Ōmiya Ryokan

Everything about the hotel is great, rooms were quite big, the onsen was great, a big common area was there. However when I was checking out they asked me additional money for using the onsen, which is supposed to be covered in the room charges. If I had to pay additional money for onsen I could have booked a cheap hotel and used a public onsen.

Our time at Omiya Ryokan was fantastic. We stayed in a western style room (which was very spacious), and the bed and amenities were very comfortable. The Ryokan itself is huge and beautiful, we found walking the halls wearing a yukata a really fun and relaxing experience after hitting the slopes (which are very close by). The food here was a real highlight, with carefully crafted dishes every morning and night that served as a showcase for locally exquisite cuisine. All of the staff were so lovely. The hotel onsen is also great, but on some days was too hot to enter and we had to return later after the temperature was adjusted. There are also other nearby public onsen, including just outside the front. Highly recommend a few days here.

My stay at the hotel was decent. The room was clean, and the bed was comfortable enough. The staff was generally polite, but I felt they could have been more attentive. The location was convenient, and the breakfast was satisfactory. Overall, it was a standard experience without any standout features.

Can stay but need to check in early so can look more greenness and enjoy onsen nice for the whole day!

I stayed a week at Omiya and it was a very tranquil and relaxing experience. In probably the best location in town, next to a cool public onsen and the shrine, and a few minute walk to Jupeer cable car and ski slopes it’s very helpful. It has beautiful views from the relaxation room in the morning, and the traditional Japanese rooms is everything you expect from a nice ryokan experience. Most of the staff only speak Japanese, which means a truly authentic experience. They have two onsen rooms which switch every 24 hours or less between men and women, and is absolutely amazing to have those facilities seconds from your room, super relaxing. Had a great time

this hotel in general is not bad, except the way access to hotel is very insecure and unsafe especially in the winter time, heavy snow will cause great hardship to enter the hotel. the way to parking place is very narrow and weird. Also, you need to walk up to your room with your own luggage, as no elevator within the hotel, you can imagine the hardship when you check out, you bring your own luggage down could be challenging 😉

I have a wonderful time at Zao Onsen Omiya Ryokan! The front desk able to speak basic english. I booked a traditional style of futon bed, everything is clean. Their dinner is strongly recommended! Abit pricy but definitely worth it

Very nice Ryokan. Room is big, clean & spacious. The property very well maintained n staff are helpful n friendly. They provide fresh fruits n snacks daily. We bought the package with 1/2 board which comes with breakfast n dinner. Their meals were very good. Very valued for money. Highly recommended. we enjoyed our stay.
