A friend and I stayed there during one week-end. It was a very good experience. The room is quite large and very clean. The highlight of this stay was for sure the dinner. The food was delicious, made with high quality products and with a large selection of different dishes. The owners were very nice with us. If you want to have an experience in a traditionnal family owned ryokan, I highly recommend to stay there :) It is exactly the kind of place that I hope will still exist in some years!

    This was a great experience - the traditional room and bedding, the meals, and the service were all fantastic. Location is a bit tricky to get to if you don't have a car, but well worth the effort.

    Location is good as it is a walking distance to the ski lift. Staffs are nice. They have English speaking and Chinese speaking staffs that provide better service to foreign guests. The dinner and breakfast are good and well serve.

    Great location, just 1 min walk to the cable car station and 30s walk to ski-rental shop. The hotel provided the rental discount coupon, only 2500 yen per day!
