We did the half board option and the food and service was excellent. It was great for experiencing Japanese cuisine and culture. Staff very friendly and helpful. Close to the station and the bus to see the snow monkey park.

We stayed two nights at Hotel Tsubakino during our honeymoon. The hotel was clean and inviting, the staff were immediately welcoming, taking us into the lounge to welcome us and get us checked in, offering us complimentary drinks. The room was large, clean, well appointed and included is own hot spring fed bath. Each breakfast and dinner was served in a private dining room with multiple courses of incredible food. Hotel Tsubakino was easily the best stay of our trip.

Great Hotel!

This was the best hotel I've stayed in over 4 trips to Japan. The staff are friendly and helpful and professional. The rooms are clean and comfortable. It's perfectly located for touring the Yamanouchi area. There are lots of cafes and restaurants locally that you will not see obviously/ but they are there and they are great! The onsen style baths in the hotel are amazing. Will definitely go back.
