“Great place to stay to ski Seki Onsen”

“I’ll be back in the future”
+Everything is brilliant, great people to communicate with and breakfast is essential for booking from my experience. The environment is cute to be in, proper Japanese fashioned accommodation and also respectful of privacy ( I spent 15 days here from New Zealand ). The onsen spa is a golden experience. Getting stuck in and understanding the family environment is great fun too, always up for conversations.
−It’s not necessarily negative, it’s more things to note. If you have a car you’re okay, other ski fields are up to 30 minutes drive but Seki ski field is wicked regardless. If no car like myself the bus system is what it is, $9 return trip to town for supplies (dry foods, fruits, sandwiches was my go forward for lunch/ dinner) and definitely grab $300 + cash for snowed in days for on hill food & ski tickets over winter. You will have a lot of time if snowed in so prepare accordingly.

“We truly enjoyed our visit and look forward to returning soon.”
+Tomiya Ryokan was a true authentic Japanese Ryokan, run by the most kind, warm-hearted family. Jintaro and Yukiye (sp?) prepared us the most amazing dinner (message them ahead for a dinner reservation). Their father, Hideo greeted us warmly. Their location is set right across from the Seki Onsen ski lift and the local community bus took us from the Sekiyama train station to a stop right in front of their ryokan. Their onsen is iron-rich, with fine red particulates and was perfect for evening, near full-moon soaking, but even better with the morning sunrise.
−We loved it all! Facilities are a little dated, but comfortable and clean.

“Genuine, family-run ryokan a stones throw from seki onsen ski fields, lovely hosts, great food, would recommend.”
+We loved staying at Tomiya Ryokan. The management were very kind friendly and welcoming, and happy to help in any way they could. The food was excellent, and we had some delicious dinners there - make sure to order ahead. The onsen was perfect, perfect temperature with wonderful relaxing views after a big day on the ski slopes. Communication both before our arrival and whilst we were there was good.
−Nothing, it was all good.

“amazing ryokan, superb mountain view iron rich onsen, come in winter though! and with a car”
+amazing onsen. me and my partner came in the off season (may) and we had a wonderful experience, however it is more of a place for a day trip in the off season. we dont have a car and so we booked 2 nights. you can take the sekiyama bus it runs till 6pm. great place that i wish we came to in the winter! however it was nice because it was very private, only myself and my partner were staying. the english of the innmaster is pretty good but needed to use my japanese and some translating to aid! the onsen was beautifully iron rich. with a view of the mountains!
−nothing wrong with the ryokan, but the area has little to eat in the summer, especially at night. we thought there was a meal plan but there isnt and so we had some trouble finding food. very rural.
