"spacious room. Convenient snow gear locker. Nice onsen"

"Even though their lockers for ski in, ski out was down a set of stairs, once you store your items, it was within easy reach of a ski lift. The hotel itself is a bit dated but totally made up for by the convenient amenities and super friendly and helpful staff. The store inside had good selection of basics. While no microwave in the room, they had one in the lobby you can use. Booked a room with private onsen and the view of Mt Yotei was gorgeous! "

"Clean and spacious room. Nice onsen."

"everything is fine"

"What stood out for me was the onsen and the ryokan room we booked. Loved the touch of traditional and modern."

"Highlight was definitely the onsen. This is the best onsen I have ever used in any area of Japan. It's huge, there are so many different options for baths, and the women's open air bath was so beautiful and picturesque in the middle of winter, right next to a snow covered mountain. It was spotless clean and they provide so many amenities. We stayed in a Japanese style room and it was lovely. The different wings weren't actually as spread out as it seemed so nothing was too far away. Buffet dinner and breakfast were great, lots of variety and lots of vegetarian options which I was worried about! Hands down the best spot for Jigokudani and the boardwalk and park trails (most of the trails were closed for winter though). An easy short stroll to the valley and in the other direction cute souvenir shops. Definitely recommend :)"

"Beautiful "

"Super view! "

"The onsen was the best I’ve ever been in. The outdoor “wood spas” with about 10 different minerals and essential oils was absolutely fantastic. My only gripe is that the half board meals are identical day to day. I only stayed 2 days, so I’m not sure how frequently the food items change. I will say the selection is giant. Because I’m used to places that change the food options daily.. I tried to eat through the whole buffet on the first day, trying little bits of everything. Had I realized it didn’t change, I would have just had larger portions of some items and tried other stuff the next day. "
