Limited selections of breakfast, same daily. Hotel guest with tattoo is ban from using the hot bath - many big ski in/ski out hotel allowed guest with tattoos to use the hot bath in recent years, no biggie but would have been a plus after a day of ski. We were given the 4 single bed room for our family of 3 (2 adult + 6yrs old kid). The bed was tiny with no rooms to turn. Overall ok decent hotel but would try out others next time.

We were here as a family of 4 (west) - with 2 teenagers. It was a nice introductory place to ski lessons. However, the rooms are old and dated and very basic. There is a very long corridor to get to the rooms on each level, so if you end up being at the other end, you will need to walk down a long hallway to ge to your room. It wasn’t an issue for us, but if kind of felt like school dorms. Staff don’t really speak English and it can be a bit tricky. But they have quite a few international staff working there, which helped, as we really don’t know what we were doing… so having people that could speak English when hiring the ski equipment and clothes helped a lot. A word of advice for anyone staying here. The restaurants are very expensive and not that great. There’s the overpriced buffet, Chinese restaurant and ramen bar. They are only open at certain hours. And there a bar that serves mostly drinks and kebabs. So if you are wanting a snack or something in between meal times, you are stuck with the vending machines and very limited snacks they have in the souvenir shop. Very isolated. If you are coming via Shinkansen and you get off at Nagano - stock up on what you need there - snacks, food, drinks - there’s a grocery store downstairs and shops around the station, including a 7-11. You can also catch the shuttle bus to Ichinose - and get some things from the little convenience store there. There’s a few more restaurants there too, but the shuttle buses start at 5pm.

Our room has beautiful mountain view. It is convenient to hire ski in the hotel. We mainly focus on Yatebi, Ichinose and Okushiga areas. They are all linked so we don’t need to take shuttle bus.

We stayed in the South building. The staff are incredible. Attentive and professional. Food and service was outstanding. Room was small but comfortable. So good having ski in ski out. Godala at the door and we were lucky it snowed and we had good skiing in mid Dec. Only thing I would have changed was to book the 3 bed room for a bit more space and views over the ski field. Bus from Nagano Station was easy to catch with luggage.

Great skiing lodge- ski in/out to slopes. Restaurant served excellent food however it was the only option available during our stay (end of March) and it was expensive and really not suitable for very young children. Also only one shop open with limited food options. Not so great for very small children- we could have purchased supplies to bring in if we had known. Ability to go to other parts of resort limited at this time in the season, Staff were very helpful.

Comfortable but dated.

We found our stay uneventful. I have stayed at this hotel 4 times over the years and it doesn’t change so it is quite dated. There are new doonas on the beds but they are too thick for the heated room. Also, no descent lounge areas for relaxation. But, the hotel has a fantastic location and dining room.

Spent 4 nights and was very satisfied with my stay. The breakfast and dinners were buffet style in a large cafeteria, with a very nice selection of different options each day. The semi-enclosed hot bath (gender segregated) was nice, though the view is restricted only to the very top of the tree line. The ski rental shop staff were very friendly and helpful, and the the facilities were nice. The ramen restaurant was great! Apart from the bath, there was really nothing to do, since the hotel is isolated, but that was to be expected. My only criticism is that there was no gym, which would give people another option to pass the time.

On snow easy access but isolated

A bit over priced, no place to really relax and lounge around apart from the bar which did not have comfy seating vs the lounge areas in many of the other local hotels. On snow access is good and easy access with their bus to the other local Spots

We visited the hotel for a ski trip and loved it all! All three buildings are ski in / ski out, have rental equipment and lift tickets available on site, and provide a great launching pad for a great ski experience. We stayed in the west tower and enjoyed the onsen and multiple on-site restaurants. Would definitely stay again!

Rooms were clean, staff was helpful, location is good. Over all experience was good. Only suggestion is it would be helpful if travellers are provided with shuttle service from bus stop to hotel. Though the distance is less, with thick snow, carrying heavy luggage is extremely difficult. Also request to add some vegetarian food options.

Great location next to the “quad” chairlift

Great location at the bottom of the mountain next to the quad chairlift. Rentals & dining on site. Paid for “half board” and certainly got my moneys worth. Have stayed here before and will definitely be back.
