I rarely write reviews, but when something is really out of the ordinary, I do. THE STAFF WAS REALLY HELPFUL. They are quick to respond when you want help. They also speak very good English.

Beds could be firmer, but I could live with it.

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. Facilities were clean and well thought out. Meals were really of high quality / restaurant worthy. Staff were attentive, helpful, responsive and friendly.

Outstanding location, particularly good if using taqubin for ski gear. Staff friendly and very helpful. Breakfast is excellent with a huge variety. Try to do the first tracks which allows you skiing before the mountain opens.

It's a bit old (which adds to its charm) and maybe the pipe design are old too. So especially on the first day I felt like the clothes that I hang inside the room smells like food which they were cooking downstairs. Aside from this everything was fine!

The location - the lift no. 12 is just in front of the property which makes it real ski in, ski out. Super cool! The food - I stayed for 7 nights and got the half board option which tastes good. Breakfast has the staple eggs, ham and sausages and a decent variety of other main which changes every day. There's also a drink bar with soup, coffee, tea and sofas which was accessible anytime of the day. Dinner also tastes really good and didnt repeat the whole I was there. Kudos to the staffs! Speaking of the staffs, they were really helpful and made sure my stay was great. My snowboard arrived a bit later and the lady in the reception kindly offered to follow it up with Yamato. The staffs in the inn made me feel very comfortable in the whole 7 nights that I was there. The atmosphere - it's classic wooden lodge in the mountains - rustic and charming. Value for money! Every cent spent here is totally worth it! For the location, food, atmosphere and staff everything is worth it.

Driving to this place was quite a challenge with the ultra narrow paths.

One of the best retreat from the middle of Japan’s city life. Lots of people brought their pets and families as well. The place was quite cozy with the nice lodging like interior.

The route is narrow on some part, and no light at all which might be a bit troublesome.

The 2nd floor balcony was really nice in the morning, even in July it’s just around 19°C which is very comfortable and also dogs are allowed.

Just a heads up for my fellow gaijin. Brush up on your Japanese bath house etiquette before you stay. It was great but I made a few mistakes that made me feel a little bit silly.

Talk about Ski in Ski out!! I didn't actually realise when I booked, that this is completely on mountain accommodation. Absolutely outstanding. Room was clean and comfortable, staff were absolutely great. Very helpful and accommodating. Breakfast in the mornings had a great selection to fuel up for the slopes and I thought other meals were tasty and great value for money. Catch the Ropeway and get picked up in a snowmobile.. how many places can you stay that do that!!

We booked a room with mountain view, but instead got a windowless room upon arrival. I suspect both the hotel and booking.com are responsible for this mistake.

Nice location on the mountain right next to a lift, rental shop right onsite, clean and cozy, friendly staff.

The property is on a hill so is hard to get into town after the cable cart closes at 5pm.

I stayed in autumn, and the location was divine; surrounded by trees with yellow and orange leaves, I enjoyed my morning coffee by the fire with a view of the lake. All the staff were exceptionally friendly and hospitable - I was well looked after. I will definitely be back for another beautiful stay!

It's an old lodge, so the facilities such as the shared bathrooms were small and cold. These negatives however are far outweighed by all the positives.

Hands down best breakfast buffet I've had at a hotel stay. The food was fresh and gourmet with plenty of varieties. The location of the lodge was right on the ski slopes, so it was a true ski in ski out experience. The staff here work around the clock to make the stay comfortable for their guests. They even picked us up on a ski cat on the first day after getting off the gondola to get there.

The dull metal stairs, squeeky wood flooring as well as the no private bathroom inside the room. Not recommended for senior who goes to the bathroom frequently at night time.

A classy lodge cabin with with billard tablre, comic books and unlimite drink, and a nice fire place to relax. Situated on top of a mountain. We had Good company with a friendly staff, gueat and owner, nice dinner and breakfast meal Peacefull place and a good hiking area during Autumn.

No personal toilet/shower, not that much to do around the area when I was there except for hiking, but if there’s snow, this place should be amazing

Beautiful location, great food, amazing and very friendly staff

The windows in the room need some renewal, difficult to open, which is needed during the summer months

Friendly and helpful staff We visited during the summer time, the place is good for an outdoor break with family and dogs

Love this place very much, hope we can stay more days. Surrounding was beautiful. Staff was friendly and helpful. We really enjoyed our stayed.

Cleanliness and maintenance of the hotel need not also be rustic. Good selection of food, but there is room for improvement in the overall quality of the food.

Nice and rustic cabin type hotel experience up on the mountain side. Ski in and ski out facilities. Hot chocolate to die for. Fireplaces.
