“Convenient location for skiing, overall pleasant stay”
14 Feb 2025
The breakfast was pretty good. Lots of variety. Beds were comfy. Showers were hot. May was exceptionally accomodating and friendly. Some other staff were very non plussed and not very helpful. Initial impression wasn’t great but overall a pleasant stay and very handy to the ski slopes. Dinner in the restaurant was lovely and good value.

“Good western hotel in an awesome Japanese ski resort!”
06 Feb 2025
Amazing staff and good facilities. The beds were super comfortable. Breakfast was a western style buffet, and was free! Good vegetarian choices for both breakfast and dinner at the hotel (and in general around the resort). Also amazing views whilst eating breakfast. Onsen hot bath is more like a spa, unisex and you wear swimmers.

“Good”
25 Jan 2025
Close to the slopes and places to eat as well as bus stop. Staff are friendly and accommodating. Really appreciate the drive up to the bus stop, albeit short, when you have kids and multiple bags, it helped tremendously.

“Nice place to stay for ski/snowbaording”
12 Dec 2024
Cost and casual place to stay for a ski/snowboard trip. Very friendly staff and the location for the hotel is very good. I was on the slopes after a 5 min walk.
