“Excellent small hotel with all amenities on site lovely public onsen”
Nice big rooms very comfortable and clean. The dinner package was great. The staff were very friendly. It’s only a 2-3 minute walk to clip your skis on and go down the hill.

“With breakfast and dinner included, it made our snow holiday easy ❤️ 100%”
Ideally located ski in ski out to ‘Heidi’s’ with several lifts spreading out to the mountain, including Lift No.1 to Madaro Kogen ski school etc… Staff were incredibly helpful with every request, the place was clean, warm, and quiet - perfect for our holiday (with 7yr old). Free shuttle bus up the hill to the main area was amazing too!

“Not a luxury ‘full service’ hotel, but great value for money.”
Good location for skiing, practically ski-in / ski-out. Very helpful staff, most had limited English but were very kind, especially Mr Noda, who is a real gentleman. The hotel is dated, but well kept. Public areas are a little cold, but the rooms were well-heated. Public bath was great after a day on the slopes and the private bath was a unique experience. Breakfast and dinner were the same everyday, but with a good selection of dishes to choose from. Hotel provided free pick up from and drop off at the bus stop.

Very friendly and helpful staff. Very clean. Great breakfasts with Japanese and western options. Hotel shuttle picked us up and dropped us back at the bus stop. They were also happy to drop us at our ski hire spot. The onsen was great a day skiing.

Food was great and restaurant staff very helpful. Private onsen was partly outdoors - sitting in 40c and looking out to the snow. Virtually ski in - ski out

Absolutely loved this place, room was an excellent size loads of room best size I've ever had in Japan. The outdoor onsen was breathtaking when it snowed and every thing you needed was right there. Only thing was its a bit of a trek up to the main area restaurants etc but the hotel staff dropped us up at a restaurant for dinner we just stroled back down after and got very drunk in the karaoke room lol
