白布温泉 東屋(Shirabu Onsen Higashiya)

Traditional style historical onsen in a scenic rural location. The room was very nice (Japanese style) - spacious and nice amenities. We booked one room for three people and another for two people. Both rooms had their own toilet and the larger room also had its own bathroom with bath and shower. There are shared onsen baths both indoor and outdoor (separate for men and women) plus two private baths you can use whenever you want. The water was particularly hot! You can choose from various meal plans for dinner including the renowned beef from nearby Yonezawa. We had shabu shabu and sukiyaki and both were excellent. We paid ¥22,000 per person for one night including beef dinner and breakfast. I would definitely go there again.

Three rooms for 5 people in early November. Smallish, family-run onsen in a lovely setting with hikes to base off ski run and waterfalls very close by. Very friendly family running the place and very good breakfasts and dinners. Would happily visit again. Reservations are, of course, a must.
