Pros:✅ Great service, especially from Nakao-san. The staff were attentive and patient, despite our very basic Japanese language skills.✅ Very accommodating and flexible. Our bus (Limon) leaves at 16:30 once a day, but check out is at 10:00. They let us use the shared facilities even after checking out, and there was a waiting room available.✅ Great prices. Room prices include dinner and breakfast. Ski gear available for rent for reasonable prices. We were allowed to keep them for the duration of our stay (only had to rent once).✅ Convenient location. Bus stops right outside the lodge. Short walk up the mini slope to the Hachi Kogen ticket booth and nearby restaurant.Cons:⚠️ The booking website for both accommodation and the bus were clunky and very unintuitive. Quite frustrating.⚠️ Non-Japanese guests may struggle with some things like the language barrier, paper thin walls, shared public bath (no private option), tiny indoor slippers and ski boot size (up to 29.5cm).Details:🔵 Tatami room, futon, pillow, duvet, sheets. Kettle, heater, A/C. Drying rack for ski stuff. WiFi.🔵 Heater kept things always nice and toasty.🔵 Public toilet on the same floor as our room, public bath on 1F.🔵 Large hot bath to soak in after a long day of activities.
