Very nice hotel, ski in ski out resort, you can hire all your ski gear from the hotel which is handy. The rooms are very clean and the staff are lovely. They have a private bath which you can book, which also has a sauna.

Only thing was that it is a bit of a mission to get to the hotel, it’s a bit out the way as you have to drive all the way up the mountain. It’s not in walking distance to any restaurants or shops so you’ll definitely need a car, or you can catch the shuttle bus but it only has certain times/locations throughout the day

Mai and Shintaro are both very warm and helpful people! Even had trouble to get to hotel because of the snow, they react quickly no matter how late that was. The leaving day, the other staffs including driver all help us to remove the snow to leave the hotel. Overall was very pleasant stay for me and my family, the ski in ski out was perfect for us as well. Thanks again!

The road to get to the hotel during snow season

Room and lobby are very comfy. staffs are very friendly and helpful.

Hard to go out for grocery shopping or restaurants especially on heavy snow days.

Perfect place for winter vacation

The room: Room size is perfect if you have all your skiing gear and clothings with you. The facilities: The private bath is a must try, you get to use the hot bath for an hour with a humble fee of 5000 yen There is ski rental service at the hotel lobby, and it is basically a ski-in-ski- out hotel. Yet, the choice is limited; you may consider renting from elsewhere if you are picky skier. But personally I m satisfied with my rental boots and skis. The restaurant: The food from the restaurant was amazing: Breakfast is not the buffet style but the presentation and the taste of the set breakfast is simply one of the best I have had from many ski resorts I have stayed with in the past. For Christmas dinner we had the Sukiyaki set for two, the taste was impeccable and the portion was very generous too. Overall it is a cozy little restaurant but a fireplace at the centre; perfect for a white Christmas setting! The staff: The staff are super helpful; although it’s a hotel but the staff serves you like you are staying in a home stay/ B&B. On the first day, we forgot our ski pass and we just realised it at the chairlift entrance. We called the staff and they offered to bring us the passes, saved us the trip of walking back to the hotel with our gears on.

The only concern with the hotel is the location. It is quite remote if you are using public transport. But the hotel does offer shuttle from Hakuba station daily. Getting to other ski sites could be troublesome if you are not driving, seems using taxis/ Uber is the only option. We drove from Nagano station, and the GPS pointed us to a wrong location. Luckily we called the staff and they were able to direct us to the hotel. Pls get a 4WR car if you go in the winter cuz the snow could be quite heavy. And take the hotel shuttle instead if you are not used to driving in the snow and through the winding country roads. For us, driving to Hakuba 47 was a 20 min drive only. So the location is not too inconvenient for us.

Ski in ski out resort

Lack of staff, lack of facilities, lack of everything that a Japanese resort should have.
