WE had a fantastic stay , Tob and his wife were lovely hosts. The food was exceptional and Tob was so helpful . We were picked up from the bus stop , the ski lift and taken to the ski lift in the morning. We will stay again sometime.

Julian, Australia

Tob and Yumi are amazing and do everything they can for you. The breakfasts and dinners are fantastic. Cannot recommend Tob's house enough!

Jonathan, Australia

The hosts are very friendly and warm welcome, feeling like staying at a friend's house. House decoration is so cute. Breakfast is great.

Sareelak, Thailand

Wonderful place and delicious food ! The owners (Tob-san and Yumi-san) treated us very well !! They are amazing !

Rafael, Japan

Tobu could not do anything more for us during our stay. He was always friendly and attentive. He drove us to and from the ski field every day and on more than one occasion dropped us off for dinner. Breakfasts were almost always something different and nutritious.

Nathan, Australia

Tob & Yumi just make you feel like part of the family, so obliging with nothing being a problem. Tob San will run you up to the ski slopes, they do a great Japanese breakfast

Donna, Australia

The hosts! Tob and his wife were so incredibly lovely and went to all efforts to make sure our stay as enjoyable as possible. We will definitely be back :)

Marc, Australia

Tobu and Yumi are amazing hosts. Very friendly and helpful. Tobu helped us get discounted passes and was always there to send us to the mountain in the morning and pick us up at night. Yumi made some amazing meals and shared with us her homemade plum wine, jam, etc. The two of them were just amazingly welcoming and warm and really made the stay special. Highly recommended and I hope I have another chance to visit.

Wesley, United States of America

We arrived to a very warm greeting and a delicious 3 course meal. Very comfortable beds and our own bathroom with a downstairs Onsen for male/female made this a great family choice. Although just a ten minute walk to the field tob was always happy to pick up and drop off via a quick text. The other guests were very friendly and this created a ski lodge atmosphere with lots of stories told over meals together .skiing was superb and they have thinned the trees since our last visit making the experience safer and more accessible. Saw lots of ski patrol around in trees filling in holes and keeping it safe. Definitely return here.

Tob and his wife Yumi were amazing hosts. They went out of their way to make us feel welcome. Tobs house is very cosy, nice and warm! It feels as though you are visiting your grandparents for the weekend! Yumi served amazing food for breakfast and dinner every day, and always served with a smile! Tob has a variety of ski gear for us to hire and organised our ski lift passes for us at a very affordable rate. Every day we were dropped off and picked up when suited us to the ski lifts and other places in town. we thoroughly enjoyed our Stay with Tob and Yumi and would love to come back again!

It is hard to express just how great this place is. Tobo and his wife are absolutely perfect hosts. They are warm, welcoming, and do absolutely everything to help you enjoy your stay. The house is very close to the skiing area and restaurants, but Tobo will gladly drive you to and from the ski lifts. The breakfast served at the house is excellent and the rooms are clean and cosy. My stay was absolutely perfect, and the price is very reasonable as well.
