I got hooked on it last year and visited it many times.I went to stay during summer, autumn leaves, and ski season.In the summer, it is cool and comfortable due to the high altitude, and the view of the rich greenery in front of you is soothing. When I visited in late July, it was the time when you could see fireflies, so I went for a walk at night to see them. Recommended.The autumn leaves change color earlier than in the flatlands, so the best time to see them is from mid-October to late October. This time, I stayed in a special room, room 213. When I opened the window, I could see the autumn leaves and it was very nice.When skiing, it's easy to use as it's close to the ski resort, and I had the pizza they serve for lunch only in the winter. It was delicious.The crispy dough is light and each person can eat one piece.Dinner was always delicious, and I especially liked the chicken hotpot. It also comes with a mini ramen to finish the meal, which will fill you up. The one in the photo is sukiyaki.There were also handmade items at the shop, which I thought would be great as souvenirs.The facility may be old, but it is quaint and has a nice space, and every corner was kept clean.I would like to stay in room 213 again.

Directly behind the Kumanoyu Center House across the stream. A 2-minute walk from the lift ticket office. The location is Kumanoyuichi. The front desk staff are friendly and kind. The room was as clean as a hotel. There are two parking lots, one next to the inn and one in the back, with about 50 spaces. If you arrive too early, check in advance to see if you can stay at the accommodation. The bath is drawn from Hotaru Onsen and does not have the sulfur smell typical of Kuma no Yu. For dinner, we were served a main plate with a diameter of nearly 30 cm that seemed to be aimed at serving French cuisine, but on top were two thin pieces of frozen chicken breast, three drops of mayonnaise-like sauce, and a garland chrysanthemum? 1 leaf (see image/lol) My first meal at a ski hotel made me laugh. I think the main dish is the one-person hot pot of grilled beef. Dinner wine costs less than 30%. Breakfast is buffet style.

This inn is reasonably priced, close to Kumanoyu ski resort, and has spacious bathrooms and easy-to-use guest rooms. The parking lot is also easy to park in Shiga Kogen.Local beer is delicious.For lunch, I like Katsuju.

Perfect if you're going to Kumanoyu ski resort!I feel like it has been renewed in some places (*´∀`)The food is delicious and you can also drink local beer ( ´艸`)My only regret is that the heating didn't work.Maybe it's because it suddenly got cold,It was just the wind.Well, I couldn't stand it so I didn't tell the front desk (lol)

A traditional ski inn. There is a pool, so I used it during my summer camp. Nowadays, I was surprised to see so many slippers piled up that I don't know who used them.
