We had an excellent stay, food and presentations were exquisite. We admired the thought that went into presenting food in dishes that are compatible with the “mood” of the food. Only 5 minutes walk to the lift. Staff were professional, rooms were comfortable and clean. We really enjoyed our stay.

Where do I start? This place is amazing to stay at! I regret that we only stayed one night! The room was clean and the beds were comfortable. Breakfast was included and it was buffet style. Due to it being so early in the season, a lot of restaurants were closed, but the reception staff recommended a lovely BBQ place a short walk away which was delicious! The baths were to die for! We used both the private and public baths.

Very beautiful traditional ryokan, the staff were incredibly helpful and friendly. Had a blast snowboarding for the first time and enjoyed the onsen after a whole day out in the cold. Breakfast and dinner are delicious and very large portions.

Breakfast is good and staff at breakfast room is nice. Size of the room is quite large for Japan standards. The room is well equipped, storage is great. Outdoor onsen is nice, but is it 100m away from the hotel, not a big deal. But just keep that in mind.
