It's already been 20 years since I started going every year lolThe food is definitely recommended! My wife's home-cooked meals that I don't have to worry about every time are the best! The homemade Koshihikari rice is also the best! I'm always full with guaranteed refills lolHe also became the owner of a terraced rice field and used it as a lodging during his summer climbs of Mt. Iishi. The freshly picked summer vegetables were also very delicious. I will visit you again!

! What was good about itLocated in the middle of the slope (the course below the halfway point is an intermediate course)It's also easy to go to night games.Underfloor heating keeps you warm when you sleepThe hotel was warm and the rooms were comfortable.The rice is delicious!The side dishes are so delicious that I end up eating too much.Dinner is served from 5:30 p.m.In addition to each table provided,Several items were also available in buffet style.(Everything is really good)(If you arrive late for dinner, we also offer buffet-style side dishes.It has decreased considerably)Breakfast is served from 7:30am.Breakfast is also delicious! (I eat too much (happy)Hot coffee available at breakfast(It tasted like Hawaiian coffee, some said they wanted milk)Natural hot spring/bathtub is comfortable/Karan needs repairWater and tea in the cafeteria can be drunk at any time, even outside of meals.! othersMaybe it can't be helped, butI felt like we were understaffed.When ordering drinks during meals, it seems difficult to speak to them.The beer is Kirin Ichiban ShiboriMedium mug 650 yen, medium bottle 600 yen (tax included)There was sake, wine, and soft drinks.It may take some time for us to respond to email inquiries.Applications can only be made online.Although there are five men's baths,Only two can be used properly.As with other guesthouses,Are Karan showers prone to breakdowns? .(Shampoo, conditioner, and body soap are included.Towels can be purchased, bath towels can be rented for a fee)There is a hair dryer, but it may be difficult to dry (a woman's story)I wish the skis available for rental were a little newer.(For elementary school students, Dynastar has a Showa feel. For adults, ElAN is quite old. The boots are the type that locks at the back.)It's more seasoned than renting from a rental shop near the station (lol)If you are interested, try simple waxing orIt might be a good idea to bring an eraser to remove rust from the edges.There may be a fee issue, butIf you use it as a family, it will cost you a certain amount,I would like to be able to use the card.(paypay and cash only)If possible, there would be a vending machine in the building.It's just a short walk outside.For male staff, we are in the customer service industry, soI would appreciate it if you could be a little more careful about your clothes.

Thank you for your help the other day.It's an uncomfortable location, but I think it's relatively expensive compared to surrounding facilities.I think the location of the accommodation within Iwahara Kogen is not bad, as it is close to the parking lot among the guesthouses on the slopes.Here are my impressions and reference information about my stay.- Accommodation and meals are a little expensive (approximately 30,000 yen/day for two people, 20,000 yen/day for a room without meals, and an additional 5,000 yen on weekends).・There is a fee to use the washing machine, and there is no dryer. There is a drying room.・Additional charges apply for bathing after check-out, and the same charges as outpatient services apply after 4:00 pm. (*If you entered the bath by 4:00 pm and left around 4:05 pm, you would still be charged an outpatient fee.)・The room has floor heating.・On-site payment is cash only・There are no vending machines (maybe they just couldn't find one).My final impression is that at this price, it's okay.

I had soba noodles and croquettes for lunch.My master? Authentic handmade soba noodles.I was surprised to be able to enjoy soba like this on the slopes. This is a limited menu available only on weekends.Croquettes are handmade and taste like home!It's a little pricey, but I'm very happy to be able to enjoy delicious home-style croquettes.However, it's a bit annoying because you have to take off your boots because it's the inn's dining room.

Available・Mom & pop style "minshuku"・Traditional Japanese meal・Kind hospitality・Cozy room and fire place・Onsen bathtub・Cash & Paypay・Discount tickets for IwapparaUnavailable・fridge・Towels & brushes・Wi-Fi (in room)I stayed here during the year-end and New Year holidays of 2022-23. As a lodge with direct access to the slopes, it was a good hotel that lived up to its reputation!Most of the concerns mentioned in other people's reviews have been resolved.However, there were some parts that were a little confusing the first time I used it, so I have written it down below for future users.*All information is as of December 2022, please check for the latest information!▫️About reservationsChanges to your plan can only be made online.Currently, inquiries are not accepted by phone.There was no problem at all once I canceled on the web and rescheduled.▫️About parking lotWhen you exit the underground passage (about 50m?) that connects P6 to the slopes, the inn is right in front of you, but it seems that only guests of certain inns can park in P6, and the closest parking lot from the inn is P3.*P6 can also be parked for 30 minutes only for unloading.P3 fills up quickly these days, and I was directed to P4 at 9:00 on a public holiday. P3 will be empty in the evening, so it's a good idea to get back from the slopes early and move on before dinner.▫️About the room (7 tatami mats with washbasin)・Since it is a guesthouse, you can hear the neighbors' voices quite a bit.→Since it was mutual, there were no customers who complained.・There is no refrigerator (it will get quite cold at night just by leaving it near the window, but be careful of living things during the day.)・Wifi is not available in each room.→Since it was the end of the year, the special program was not very interesting, so I was even happier to have Wi-Fi available in my room.・The room was very clean and comfortable, with plenty of clothes racks (coat racks).・The floor heating was really comfortable and it was hot!・The washroom has hot water.▫️Meals・Anyway, it was delicious and had a nostalgic taste, and the quantity was just right.→There always seems to be a buffet-style menu, so if you have a big appetite, it will probably satisfy you.・We have a wide variety of sake, so even adults can enjoy it!・There is a vending machine in the restaurant・There is a wonderful fireplace, but I felt it was a waste as it was only available during meals.I thought it would be nice to have a drink around the fireplace after dinner, but it would be difficult since the hostess would have to spend a lot of time...▫️Others・Amenities such as yukata and toothbrushes are not provided.→Shampoo conditioner and hair dryer available in the bathroom→Towel rental available for a fee・You can buy lift tickets at the front desk (quite cheap, lift tickets are cash only)・Payment can be made by cash or by PayPay.・Other facilities such as baths and drying rooms were also perfect.→It has been renovated in places and is clean, but even if it is not, it is very clean.→I was surprised to see that the lights on the stairs were falling off lol・Cute tropical fish swimming in the dining room makes you feel at ease🐠▫️FinallyI apologize for taking so long, but everyone at the inn was very nice and I had a comfortable stay.There are many ski lodgings, but the warm hospitality of the innkeepers alone will definitely make you decide to come back!If you have another chance, please let me visit you again.thank you very much.

I only used it for lunch.Perhaps because it's located a little further down from the slopes, it was relatively empty when we arrived at 12pm on a Saturday.You can take off your shoes before entering the restaurant, and the restaurant is non-smoking, so it's good for families with small children. think. The room is quite warm (with a fireplace!). The curry udon and salted rice balls were so delicious that my family fought over them. The smoking area is where you take off your shoes. For payment, you can use cash or PayPal.

It is old, but it is warm and comfortable with floor heating. The cafeteria is a firewood fireplace. It feels better than gas fans and air conditioners.The ski area itself is the same, but it is for families.I only took one photo, but the meal was good. The rice in the photo is two colors because both white rice and scallop cooked rice were added. Salad, pickles, and yogurt in the morning at the main dish and buffet. At night, meat potatoes and Happo vegetables came out.It may be enough for women alone.I hope you ask for a negative point● Isn't it smell of toilet for men?● I want hot water for hand washing. . .● I want you to stop dessert from the beginning of your meal. . . You can go to get it yourself, so I want you to do it later.● Would you like to make the sheets a box sheets?● If you don't have a towel, please write it firmly. Bath towel rental was 100 yen@February 2020
