The breakfast and dinner were really good, a variety of dishes which filled all of us up! The cooking was excellent! The ryokan is located right in the heart of Echoland so close to many bars and restaurants but we didn't want to go out for dinner because the ryokan's was so good!

The onsen bath was nice but a little small and the water pressure was a bit weak.

friendly family run business, good traditional food, parking, onsen. great location with access to ski resorts, transport, shops and restaurants.

room was cold (old heater). 10pm lockout should be better communicated (didn't bother us but for others it could be an issue).

You walked in and you felt like you were being invited into someone's house. The staff was very accomodating and exceptionally kind. There was a clear language barrier but we muddled through it together. I needed to arrive very early and they were even ready with breakfast. The onsen on site was a nice place to unwind at the end of the day. And their miso soup was some of the best I had while in Japan. This place is about a 7 minute walk with ski boots from the gondola. All the restaurants in the area bookup early but no fear the food that they serve for dinner here is excellent. The room itself while spartan did have heat, ac, a TV and a sufficient amount of space for you to move around and get work done with their excellent internet. I would strongly recommend this place and book the meals too. They even drove me to the train station because a cab wouldn't arrive in time. If you are going by bus it's a 3 minute walk. The yakutas were comfy too.

They need bigger slippers.

Great variety of breakfast every morning!

Thin walls to the outside and inside.

breakfast and location.

10pm curfew, overbearing hosts (felt like I was breaking in whenever I entered the hotel), breach of privacy, no guests

The staff was very kind and helpful. The breakfast was different every day and was good. The beds and sleeping situation very comfortable. Thank you.
