The room looked bit old but was spacious, clean and with private bathroom. The hotel is just 3min walk from the bus station. No breakfast available (which was actually fine with us). You can buy coffee for 100jpy at reception and buy some food from the convenience store just in front of the hotel. Otherwise, you can find a large coffee shop right next the bus station. Also, the large outdoor onsen was closed for maintenance at the time we stayed. Instead, we accessed the small one, which was lovely! The lady from reception adjusted the temperature for us, as it was too hot and the experience was really nice!

We stayed in January, which is a cold month (we reached -13C at night). It always felt bit chilly in the room, even with the heater on. Despite of this, it was okay at sleep time, as the duvets did keep us warm. This was the most expensive stay in my 3-week travel in Japan and I think that the value for the money isn't that good. However, it was one of the cheapest when compared to similar hotels in the same town.

very friendly staff. super clean. comfortable Japanese beds. great location. Would recommend for a basic stay.

the private outdoor onsen was never available and the private inside ones were very dated. For 700yen go to bathe in the beautiful outdoor public Hirayu Mori Onsen.

We had a fantastic 4 nights at Tabist Kazeyuki. Firstly, it is located in a beautiful and peaceful setting, in the lovely town of Hirayu Onsen. We had a huge room, with ample space for the two futons, a low table and chairs and a small coffee table with higher chairs. We booked the room with a private washroom and it was spacious and clean. The view from the main room was stunning and we loved eating breakfast (our own groceries) while looking at the mountains. While the hotel shows some wear and tear, keep in mind that it’s a historic area with older buildings. We loved the private onsens, open from 3:00pm until 9:00am the next morning. We never had to wait for one to be available. The hotel provides yukatas that are very soft and comfortable, and although bath towels are small, they change them daily on request. Beds were a bit firm, but we requested (and received) an extra futon for each bed. We also loved having access to laundry facilities, which were also readily available. While food was not served, we had a large fridge and Japanese hot pot in the room. Hirayu Onsen has several wonderful restaurants as well. Finally, the owners were both lovely, and while they couldn’t speak much English, they communicated through a translation app and were very kind and helpful. We would love to return someday, and stay at this hotel.

Nothing.

It was quite convenient to the bus station and the buses were more frequent than we thought. We stayed here after a day at Kamikochi. We then went to shinhotaka ropeway and returned to the bus station before continuing to Matsumoto. The rooms were large but the beds were not super comfy. We asked for extra futons and were given them grudgingly. They made all the difference. The outdoor onsen was lovely and the entry foyer was a welcoming place to sit. We had a nice view of the mountains from our room. The wifi was fine though there was very few power points.

The towels were very small. Otherwise the place was great.

I loved everything about this hotel. The staff were polite and helpful with any queries that I had, and the hotel itself had a very peaceful atmosphere. The private onsens were such a bonus (first come first served, there'll be a sign to indicate whether it's vacant or occupied, and they suggest you only spend 30 mins in there at a time so others aren't waiting long for you). There's a coin washer/dryer machine, plus they offer massages too. The room was huge for one person and had everything that I needed. It was clean and very thoughtfully decorated, with gorgeous mountain views. I couldn't recommend this hotel enough!

Hotel is near the bus station very convenient, has private onsen so can relax with your own group without worrying or being embrassed with other guests

Wifi is lacking, when we came cannot connect to the wifi, the staff have to reset the wifi first. During our stay we also want to connect our other device to the wifi but cannot join. Also, they don’t provide slippers, this stay is the type that you have to open your shoes before entering the lobby, but usually for this type is of stay they will provide slippers ans this stay doesn’t provide, so we ended up having to walking aroung barefooted.

We had the pleasure of staying at Tabist Kazeyuki in Hirayu Onsen, and it was a truly memorable experience. The room was spacious, with a cozy Japanese tatami style that added an authentic touch to my stay. It was incredibly comfortable and peaceful, offering the perfect retreat after a day of exploring the area. One of the highlights was the private onsen, both indoor and outdoor, a wonderful way to relax and soak in the natural hot spring water in the comfort of your own room. The ambiance was serene, and the warm, rejuvenating baths made it feel like a personal spa experience. The staff were welcoming and helpful, and the atmosphere of the hotel was very traditional in the heart of Hirayu Onsen, is ideal for those seeking tranquility and a taste of Japanese hospitality. We highly recommend Tabist Kazeyuki for anyone looking for a cozy and rejuvenating stay with an authentic private onsen experience.

Our room was very large, with lots of space, the floor was lined with tatami mats and futon beds. The toilet and bathroom were separated so that was very convenient. They have 3 private onsen, both indoors and outdoors. When you use it , you lock the door so no one else can use it. The town is very small so it was very easy to walk around. The bus terminus is only less than a 10 minute walk away. Two of the staff speak excellent Mandarin. One of them recommended a day trip to Mt Norikura, which was an excellent suggestion, and we had a great day out.

The indoor onsen appeared rather old and grimy. Many of the eateries close by 6 to 7 pm. There were apparently only two supermarkets in the whole town.

Excellent and relaxing hotel, with spacious traditional Japanese rooms featuring tatami floors, dinner and coffee table. Great views of the snowy mountains. Both outdoor and indoor private onsen available. Excellent location, just 200m from Hirayu bus stop to Kamikochi. Free parking. Breakfast and dinner options available at the hotel right opposite, although there are also a couple of decent restaurants around.

Some free coffee at the room would be nice, instead of just tea. There was only an espresso machine at the lobby, and at extra charge. There is no real convenience store in the village, just two souvenir shops closing early, so best manage your supplies before arriving.

The shared onsen bathroom that you can use as private onsen. My wife and I are too shy to go to a public onsen. Here, we can reserve the bathroom for about half an hour for ourselves and experience a true onsen bath in private and we felt great after a good soak. The place also has a lift so we do not have to carry our luggage up any stairs. The home owners speak chinese while the staff speak english.

We fed back to the owner that our attempts at contacting them failed as they were too busy running the place that they did not notice our messages. They promised to reply (even with very short messages in future)
