"The property and staff were AMAZING! The location was perfect, in walking distance to Happo One. I loved the traditional style of the accommodations. I highly recommend this establishment to anyone who is looking to ski or snowboard during the day and a touch of traditional Japanese when it is time to rest and relax."

"Excellent and friendly staff, always eager to help with any questions. Shuttle is great. Loved that the ski rental shop is right in the hotel. I wish the hot springs was a bit bigger and had more amenities but it was a nice way to relax after a day of skiing. The bar and restaurant is not open during the day which we didn’t realize. All in all a great hotel though."

"The people who work here are WONDERFUL. Sad that mgmt put them in this position. The facility is really in terrible shape, maintained in a patchwork, the grounds had snow boulders falling from roof and a treacherous entrance to reception. The worst arrival we've ever had; there was no shuttle service to the hotel. The roads were icy and there were no available taxis so we wandered around with gear and suitcases for 1 1/2 hours taking two nasty falls on the ice after a 12 hour trip to get there. Instead of skiing, we planned our second day of slope time there lugging our stuff back to the bus station for shipping in order to prepare for departure. The property is not a hotel, rather it's a dorm/hostel type of place. The shared bathroom was on another floor from us on 4, had one out of order, and it was flooded from the other leaking and smelly in the women's 3rd floor. Fire exits were blocked with old beds and furniture, tied open to window latches or inoperable with doors removed, no sprinklers, etc. It was completely dangerous as far as fire safety evac goes. Difficult to navigate by its byzantine corridors and lockers for gear don't lock. I never went to the communal shower but opted to use the hot springs (a 20 minute walk) after seeing the grunge reviews about not going in without shower shoes. If you wanted a nice bath there, it costs ¥3,000 extra which is more than the one in the village. Overall, the staff and location to lift were super."

"Rooms were clean and beds were good for sleeping after a good day skiing. Breakfast was also great. "
