some facilities are quiet old, can consider to renew

This hotel met our expectations. It was very expensive for what you receive, however we understand that it was also peak season and there are no other options so close to the hill. They were very accommodating to my dietaries (gluten free,) which was fantastic. The on site onsen was also a highlight, along with obviously the proximity to the mountain.

The beds are a challenge and there is no night life after dinner.

Excellent location, food, customer service, and onsen.

The beds are a bit rough and there is no night life past dinner.

If you are a die hard snow enthusiasts this place is excellent. The food is great. The onsen is amazing.

1. The dry room is too small to put all the guest's gear. and it has a weird smell.

1. Ski in& ski out. 2. Both breakfast and dinner are very good. 3. Onsen is amazing. 4. Everyone has a private locker.

But beware the shared dorm experience. Your mileage may vary, but will be sharing a space with up to 80 other people...along with the...challenges that brings.

Pretty good value for money. The facilities are great and location is literally unbeatable. Breakfast and dinner were good. Excellent onsen!

This place is for skiing and there is not much around to do besides that. So you basically have to book half-board because there are limited options to buy food or store your own food.

I loved my stay here. The accommodation is at one end of the ski resort building, only a one-minute walk to the slopes and lifts. The dormitory was bigger than expected and was basically one big room with over 80 beds. But it was so quiet, I didn't even need earplugs. Also enough space to store luggage. I enjoyed the food, it was a buffet for breakfast (japanese) and dinner. Going to the onsen after skiing was amazing, especially sitting in the outdoor onsen while it was snowing. Would definitely come back!

No vegetarian options for breakfast or dinner so be prepared to eat a lot of rice with limited food options from the buffet if vegetarian. Considering the accomm cost, the wears and tears could be fixed on the reclining chairs on the 2nd floor relaxation area.

Just at the slopes - great access from Tokyo with a 2.5h bullet train ride+free shuttle bus ride from Kitakami station. The gym and the tattoo friendly hot bath and sauna were nice.

Nothing at all

My best ski in ski out experience. With a small but very decent dry room to store your skiwear overnight. I didn't use the kitchen but cookware are of excellent grade.

I wish we could have the buffet back! They look great in the old pictures from years ago.

The best location for snowboarding, with good service, and a good price!

Breakfast and dinner is included, but a bit boring after 7 days.

Clean and tidy. Great outdoor Onsen.

The place was a little different as you are staying in the day center of the ski resort. A little different but really cool.

You're sleeping in a room with ~90 other people. Bring earplugs. When I stayed, there was a group that was always talking so loudly in the dorm area no matter the time (7a, 10p, etc). I understand they were talking about work (filming something) but they could have whispered or gone to the common areas instead. I found this so disrespectful to the other guests who were trying to sleep.

The bunks are sturdier than I expected and you get your own locker (with key) to stash your valuables. There's a drying room and a place to put your skis/boards, too. As others have commented, breakfast and dinner were included, and while most of the dishes were the same, there was enough variation in each meal that it wasn't so bad to eat for 2 days. They sell alcohol and snacks (chips, chocolate, ice cream) at the front, and there are drink vending machines. You can also nip out into the main resort and visit the 1st floor cafe (open til 10p) for a change of scenery. Aside from the dorm and dining area, there's also a lounge room to relax in with fully reclining chairs and books (mostly Japanese comics but you can find a few other languages if you look). The baths were great and never so crowded you had to wait to shower. They do close for cleaning so be sure to check the hours if you want to take a dip or even wash up. I'm very grateful for the free shuttle that takes you between Kitakami Station and the resort. The schedules and locations were very clearly marked, too!

Everything was good. One thing - from the accommodation area, I had to go downstairs to the toilets.

Proximity to lifts. Cheap price.

It's just a coincidence but I saw a Japanese guy clipping his nails near his bed - nail clippings falling into the carpet directly 😳

Ski in, ski out! Meals are really good and not repeatitive. Nice view from common lodge and open air bath (rotenburo), large sauna! Various meal options in nearby cafeteria. Atmosphere is great.👍

The area is close to a ski resort. This hotel serves breakfast and dinner. There is a lovely view and a great hot spring. There is a staff member who can communicate English to foreigners.
