Location directly in front of the skiing area, allowing to start off the hotel doors. They offer good breakfast and dinner buffet (extra cost) with a reasonable selection. The public bath (onsen) is very spacious and even contains a hammam.

Expect a strong language barrier when not fluent/conversational in Japanese. This is to be expected for rural Japan and not unique to this place.

very near the ski

the room and they don’t have Yukata for children

nearby lift. room is clean.

breakfast

Good location. Even if it is quite a long journey to access the resort from Nagano (train, bus and then shuttle). All inclusive with easy access to ski rental (easy and friendly) and ski pass. Just in front the departure of a ski slope. Onsen.

Front desk should speak English. Difficult to exchange. Hotel looks like old. Nothing has changed since the 70’s. Difficult to manage the temperature in the room. Meal = buffet with basic foods. Restaurant closes early (19:30 with last admission at 19:00). Restaurant’s employees are very nice and helpful.

location was awesome

the hotel was old and a bit tired. Neither the pub or cafe was open so there was no way to go for an after ski drink.
