    The location in Hakuba was good and close to the mountains we were traveling to. They have good onsen outdoor/indoor with a sauna, rather small in size, nothing special.

    The staff knew zero English. There were absolutely no food facilities available. Even though our booking said we could have pay-for breakfast at the facility, they said it wasn’t available. Also no dinner available even for pay. We drove around the city for an hour looking for an open place to eat. All the places listed on Yelp and Google maps as open were not. It was a ghost town and staff was completely not helpful and not considerate of that.

    Thank you very much for choosing to stay with us and for taking the time to share your valuable feedback. We sincerely apologize that we were unable to meet your expectations in several aspects during your stay and for any inconvenience this may have caused. Regarding dinner service, due to the procurement and preparation process, we operate on a “reservation-in-advance” system. However, we deeply regret that our explanation was insufficient and may have led to misunderstanding. Concerning language support, we will continue to enhance staff training so that our international guests may also feel comfortable and at ease throughout their stay. Hakuba Village, while blessed with rich natural surroundings, has limited dining options depending on the season or day of the week. We will therefore strive to provide more accurate and helpful information on nearby restaurants for our guests going forward. We take your comments to heart and will use them to further improve our services. Thank you once again for staying with us. KAYANO

    Lovely new rooms and fit out with a great vibe. The onsen and on site restaurant were fantastic. Extremely friendly and helpful staff. Close to quieter slopes which we loved. Has a nice store and cafe a 2 min walk away.

    It’s in a quieter part of Hakuba but it was fairly easy to get around via uber/taxis

    It’s a great onsen. Rooms are good but deeply overpriced

    For over $A2000 per night, this was an absolute rip-off. It’sa very nice place, but they did not clean our room once during the week. How absurd! Location was far from ideal.

    Super nice staff and very very nice onsen that you can use for free. We even came back to use the onsen when we stayed in a different hotel. A bit outside, so you need a car but very quiet and nice area. Rooms are simple but definitely enough. I would always come back again, mostly for the nice staff and onsen. Room was a bit too pricey for what it was,

    Horio-san and staff were exceptional- nothing was a problem during our stay - On check out they offered a lift to Escal Plaza when a large maxi taxi wasn’t available - the combined staff helped us pack and waved farewell like a family departure. You will be well looked after. Warm rooms - comfortable beds…After a day’s skiing settle into what is regarded as the BEST onsen in the district. Very good restaurant serves Barbecue and Shabu Shabu - Wide choice for breakfast - very very short 40 metre walk to shuttle bus stop to skifields - Very close to local shops and two other restaurants (Ramen) Ryujin are currently adding a new accommodation wing with a number of new luxury private onsen rooms. Its intimate - private - not crowded. You get very personal service. I plan on returning in future.

    perhaps the only issue for some people is the location requires catching the shuttle buses to Goryu slopes - Ryujin is close (takes maybe 3/4 minutes drive to reach Escal Plaza) - Buses come 30min and hourly intervals - but dont miss the last bus back from slopes at 5:30pm. In any case taxis are usually easy to call.

    The on-site onsen was awesome and we enjoyed the breakfast at the hotel. The rooms had a lot of space and everyone was super friendly here.

    It would be tough to get around without a car here. Most of the bars/restaurants were a bit away from the hotel. If you can't sleep on a firm mattress I definitely wouldn't recommend staying here.

    The Onsen being on site was a very nice touch for relaxation. It has a lovely outdoor portion and with the snow on the ground, it is hard to beat. The staff were also very friendly and helped us make multiple reservations including dinner and a taxi to depart.

    The location was mediocre if you want to go skiing or snowboarding. You can either walk 20-25 minutes uphill to Goryu resort or you can take two separate busses that don’t seem to have a regular timetable. Also, there is not much evening dining in close (less than 15 minutes) walking distance.
