Reviews
The rooms are rather small and I found some dusts on the furnitures. It would be better if the reception staff can speak better English, I had to go back 3 times because they kept on giving me the wrong room card (they mixed up my father’s room card and mine 3 times!). I appreciated that they offered to give me a fan when I told them the heat was too stuffy.
The vending machines are pretty pricey even for water so it’s better to be prepared.
Onsen is small and the changing area is often quite wet so don’t expect much.
Overall not bad if you want ski in ski out near Tokyo.
A small walk to the town, yet most restaurants are fully booked. End up eating in the hotel for 3 nights. Quite some choices within the hotel, we have buffet, yakiniku and shabu shabu. Snacks in tuck shop will got sold out quickly, suggest to stock up beforehand.
The onsen is a good treat after a long day snowboarding. There are many options of dining but narrow to a few that o find its good, izakaya unagi nosuke, lobby lounge Edelweiss, another izakaya at building no. 6, there is also a cafe with good coffee at building no. 3.
Ski rental at building no. 4 easy n convenient, there are lessons catered to non Japanese speaking in buildingno. 4 too. Will definitely go back again for snowboarding.
Easy to navigate from echigo yuzawa station as there is free shuttle bus provided you have reserved a spot online.
Many food to choose from, you wont go hungry.
Kid friendly, my kids enjoyed their stay and had fun in the snow.
Staff are friendly and can speak english, not very fluent but pretty much understandable. Bring your own AI translator if you must.
Room is pretty much average.
Love the location and the snow experience is 9/10.
Will come back again soon.
