We love the meals, services, big rooms and the strategic location to Zao Sky Cable. It is quite a walk to Sanroku Ropeway but the hotel offers pick up and drop off service whenever you want, which is a total plus. Breakfast and Dinner are just marvelous. The facilities are quite old but it is clean and very traditional Japanese. The Onsen is the best in town and it's open 24 hrs.... Overall, we love it and definitely will go back.

The only thing that I didn't like is some of the amenities in the room, such as no hot water thermos, very old fridge and no drinking water is available.

Spacious room and beautiful view. The staff were very kind and welcoming. The food was delicious.

The building is a bit old but that wasn't a problem. The room was very comfortable.

Wonderful stay. Beautiful Japanese-style room with a lovely covered balcony area with great views over the town. Exquisite food. Very helpful staff. Room was warm and well-equipped and the hot spring baths are open 24-hours so were never too busy. The hotel is a short walk from the centre of town, ropeway etc but this meant that it has great views over the town and to the mountains beyond. Shuttle to the bus station available.

The staff was super nice, they provided us with all necessary transportation, they were super supportive, and the whole atmosphere was great. Also, the food was very delicious!! And we had a great view from our room :)

The room was not super clean, so we cleaned what we could, but staff should definitely clean rooms more properly (including floor and walls).
