Kurobe Unazukionsen Yamanoha

The Japanese style room we stayed in was remarkably large for Japan standards. Both the buffet breakfast and dinner were superb, in particular the evening meal with top quality sushi and fish. The hotel suffered a power outage on the day we arrived, but thankfully they set up a generator and everything returned to normal. To our surprise in compensation we were offered free drinks set for our two dinners. A very nice detail by the hotel management.

The onsen village itself and the scenic train highly overrated. I cant truly recommend either

A very well located and welcoming onsen hotel. The staff accommodated our requests for extra bedding and towels. And the well appointed reception area was comfortable and offered self help, coffee and other drinks. The onsen bathing was exceptional with inside and outside baths. There was an area for children to play, karaoke room and a relaxing lounge. The buffet dinner and breakfast offered a variety of Japanese and Western foods and drinks. It was of a most acceptable standard. The views of rivers and mountains were special, and the Torokko small train was a unique ride, as well as the walks over the bridges and in the tunnels. Lots of interest in the area. Overall, a most pleasant experience.

Nothing really

Location: Few minutes walk from Unazuki onsen station and Kurobe gorge railway station. Beautiful view from the lobby and rooms. Facilities: fantastic onsen. Breakfast and dinner are interesting and varied. Rooms: opted for Japanese style rooms with futon beds. Good ambience. Great views. Space is adequate for a family with small kids. Cleanliness: excellent. Bathrooms/Toilets: separate shower room and toilets.

Most small cafes and restaurants nearby have limited timings. An all-day restaurant or cafe in the hotel would have been great (especially when travelling with small kids).
