The owner is friendly & nice. He might give u a serious look/impressive and quick Q & A talk every time. But notice he is actually a jovial person after had a few short chat with him during the stay. The lady staff at the reception counter is very helpful, can see she is practising her english well with us. The senior lady staffs at the breakfast room are attentive and nice. Like that i can parked my rental car. The simple jap & western breakfast are enough to fill our stomach till lunch.

Location was perfect, just outside one of the Akakura Onsen chairlift. View was great (we got the mountain view), onsen availability was helpful in soothing our tired muscles. Emergency food (shops/restaurants open late and close early) was variable and vending machines available. The one time we got breakfast (on the last morning) was fantastic, great spread and a variety of food, and a mix of wester and japanese cuisine. I love the no-shoes policy, keeps it cleaner than most places, and the owner, Daisuke, is such a lovely man, does not have perfect English but can easily converse (which is not common with the Japanese people). He was always helpful and willing to do anything we asked. They also provided a shuttle to and from the hotel, which was great!

Great location. Very close to one of the Akakura Onsen main lifts (night ski). The property offers discounted lift coupons as well! Mr and Mrs Wakui were so accommodating and helpful. Picked us up and dropped us at the train station and help us with any questions. Had a wonderful stay and would rebook!
