The location was absolutely breathtaking, we visited in autumn but I'm already planning my next visit for winter! The staff were so lovely and accommodating, not everyone spoke perfect english but they make a genuine effort to make us feel welcome none the less. I loved the onsen, we used the private and public facilities and found them so relaxing. We ate in the restaurant every morning and once for dinner, the food was so well done and we loved getting a taste of the local cuisine. Seriously 10/10 its not the cheapest stay but it is worth the price.

The onsens were great! Both the outdoor and indoor one. The room was spacious having a toilet and bathroom. Staff were very nice and had free toiletries. Lots of amenities such as a kitchen and a big area to relax and eat. There is also a massage experience available, however you need to book in this at the front desk.

Absolutely amazing location, snowboard right to the front door! The room we booked was a twin room with private ensuite and it was spacious and had everything we needed. Bed was really comfy but the pillow not as much.

Fantastic location, right on Uwanodai slope - actual ski-in ski-out. Host was extremely friendly and helpful, the food in the restaurant was great and good value. Nice draught beer! Shower in room with a shared hot bath that could be booked for free. There's a ski/boot room in the basement that opens onto the slope. The decor is a bit dated but in a very charming way.
