The hotel had its own toilet but a shared bathroom, which wasn't a big issue for me as who doesn't love an onsen on a cold day. It was a bit disappointing not to have a shower when booking for 3 adults, but overall, the recently renovated rooms were clean, spacious, and very nice to stay in after a chilly day on the slopes.

The hotel is conveniently close to the village chair lift, making it easy to access the main cable car. The rooms, although on the smaller side, were recently renovated, clean, spacious, and perfect for unwinding after a day on the slopes. The staff knows multiple languages and is accommodating, although the credit card machine being solely in Japanese could be a slight inconvenience. The dining experience offers delicious but somewhat small traditional Japanese breakfast options. The location is excellent, being a short walk to the ski lift and close to the bustling center. The facilities are well-maintained, providing a comfortable and pleasant stay.
