Nestled in the heart of the peaceful mountains of Otari, Yamakyuso combines tradition and serenity. This ryokan in Otari welcomes its guests in a warm setting, where every detail, from the tatami floors to the soft light of the lamps, invites contemplation. The adjoining garden, a true haven of peace, lends itself to moments of introspection, while facilities such as the public bath encourage deep relaxation. For activity enthusiasts, ski-in/ski-out access and the ski storage room facilitate a perfect harmony between adventure and rest.

Whether it’s the traditionally styled Japanese rooms with futons or the more modern double rooms, every space at Yamakyuso offers a cocoon of comfort. Spacious and bathed in natural light, they invite you to suspend time and reconnect to the essentials. Natural materials and soothing tones create an atmosphere conducive to restorative sleep, vital to fully enjoy the surrounding charms.

Culinary delights play an essential role in the experience offered by this ryokan. Served each morning, the à la carte breakfast awakens the senses with delicate flavors, while the on-site restaurant offers inspired Asian cuisine, blending tradition and finesse. Nearby, various restaurants, such as those around Tsugaike Kogen, allow visitors to vary their gastronomic pleasures, further enriching this immersion in the soul of rural Japan.


Evaluation of Japanese Authenticity

6/10 Neither too modern nor perfectly traditional, this ryokan combines Japanese elements and contemporary touches. The rooms offer tatami and futons, but lack total immersion. The cuisine seems refined without reaching the excellence of kaiseki. The baths, although present, lack exceptional character. The atmosphere remains warm and welcoming.
