I used it during a three-day holiday in winter.There were a lot of troubles like my car getting stuck on the way, but it was such a wonderful hotel that all of those troubles were blown away.The rice was delicious, but especially the water with the meal and the coffee after the meal were delicious.The handmade semi-open-air bath was also great.The room was also spacious and comfortable.This time the purpose was skiing.This is the hotel I would like to travel to next time.

My family used it.First of all, the facilities as a whole are old.The location is good enough that you can walk to the ski resort. (Return is recommended as the way there is uphill)And they provide excellent customer service and food that blows away the age of the facility.You can greet them with a smile and talk to them like family.Also the food is really delicious. It's a dish you'll never get at a hotel buffet. We don't have the opportunity to eat French cuisine (course) for our children, so it was refreshing.It was also fun to lay out futons in the Japanese-style room and sleep together.

The staff's attentiveness and hospitality are wonderful.I'm satisfied.The food is generally delicious, but considering the price, it's a step further.I appreciate that the seasoning is relatively light.It would have been nice if there were more options for bath time, but it can't be helped in terms of facilities.

It was my first time going to the snow, and when I arrived, they came to my car and welcomed me like family, and the dinner was so delicious that I almost felt my cheeks drop! I've been to many countries and stayed at many hotels, but this hotel truly cares about each child and the children, and I can't recommend it enough! (^ ^) (^ν^) It was Christmas in the morning, so they thought about the children and even put presents on the Christmas tree, which gave them precious memories. (^ω^)Please go and try it. I really recommend it ♪~

Thank you for your help in August. Located right next to the Kurumayama lift, you can easily access Kirigamine, Ikenotaira Resort, Tateshina Kogen, etc. Dinner was a full course meal, but it was served quickly and there was no wait, and it was very delicious. This is a pension that I would like to visit again when I come here.

As soon as you arrive, you'll be excited to see the stylish building. The furniture is very good and I think the atmosphere inside the building is good. The photo shows marinated seafood. The amount of salt was perfect and it was delicious. In addition, fish dishes, meat dishes, soups and desserts will be served. I was surprised that rice was served instead of bread, but I think the taste and quantity is more than enough for this price.The bath seems to have been handmade by the owner, and while I'm impressed by his dexterity, it's also disappointing because it doesn't look like it was made by a professional. The bath in the room is a small unit bath, and the private semi-open-air bath is limited to 30 minutes. I had a hectic time taking a bath, so perhaps the bathroom is the weak point of this hotel. The customer service was warm and I have very fond memories. I think I want to go again.

I stayed here for two nights starting on New Year's Eve. I enjoyed watching the first sunrise and skiing. The food was delicious and the hostess was kind.
