“Amazing Ryokan, feels and looks like a family run Ryokan”
Amazing place, even though the city feels like a ski town, i know that it is, it still has a lot to offer for “off-season” as well. Myoko region has amazing onsens and with the weather going from one extreme to another it is perfect for onsen hoping and then going for local ponds and waterfalls. Amazing and warm place to stay for all those activities. The owner of the place is very kind and the staff super helpful and friendly. They have an amazing bath as well.

“Rooms are dated but meals are good”
Seems this hotel.is family run, the host was nice and friendly and spoke some English. However the overall place is a dated , my family and I stayed at a room on the 3rd floor at the annex building which had no lift but still manageable. The windows looked out to a small road which there wild macque monkeys roaming around , it was a nice sight Meal wise was good both dinner and breakfast. Overall a pleasant stay .

“Lovely little ryokan and lovely onsen.”
The staff and shuttle runs were great, we loved sitting in the lobby post ski by the heater with a tea or beer. Our room was cosy and warm. The onsen was gorgeous- we loved the outside one sitting watching the snow fall.

“Great place to experience Japanese hospitality.”
We had a traditional room and loved the traditional mattresses (very comfortable) and the set up of the room. The meals were excellent, both in quality and value. The service was the best we’ve ever had. The shuttle to the ski field with a very friendly driver. Onsen was our favourite of the trip. Perfect temperature and views of the mountains.
