badmigraine 0 Posted January 17, 2005 Share Posted January 17, 2005 Any recommendations on a comfortable or charming hotel within easy driving distance of Kandatsu or Echigo Yuzawa Stn.? I'm going up there with my wife and 5-month-old baby. They will probably loll around the hotel/ryokan while Mogs and I attack the slopes. No longer is it the cheapest drinkingest accommodations available for just me and Mogs. My wife likes to be warm and comfy and be amply supplied with cakes, coffee and some flashing lights and shopping or delicious food (as opposed to production-line group resort hotel dorm style living/eating). Nice if there is a "family-buro" type onsen in it or near to it, so we can enjoy some family time. Maybe Mogs' wife and baby will join us nude in the family-buro! Recommendations, anyone?

big-will 7 Posted January 17, 2005 Share Posted January 17, 2005 I've stayed at a few places on this site: Asahikan - near Iwappara/Yuzawa Park - very friendly family owned nice place. Good food. Japanese style. Naspa - expensive, but "deluxe". Link to post Share on other sites
montoya 0 Posted January 17, 2005 Share Posted January 17, 2005 I know you're asking about lodging, but there's an udon restaurant on Onsen-dori that we really like called Moritaki: http://r.gnavi.co.jp/Mg/51/3003451.html cheap, tasty and funky interior. but you gotta make reservations if you're coming on the weekend. there's the New Otani close by the Shink station, but don't know anyone who has stayed there..

BigSausage 0 Posted January 17, 2005 Share Posted January 17, 2005 The New Otani is awful, very old and looks it. The 2nd New Otani in the town (the Naspa one) is far far superior. Link to post Share on other sites
linalmeemow 0 Posted January 18, 2005 Share Posted January 18, 2005 The Sporea was really nice - in Echigo Yuzawa, 5 minutes walk from the station. Easy to get a good deal there if you check online too. Link to post Share on other sites
