This property was as traditional as it gets. Two Onsens to bath in. Each have separate times for men and women. Provide multicourse dinner that was as traditional as you can get. The breakfast was multiple items and also a classic meal. Very good. Room didn’t have a view but it had traditional tea set up along with kimonos to wear and traditional bedding. We were there only one night so it wasn’t a big deal to not have a view. Staff was very kind and tried to be of help. We got a shuttle ride up to the base of the Monkey territory. That was helpful. Specific staff speak better English than others.

The service is exceptional. I just can’t say enough how much they go out of their way to make you feel welcome and appreciated. The included meals are excellent for those with an adventurous spirit…truly fantastic. Also, be prepared for several courses at dinner. I left every meal quite content. I will return and highly recommend to others.

An excellent Ryokan experience. Wonderful traditional food and easy access to the Snow Monkeys. They serve traditional fixed menu breakfast and dinner at designated times. The onsen is open 24 hours. The staff is amazingly friendly and helpful.

We really enjoyed staying at this ryokan. The food and services were outstanding. The onsen was open 24 hours so we enjoyed hot spring at odd hours (due to the jetlag). The Snow Monkey Park is nearby and the hotel offers a free shuttle to the base of the mountain. We would definitely come back.

Wafu No Yado MASUYA was absolutely amazing! Our first impressions were of lovely staff who were welcoming and very efficient with check in and helping us to our room. She even carried our bags even though we offered to lug them to our room ourselves! The room was well appointed, with our own hot spring tub. The heating had already been turned on for us and we were treated to a welcome of traditional Japanese sweets and hot green tea. The ryokan provides yukatas, socks and traditional slippers for wear around the room, the main guest areas and the restaurants. All amenities like toiletries were provided, even razors and hairbrushes! Of course, if you splurge on half board - then you are in for a treat! We enjoyed an 8 course dinner and a similar breakfast, all served in our own dining room with our own waiter. The food was exquisite, service impeccable and the experience outstanding. We absolutely enjoyed our experience and cannot recommend Masuya enough! Treat yourselves!
