Absolutely amazing hotel a short distance from the train station (but not loud at all). Beautiful views, spacious rooms, and indoor and outdoor onsens! The onsens were open for most of the day and shut at midnight which is great for people who get back late from day’s activities like us - even started to snow one night while outside in the onsen which was magic! There were also free soba noodles provided at night and tea and coffee in the day, friendly service, and very comfy beds. I already want to stay again!

We loved our experience at this hotel. As first timers to Japan it was an awesome introduction. The staff where fabulous and helpful. We found communicating pretty easy, we loved the Japanese buffet style breakfasts and dinners, and the Japanese food in general, they where also happy to cater for the vegetarian in our group. We had two rooms, one western style and one Japanese style room which our 20 year daughter used, she had no trouble sleeping on the futon mats. If you are a family with young children the Japanese style rooms are great. Being so close to the Takamahara ski lift was such a bonus, it was literally across the road. They have great ski dry rooms for the end of the day. I also highly recommend using the luggage courier system to transport ski gear to the hotel, you just need to allow for 48 hours for your gear to reach its destination. We couriered 2 ski bags and a large bag directly to Narita airport at the end of our stay while we spent two days in Tokyo, it was cheap and super efficient. I highly recommend this hotel.

    The room was much bigger than I anticipated, and in a Japanese style (with tatami) so I was pleasantly surprised. The onsen in the hotel was an absolute delight. It had several baths with different temperatures, a lounge space, a sauna, a cold bath (which can be rare), and of course everything needed to wash yourself thoroughly before going into the baths. The hotel also provides body towels as well as face towels, so you don't need to bring yours. They have lockers to keep your items safe while bathing. There's free breakfast (little pieces of bread + some juice and coffee/tea) and a space on the first floor to relax after the onsen for example. It has wifi there as well.

The staff went above and beyond with their exceptional kindness and attentiveness. A special mention goes to the onsen lady! It was a pleasure communicating with her despite language barriers. Both dinner and breakfast were delicious and generously portioned. This experience truly represents everything we love most about Japan. A perfect stay! ありがとうございました！GRAZIE!

    Incredible service and incredible overall experience. It's like staying in a fancy cabin in the snow. The lounge area with the giant fireplace is awesome, very nice food, very spacious rooms and first class facilities such as the onsens and indoor swimming pool. The decor could be interpreted as dated (as other reviews have stated) but we felt this simply adds to the warmth and cosiness of the establishment. The service here is seriously next level and it is fantastic value for money.

    For a tourist location, it was hard to find restaurants open, or willing to seat us (a party of five). But in general the food was good and the location was great for hot springs and access to the snow monkey park.

    I think I would have stayed a little longer (than 3 nights) to take advantage of the skiing and the onsen's (alternate between the two!), to relax for longer in the Japanese countryside. (I did not come to Japan to just check off the tourist sites...) The town has narrow streets to walk on, even without gps you cannot get lost as it is more or less parallel to the river, especially the more tourist section with all the onsens.

    The Onsen hot springs experience was unique and for anyone wanting to see how the Japanese hold this aspect of their beliefs in such high regard this area is a perfect example and for a couple of days you can immerse yourself in a different cultural and culinary experience that will be the highlight of your holiday and the truest insight of this unique way of life.

    Great little town as a base for seeing the amazing snow monkeys. The walk to the monkeys was very pleasant (but it is advisable to wear wellingtons as it is very mucky). There are many small Ryokans in the town - sadly all of varying standards. Our recommended one was Tsuyuru Ryokan. Great little place run by the amazing Yoko.
