If only I could rate the hotel more than a 5 star, I will. 1. The owner/host both are so accommodating, helpful and is super kind. I experiences the real Japan omotenashi (hospitality) thru them. Especially the lady owner, she goes a long way to make your stay comfortable and as convenient as it is. She even help call a reservatuon for taxi.2. The accommodation feels homey. Clean, comfortable and spacious. I slept in a Japanese style room that has futon and Kotatsu. The kotatsu is so comfortable that you dont want to get off them. The Heating is also excellent so the room is warm.3. The room is equipped with air cleaner, fridge, tv & there is also available himidifier that you can use if needed. Basic amenities are provided too and a yukata. There is a common toilet on the second floor and so as the basement. Microwave is also available for use if you warm your food and the owner can lend you plates and utensils.4. The nearest onsen is 3 minutes by foot and the owner will give you the 100¥ coupon discount if you use the nearest day onsen spa.5. The location is perfect just a minute walk to the main ropeway station that’ll take you to the snow monster. 5 minutes walk to the convenience store, 7 minutes walk to the bus terminal and has few good restaurants around.6. The breakfast is also delicious and hearty. The hotel has big dry room for your ski/snowboard gears and cheaper ski lift tickets if you buy from the hotel.I highly recommend this place and I will definitely come back again on the next winter season.

It's a one-minute walk from Zao Station. It has limited-guest accommodation in an apartment style. It serves French cuisine for breakfast and dinner in Japan. It's not easy to persevere. You can eat, drink, play and have fun all at once!

Stayed here 2 nights without meals for snowboarding at Zao Onsen. The price is decent and worth every yen.The ski room is pretty large and clean. Beds and Kotatsu table are too comfy that you don't want to get off them.The bathroom is small, but okay.The owner is polite and responsive on messages.You can also get a discounted lift ticket at the front desk.The best part is its location since you can walk 1 minute to Zao Onsen Ropeway Sanroku station, and 3 minutes to Zao Ropeway Chuo station to avoid crowded at the first one.Then, it's perfect for snowboarders/skiers who want to take the first ropeway , and don't care much about Onsen.

I stayed several times and it has always been excellent. The rooms are bright, clean and comfortable. Conveniently located in front of the sanroku ropeway, it is almost ski in ski out as you only need to cross the street and a small parking lot to get to the ropeway or lift. Also only a short walk to the village public onsen. I recommend making a reservation with dinner and breakfast as the food is delicious and dining options are very limited in the village.

The landlady is kind, the room is comfortable, and the bathroom is shared, but it does not affect the quality. And the quality of bathing in its bathroom is no worse than that of hot springs
