The hospitality of the staff was outstanding—friendly and welcoming. The famous Japanese soba served for lunch and dinner at Ringoya was delicious and exceeded my expectations. The kitchen, dining, and lounge area for in-house guests was cozy and comfortable. The location is excellent, especially due to its proximity to the Hakuba bus terminal, other shops, and restaurants.

While the kitchen, dining, and lounge area was sufficient during my stay, I felt that it could be expanded to accommodate more guests during peak times. However, I personally had no issues during my stay and enjoyed meeting with other guests from various countries.

Very friendly staff, they were kind enough to refund a night of stay when our flight got delayed by a day and were happy for us to leave our bags with them before check-in time so we could hit the Happo-One slopes after arriving and also let us leave our bags after checkout till the afternoon. Everything was clean and tidy. Drying room in the basement for boots and gloves, etc.

My boots didn't fully dry in the drying room, but my brothers did, so maybe mine just take more to dry.

Lovely room, very comfortable. Staff were very friendly and helping. There's a brand new common area for cooking and eating, a nice 'onsen' which is great to relax after a day of snowboarding, and a basement room for rentals.

I wish the room had a small table lamp for extra comfort, as it only had a ceiling lamp. But that's it.

The traditional Japanese breakfast was healthy and enjoyable.

Somebody should have warned me that Hakuba has become another Bali but with snow. There are far too many white bread Australian people there.Some of them are not well behaved. It didn’t feel like I was in Japan! It was not what I want out the travel experience when I travel abroad to a different culture and country.

The owner was warm and welcoming from the beginning. I was her only guest during a particularly slow week, and she took the time to sit and eat dinner (which was delicious, homemade, and plentiful) with me. The facilities were clean, the toilet seats were heated, and the tatami was in great condition. I felt at home during the entire stay, and wished I could have booked another week!

I found that the slippers provided were a bit too small for my feet.

I can't express how much I love my stay at Ringoya. Everything there is great and I get to experience the full tatami stay and the hosts are very friendly and helpful, I will definitely book again for my next snowboarding trip

Nothing at all

I love the coziness of staying in a ryokan (: Host is a nice elderly Japanese lady who is conversational in basic English. She had been helpful and offering things like a free cookies that made my day. Had a pleasant stay and will stay here again if I ever come to Hakuba.

Imagine you had Japanese grandparents that have a really big house I a skiing town. That's how staying a Ringoya felt to me. Wonderful Japanese inn with Tatami rooms and a public bath. Even a games room with table tennis and board games. I regret not booking breakfast because it looked delicious.

The host is extremely helpful and friendly!! The location is close to Happo One, as well as the shuttle bus stop, which gives you an easy access to 47 & Goryu. Facilities are clean and well-maintained. Highly recommended!

Kind staff Clean room Equip both private and public bathroom Chill common area WiFi among the whole place Laundry free in a solo room Wonderful dinner you should definitely give it a try
