“Hotel Futaba strikes me as a well-considered choice near Echigo Yuzawa Station, especially notable for its multiple onsen across different floors, plus family-friendly perks like ski storage and even craft workshops. The spacious rooms deliver mountain views, and both buffet breakfasts and Kaiseki dinners impressed; it's clear the hotel emphasizes both relaxation and local experiences, creating a balanced stay in snow country.”
