Right by the bus station and an eighteen-minute drive from the Shinhotaka ropeway, Ryokan Kutsuroginoya Yuu pairs spacious rooms — some with private outdoor rotenburo — with baths so often empty they feel private. Kaiseki dinners and breakfasts feature Hida beef and hoba miso in portions guests cannot finish. The place can be hard to find, driving helps, and one in-room onsen ran too hot.
