Room rate is unreasonably high considering the quality of services and the hardwares. The meals are of acceptable standard but not impressive esp. the Hida Beef is disappointing in terms of quantity and cooking skill. I have to walk for over a hundred meters with several heavy luggages

Amazing onsen! In particular, there are two private open-air onsen that can be reserved on a first-come-first-serve basis, and are located next to the river (about 3 mins walk from the ryokan). The only issue I had is that rooms do not come with toilet - need to use a common toilet.

Wonderful hotel, hot natural baths next to river!
We had a great stay here in April 2018. Wonderful Japanese style room with view on the river. Great breakfast and dinner. And awesome hot natural baths (onsen) both inside the hotel and outside the hotel, 5 steps away to the river. We had a bath outside while it was snowing, very memorable!

Excellent environment but need to update facility
The environment is excellent! Bathing in open-air hot spring while snowing is enjoyable. The room is spacious and with beautiful view. However, the electricity wiring inside the room needed to be improved. When we tried to boil water, the fuse blew. The heater in the room shut down. It's 11 o'clock at night and there's no staff in the reception desk. We could not find any phone no. for emergency contact as well. Fortunately, there's air-conditioning in the room and it could bearly keep the room warm in the sub-zero temperature. When we told the staff about no heater last night, the staff told us "OK" and do nothing, like he didn't care at all. We were a bit disappointed as Japanese is well known for their service, perhaps not this hotel.

Magical Experience!
What a hotel! Surrounded by mountains and a lively river stream, this hotel has the best possible location (provided you have a car to reach)! Rooms are clean and the small balcony opens up facing the stream. Balcony has (i think) a heated mattress under the carpet so you feel comfortable sitting in the balcony sipping a hot Ocha in 0 degrees Celsius watching the little snowfall! This is just an awesome experience! Definitely going there again!

It was one of the most peaceful experiences we have had. You can't beat a raging river next to natural hot springs. The rain made it even more magical.

Beautiful setting in the mountains. Close to the rope way for hiking. Warm saunas overlooking raging river. Dinner is a bit pricey but there is a nice little restaurant two kilometers down the road with good food at a reasonable price.

Wonderful, authentic stay surrounded by nature!
We had a truly wonderful stay at the Shinzanso inn/ryokan. It was worth the travel. The inn was clean and well kept. The staff was kind and helpful. The food was amazing and we got to indulge in Japanese specialties. The onsen baths were a treat and a special experience. We stayed two nights and it was just the right amount time for us. We also went up the Ropeway to see the view of the Alps. Definitely recommended as part of a larger trip around Japan, we went between our time spent in Tokyo and Kyoto.

Amazing time at Shinzanso
We had an amazing stay at Shinzanso. Getting here can be a little difficult but it is well worth the journey. We did the full board which included the dinner and breakfast and we enjoyed both of our meals. The check-in process was fairly quick and we used signed up for our private onsen time with tons of options for time slots. The Onsen was the most spectacular thing we have done. You cannot imagine the feeling you have when you are surrounded by natural beauty while soaking in the hot spring. If you are going to be in the area or even remotely close, please make a stop here. You will not regret it.

Excellent onsen and very helpful staff
The hotel staff is very helpful. My car was stuck in deep snow and it couldn't move forward or back. The hotel staff handles it all for me and I could just proceed to check in and enjoy the onsen!

Heta källor dygnet runt
Den stora upplevelsen är kopplat till de varma utomhusbaden. Man kan dygnet runt ta ett varmt bad. Det finns finns både herr, dam och gemensamt bad samt privatbad. I japan förväntas man vara naken när man badar och endast skyla sig med en tyglapp. För den blyga kan badkläder användas
