I used it on the snowboarding Orion tour.It was good point・The rice is delicious・The crepe shop in front of you is cheap and delicious!Bad points・The room is dirty・The drying room is dirty and smells bad, and it's not heated so it can't be dried anymore.・It says it takes 8 minutes to walk to the convenience store, but it actually takes about 10 to 15 minutes.・There are no lockers or luggage storage facilities after check-out, so you must use a nearby locker. (During the high season, we recommend checking out early in the morning due to competition)bonusWhen you make a reservation with Orion Tours, you will be directed to a rental shop with a name like Jack and the like in front of the place where you exchange lift tickets, but this place was the worst ever.First of all, the attitude of the two clerks was bad. She wears earrings and a necklace, is unfriendly, and uses bad language. It's a level that makes you want to ask if they're neglecting customer business.And the quality of the board is poor.There are three grades, and it costs 1,500 yen to get to the middle and 2,000 yen to get to the top.The boots cannot be dialed unless they are on the top. Even on the upgraded boards, the screws in the buckles were often loose, and it cannot be denied that there was a lack of maintenance.When I pointed that out to him, he simply dismissed it and said, ``Oh, it's not a problem.'' I wondered if these guys would be able to take responsibility if something came off while skating and I was injured.Also, since there are no numbers or other stickers affixed to the board, mistakes can occur unless you place it in a clearly different place from other people's during breaks.Please be careful if you are going on the Orion tour.

I used it on a ski tour.【It was good point】・The food was delicious and had a wide variety of items.・Location...The ski resort was about a 5-minute walk away, and the rental shop was next door, so it was easy to use.・Staff...The reviews said that some people had a bad attitude, but when I went there, there were no such people, and most of them were kind.[Bad points]・No soundproofing equipment. The door is just a board, so you can hear the sounds from the hallway, toilet, and sink all the way to your room. When I went out into the hallway, even though my room was on the third floor, I could hear voices from rooms on the second floor.There is also a road outside, so you can hear the sounds of car engines and the conversations of passersby.Perhaps because there is a ski resort nearby, I was woken up by the sound of a maintenance truck coming in at 5am.I was able to sleep because the rooms on both sides were quiet, but I thought it would be the worst if there was a group of students next to me.・Security...There is no key when entering the toilet or bathroom from the hallway. Regarding the bathroom, I was worried because I was in the changing room as soon as I opened the door.othersIt says it's an 8 minute walk to the convenience store, but it actually takes about 15 minutes. I think many people go shopping at night, but it was so cold that I wasn't able to go, so I recommend purchasing what you need in advance.Toothbrushes and towels also need to be purchased for 200 yen.

I'm a normal office worker in my 40s.I have been on the board for about 20 years.In the first half of February, we used it as a lodging for a ski tour to Joetsu Kokusai Ski Resort.I used it because it was a 3 minute walk to the ski slopes, it was cheap, and I wanted to ski at night.I saw some bad reviews, but I had no complaints as it was enough to have a bed, meals, and a bath.The room was spacious enough for two men.Since it is a ski inn, the construction is simple. The walls are thin and the students are lively at night.If I had to say, my only complaint is that the entire table is crowded in the morning.(Bathroom is shared)Meals are served in the cafeteria.It feels like a set meal, but it also comes with small side dishes and sashimi, which is a good level for a ski hotel.You could additionally order sake and bottled beer.The staff at the front desk and the staff at the cafeteria were both friendly and enthusiastic, and I had a good impression.The nearest convenience store is a 10-minute walk, so if you want to drink alcohol, you'll have to walk a bit.However, there are two pubs across the street from the inn, so you can also use them.

Joetsu Kokusai Slope is a 3-minute walk (carrying a board), making it convenient for night skiing. The meals and baths at the ski resort are good for your tired body. See you next season!

It's close to the ski slopes, but it may have been the dirtiest of all the accommodations I've stayed at.The room was so dusty that I couldn't stop sneezing or having a runny nose.The toilets are shared, 2 Japanese style and 1 Western style.There was a lot of hair in the changing room in the bathroom and it was soaked with water.I don't think I will stay there again.It was nice to be able to smoke heated cigarettes in the room.

Although it was written that all rooms were equipped with air conditioning and heating, there was no air conditioning in the room, only a simple heater and a kotatsu. Of course, in Niigata, where the temperature was below freezing, there was no way anything like that could survive the cold, so it was a constant battle against the cold. In the photo, there was an air conditioner, so the air conditioner was probably removed due to the recent rise in electricity costs, but I felt it was fatal for a ski resort guesthouse. Also, the walls are so thin that if the room next door makes noise late at night, you won't be able to get a good night's sleep.It's close to the ski slopes and the price is reasonable, but I don't think I'll go there in the future.

The advantages are the low price and proximity to the slopes.The quality is comparable to that of a cheap snowboarding tour lodge. Considering that, it's not bad, but if you consider it by normal hotel standards, the room, food, and bath were all below average.Well, wouldn't it be fine if it was a student snowboarding tour?
