This hotel is ideally located for those looking to visit or hike Mt. Apoi. It's an older, budget style hotel, with most rooms offering just toilets and no showers or baths. However, there are separate male and female onsens available on the ground floor.
The restaurant is good for dinner, but I strongly recommend skipping breakfast. For 1850 yen, you get a pre-made roll with egg on one side and ham on the other—it’s fine as a meal, but definitely overpriced!
The hotel is showing its age, and seems to be struggling financially. The walls between rooms are quite thin, so it's easy to hear your neighbors. On the bright side, the location is peaceful.
The staff are fantastic—extremely helpful and made every effort to communicate with us in English, and welcome patrons with a warm smile.
At Urakawa Yushun Village AERU, all people from young to old, couple to family can enjoy horseback riding, park golfing and trekking in the vast magnificent natural environment of Hidaka.
If you are not into hostels and you like to have a privacy, this is not a place for you. If you like to freely come and go, this is not a place for you. If you don't like to be told off by the receptionist because you misplaced your shoes, this is not a place for you. I specifically booked a room with private bathroom as advertised, yet all was there a shared toilet, a row of sinks for brushing teeth in a room without a door and the only possibility to have a shower was not even in the same building but in a public bathhouse. None of this information was available at the time of booking. One minute from this place there is a proper hotel with nice staff costing 20 dollars more.
