Lovely experience staying and skiing. The landlady runs the place with efficiency and friendliness. I was very impressed by the cleanliness of the place throughout the day and night, even though there were lots of people staying. …

My friends and I had an absolutely wonderful time. The breakfast was affordable, fresh, and delicious. The rooms are very comfortable, the whole facility is clean, and lots of attention to detail is paid. Easy access to onsen and snow resorts. Akiko-san and Sumiko-san are the best! You will be well taken care of and have a great time. Can’t wait to come back! ✨
