“Staff are lovely”

“Amazing place, absolutely exceeded expectations. The breakfasts were delicious and impossible to finish in quantity (great before a big ski day!) Matresses were comfortable and green tea available in the rooms. Staff exceptional.”

“Our hosts, Yoshiharda and Matchiko were very friendly and most helpful. They used a translator to help us all with language difficulties. The breakfast was delicious and very generous with both Japanese and western food available . The rooms very comfortable (we had futon bed the floor ) and clean. The downstairs onsen was therapeutic and relaxing at the end of a day on the slopes and there is a small area to sit and chat with other guests. The drying room facilities were very helpful. There is a shuttle bus stop very close to the lodge to take you up to the slopes and it is easy to walk into the central part of the village .”

“The lovely friendly hosts who went out of their way to assist us and provide beautiful traditional rooms and breakfast”

“A traditional ryokan operated by lovely people. The rooms are very comfortable and the breakfast delicious and generous. The onsen is the real deal too. If you are looking for an authentic ryokan experience you couldn’t do better. It’s also 25 metres from the shuttle bus and a short walk to the centre of town.”
