I visited in February in the winter.The front desk will be closed from noon to 3pm. We were in trouble because even when our guests returned from skiing before 2pm, they could not receive their room keys.

The Wi-Fi in the room is so weak that it's almost impossible to connect.The hot springs are also dirty so I can't go into them.The owner's attitude was the worst and I was told that I was being rude. As per other comments, I was told that I had no obligation to help even though I could help, so I went up on my own.

As mentioned in other reviews, I think this is a hotel for couples. It might be a good idea if you visited this place when you were young and want to show it to the next generation. It's the same as before...the same as when I visited 25 years ago. This is a hotel where time stands still. It's reasonably priced and recommended for families and students. It has a lot of Showa feel. I think the buffet meal is delicious...

Although the inn allows you to ski to the ski resort, the road to the inn is difficult unless you are used to snowy roads or don't have a 4WD. It's a hot spring, and I think the food is within a reasonable price range.
