It's a 5-minute walk from Kita-Yatsugatake Ropeway Sanroku Station, and there are rooms with a beautiful view of the Northern Alps from the window. Dinner is a Western-style course meal that is very delicious with appetizers, soup, and main dishes.

Thank you for taking care of me on my way back from climbing Mt. Kita Yatsugatake. Due to the bad weather, I had to give up on the mountain climbing I had planned to do after staying the night, so I was feeling less excited. However, thanks to the delicious food here, I have fond memories. Next time, once I get off work, I would like to go mountain climbing with my friends as a revenge.

No need for air conditioning in summer. Anyway, the food is amazing! The French full course is very satisfying. Elementary school students can also enjoy the course with a slightly reduced portion. The infant meals were also quite good! The private rock bath hot springs are also wonderful. You will be welcomed by the warm owner's family, and this is an inn that you will definitely want to stay at again.

I stayed at this pension during my snowshoe trip from Kita Yatsugatake Ropeway (^^)Since we stayed for one night from Friday to Saturday, there were no other guests, and we were able to use the private bath whenever we wanted♪I took a bath three times 🧖 It was a very nice hot spring that warmed up my cold body in the snowy mountains in no time ♨️The dinner was more filling and flavorful than I expected♪From seafood-filled appetizers to rich shrimp soup,The main course, beef stew, was incredibly tender, and the stew itself had the best taste I've ever had! !Thanks to you, I had a very enjoyable snowshoe trip ☃️I would like to use it when climbing in the summer too!

I used it for the night before climbing Mt. Kitayokodake in the snow. It's next to the ski resort, so it's close to the ropeway.Not only can you enjoy the refreshing hot spring water privately, but above all, the food is amazing! The French dinner, the wine that went with it, and the salad and bread for breakfast were very delicious. The homemade bread made with red and white wine was also very good.The rooms are small and in the style of a guesthouse, unlike a hotel, but they are clean and quiet, so there are no complaints about it. There are no yukatas or towels, so you'll need to bring your own, and the wifi may be a little weak.I'm also very happy that it's possible to stay alone.I apologize for the inconvenience caused by my clumsiness, but I would definitely like to make a repeat reservation again.

If I were to describe Pension Pilatus in one word, it would be a pension where both dinner and breakfast are wonderful (delicious).We had a delicious meal that was a feast for the eyes, nose, and tongue.There is also a homely atmosphere where even my young son brings his meals to us.However, this is just a little.First of all, it is built on a steep slope, so the stairs from the parking lot to the entrance are quite steep. We recommend that you do not choose this option if you have difficulty walking.Also, the hot springs are spacious and have a great view, but the floor where you wash your body is slightly sunken, so water doesn't drain and accumulates. That's why it's -1 star.However, even if you take those negative aspects into account, it is an inn that you will want to visit again.I visited in late November, so the leaves had already turned red, and I was able to enjoy nature by seeing a sea of clouds in the early morning and meeting a family of deer (about 4 deer) next to the parking lot. ️Next time, I would like to go on a bike tour in midsummer.

Although the building is showing its age, the interior is clean and comfortable. Dinner is a French-style full course. BGM is opera or classical music.It's run by a husband and wife team, and it's heartwarming to see their son, an elementary school student, helping out as a waiter.The richly stewed beef is very delicious. Especially the homemade bread is delicious.The wine bread is exquisite.The water in the two private rock baths is just right.It's dimly lit and I enter while looking at the night view.Unfortunately it was cloudy, but the stars would be beautiful on a clear day.There are no amenities such as bath towels, pajamas, toothbrushes, etc. You can rent one at the front desk for a fee, but you should remember to bring your own.

As the name suggests, it's a restaurant where you can stay overnight, and the food was delicious, and it felt like each group was served freshly prepared food. I received a glass of wine to go with my meal, but I didn't feel like it matched the number of items (menu) with the food.As a pension, it's a good place with a large rock bath, but although I felt like they were doing their best to clean it, there was a bit too much moss due to the sunlight, so I deducted points.Maybe you're not good at machines or DIY, but please try a slightly more expensive high-pressure washer.

After enjoying skiingEnjoy a private hot spring bath while gazing at the sunset over the Central Alps.Dinner is an exquisite course meal. Freshly baked homemade bread is delicious and a refill.It was so delicious that I forgot to take pictures and ended up missing out on some of the dishes.A luxurious time. It was the perfect pension for an anniversary trip.

It's a small pension that seems to be family-run, but the French dinner is perfect in both quality and quantity!I asked for a course that included wine, and surprisingly, 3 of the 4 types were wines from our Shiojiri region, so I'd give it a sweet rating....The rock bath hot spring while watching the sunset was also quite nice!

This is a pension I've always wanted to visit.There are two hot spring rooms, and each room can be reserved for private use. It gets very warm at just the right temperature. You can take a bath until 10:00 pm, and from 6:30 to 9:30 in the morning. My skin became smooth.Both dinner and breakfast are wonderful. I was able to add bread for dinner. I can't express the deliciousness in words, so please stay here once and enjoy it to your heart's content.Rakuten Travel did not accept credit cards, but I was able to use PayPal.This is a pension, so please bring your indoor clothes, towels, toothbrush, etc.There is a line, but you can also connect to the Wi-Fi in the pension.

This is a pension where the carefully prepared food is delicious. The freshly baked bread was exquisite. The location was great, just 5 minutes walk from Ropeway Sanroku Station.

I stayed on the standard course of 1 night and 2 meals. Dinner and breakfast were very delicious. The child who showed up every now and then was so cute, and I was grateful for the hospitality of the owner family. Personally, I would like to give it 100 stars instead of 5 stars. I would like to come again.

Pension Pilatus, where I stayed this time, is attractive with its hot springs fed directly from the source♨️ and full course French cuisine❣️The food is perfect. I can't say anything if I can eat this dish at this price 😍😍I ordered 4 types of wine and draft beer 🍺The wine that went with the meal 🍷Musée de Vin, Longan, fruity scent and refreshing taste...I think it's a wine that goes well with appetizers...😆Italian red wine,Shrimp soup 😋 Awesome ❣️The moment you put it in your mouth, the flavor of shrimp will spread throughout your mouth. And it goes well with Italian red wine😍😍Next is sole meuniere with almond sauce ❤️ This dish comes with chili sauce pinion blanc. The aroma is good, but the taste is amazing😄The sommelier will serve you wine that matches the food, so the combination is the best!! ️I can't say anything anymore😆The red Australian Shiraz comes with stewed Shinshu pork🤭This meat melts in your mouth the moment it enters your mouth.Dessert is the best!! ️Tiramisu is good, but an apple🍎 makes me feel happy the moment I put it in my mouth.The coffee was delicious too! ️After all, I'm the only one today, so I can rent out the hot springs as many times as I want! ️Start next week with smooth skin 😊😊

I stayed here to go snowshoeing at a nearby ski resort. All the dishes were delicious. The bath had a great view and the sunset was beautiful. I am very satisfied and will stay again.The next morning was a beautiful sight with the snow that had fallen during the night and the cold of -10 degrees Celsius.
