Great location, walkable to the JR station and Prince Shopping complex and Rooms are
The hotel is just a walkable distance from the JR station and is next to the outlet shopping center.
The hotel has shuttle bus service from the outlet to the hotel and is convenient.
The environment of the hotel is great, peaceful and natural although it looks like a bit old inside.
We arrived at your esteemed hotel on 1st Nov 2024. We felt at home with the hospitality of Mr sakagami. He assisted us in resolving a restaurant reservation issue immediately with his quick response.
We would like to thank him for his personal touch and cheerful smile

Humid, outdated cabin in the woods. The room spotless, the staff were wonderful. It wasn’t what I expected for the price.
This is a ski resort during the winter season. Although it’s still early season, they managed to open with man made snow. The snow condition is good but not great because the trail is narrow and there are too much skiers. However, it’s a great experience in the early season.
The resort is also next to an outlet center . There are 200 plus shops. It’s great for non skiers. The hot springs are also great, especially for the skiers after the exercises.
We are vegetarian and the restaurant taking care our request seriously.
Over all, it’s a great experience and I will definitely recommend it to everyone.
This is a very good hotel. Everything was excellent. Unfortunately, the “American breakfast” is not much of a diversion from the Japanese breakfast. The American breakfast needs a serious upgrade. That aside, and excellent hotel.
One of the downside is there is no aircon in the room during this season & room was stuffy & warm despite door ing the windows. Staff should inform during check in that the room is still equipped with heater not air condition as there was no indication in the room.

Peaceful area
Our stay got off to a bad start when receptionist at check in said our reservation was for one person and that we had to pay an extra 6000 yen for two nights. I said the reservation was definitely made for two, but she said no. So I reluctantly agreed to pay. I finally found my reservation that confirmed I was right. When I went back to show receptionist she said I didn’t have to pay the extra 6000 yen. That was it. No apologies. Not the typical Japanese courtesy. Most of the remaining staff were very courteous and helpful. Maybe this receptionist was just having a bad day. The hotel was nice and quiet surrounded with beautiful trees and located near a very popular outlet. The buffet breakfast was very good.
