Independent, Suwakyo Promenade hotels

A lovely Japanese style accomodation. Refreshing to see that shoes are off limits at the property and they provide good lockers for the shoes. Private baths and onsens are available for a soak after a day out to explore. Breakfast is good too though the timings of breakfast are a tad early but best way to start the day ! :)

Family of 2 adults and 2 kids (12 and 8 yrs old). The ryokan was lovely and the rooms were good sized and very nice, with outdoor bath and patio overlooking the river. The service was very attentive and the staff very polite. Dinner and breakfast was very delicious and way too much. We loved it.

The view of the slopes was fantastic. The room was adequately spacious. We love that each room had lockers for our ski gear. Of course, the best part of this hotel is that you can just walk out of the hotel straight to the ski lifts. Outside of skiing, it's convenient that we can just walk around the massive building complex to shop or eat.

room was clean and great, parking available. breakfast was nice, and had onsen baths available.

Wonderful Japanese style hotel located less than ten minutes walk from Echigo Yuzawa Station - Futaba also provides free transfer to/from the station. This hotel is ideal for skiers and snowboarders - Benri Ski Rental has a branch within the hotel and provides daily free transfers to/from the slopes within the Yuzawa region. Ski rentals and ski pass purchase can be conveniently billed to the room. The front desk staff are friendly and helpful. Our clean and well maintained Japanese style room...

It was a fantastic experience. The host and staffs were very helpful and friendly. Free parking and valet service made driving there a breeze. The room with private onsen was so beautiful and soaking in the bath with snow falling. The dinner and breakfast was such a generous spread and everything was served with very personal service.

I find this hotel well situated, has great parking, the staff were friendly and helpful. The room was comfy. The water was nicely warm despite the cold weather. It was a great experience.

This was a superb stay, service was perfect and the surrounding areas were serene and beautiful.

Stayed at Aratashi Minakami for 5 nights and it was incredible. The rooms are large and comfy. Spacious enough for 3 double beds and luggage! Our package came with breakfast and dinner and every meal was gourmet level. The private hot tub on the room balcony is a special touch and great for enjoying the sounds and view of the river below while soaking aching muscles after a day of snowboarding. Well down Aratashi Minakami team! I’ll be back again!

Nice traditional old Japanese style stay. Though Breakfast is also traditionally Japanese style with rice! Yes morning Breakfast with rice, we still prefer bread or something light. Room extremely spacious compare to Tokyo city. Might need some renovations to upgrade tho.

Rooms were clean, spacious and fun! We enjoyed the facilities like the buffet dinner and breakfast that came with a small top up to the hotel stay! Also, the onsen was big and enjoyable!

Good and friendly staffs. Hotel abit old but is clean. Overall good!
