Great stay and this wonderful cosy inn. Has a wonderful relaxed retro feel. My family of four loved it. The food is incredible, definitely get the dinner!
Absolutely incredible stay at this authentic ryokan. The staff could not have been more helpful. They had several lovely onsen - some public and some private, the private ones didn’t need to be booked and we were able to use one without issue.
The food was absolutely amazing - we booked half board and for dinner we were taken to our own room and brought an incredible array of Japanese foods and breakfast was a similar affair. If you are looking for a more local Japanese experience this is the perfect place!
Excellent service, very welcoming. The meals were very tasty and filling. Loved the traditional Japanese breakfast. This is the place to fully relax if you want to get away from the city.
A perfect stay for our family after hiking at Kamikochi. The staff were extremely helpful both beforehand (prompt and detailed messages regarding how to reach there, our dietary needs, etc.) and during our stay. We are vegetarian and they went above and beyond in making our meals special. I honestly don’t even know how to describe how delicious and carefully prepared and served both the dinner and breakfast were. The location is stunning and the Onsen was wonderful. A stay we will never forget!
One of our highlights during the time we spent in Japan. This is a cozy traditional Ryokan. The building is a little older, however that only adds to the charm. Staff were kind, helpful and welcoming. They also offer great dining experiences, where we enjoyed the BEST dinner of our entire trip. Additionally, the private onsen areas were sublime. Views and location is also stunning.
Super happy we decided to spend two nights here and strongly recommend!
Amazing spot. The ryokan is run by a very kind family. The room was very spacious and comfortable, and the mountain views from there were impressive. Also, the dinner was unforgettable and delicious. We wish we could have stayed a bit longer to enjoy the beautiful area.
We enjoyed our stay in Ryokan Sansui. The view from our room is breath taking and the private bath is so relaxing. I also tried their public onsen and it was complete with amenities. Both me and my partner felt so pampered. The dinner and breakfast provided are delicious. The staff are very friendly and welcoming.
The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, which made us feel the ultimate Japanese hospitality. We had dinner alone in a room and then breakfast alone in another room. Though there are other guests, we really felt we had the hotel facility including onsen for our own. The guests can also use private onsen room for free without reservations. The mountain View from the outdoor onsen was really beautiful. The location of the hotel, Fukuji onsen, is really quiet. It’s also quite central if you plan to visit all 5 onsen towns of Okuhida Onsengo.
The staff was so hospitable and made us feel welcome and comfortable. The food was the best we ate in Japan, and cooked with love. The outdoor onsen was heavenly. A visit I will never forget.
We had a wonderful stay at Ryokan Sansui. The hospitality was truly exceptional—warm, attentive, and genuinely welcoming throughout our visit. We especially loved the traditional atmosphere of the ryokan, which made the experience feel very authentic and relaxing.
The onsen was a highlight of our stay—peaceful, clean, and a perfect way to unwind after a day of travel. Everything felt thoughtfully maintained, and the overall ambiance was calm and serene.
This was a memorable experience, and we would definitely recommend it to anyone looking to enjoy a traditional Japanese stay. Thank you to the team for making our visit so special—we would love to return again
Lovely rooms and in-site onsen (both public and private). Great quiet location; convenient to get to and from.
Has a lovely dinner and an Izakaya nearby.
The host family is extremely kind and friendly. They prepared delicious meals in accordance with our dietary preferences. It was a pleasant, restful place to stay while we explored the beauties of the Kamikochi region. We greatly enjoyed our stay!
I went to this hotel twice. The first time was last year and the second time this year
One of the best in the area
The staff are friendly and kind. I really enjoyed my accommodation here
The hosts and staff made this a particularly pleasant and unique stay. They were very attentive and helpful.
A delicious Traditional Japanese Dinner and breakfast were served to us in a private room.
There are public and private bathhouse options- all of which were very clean, comfortable, and relaxing!
Staff was very helpful in planning my trips each morning, asking where I was planning to go and then helping me find the right bus to take. The night of my arrival as I walked pass the ryokan they called out to me so I would not remain lost.

Nice location and beautiful surroundings. Ryokan has definitely seen better days and is need of refurbishing. Still staff is friendly and helpful. Meal is traditional so may not be for everyone. The onsens also look dated and can be brighter.
We loved our stay at Ryokan Sansui. The view of the mountains around the hotel were amazing with tri-colored foliage.
The staff were also very lovely and kind. The food was also delicious and more than I had expected. Communication wasn't too easy, but the message would get across.
The best part was, of course, the onsen (hot spring) experience. They offer both public (gender-separated) hot springs and baths, as well as 4 private ones that don't need prior booking or extra fees.
Getting there and back took a lot of time though, so our 1-day trip seemed a bit too short.
The service and attention to details were top notch. The owner/manager was very helpful and with his help we were able to go to Kamikochi by public transportation even though it was closed. We really wanted to do this so his help was much appreciated. We did not have breakfast but the dinner was very good and served by these nice attentive ladies which we really enjoyed. The ryokan is more traditional which worked for us in the remote mountains. The view from the spacious lobby area was very pretty.
We had a wonderful 4-day, 3-night stay at Ryokan Sansui and truly enjoyed every moment. The ryokan has a very traditional Japanese atmosphere—an old wooden building full of character, beautifully maintained, clean, and well cared for. It feels authentic and calming, exactly what you hope for in a classic ryokan.
After skiing during the day, the indoor and outdoor onsen were incredibly relaxing. Soaking in the hot spring in the cold winter air was one of the highlights of our trip and the perfect way to unwind each evening.
The ryokan is also very kid-friendly, which we really appreciated while traveling with our toddler. All the staff were exceptionally kind, patient, and welcoming, and they went out of their way to make our child feel comfortable. That warmth made a big difference for us as a family.
We stayed on a half-board plan, and both breakfast and dinner were excellent, with a wide variety of beautifully prepared dishes. Over the course of our stay, we enjoyed Hida beef in different styles, including shabu-shabu, sukiyaki, and nikuyaki—each one delicious and thoughtfully presented.
Overall, Ryokan Sansui offers a perfect blend of traditional charm, comfort, great food, and heartfelt hospitality. It’s an ideal place to relax, especially after outdoor activities, and we would happily return again.
