Echigoyuzawa Onsen Hotel Aster

Exit at east exit from train station Walk straight ..owner very nice . Can use laundry after asking him . Onsen at 2/F. Can lock up for private use. Family mart nearby

The hotel is on the East side of the station which we hadn't stayed before. Its quieter then the West which was nice but still close to some restaurants and the main bus stops for ski resorts. Its about a 5 min walk from the station. We arrived and nobody was at reception and even dinging the bell we had to wait a while. It is a bit of a mess downstairs in reception with the owners clutter but that has nothing to do with your stay so not to worry. We did request a Japanese room if available but nothing was ever mentioned about that and we just got a western style twin. The owner didnt know much english so we didn't want to bother trying to explain. It was clean, neat and every day we got new towels, yukata, new tea, bed made etc. There is a dry room downstairs for your skis and boots and gear and everything was toasty and warm in the morning. You leave the key in the box when you leave each day and get it back from reception once you return, though if we went out for dinner again later or to the konbini we would just keep it on us. You have your own bathroom but they also have 1 Japanese Onsen and you can use it for private and lock the door. It was so nice to have private Onsen as we have rarely been able to have Onsen together in Japan as a couple. It is also a close walk to a Lawson so you don’t have to fight the other tourists for food at the 7 Eleven on the west side. Or you can go to Matsumoto KiYoshi at the station East side. The hotel was quiet when we were there. Perhaps there wasn't many guests or maybe they were just considerate and quiet people. I would stay here again for sure but would like to get a Japanese room next time.

We stayed here for 4 nights for the Fuji Rock Festiv al. Turned out to be a really good decision because after a long and hot summer day, we could always crash to a comfy bed and a clean room. The room itself is very spacious by Japanese standards. We were able fit in a couple of medium-sized luggages.

I stayed with my husband and friends and had the best time! The owner is a sweet old man who usually waited for us to get back even if it was around midnight on most days! Clean and well-kept rooms that are very spacious compared to most places we've stayed at in Tokyo and the location is great too! Will definitely stay here again and recommend to others. Thank you so much 🙇♀️🙇♀️

the boss is very casual, he will allow you to do anything and let you feel like live in your home, and the view is very good
