Kitayuzawa Onsen Town Guesthouse Yamada

This traditional style ryokan was the perfect mountain stop on the way from Otaru to Noboribetsu. The hosts were very welcoming. They didn't speak any english but they took the time to communicate via transaltion app everything we might have wanted to know. There are 2 public onsens in the area, one walking distance from the guesthouse, and the other a 5 minute drive away. Our hosts provided us with all the essential bath supplies to enjoy the onsen. They also provided us with a nutritious breakfast (vegetarian as well) which was well needed for the activities we had planned in the area. The only thing I would say to be aware of is the check in and check out times. They worked for us but they are more restrictive than most.
