    It is not ski in, ski out. However it is close to Happo (not the green runs - it’s a hike to the green runs) and you can use the shuttle service to get to the other mountains or the hotel will call a cab. It is a little bit out of the centre of Happo and where the restaurants are. It about a 10minute walk.

    Staff were lovely and the room was massive. The onsen was nice and clean and the gear drying room was great.

    Only minor, but breakfast only beginning at 7.30am was a bit late for us with a kid and those wanting to hit the slopes early. The location just outside town might not suit everyone, but we loved it.

    Great hotel just outside the main Happo area- walking distance to majority of shops and restaurants (even with a toddler) although the shuttle service was handy at times. Easy walk with gear to the Nakiyama chair lift and kids park. Very helpful and friendly owners who go the extra mile to ensure you have a great stay. Excellent buffet breakfast. On site Onsen was very nice and relaxing.

    The hotel needs updating which does not provide the best first impression. The location is out of Happo so be prepared to walk. The shuttle bus helps hugely but compared to other hotels, it is quite isolated.

    The staff. The owners could not have done more to ensure that our stay was good. Shuttle bus, ski school and ski equipment support were particularly helpful. Outstanding is how I would describe their service. Cleanliness. The decor is old but the hotel and the linen is spotless.

    The dining room was not open for lunch and if u just wanted something if u were not heading to the slopes it would have been easier in house.

    Rooms very clean and comfortable, staff were attentive and eager to help. Facilities including Onsen were great especially as I had not ever used one before. Suggestions given to us re eaterys etc in Happa were appreciated.

    The hotel is bit old and hasn't been renovated for some time. The hotel needs upgrading. The location is the main reason to attract skiers but still the hotel looks too old.

    The location is not particularly convenient especially we did not ski at Happo where it suits more advanced skiers. Restaurants are not close without a car.

    Keto San and his wife were exceptionally helpful. Firstly, our room had been upgraded knowing that we had 2 adults and 3 kids. Secondly, the couple assisted us to make reservations for dinner, drove us to the town and picked us up after dinner. Thirdly, they allowed us to use the microwave to heat up our food bought from Lawson and also used the onsen for a shower after we checked out. Overall, the hotel was clean and nicely run, service was exceptionally good, Keto San and his wife were super helpful and flexible. Kids enjoyed the stay so much!

    The room itself - lacking mirror for dressing up, hooks for hanging stuff, shelves for things. There was a huge cupboard that didn’t serve much purpose as it was dark and very very wide.

    The Hosts - Keita and Monica were great! Friendly and helpful. The breakfast was a good spread too. We had dinner there 4 out of 6 evenings and it was good - value for money. I like the onsen facilities too.

    it is well located, though we visited outside the winter season, so it is super quiet and a little out of the way.

    The manager was very helpful and even changed our BF from western to Japanese which were superb.

    Small onsen, but it was still nice!

    It was obvious that property was well taken care of and that cleanliness is the main priority. Room was a great size with typical Japanese bathroom. Beds were comfortable, breakfast was tasty, and staff was extremely kind, and helpful. Monica's knowledge of English was much appreciated as we encountered language barrier earlier during this travel in different hotels. What I liked the most is that it seems like hotel was ran by family and that fact itself made my stay more enjoyable. Staff also helped us with shipping our luggage and they transported us to bus station at 6am! My husband and I look forward to coming back!
