We had a wonderful stay at the lodge, owned by Mr Lodge. Hospitality was great, rooms were simple and clean. Our family of 7 were given two rooms. Space was great. There is also a common dining area, and dedicated tables. Good range of drinks from the bar that can be ordered till midnight.Thank you Mr Lodge 😀

Our group of 14 (3 families) stayed with Mr Lodge and Sako for a week during winter. We had a wonderful time and highly recommend Lodge Free Run for a stay in Tsugaike Kogen.Rooms are very comfortable and clean, the staff are very friendly and super helpful in helping make your stay a great experience. As English speaking guests, we really enjoyed learning more about Japanese culture and language. Lodge Freerun is in a great location, a short walk to the Tsugaike village shops and only 50m from the ski slopes.Breakfast, dinner and drinks are available in the lodge, and staff can also recommend other local restaurants. Mr Lodge can also help you organise discount lift passes for the mountain resort.Highly recommend. Can't wait to come back.ありがとう Lodge Freerunまたね
