Excellent location just near the bus station. There’s a beautiful lake in front of the hotel we could see out the room window. Room was really spacious. A bath and toilet in the room and an onsen in the basement. The first two nights were really quiet but on Saturday night it was extremely busy. The breakfast was good and the dinner really good-lots of tasty dishes. There weren’t any other options in the area, but we were pleased with dinner. We were there mid October. Some leaves had changed colour. It’s a perfect base to explore hiking trails using the bus service. Staff were pleasant and helpful. I was sorry to leave.

Nothing was unpleasant

Perfect location just a few steps from the slopes. The room was very spacious with comfortable beds. Hot water with good pressure in the shower. Staff is very helpful and make you feel welcome.

The restaurant was open daily only for couple of hours for buffet dinner.

Amazing location right on the slopes so you can ski in and out. The amount of snow and how empty the slopes were made it an incredible experience.

Lack of information in English, but that’s understandable considering most guests weren’t English speaking.

The location was great. I found it to be a warm building with friendly helpful staff and decent breakfast. Nice Japanese style room. Properly heated with plenty of hot water and everything else functioning well.

There was nothing not to like about this place.

We liked the onsen for an experience in bathing and relaxation

Japanese breakfast was good and tasty especially the soups. However we would have liked more vegetables and fruit to help with our digestion

The breakfast was good. There was lots of food. The hotel is right next to the ski resort.

The dinner prices weren't listed and they turned out to be more than I expected. (2500 yen per person). It is an older hotel.
