Best Hotels in Iiyama

Stayed here for three days for skiing. The hotel facilities are old and the rooms are not big, but the ski resort is good.

Good location. Nice onsen. Overall it is still the most ideal hotel in Madarao

Although it is the official hotel of the ski resort, it does not located in a best "ski in ski out" place, you literally need to take a very slow chairlift to come back hotel after you finish the run in the main area at the end of the day

The hotel is right next to the Banwei Plateau Ski Resort, a ski in and out ski resort. There are many restaurants and bars near the hotel, which is very suitable for friends or families to come and play

This place is fantastic for skiing at Madarao Mountain! It's right on top of the mountain, so you wake up to the beautiful view and ski down first thing in the morning. The room view is also amazing!

There are also parking spaces outside the hotel for self-driving people, which is also very convenient for self-driving tours

She went out to her way to ensure that we had a great time. The other staff members were the same, friendly and efficient. Nothing was too much trouble. The hot indoor/outdoor bath was so good after a day in the snow

Breakfast & dinner were excellent. Kids play areas off the dining. Bar staff always available for a drink & great coffee in the morning

There are a few great places to eat near by but we found eating in was just too good. The karaage chicken was still the best we’ve ever had! The onsite onsen was amazing! Outdoors, surrounded by snow

It’s taken me too long to write this review but I couldn’t not! This was our first trip to Japan & certainly won’t be our last. I booked this hotel based on reviews & they lived up to them all

The location is great, only a short walk to lifts, the food was excellent & Lisa went above & beyond as a host. As a family of 4 we stayed in the family room. Plenty of room, very comfortable beds & pillows

I have already rated this property. We could not have had a better stay. The room was spotless the staff were fantastic and the amenities very adequate.

This hotel run by married Japanese couples, provided good service, including transportation to and from the ski area. Also, they provided additional service for breakfast and dinner that are both delicious!

The price was excellent and included three meals a day (including a packed bento box for the trail). Accommodation was simple, but clean and comfortable

They are close to the lifts and will drive you there. The nearest town Iiyama has a Shinkansen stop, and they will pick you up and drop you off. 30pm and got to Iiyama around 8pm, so we didn’t have to stay anywhere else

They know the trail well, so we’re able to suggest a sensible order to walk sections 1-6 to take into account our energy levels. They had already obtained the trail book and maps in advance which we bought from them

We stayed here 10 nights to hike the shin etsu trail. It was recommended by another operator. It’s a fantastic place to stay. Great food (and plenty of it), really reasonable price, comfortable beds, etc

It was a wonderful experience for us and the only way we’d practically be able to do the trail which you can’t do by public transport. It’d also be a great place to stay in winter for skiing

Additionally, we left a very meaningful personal item at the hotel. The staff was so incredibly kind to find the missing item and mail it to us. It meant the world to us that they went to so much trouble

Ski lodge situated at the top of Nozawa Onsen village. The lodge comprises a dry room, lobby, dining room and TV area on the first floor. All guest rooms are on the second floor

Rooms come with breakfast and the hotel offers a free shuttle bus to the gondola, into the village and pick up and drop off for check in and check out. The rooms are spacious with luggage and hanging space

Location is great between the courtesy bus and local shuttle buses it makes easy to get around

I personally found everyone extremely helpful as I was injured in this trip and they have really gone out of their way to assist me! Spacious common area to play a family game or have a drink together

Wonderful place in a perfect location very close to town. Rooms well heated, great lay out and lounge area - I felt so relaxed there. Staff were very friendly and helpful

Really good ski resort with lovely small village. It is a calm and relaxed place probably not the best for partying. Ski resort has some really nice and runs.

The rooms : we had five beds with a mix of Japanese and very comfortable western style mattresses with comfy pillows. Breakfast : amazing and changed every day. Snowboarding : well!!! Amazing

Friendly staff. Good facilities and close walk to lifts.

Central apartments staff so friendly Jess was lovley could not do enough for you. Very clean great location to ski feild restaurants. Starter pack for breakfast was a nice touch eggs bread cearl

Special thanks to Saki , Akira and the rest of the polite and attentive staff for making our trip unforgettable. For dinner or lunch I’d strongly suggest “sparina” (the paid onsen)

Villa Nozawa was a really great place to stay for the few days we were there. Prices are cheap when considering there are ski lift packages, and rooms are a very comfortable size

Very good location. Just a few steps from the bus stop. The lodging is reasonable for its price too. The food is also good if u do not want to eat dinner outside.

The Japanese-style room is about 10 tatami mats in size, and the sink and toilet are shared, so I don't think young people would stay there. It was a Showa-era retro inn with an image similar to a guesthouse

The free-flowing hot spring in the indoor bath was too hot to get in. I went to the outdoor bath, Oyu, in the morning, but since Nozawa Onsen is a free-flowing bath, the water was too hot and I couldn't get in either

I traveled by car to Matsunoyama and Matsudai to tour the rice terraces. There were no business hotels nearby, so I stayed at Ikemoto in Nozawa Onsen. 9,800 yen for a room only is a bit pricey

I guess Nozawa Onsen is a hot spring inn that caters to group ski and snowboard tourists in the winter, so it's viable as a hot spring inn

We made good use of the gym and private baths downstairs

Another highlight was Hardings Cafe in the hotel lobby downstairs… excellent coffee, great breakfast / lunch menu… and they also do a tapas dinner on certain nights which you shouldn’t miss

There are private onsens onsite, but there is a really great free public onsen right next door which we found great fun and a chance to interact with some of the locals (and if you have been to Nozawa before you will know that there are plenty of free onsens dotted through the village)

Overall, an excellent hotel/apartment complex. Be sure to check out Nozawa outside of winter as well - there are some excellent walks and it has a super chilled vice

The kitchen sink is out of this world and the cooking range won’t look out of place in a space shuttle. One of the managers, John Claude, deserves a special mention for excellent service

The restaurant downstairs, "Hardings" is run by a Australian/Japanese couple who do outstanding food, the breakfast is really great, so too the pastries, sausage rolls and pies (just on the off chance you may need some 'western comfort' food)

Very impressed, everything was prepared in the room, and there were also things provided, very good value.

The onsen within the hotel is very nice with good facilities, and the staff are very helpful. Not too far a walk to either ski slope and just off the main street in town

We stayed 2 nights in this hotel and had a fantastic time. Great location, right in the center of town and 3 minutes from the bus station. Very clean, confortable beds, and the onsen is perfect too

Great location, just off the main road. About 10 mins walk to travelator. We stored rental skis and boots at rental shop at top of travelator. We had a western room with 6 beds and kitchen

An amazing little place to stay, absolutely loved it. The rooms were spacious and well decorated - you could easily live in them. Breakfast materials provided were substantial

The TV also had and Apple TV box that allowed me to surf the net and watch a lot of things. The hotel is 3m from the bus stop and 7mins from the slopes

You can book a ski shuttle to take you to the gondola terminals and they run every 20 minutes from 8. To get a place on the early shuttles you need to book by 7. 30 am the morning before (especially on powder days)

First thing to say is the service is excellent and makes up for the slightly rundown and older elements of the hotel. Our room was authentic, spacious and functional for a ski holiday

The breakfast was simple and changed slightly every day for some variety. The staff were great, very friendly and helpful. I guess that might vary from season to season but it really made a difference to our stay

It was certainly spacious with a modern shower and separate washroom and separate toilet. The room had a heater which also acted as a drier with a very convenient hanging rack situated above the heater

The room also had coffee and tea making facilities and a small bar fridge. The room also was supplied with plenty of extra futon mattresses for those that like a little more padding

In terms of location it was a 7 minute walk from Chou Terminal the main bus terminal, 5 minutes from the centre of town and around 5-10 minutes to the two gondolas

I feel like we got the best surprise as I was unsure what we were expecting. The room space is cozy but just enough for a family. The service is exceptional, the staff are friendly and helpful

Best hotel ever, highly recommend to all friends, especially for the families with kids, child friendly!

The buffet breakfast is really good and dinner was exceptional with many courses and changing everyday

The dinners were incredibly generous every night. The room temperature was just right, heated by AC but never cold. The staff were very welcoming and helpful

Great little hotel. A tad far from where you need to catch the bus to the ski slopes. Other than that, would recommend this hotel. Great service, food really good. Rooms nice and clean, great for families.

Loved the hotel and onsen Loved the food and staff Perfect location Authentic Japanese hotel

Staff were so helpful regarding any of our requests including recommendations and organising ongoing luggage delivery. We would return in a heartbeat

They stayed on a Sunday night, so when they tried to order breakfast for Monday, the cafe was unfortunately closed. The morning market wasn't open either, of course

Our premium 2-bedroom apartment was everything we'd hoped for and more. Spacious, well appointed, clean and inviting. The wood chip fire was amazing

This hotel was excellent in all aspects: value for money, location, service, and cleanliness. Nozawa Onsen has many outdoor baths, so all you need is a place to stay with a clean and comfortable shower

Location was as a good as I have had in Nozowa - right in the heart of the village overlooking prime Noz attractions

The welcome provisions were such a lovely touch and really set the tone of the whole Tanuki experience (cafe, coffee shop and restaurant). Location was easy to access the moving footpath to the slopes

We had a kaiseki dinner on the first night which was at a very reasonable price and every dish was so nicely presented and delicious. We particularly enjoyed the homemade umeshu

Out first time as Canadians in Japan with a family of 4 (two teens). Nozawa was recommended to us by a friend who lived there for awhile

Staying in a traditional ryokan was one of the best decisions we made on our holiday. We were treated like members of the family by Ko and the staff the entire time

I suspect that many ryokans in the area provide similar services, but I can say we all loved this place. The food was excellent and had enough variety of everyone in our family from adventurous to picky eaters

The location is good with a short 5 minute walk to the main part of town and a 5 minute walk to the moving walkway to the base of the mountain

What's your time worth? Kiriya's location in town is perfect. Everything in the entire town is walkable. There are many food stops nearby to try. I recommend the small izakaya right on the street down from Kiriaya

The morning buffet was delicious and I was very satisfied! I was also able to easily enjoy the orange juice and self-service coffee at the front desk, which was great. I was able to start my day feeling refreshed.

Hotel route in central Nakno this was an awesome place to stay we used this hotel as our base for the week, with several ski resorts to choose from, within 30 minutes or less drive away, the staff were friendly and helpful, willing to go the extra mile to ensure that your stay is a memorable one, rooms are standard size, with mod-cons split system air/heating USB ports for charging up electronics etc...

No issues ba ourr check-in, where they couldn't find our booking made month earlier via trip. com and kept us waiting in the foyer for 90 mins

This location is also good for driving out to the various ski resort in Nagano

The welcome drink, apple juice, was delicious. The self-service coffee was also delicious, thanks to Doutor. Breakfast was also very good.

Great no frill hotel with clean and functional room for a comfortable night. The location is good if you are driving and many restaurants and supermarkets are all within 10 drive away

The room was spacious for two people at 29 square meters, and it was clean and functional, so we were very satisfied

This was a very nice resort, especially the illumination show. The rooms were spacious compared to other Japanese hotels, the food was excellent with great service and our overall experience was good

Myoko First of all, the views of Mt. Myoko from the room, the large communal bath, and the open-air bath are spectacular. If the weather is good, it's an exceptional stay

Near the hotel there is a beautiful landscape, mountains and forest. Good breakfast, lots of different fruits, European and Japanese cuisine.

Very nice view from your room. Will come back again

Amazing views and very relaxing atmosphere.

Their outdoor onsen is beautiful during snow. But the place is old but well maintained. And for me, unlike other reviews, nobody offered me transport to the monkey park, they said no staff

The hosts were extremely polite and welcoming. They explained all the house rules in detail and kindly recommended great places to eat nearby

The place was spotless, warm, and very comfortable for an overnight stay with my husband and our two kids. We would definitely come back

This place was a very cute, homely, with a family owned ryokan vibe. We had a nice spacious room, the biggest we had in our whole trip to Japan, with beautiful views of the surrounding mountains

We would have loved to stay longer, but we had to return to Tokyo right away to catch our flight

The staff (owner?) was friendly and spoke to us in English. They had a place ready for our luggage before check in so we could go to the Snow Monkey Park first. We enjoyed our traditional stay

The breakfast was also very good, and the room was sizeable. This was our favourite stay in Japan

Tawaraya is a very nice Ryokan and Onsen in the small town of Yudanaka. While not very distinctive from the outside, the interior is very quaint

There are both a male and female only indoor onsen where you can shower and bathe from 1600 - 0900 daily. In addition there is a beautiful outdoor onsen surrounded by rocks and a Japanese garden

The temperature of the onsen is perfect. Hot enough to be comfortable, but not too hot so you can't stay in! There are also slightly cooler sections of the pool or areas to sit partly out of the water if desired

Go down the hill to the SE 1 block, turn right at the first traffic light at the bottom and then 2 blocks to find it on the right. There is the name in English on the door. The staff also speak English

, plus an additional hot-pot you use to cook an additional dish provided. Very yummy and filling (and I'm not usually a fan of Japanese breakfasts - but each one we had was different and satisfying)

The facilities are a bit old, and the public bath's hygiene was just so-so. The location is good, but dinner was also mediocre.

The room was very large and comfortable. What made the place great was the ping pong table, mini pool table. Once you understand the onsen process it is pretty easy. Note: restaurant is by reservation only

We really enjoyed the ryokan; we stayed for one night. The dinner buffet was particularly great, with crabs, fish, hot pot, beer, and sake. Breakfast was also quite good

It's also possible to extend your stay for 1000 yen per hour, which is super convenient when traveling with a child. The hotel corridors aren't perfectly clean due to age, but the room itself is clean and pleasant

There's an onsen, and we booked a 30-minute slot and went right away. I didn't get a chance to visit the public baths

Dinner snow crab dinner is worth the price. Also cash only needed do the hotel tax due at arrival

The WiFi was good enough for a Microsoft teams call with zero lag whatsoever. I had a wonderful stay here and if I am back in the area I will stay again

Very good ryokan, friendly owner, near to Snow monkey park, good view

Great onsen and dinner The room shows some age but it’s comfortable. The public onsen is very good with an indoor pool and an outdoor one for both men’s and women’s spas. We have the half board option with our room

The onsen was extremely hot and had an absolutely gorgeous view. The older couple that runs it were incredibly kind and hospitable to me, including a shuttle to the Monkeg Park and Yamanaka Station free of charge

They serve our dinners in a private room. The food was great and staff were friendly. Breakfast was served buffet style and has a good variety of food. They also offer rides to Snow Monkey park and the train station

I was later than their last check in and they accommodated me and even made a multi course traditional Japanese meal at 9pm, the food for breakfast and dinner was delicious

The baths in the ryokan are beautiful and so nice! Would recommend and would come back!

Exactly what you would expect. Tatami mat rooms with shoji doors. Dimly lit halls with wood floors, steep staircases and dusty old mementos on display. The halls and any room without a hearer were incredibly cold

Excellent Ryokan located in the center of Shibu Onsen, right at the bus stop. The hotel is very typical and traditional, run by the Takimoto family. The private Onsen are excellent and very well maintained

Has to keep the heater on in our room all night it was so cold and zero insulation—again exactly what is expected in a place like this

Everything perfect, top welcome and services! We went during the winter with snow and we did not suffer from the cold inside the rooms. Very good and very rich dinner!

Amazing! We had a wonderful time here and I wish we could have stayed one more night. The service is excellent and the food is as well

All of them are awesome and there is no need to reserve, we tried all 6 of them + the 9 public baths in Shibu Onsen nearby. The meals are very good, great service and hospitality

We stayed here with my parents. So many variety of Onsens. Very good service. Staffs are very nice. Building itself is old, but overall we had very good experience. Thank you very much.

We stayed for 2 nights at a room without bath. When we arrived we were a bit concerned because it looks old, but after settling in we found this ryokan to be excellent

There are many baths to choose from here, so you have lots of options, but I highly recommend getting a room with a private bath so you can hop in and out as much as you like! The food was excellent traditional Japanese style and they give you so many different dishes to choose from it can be a bit overwhelming, but everything is delicious

1 of the evening there was a geiko performing show, we had such a good quality time

food was good and the experience was perfect

Honestly the cold milk really made my day!! 🥰 Air conditioning was very effective considering the size of the room and the breakfast was too much to finish and offered a taste of everything Lastly you are on top of the onsens as soon as you step out and monkey park is a 25 minute walk north but talk with the Owner, she has a link to the Monkey security cameras so can tell you ahead of time if theres...

The Yumoto Ryokan is great for a stop to relax a bit. One gets access to the 9 Onsen in the village and can take a dip in every one, or take a small hike to see the Japanese macaques that like to relax in an Onsen

Best part is the private onsen. Pick up the key for private onsen from reception if it’s there and use for up to 30 mins at a time. Go back again as much as you like

Worth every penny, beside the awesome amenities I was led to expect from description, the staff was also extremely welcoming and went the extra mile - the proprietess even drove us to the train station in the morning.

We had a wonderful stay and truly enjoyed every moment. The hostess is incredibly welcoming and a genuinely lovely person — she even kindly drove us to the train station, which we deeply appreciated

Generally, the provided food was delicious and rooms where clean, spacious and quite the experience, with Tatami floors. One really felt like transported back in time and as a traveler in the past

When a taxi booking to Shiga Kogen fell through due to heavy snow, the owner personally drove me there, which I deeply appreciated. He also printed out the bus schedule and made sure I knew exactly how to get back

Awesome location for visiting Jigokudani Park (snow monkeys in hot springs) but otherwise isolated. The room was very spacious, especially considering i was a solo traveler

Finally, while this is close to shibu onsen, it is not part of it and shibu onsen is about a 30 min walk away and you don't have access to the public baths there (to do the 9 bath crawl)

The private onsen attached to the room was unexpected and must appreciated. The food was the highlight of my 2 night stay

Also the building is pretty old with commensurate insulation so i was pretty cold all the time except for when i was cozy in my futon or in the onsen (and for about 30 mins after)

I'd been to other food forward ryokans elsewhere before and while they were fancier, the food at Jinpyokaku Honten was better or maybe just more suited to my tastes

The Japanese Royal family comes here! Spouse made excellent choice to book this gem of a place for our Snow Monkey visit (5min walk to START of 30min trail to monkey park)

The hotel room was much bigger than expected. The service was excellent and the Japanese breakfast was most tasty

Perfect place to stay! Location is really good, it’s easy close to the snow monkey park and bus station. Hotel is beautiful and authentic. Breakfast and dinner were amazing

The private onsen wasn't as good as the public bath! Also, there was no shuttle to Yu no Kuni after 12 PM

The facilities are a bit dated, but considering I've stayed here multiple times across two generations, it maintains a certain standard. Plus, there's a fantastic indoor heated pool. I've stayed here twice already

Loved my stay in this japanese style hotel: traditional room with a great view to the mountains, very stylish public spaces, enormous dinner and breakfast. You can walk right from the hotel to the monkey park.

we had an amazing 5days family stay: the room was spacious for three, the food in both restaurants excellent. being straight in the slope, with a walk-through ski-room is very convenient

The downside is that the bathroom is brand new, but my room smelled a bit like horse manure. In summary, although it is deep in the mountains, it is comfortable and good to live in

We had a great stay at the Okushiga Phoenix Hotel. The Italian dinner was simply perfect, the onsen was wonderful and relaxing, and the staff were consistently friendly and professional.

It was in good business condition. I booked a top-floor room with an area of ​​42 square meters. It was sunny and had a mountain view. The room pictures had not been updated, but it had actually been renovated

amazing place to stay for winter, great skiing and snowboarding rental area and great slope, the hotel restaurants are super nice, on the expensive end but worth it! recommend the Japanese restaurant! the hosts are nice and the rooms are very comfortable

There is no business or convenience store here. It is recommended to book a plan that includes breakfast and dinner, which is very cost-effective. There are 2 restaurants, one Italian and one Japanese, as well as Chinese

So we spent 5 days in this hotel & loved it. We enjoyed an empty hotel, zero queues, excellent snow. 90 minutes by bullet train from Tokyo and then 90 minutes by bus. The hotel is truly ski in & sort of ski out

Spend the w/e’s in Tokyo and on Sunday afternoon or Monday morning take a bullet train to one of the 100 to 200 ski resorts by bullet train 2 hours outside Tokyo and you will have the place to ourselves

I found the ski rentals good enough for an advanced skier. Pleasingly the hotel provides good ski lockers so of a morning it’s easy to gear up & ski out to get on a lift. I have no complaints about the hotel

A Japanese Australian gave me excellent advice

For instance: First, There is a ski mat in the beginners area but they never turned it on! After watching my novice partner spend 45 minutes of the first hour trudging up a gently slope with her ski instructor to learn how to do “pizza skis” down I asked why it wasn’t working

Secondly, from the bottom of Okushiga Kogen you cannot ski from the beginners lift to the other more advanced lift even though it’s downhill! You have to trudge across a flat & up a small slope because of the way they have roped off the areas

Great location with superb views from the room window. The breakfast and dinner buffet spreads were excellent. Although there is no private shower in the room, the shared shower facilities were clean and well maintained.

Prime hotel that has premium facilities, rooms, onsen and service. The hotel provides shuttle to various ski resorts in the Myoko region and has a good breakfast buffet

The stay was absolutely comfortable. Good onsen and nice breakfast. Bedding was solid as well. The friendly staffs also assisted with restaurantsreservations too.

The hotel is also not far from the ski resort, about a 10-minute drive away. Overall, the hotel offers excellent value for money

The buffet dinner is not very good and relatively over priced for what was served

Coin operated laundry/dryers were very useful. The lobby floor has a nice coffee shop, serving fresh baked goods, and a small The North Face shop, in case you need to upgrade your ski gear

Kaiseki is fine, and the quality is excellent, suitable for Chinese palates. The special kaiseki I chose for an additional fee the next day was terrible, with a heavy sugary sauce that made it unpleasant

The room also had a slight odor due to the high humidity, which exposed the room's shortcomings without the beautiful view. The air conditioner was too loud, and the toilet was difficult to flush

The buffet has a wide variety of dishes and good taste, while the set menu is average, but the view is beautiful. I booked a room with breakfast and dinner included. Dinner was served at Shirakaba

Aqua Dining is located in the Premium Building, with windows on three sides, offering a fantastic view. The food, both the white corn and scallop appetizer and the wagyu steak main course, exceeded my expectations

It takes over five hours by car, but when I arrived and took in the views from the lobby, my room, the Aqua Terrace, and the open-air bath, I thought, "Akakura Kanko Hotel is truly amazing

This is my favorite hotel, and I think my July stay was my 10th. Because it's far from Tokyo, I usually stay here once or twice a year, but this year I stayed back in June and July

The hotel has Onsen, a very good facility. The hotel is very close to the Akakura Onsen Ski Area and within walking distance, only 8 minutes walk

The exterior looks old and dull, but the interior is in good condition, and the lobby is spacious and bright, with a panoramic view of Mt

We visited the onsen after every day of skiing as well! Everyone at the hotel was very friendly and helpful, but Mizuki stood out in her customer service abilities. She should be the customer service manager

We were always greeted with a smile. She helped with our check-in, coordinated our transfer to the train station, helped with dinner reservations, lift ticlets & gave lots of great recommendations

The pancakes were delicious! Mizuki at the front desk of hotel Taiko went above & beyond to ensure that we were happy throughout our stay.   Every interaction with her was warm and welcoming

This traditional Japanese onsen hotel is perfectly located an 8 min walk to the closest ski lift & right by the main street. Breakfast had both Japanese & Westrn options

Good location, but small and old room. Overall still quite good. Recommended for ski in ski out

My ski pants broke on the trip and we went to so many different shops in shigakogen but only found 2 shops that sold a very limited selection of ski pants - Restaurant St Christophe (at Okushiga) and Snowcan Ichinose Diamond shop

service and environment is good, however too expensive, i would expect better facilities for this price

Ski gears quality are quite good in hotel rental shop. Room is small if u choose the cheapest type of room

Another thing was that we had the room at the end of the corridor which the furthest away from the lift- it was a long walk to the lift, around 100m. It’s better to request for a room near the lifts (lifts are not noisy)

Breakfast and dinner buffets were pretty decent - there was a wide variety of foods to choose from. The west building was conveniently located near two chairlifts and we could head to different ski areas easily

Kogakuro Onsen was one of the best hotel experiences I have had

The best was the fluffy thick pancakes with the lightest of whipped cream - get in early for them! And at the end of the day - the hot mineral spring Onsen

Located close to the main street of Myoko, Kogakuro has the perfect mix of sophisticated customer-centric service and warm inviting generous cultural hospitality

Mieko and the team were wonderful and make your trip easy and very special. The rooms were spacious with delightfully simple Japanese furnishings

Super relaxing while the minerals work their magic on muscles and joints. Not to mention the added bonus of soft skin after

Breakfast was everything you need for a day of skiing - a wide choice of Asian, European and US style food

Kaz and his wife are amazing hosts. Everything was excellent!! Going back next jan without a doubt.

Fantastic place, they looked after us very well and location was great — ski in and ski out.

Kazu's mum's homemade blueberry and apple conserve are to-die for! Lovely sitting by the fire at night after a long day on the slopes. Good sized rooms with comfy beds

If anyone wonders, Booking dot com currently has little reviews because they removed this listing due to inactivity on their site (Covid! Foreigners couldnt enter JP but they were running via local booking sites) You probably won't regret staying here^^

they even picked us up in the middle of the night when our car got stuck in the snow! Very authentic breakfast is served in the morning, and they offer a discount ski ticket and lunch voucher redeemable on the mountain

If you're looking for an authentic Japanese experience, this is the place to be. This lodge has been in operations for over 40 years. Kaz and Moko, the hosts, are amazing. They're very kind, helpful and hospitable

The room is big. The service is good. Dinner is ready when you come back from skiing.

You need to book breakfast and dinner! Otherwise there is nowhere to eat, the hotel's dinner is very good! I went skiing specifically, right in front of the Ichinose Snow Resort, the location is great! The hotel has history!

The good thing is that the dinner is very rich. The dishes are changed every day. The taste is satisfactory but the quantity is large

The location of the hotel is very good, ski in and ski out of the ski resort

What I am not satisfied with is the breakfast, which is too American. There is nothing to eat, and there is no food after 8:15. I stayed for several days and the bacon was gone every time

It is very convenient to ski, ski-in, ski-out, and rent skis. Although the quality of the skis is average, the price is affordable. You can exchange ski tickets across the street
