The ryokan has a very traditional Japanese atmosphere—an old wooden building full of character, beautifully maintained, clean, and well cared for. It feels authentic and calming, exactly what you hope for in a classic ryokan. After skiing during the day, the indoor and outdoor onsen were incredibly relaxing. Soaking in the hot spring in the cold winter air was one of the highlights of our trip and the perfect way to unwind each evening. The ryokan is also very kid-friendly, which we really appreciated while traveling with our toddler. All the staff were exceptionally kind, patient, and welcoming, and they went out of their way to make our child feel comfortable. That warmth made a big difference for us as a family. We stayed on a half-board plan, and both breakfast and dinner were excellent, with a wide variety of beautifully prepared dishes. Over the course of our stay, we enjoyed Hida beef in different styles, including shabu-shabu, sukiyaki, and nikuyaki—each one delicious and thoughtfully presented. Overall, Ryokan Sansui offers a perfect blend of traditional charm, comfort, great food, and heartfelt hospitality. It’s an ideal place to relax, especially after outdoor activities, and we would happily return again. ![Outdoor onsen sunrise](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/afb5d4b4-22f2-45d7-a6e1-8d7ba4f6d80d-1768212382535.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![Outdoor onsen](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/56bc00ca-e09f-47ce-ba2e-9ed7053c8b04-1768212369895.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![Mountain view after snow](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/b0af99e0-2c33-49f0-b83f-deff976db19f-1768212433338.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![Ryokan street view in the snow](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/e1c5ac2b-62e5-4033-9695-2509d7fc4bcf-1768212416906.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Pengpeng Stayed 3 nights in Jan 2026 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Thomas 14 Nov 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Lovely rooms and in-site onsen (both public and private).

The night of my arrival as I walked pass the ryokan they called out to me so I would not remain lost. ##### David Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Jeffrey 20 Nov 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service Disliked: Property conditions & facilities #### Has potential Nice location and beautiful surroundings. Ryokan has definitely seen better days and is need of refurbishing. Still staff is friendly and helpful. Meal is traditional so may not be for everyone. The onsens also look dated and can be brighter. ##### Jeffrey Stayed 1 night in Nov 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Farzad 17 Nov 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities We loved our stay at Ryokan Sansui. The view of the mountains around the hotel were amazing with tri-colored foliage. The staff were also very lovely and kind. The food was also delicious and more than I had expected. Communication wasn't too easy, but the message would get across. The best part was, of course, the onsen (hot spring) experience. They offer both public (gender-separated) hot springs and baths, as well as 4 private ones that don't need prior booking or extra fees. Getting there and back took a lot of time though, so our 1-day trip seemed a bit too short. ##### Farzad Stayed 1 night in Nov 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Vanessa 27 Nov 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities The service and attention to details were top notch. The owner/manager was very helpful and with his help we were able to go to Kamikochi by public transportation even though it was closed. We really wanted to do this so his help was much appreciated. We did not have breakfast but the dinner was very good and served by these nice attentive ladies which we really enjoyed. The ryokan is more traditional which worked for us in the remote mountains. The view from the spacious lobby area was very pretty. ##### Vanessa Stayed 2 nights in Nov 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Dorthe 6 Aug 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Interesting stay The hosts are very kind and considerate and we had a nice stay in a traditional Japanese style room with very authentic Japanese meals for dinner and breakfast. The hotel is perhaps a little dated but it added to the charm and it is very clean. We didn’t get to try the outdoor onsen as we had hoped as we were put off but a large spider other guests alerted us to. Nevertheless we enjoyed our stay. ##### Dorthe Stayed 1 night in Jul 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Carlos 16 Feb 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Amazing location in the mountains.

Highly recommended! ##### Bryan Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Damon 31 Jul 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Lovely Owner/Manager! Off the beaten path, and probably best suited with a car (which we rented), but also accessible by bus/taxi. Owner/Manager was SUPER nice and helpful. Breakfast and dinner were unique and tasty, and reasonably priced. Very close to Kamikochi, and a few dining options nearby by car (and possibly an itzakaya across the street...if the owner is not napping 😆). 3 lovely private onsens on-site, too, plus 2 public for M and F. Nice alternative to western hotels with tatami mats and a lovely view of the mountains. ##### Damon Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kevin 26 Jul 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities We felt very taken care of. The property has not seen renovations since the early 70s, I suspect. It actually adds to the charm of the place. ##### Kevin Stayed 1 night in Jul 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Alan 17 Aug 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities The hotel is easy to get to from Matsumoto by bus on a very scenic ride. We were collected by the hotel manager from the bus stop. This is a very sleepy village, though we ate at two very good restaurants. The hotel has seen better days (not really a Ryokan). However two major highlghts: were their evening meal which was was brilliant, incredible course after course in a private dining room. Equally, the experience of sitting in their hot pool looking at the mountains was very memorable. Catching the bus down to Takayama was easy at the end of our stay. ##### Alan ### 10/10 Excellent #### Shawn 12 Apr 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities This was a delightful surprise. It is a 40-min bus or taxi ride up from Takamaya and is well worth the trip out and back. We stayed longer here than most other hotels. We will remember this one for its charm, the kindness and cooking skills of the owner and family, and the nearby ryokans that provide the best lunches, Cafe mokkamokka, and Ryoken Tonoyashi (sp ?)- the Sansui people will tell you which one. This dinner spot provided the most delicious simple and AMPLE dinners for much less than we spent elsewhere on our 3-week trip. Definitely, we'll come back. The walks into and around the mountains were breathtaking. We made sure to do a pre-lunch and pre-dinner walk up and down a short span of the main road. As a ryoken, the usual pajamas provided by hotels the Sansui provided were a full kimono and jacket suitable for men and women. We wore these to the one dinner we had at Sansui - private dining room, and it was a hoot. The food was amazing, and highly traditional consisting of about a dozen small plates and 4-5 larger plates. Great value for excellent and abundant servings. The mountains at the start of spring are beautiful. We picked a good time. This is a retro 60s ryoken. So know that as such it has everything, including a throwback to ski resorts of that era, but misses slightly on wifi only in the lobby. Still, we met other friendly travelers all cranking into wifi and telling stories. ##### Shawn Stayed 3 nights in Mar 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Tatsuhiko 4 May 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities 露天風呂に入れなかったのは残念でした。ご飯は美味しゅうございました。 ##### Tatsuhiko Stayed 1 night in May 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Min 28 Apr 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### 산스이최고 산스이에 두번째 방문입니다. 주인분들은 항상 친절했고 편안한 휴식을 취할 수 있게 해줍니다. 재방문 할겁니다 ##### Min Stayed 1 night in Apr 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### LI HUA 15 Apr 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort 服務人員很親切 床很好睡 很喜歡 ##### LI HUA Stayed 1 night in Apr 2025 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [La Vista Fuji Kawaguchiko](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kofu-Hotels-La-Vista-Fuji-Kawaguchiko.h15976788.Hotel-Information) > > [Ryokan Sakaya](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Nagano-Hotels-Ryokan-Sakaya.h11821616.Hotel-Information) > > [Wakakusa no Yado Maruei Ryokan](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kofu-Hotels-Wakakusa-No-Yado-Maruei-Ryokan.h6136631.Hotel-Information) > > [The Machiya Hotel Takayama](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Takayama-Hotels-THE-MACHIYA-HOTEL-TAKAYAMA.h68683751.Hotel-Information) > > [LiVEMAX AMMS CanNa Resort Villa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Okinawa-Hotels-LiVEMAX-AMMS-CanNa-Resort-Villa.h5133859.Hotel-Information) > > [The Terrace Club Wellness Thalasso At Busena](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Okinawa-Hotels-The-Terrace-Club-At-Busena.h5174538.Hotel-Information) > > [Asakusasannsou](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Uonuma-Hotels-Asakusasannsou.h94758363.Hotel-Information) > > [The Hiramatsu Hotels & Resorts Ginoza](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Okinawa-Hotels-THE-HIRAMATSU-HOTELS-RESORTS-GINOZA.h32897372.Hotel-Information) > > [Fufu Kawaguchiko](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kofu-Hotels-FUFU-KAWAGUCHIKO.h33760212.Hotel-Information) > > [OnnNakatsugawa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Nakatsugawa-Hotels-OnnNakatsugawa.h90858062.Hotel-Information) > > [Fuji Onsenji Yumedono](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kofu-Hotels-Fuji-Onsenji-Yumedono.h9635420.Hotel-Information) > > [Ohnoso](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Onjuku-Hotels-Ohnoso.h98506481.Hotel-Information) > > [Forest Villa Huis Ten Bosch](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sasebo-Hotels-Huis-Ten-Bosch-Forest-Villa.h11900097.Hotel-Information) > > [edit x seven FUJI GOTEMBA](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Gotemba-Hotels-FAV-LUX-FUJI-GOTEMBA.h112914944.Hotel-Information) > > [Futarishizuka Hakuun](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Takayama-Hotels-Futarishizuka-Hakuun.h5293655.Hotel-Information) > > [ANA InterContinental Beppu Resort & Spa by IHG](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Oita-Hotels-ANA-InterContinental-Beppu-Resort-Spa.h32854529.Hotel-Information) > > [Highland Resort Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kofu-Hotels-Highland-Resort-Hotel-Spa.h990130.Hotel-Information) > > [Sado Ryotsu Shiizaki Onsen](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sado-Hotels-SADO-RYOTSU-SHIIZAKI-ONSEN-SUNSETLAKE-THE-HOTEL-AOKIYA.h23365964.Hotel-Information) > > [Wakoshi Tobu Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Saitama-Hotels-Wakoshi-Tobu-Hotel.h40135307.Hotel-Information) > > [Fuji View Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kofu-Hotels-Fuji-View-Hotel.h2333483.Hotel-Information) > > [Ichinomatsu Japanese Modern Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Takayama-Hotels-Ryokan-Ichinomatsu.h38990518.Hotel-Information) > > [TOKYU STAY Hida-Takayama Musubi no Yu](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Takayama-Hotels-Tokyu-Stay-Hidatakyama-Musubinoyu.h39041581.Hotel-Information) > > [Fujisan Onsen Bessho SASA](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kofu-Hotels-Fujisan-Onsen-Bessho-SASA.h14626817.Hotel-Information) > > [HOTEL MYSTAYS Fuji Onsen Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kofu-Hotels-HOTEL-MYSTAYS-Fuji-Onsen-Resort.h16114229.Hotel-Information) > > [Rusutsu Resort Hotel & Convention](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Niseko-Hotels-Rusutsu-Resort-Hotel-Convention.h3948188.Hotel-Information) > > [koukasha](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Yamaguchi-Hotels-Koukasha.h103823869.Hotel-Information) > > [HOSHINOYA Okinawa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Okinawa-Hotels-HOSHINOYA-Okinawa.h40226148.Hotel-Information) > > [Glamday Style Hotel & Resort Okinawa Yomitan](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Okinawa-Hotels-GLAMDAY-STYLE-HOTELRESORT-OKINAWA-YOMITAN.h33352505.Hotel-Information) > > [Mozumo - Adults Only](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Takayama-Hotels-Mozumo-Adults-Only.h11966733.Hotel-Information) ---
