Hotels near Eirinji Temple

"This is an exceptional ryokan. Only three rooms but very large rooms with a sunroom with "western style" chairs for those of us who aren't as limber as we used to be. The staff are very friendly and helpful. Quiet location with excellent views of the mountains. The food here is sensational and comes with English explanations of the dishes. They are very particular in adhering to any requests guests may have with regard to what they can and can't eat. The dining room has "western style" seating also. The onsen facilities are excellent. I can't recommend this ryokan highly enough. It is quite something."

"Very traditional Japanese style inn. If you are looking for stainless steel, soulless, and sterilized, this is not the place for you. This place is old, with all of the patina that comes with that. The breakfast is an incredible traditional country food buffet with local highlights. The reception was warm and kind- and the tatami rooms were very spacious. Exactly the kind of authentic culture we wanted."

"The property is located in a convenient location with lots of dining options. There is busy night life in the neighbourhood which may feel dodgy to walk solo at night but Japan is a very safe country as a whole. Rooms are small but clean. We booked separate rooms for each of us and the prices were very reasonable. The rooms were newly refurbished and very clean. Staff was courteous and helpful. Public parking was available within a short walk. All in all, a comfortable quick stop on a road trip. "

"The hotel’s remote location and beautiful views were wonderful! The hotel’s shuttle from and to Echigo-Yuzawa Station was very much appreciated. From Check-in to check-out the staff service was excellent. The Japanese/Western room was spacious. We had a corner unit with a view of the snow and trees. The booking came with buffet breakfast and dinner we were so happy and satisfied-the food layout was appetizing and very delicious. A free-flow of alcohol drinks during the meal was offered and we utilized it the first night of our stay-it is a timed period of 75 minutes at a small additional cost per person. We enjoyed both the hotels onsen baths. The main bath is on the first floor of the main building and it has an indoor and outdoor bath. The view from the outdoor bath is majestic and relaxing with the snowy field and trees. The second bath is on the 7th floor of the annex and it was only indoor but was still wonderful and stress-relieving. Since we were from Hawaii, USA the staff’s English was much better than my elementary Japanese. Translation apps on phones are useful. Everyone was kind and so helpful. Take a chance and stay at this wonderful hotel! We came during winter so we could snowboard. The hotel shuttle will take you to Echigo-Yuzawa station and then from station you can take free shuttles to the various slopes in the Yuzawa area. But I am sure this hotel is wonderful anytime of the year! Aloha Oe! "
