    A beautiful traditional accomodation close to the ski lifts. Staff were very polite and went above and beyond by setting up futons upon special request as we were very excited to use them, and also helped us to microwave our convenience store food.

    Fabulous accomodation and meals package. Very traditional hotel experience which was great for an Australian family on short ski trip. 10 minute walk to main lifts. Having an outdoor onsen in the snow was a highlight. Meals were amazing....
