    We enjoyed everything about our stay but only call out is the bathroom is shared. It's really not a big deal, I didn't mind and never felt awkward. Just something to be aware of when booking.

    We stayed at Utopia while going snowboarding. It was the perfect place! Warm and cozy, staff was amazing and super close to the city center. The walk to the mountain was very short. I'd highly recommend this hotel for a fairly budget friendly cozy space to stay. Sadly we didn't get to try the breakfast given our times there but it looked yummy. The front bar was also super cute although we never had a drink there.

    Nothing really. All great.

    The room was way better than we were expecting, and just generally everything from start to finish was so well managed by the staff. Great explanations, allowed us to leave bags slightly early as we arrived before 3pm, and generally speaking everything was super clean and well set up. The vibe in the lobby area was also really nice and we were kinda fascinated by the beautiful fish tank they have there, lol. Honestly we didn’t expect it to be as nice as this from the photos

    Great location near to shops and a short walk to the Nagasaka Gondola and ski rentals. Room was very comfortable and shared toilets and baths were very clean. Extra charge for breakfast, alternating between Japanese and American daily. We tried the Japanese breakfast and it was delicious. Cozy lobby with fireplace and a small bar. Public onsen just across the road, very convenient to just pop over for a hot bath. Accomodation provides basket for soap and shampoo, onsen towel and slippers.

    A very minor feedback: japanese breakfast was only offered on alternate days, it was delicious and would have liked to have japanese breakfast everyday.

    We loved our comfortable room which was large and spacious, with good hanging spaces as well as a strong heater in the room to dry out our clothes. There was an excellent check-in and check-out process which enabled us to enjoy 2 half days on the snow prior to check-in and after check-out. The location of this hotel was optimal as it was close to both the ski lifts as well as the main part of town where all the restaurants and shops are. Loved the cozy facilities like the communal fireplace, bar and in-house onsen. There was also excellent dry room for drying all our gear. 10/10 stay, would come back for sure.
