Top hotel. These people were very friendly when we needed a taxi. They even offered to take us to a place where there are taxis. They then called the taxi company that had also taken us here. Then, even though they were closed, we were allowed to wait inside for our taxi. So very friendly!

There is a ski resort next to it, which is convenient for intermediate and advanced skiers. There is also a free shuttle bus nearby for easy access to other beginner ski resorts.As for the accommodation, the price is cheap and the breakfast and dinner are rich. The dishes are not repeated after four days of stay. The boss and waiters are very enthusiastic. The only drawback may be that it is more suitable for people with some Japanese communication skills.There are also ski equipment rentals and hot springs to soak in.

The hot springs are constantly flowing ♨️ It's hot, but once you get used to it it's okay. A beautiful bath. Fill your stomach with home-style seasoning! The rooms are also spacious and clean. It might be a good idea to call directly! Pets are also allowed. It seems that there is a discount for pets only. Please be careful as you are not used to it. Personally, I think it's 4.3 stars. The landlady is a friendly person.Additional note: The temperature of the hot springs in winter is slightly warmer for those who like hot water due to the distance from the source. It's a little hot for those who like hot water.I stayed for 3 nights from 2022/2/25.The temperature of the hot springs was even more comfortable.Last time, the restaurant was closed for lunch due to coronavirus precautions, but this time it was open.Nabeyaki udon (aluminum foil pot) is famous, and many people ate it.Pickles are homemade and served. It is delicious.Even people who were staying far away came to enjoy the food. I don't think it tastes like a gelatinous food.I had the sauce cutlet bowl, and the cutlet was freshly fried and the sauce was delicious.There were so many customers that I couldn't take any photos, but there are photos in the post.
