Maruka Ryokan

Different for an American

The experience was very different for this American. Though we live in Okinawa, we have never experienced the bedding, breakfast, bath or hospitality of any place we've stayed. We knew all of this going into it by the way. Bedding is on the ground, but you have some padding under you. The pillow is filled with something (everyone says rice so I'll say rice). It was in the 20s outside when we stayed, yet the blanket and heater kept us comfortable all night. I used part of my blanket to help cushion my pillow. We slept thru the night after a day of travel, and woke up rested. The breakfast was a lot of food and very food. Asian food is not a favorite of mine, but this was great. It kept us satisfied for many hours. The hospitality is second to none. You'd never find such hospitality in a chain hotel. They were very kind and drove us anywhere we needed.

Good corner ryokan near snow monkey park

The guest house was beautiful, run by an old couple who does not speak English. The room was very big and the guest house right beside an onsen and near to the train station. The shuttle service to and from the snow monkey park and the train station made it a hassle-free experience! However, the shower head was weak and the guest house seems a little old.

A fabulous old ryokan with the best hosts ever. Everything is traditional Japan. If you're looking for modern, this is the wrong place. It is authenic. On site private onsen was a bonus (and there is no other shower). We got picked up and dropped off from the train station and monkey park as part of the service by the super frei dly staff. Highly recomend.

If you’re just going for 1 night to see the snow monkeys, this is a perfect ryokan. It was a very reasonable price, and included transportation to and from the hotel and to and from the snow monkey park, which saved so much fuss and planning! The actual hotel, well, it’s a bit old and a lot rustic. Shared bathrooms, and the onsen could use a scrub ( maybe you just don’t do that? What do I know). Great value, incredibly sweet hosts.

Authentic stay with wonderful hosts

We came here to experience the Onsen town and the famous monkey park. Our hosts were fantastic and could not have been more helpful. They collected us from the train station and dropped us to and from the monkey park. The friendliness and warmth of the staff of the ryokan made the stay that little bit more special. The building itself is older but feels very authentic as a result and the presence of a private onsen was great at the end of a long day. Would reccomend staying here to anyone looking for a stay with genuinely lovely people in a wonderful setting. Only regret is that we only stayed the one night and didn't avail of the breakfast.

Quintessential Japanese Hospitality

The owners are so nice!!! Sometimes you can forget how much difference it makes to be greeted and welcomed into what is essentially a home instead of a hotel. From the moment you arrive you will be met with the biggest smiles and kindest hearts. I travel ALOT! And have met some great people and owners, and still this one surprised me. We came to the area to go to the monkey forest and to top it all off - they will literally offer to drive you there which was so nice of them! This was my first Ryokan. With all the options you have when booking I highly suggest giving this one a try versus another boring hotel you can book anywhere. It exemplifies quintessential Japanese hospitality!

Lovely Ryokan in the Alps run by a lovely family, with their own Onsens.

Delightful ryokan near Jigokudani

Maruka Ryokan is a charming traditional inn whose owners are incredibly nice and hospitable. Not only did they pick up from the train station and drive us part of the way to the monkey park, they even cleaned our muddy shoes after our hike there. We didn’t ask for any of these services, it’s just the way they treat their guests. The dinner and breakfasts we had here were among the highlights of our trip. It should be noted that the building is 100 years old and shows its age in areas.
