Great hospitality at a warm Lodge in spectacular snow covered mountains
The Lodge is kept at around 20 C, so the common areas are all warm, our room was pleasantly warm even without the heating on (and you can open the window to air it out), the whole Lodge feels spacious, there is a lounge with wood fire at night, there is a very affectionate Golden Retriever who will make you feel welcome, the location gives good access to Yokote-yama/Shibu-toge ski resort and Kumanoyu ski resort, the meals are very good including some regional specialities in the evening, the onsen bath was the perfect temperature (a little hot at first, but enough to warm your body through after soaking for 5 or 10 minutes), and most of all, the hospitality was very warm and generous.
Our room only had the older style futons, which were not thick or dense enough to provide adequate comfort when lying on your side, although on the flipside, were great for straightening out your spine when lying on your back.

Exceeded expectations. Especially the service and the food! A very cozy stay.
We had an excellent stay. The staff, food, location, room, everything was great. We had to leave early in the morning and the staff got up plowed snow so we could get to the road. Could not recommend this lodge enough.

The staff were so friendly, welcoming and would go out of their way to help you with anything you needed. They were always engaging and happy for a chat. The best part was moko (the golden retriever) greeted us each afternoon for a pat. The food was OUTSTANDING!! Some of the best dinners we have ever eaten, and SO much of it.
The pillows weren’t the most comfortable but that is coming from a westerners perspective.

Great place but needs a little maintenance in rooms
Great food, friendly staff, perfect location for powder days.
Pillows were uncomfortable and bed sheets didn't fit mattress well. Rooms need some maintenance work.

If you are looking for a traditional family run ryokan close to the slopes and bus stations in a very quiet setting then this is your place. Topped by Japanese hospitality and super friendliness supported by some of the most delicious home cooked. Traditional Onsen in house to relax tired bones after a day of skiing. We will be back for sure if returning to the area.
If you like your pillow on the softer side, bring your own.
