Shabu-Shabu or Yakiniku for dinner. The hotel offers helpful transfer, convenient for large travel bag users. Without them - it's pretty close to the bus station. So many things I liked, but the last one to mention is the view from our restaurant counter, it really looks like a picture, but it's the mindblowing reality.

We had a huge room with an incredible view onto gorgeuous nature. It felt so private. Our room also had a circular bathtub. Ultimate luxurious experience. The food was also 5 star. The private onsen we used as a couple was really dreamy, this we reserved at the reception desk for specific times and we got a timeslot of 30min, but was more than enough. The communal onsen was beautiful and has seperated male and female. When we there in the ealry morning, it was almost empty. I thought the staff were very helpful and kind. They helped us to forward our luggage to another destination.

The location was beautiful, the ryokan was really big. The entry and the baths were great, also the restaurant. The food was amazing and generous. We stayed two nights with dinner and breakfast. We really loved the onsen (public and private one) and the food there. Free ramen was also great. Free Yakult and milk were amazing. The room was really spacious. The bath tub in the room was also ok.

This place was absolutely gorgeous and so comfortable! We loved this place and were very happy to stay for 3 nights, but wish we stayed for longer. There are private onsens which are open for free to anyone if they are available (which a lot of times we found they were available which was great!). Our room was gorgeous with a private onsen as well and a lot of space. It was a bit pricey but so worth it for a rest we really needed while travelling in Japan. It was also snowing in this town so we had some breathtaking views while staying here. The food was great, and we loved the views from where we sat for breakfast looking over the mountains. There was also free drinks from 3pm to 9pm which was so cool. Free noodles at 10pm too.

My partner and I really enjoyed our stay in Miyama Ouan last December. The outdoor onsen and the hot spring bath in our room were the highlights. Taking a bath while watching snowfall is really an unforgettable experience. We also enjoyed each breakfast and dinner menu. They offer free yakult, sake, alcohol and ramen at certain times. They also offer pick-up and drop off service to the bus station which was very convenient as it was snowing quite a bit when we were there.
