Offering a terrace and hot spring bath, Maruyama Onsen Kojyokan is situated in Minami Uonuma, 2 km from Maiko Snow Resort. Free private parking is available on site. Free WiFi is available throughout the property. Staff were very friendly and went out of their way to accommodate us in every aspect - picking us up and dropping us off at the train station, calling a taxi for us, etc. Also love that they have different pillow materials and varying degrees of softness/firmness for you to choose from (first come first serve), ensuring a good nights sleep.

Very nice Japanese style hotel with onsen. Location is very good near to the train station (literally just across a road) with a small slope uphill to the very nice hotel. Room overlooking the nice mountain and Yuzawa. The free boots for guess to use is really a godsend to venture in snow during winter
