Yuzawa Toei Hotel

The breakfast is very good, and the adjacent mountain is very quiet.

It's a steep climb from Echigo-Yuzawa Station. If you arrive before 6pm, you can contact the hotel's shuttle bus service. The cable car station is right next to the hotel, making it very convenient to go to Yuzawa Plateau.

I stayed here using a coupon given out by Yuzawa Town. At check-in, the front desk person spoke very quickly. Since the hotel is managed by the Toei Hotel chain, I was able to choose two out of many Toei goods. Toei movies and anime related items were placed around the front lobby. The exterior of the hotel and reception area looked a little old, but the rooms had been updated and were clean. The room sweets cookies were delicious. The room was a 12 tatami mat with a wide veranda overlooking the city of Yukawa and the snowy mountains in the distance. Most of my companions sat on chairs, so I sat alone in the middle of the large room and relaxed. According to the pamphlet, there will also be Toei's unique pre-characters and Kamen Rider rooms. Now, regarding the bathroom, the washroom area has also been renovated, and there are lockers with locks and a large washroom with a three-sided mirror, making it very comfortable. There was a water cooler in the wash area, and there were various amenities such as creel for heels and cream with glucosamine, but there was no all-in-one. Also, there are no combs, so it's better to bring your own (someone was making a fuss about not having a comb or brush). There are two indoor baths, a large bath. Also, the open-air rock bath is very large (like a pool) and is said to be one of the largest in the area. There was a three-tiered waterfall and the water was hot to the touch. When I asked about it, I was told that it circulates the hot springs. The hot springs are free, transparent and gentle. We had dinner at the restaurant. The 8 appetizer platter and the seafood and pork ham salad looked and tasted great and were perfect starters for the meal. The miso milk hot pot made with soy milk and milk was gentle and warmed my body. The meat dish was imported beef steak, but it was served as a side dish with rice with Chaliapin sauce. The Koshihikari rice from Uonuma was served self-style. The chocolate cake for dessert was also delicious. However, the alcoholic beverages were expensive, starting at 1,540 yen for 300cc (880 yen per cup, 4,400 yen for a bottle of wine). I ordered local sake. The restaurant staff were kind, polite, and kind. Dinner will be a buffet depending on the day (ski sheath, etc.), but I'm glad it wasn't a buffet day and I was able to eat slowly. Breakfast was a buffet at a large venue that could be used for weddings. We ate ratatouille & boiled salmon (which goes well with rice), rice balls, snow-split carrot juice, salted bracken pickled vegetables, and stew of bracken and wheat gluten. It's a normal buffet. The miso soup was salty, but the koji was delicious. Well, this time, the senior plan was 9,900 yen per person (plus discount from Yuzawa Town), so I didn't have high expectations, but the hot springs, room, and dinner were good, so I was satisfied with my stay. Both of us were satisfied and said, ``Let's come again.''

The sauna was out of order and was not available again. To attract customers, he started a restaurant called Toei Hotel, but unlike the description on the website, it is only open for lunch. Instead, the restaurant will be closed. Karaoke is also suspended. Breakfast is one step further. Have dinner outside. Not making good use of the location.
