    The bed was a bit hard for my husband. One extra kayer on the top of bed would improve the confort. Two year old could not join the swimming pool. If they have children pool it would be better (for us): The restaurant which served pizza, pasta tool nealy 60 min. The rest of section was much quicker. It would be good to make shorter serving time,or inform in thebeginning how long it would take to serve.

    Very good place with small children. Many axtivities that both kids and parents can enjoy together.

    Our room was pretty tired, carpet very worn and wall paper had marks etc. I loved the “original” vibe but it did look a bit tired

    Right on the slopes, has a “Japan in the 80’s vibe”

    Maybe the interior of the room, in particular the sofa could be reupholstered so that stains and loose threads would not be too obvious.

    Wide range of healthy and delicious items for breakfasts from soups, porridge to noodles with many side dishes to accompany them. Very helpful staff who helped us with dinner reservations, general directions and booking of activities.

    A hotel that is a little above my pay grade ... a little expensive for my usual holiday tastes.

    A quality hotel with great facilities and services. Everything you require is immediately at hand within the hotel ... multiple restaurants to choose from and excellent breakfast service. And skiing available from the doorstep!

    The location is great because it's right next to the ski resort. All the buildings are connected, so you can easily walk from the plaza to the hotel in just 10 minutes. Plus, it's only a 10-minute walk to Shirakaba Onsen, so you won't have to wait for the shuttle bus. Overall, our stay was enjoyable!

    Hotels is definitely old, in fact, we had to change rooms because they were bedbugs in our first room. The staff literally came to our room to kill that one bedbug, and it did not occur to them that bedbug comes in droves, and a room change was necessary. Naturally, the infested room had more bugs and we had take videos to prove it. They asked us what can they do, as if it were not obvious that the room change was necessary We were not given a discount or complimentary anything upon the required room change. We were asked to bring the original key card down to the reception which we refused because we were still packing; they said they will send somebody upstairs to our new room, which never happened. Again, a reflection of junior staff being undertrained The next day I went down to the first hotel room, and it did not seem that the outsourced cleaning staff was aware of the bedbug issue, so my guess is the next guest will have the same issue as us. It is clear that many of the junior staff are probably trainees or still part time kids. Aside from this blemish, everything was actually very good so take this review as a more isolated case

    Very close to the ski resort, restaurants bars everything was inclusive, and very close. Staff was very nice and friendly and foreigner friendly

    Hotel is tired and the resort as a whole seems to be focused on cutting costs everywhere. Almost half the ski lifts are out of action, no night skiing and the piste machines are less active so the pistes are not as well groomed as they used to be

    Excellent buffet dinner. Staff are welcoming and attentive
