    Breakfast is limited if you want a break from Japanese breakfast everyday. Japanese breakfasts are lovely just on a long stay would like to mix it up a little.

    Private onsen were a highlight.

    Nothing.

    We loved everything at the hotel during our 5 night stay. We were promptly picked up and dropped off at both the ski resort and the local station on the hotel shuttle bus. The staff were lovely; polite and super helpful. Coffee machine in the foyer, ski room, onsens, and the beautiful Japanese dinner and breakfasts were to be experienced.

    Bed topper is too thin so your back can feel springs below. Bed is very hard. Faucet is old style so difficult to control water temperature. Breakfast main dish is small portions but delicious and nice presentation. you can eat more breads, juice , soups …. at buffet stations .

    The hotel has beautiful characters that passed its glory days but still charming and well maintained . Staffs, services, room, dining room which has very beautiful super-large glass window/wall so while having breakfast we saw very beautiful autumn trees 👍😍.

    When we first step into the room, we thought we smelt of urine smell as the bathroom was nearest to the door. Upon checking the bathroom, it was clean, so perhaps its odour from the toilet, and all needed was a few air fresher spray that you can find in the room.

    Homely, cosy yet comfortable place to stay. Travelled with my son who is checking in for the 1st time to a nearby school, and as it was a totally new environment, the front office was very accomodative, responsive to all my queries prior and during my stay. Our check-in process, and arrangement of shuttles were top-notch, and special shout-out to Ms. Tomoko Morimoto, who speaks well English despite her shyness, and her passionate interest to ensure each tenant of the hotels are well served. Kudos to the front-office team. The onsen is a must try. Arigato gozaimase

    The Staff went beyond the call of duty to make our stay comfortable. I suffered an injured knee at the nearby ski slopes during our stay. The staff helped arrange for necessary visits at two different hospitals, and the hotel changed our room to make our stay easier. It was as authentic Japanese hospitality as one could expect. We are really very grateful, and look forward to many more return visits. (The food, bath facilities and rooms are, needless to say, all completely wonderful as well. The private outdoor baths are clean and comfortable. I also highly recommend having dinner at the hotel. Very delicious.)

    The only small issue was the repetitive breakfast selection. After 5 days of lodging it needed to change in my opinion.

    The staff were professional, helpful, and offered great service. Perfect location for skiing at Appi Kogen Ski Resort. Shuttle service was very convenient to and from station and ski resort. The dinner selection was good for dinners included.
