We particularly love its antique Japanese taste. The inside bedroom and restrooms are super clean. The location is super good. Easy to travel within the village. You may feel the setting of the entrance passage looks like a movie setting. It will give you special memories years later when you look back now.

The aesthetic and location of the property were all top notch! It’s only accessible by car so do take note! We went for a stay here in winter and although there could be more heating, I found myself really loving the whole atmosphere and vibe of the property. The owner was also extremely friendly and helpful, even helping us shovel snow off the driveway and even our car! I can’t help but sing high praises for this property and I would definitely return in the future! Thank you for the amazing stay!

Hospitality is incredible here. The facility is located up in the villiage, so it was quite difficult to get there by 2wd car in winter. But the owner provided us a parking below and drove us and other guests around the village wherever we needed to go: restaurants, onsen, ski rental shop, bus station etc. There is no shower in the facility, but we were provided onsen coupons so could use a free onsen nearby. Breakfast is simple but generous and packed neatly so we could eat it there or take out. Hosts take care of ski gear over night, so it’s clean and dry next morning. Rooms are warm with thick mattresses. The closest lift is in a few steps away, slope is also there, so can slide right to the entrance door. Overall, great for price, and hospitality is way above expectations!

    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!

    This is a fairly simple guest house, but the host is absolutely wonderful. We could not have been looked after better, and this made it our favourite place to stay during a 2 week trip through Japan. We didn't dine there in the evening (we had only booked for 1 night) but wished we had, as the breakfast we had was incredible, and I've no doubt the dinner would have been just as good. Highly recommended. In addition, the property is well located, within easy walking distance of everything in the village.
