Close to skii slopes.
Great location if you are planning on skiing.
Cosy little hotel, alittle tired, but clean.
Staff very hospitable, and pleasant,only to keen to try and help .Not a lot of English.
Service was great.They pick up and drop off as required, this made it much easier to get around.
Could rent skis from there, as well as pay for lift pass.
Could also purchase other day tours from there.
Breakfast was great.
Rug was grubby looking, this was the only place where we did not want to walk around barefoot and used slippers in the room. Really didn't like the fabric toilet seat cover. Onsen was small. Checkout at 9 am too early!

We had a great view of the ski slope and it was nice and close to slope so we could walk to it and ski down to ticket office. It was situated up the hill but we didnt mind walking into the village for dinner each night. It was only about 5-10 min walk. Rooms were adequate... bathrom small but thankful we had private one. Enough room to unpack suitcase and snowboard stuff. Drying room was nice and warm and plenty of space.

You have to contact the hotel to puck up coz its up the hill! But it’s very convenient for skiing as you can just ski down to the lift. Hotel staffs are helpful especially for the pickup-dropoff services! Very convenient!!!!!
