Kutsuroginoya Yuu

This was by far the best place we stayed during our time in the Kamikochi area. From the moment we arrived until the moment we left, every member of the staff made us feel genuinely welcome. Their hospitality was warm, attentive, and truly exceptional. The hotel is full of thoughtful details that reflect traditional Japanese culture. We especially loved all the beautiful handcrafted decorations throughout the property. The gift shop was another highlight—the owner’s mother handmakes many of the souvenirs herself. They were so unique and beautiful that we couldn’t resist buying quite a few to take home. Our room was spacious, spotless, and equipped with everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The onsen was also wonderful—peaceful, relaxing, and the perfect way to unwind after exploring Kamikochi. This hotel gave us an unforgettable experience and made our trip even more special. We would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting the area.

We had a truly unique experience in this Ryokan: wonderful people who welcomed us like family, delicious meals - best we've had in Japan, marvellous room and baths, and the attention to detail - they brought a present to my partner because it was her birthday a few days earlier. Thank you very much to the family at Ryokan Kutsuroginoya Yuu who made this a very special stay.

Wonderful cheerful hospitality throughout our stay here. Kaiseki meals were outstanding! Our room with private outdoor onsen and mountain view was a perfect enchanting respite and recharge halfway through our whirlwind tour of Japan. Lovely!
