I am still without words. This is the perfect place with private onsen options. Great common places, super kind staff and all with the amazing nature around in Norikura Kogen. If you love nature oriented places with perfect Japan style, don't look forward. Most people come by car, we came by bus from Kamikochi and it gives to the experience. It's so nice we definitely will come back.

“Beautiful self sufficient guesthouse”
The guesthouse is very clean and well organized to be as self sufficient as possible. You can even get food for dinners from their little shop counter. The bedroom was comfortable and also very clean. The private onsen and their reservations system is beyond excellent and very enjoyable. The best onsen of your trip so far. The staff is very kind and accommodating.

“The most expensive dorm I've been too”
The house is nice. The (outdoor) onsen as well. And from the accommodation you have beautiful walking trails.

“Beautiful, calm, cosy”
The best guest house I’ve ever stayed in. Everything was so well thought out and homely. The private outside onsen was literal magic and the bagels at breakfast were tasty. The surrounding area was beautiful to explore - I wish I could have stayed longer!

The Outdoor onsen was amazing, and the fact that they were working on doing things in an ethical way, supporting a circular economy and local people!!

Absolutely stunning place. The scenery is breath taking and the hotel was warm and cosy with such a relaxed atmosphere. The lounge with log fire and outdoor onsen were a treat. The beds were so comfy. Highly recommend!

“Amazing.”
The staff are friendly and helpful. We got stuck with our bus booking and they offered to help and even send us to the bus stop so we don’t have to walk on the slippery snow

Like that there's a kettle and humidifier in the room. Comfy bed and ample space. And a nice surprise that each room can reserve onsen for a specific timeslot. Had a great stay!

Beautiful place, very remote (especially in Winter), the onsen and the hiking tours are amazing. The room and common room are super comfy. The staff goes above and beyond to assist with everything.
