The reviews from young skiers are terrible, but as an off-season hotel guest, I find it irrational why there are such low ratings.First of all, although the building is old, it is very clean from the entrance and has a clean feel.Additionally, all meals are prepared by the head chef. These days, there are many ready-made hotel package dishes, but it was delicious.In addition, the hot spring bath is designed so that insects and dead leaves are automatically washed away by the bathtub, and the faint scent of sulfur soothes your tiredness.I would like to use it again as a trekker.

Although I did not stay overnight, this rental shop was specified on the bus tour, so I will post a case where there is no paid option. …

Food poisoning outbreak, vomit in the public bath, worst hotel of my life.When I stayed there from February 20th, I was infected with norovirus due to food poisoning. At the shabu-shabu dinner, the raw pork and chicken meat was left at room temperature for over an hour. I don't know how long other ingredients have been left at room temperature. At around 16:00 on February 20th, vomit was left in the sink in the large bath. Under such conditions, it is natural that the infection will spread. The bathtub is not a free-flowing hot spring, and there is no famous nigori-yu here. The water was dirty and lukewarm with dirt floating in it. If you want to soak in a hot spring, you will need to take a day trip to a nearby hotel.You might think that the rental is free, but in reality, if you don't pay an additional fee for each item, you will be given a worn-out item that is over 10 years old. Even if you pay a not-so-cheap amount, such as 2,000 yen a day for a board and 1,500 yen a day for clothing, you won't be able to rent something that beautiful.Considering the sloppy hygiene management that caused food poisoning, the low-quality public bath that cannot even be called a hot spring, and the expensive and low-quality rentals, it would be better to spend another 10,000 yen and stay at a nearby hotel. I think you will have a much better travel experience.I don't want to give even 1 star. It was the worst hotel of my life.

It was a dinner buffet, but I was tired from slipping and thought it would be crowded, so I went there a little late (within the designated dinner time) and was surprised to find that everything had been cleaned up so quickly.It wasn't like we were running on time, but we had plenty of time.Of course I complained, but it was all over now.Even if I yielded 100 steps and ran out of food, I wouldn't be able to help it, but there was still plenty of food left for the employees to eat lol.Sorry to complain to the front desk, but that's it lol

This time I was focused on skiing, and I didn't really care about the accommodation since I was only going to sleep there, but the hot springs were nice.Dinner is a buffet of hotpot and side dishes.I was imagining a training camp from when I was on the ski club, but it was much better.My daughter, who is in middle school, liked this restaurant as it was better than the Japanese food at the inn.Breakfast was a buffet and I was able to choose the amount and side dishes.It would have been better if they sold ice cream.The path to Yokoteyama Ski Resort is a gentle uphill slope, making it quite difficult to carry skis on your shoulders.It is better to take the free bus to the ski resort◎The way back is by road, so you are not allowed to go down while wearing skis, but if there is snow, you can return to the hotel with your skis on.
