Ishiuchi Ski Center

We visited mid-January for the snow. Ishiuchi Ski Center is a great place to stay when going on a ski/snowboard trip. It's right in the middle of the slope. The room was very comfortable, the heater was toasty and kept us warm from the freezing temperature outside. Toilets were well cleaned and also has a bidet/washlet. The reception floor has a cafeteria and dining area, although at certain times only. We paid for the dinner (being halfway on a snow slope and didn't want to risk missing the last lift back up). It was a full and delicious meal, Japanese style. They had heating rooms downstairs to dry your gear, and the heater was working. I like the idea of being in the middle of a slope. Will visit here next time to be more active with snow sports.

During snow, either the location in the middle of the slope, or that the hotel don't have snowmobile service to the bottom of the hill. Travelling in the gondola is fine, but on the chair lift with heavy luggage is very risky. (Lucky we just had backpacks.) The location also makes it a bit tricky to reach there when travelling in snow: you need to buy a lift pass, take the gondola up past the hotel, then take the left (not right) chairlift down to the halfway point, then walk about 2 minutes on flat snow to the entrance. When getting off the gondola, you should take the chairlift on the left; if you take the right chairlift, it ends below the hotel, and you need to walk up in the snow.

Amazing location right on the slopes, fantastic meals and great staff. Everyone was super nice

The location is exceptional, the staff didn’t speak English well but they tried their best! The food is also excellent, I will highly recommend to anyone who is going to Ishiuchi!

The community restrooms were a change from what I was used to, but they were very well maintained and very clean.

Location is perfect for trip to the snow. Food was nice and good price And the host are very nice

Pillows were not good and my room made a constant humming noise from outside air conditioning unit. so if you are noise sensitive when trying to sleep it can be annoying. Also the toilet room was abit smelly. But the location for the price is well worth any negatives. I would still stay again.

the ski center was right in middle of the slope making it convenient for skiing. the food was excellent and the staff were welcoming

slightly difficult to access, but staff did their best to accommodate our needs

The food was excellent and super convenient location. The owners are so accommodating and helpful.

Nothing.
