The location is excellent, the owner/manager was really nice as they picked us up and dropped us back off at the train station. We stayed in the one-bedroom apartment and it was fine for 4 people. The layout and facilities more than met our needs (rice cooker, microwave, cooking oil, pans, utensils, etc.).

Having traveled extensively in Japan, this location was unexpectedly not as clean as other places I've stayed. Remnant ramen noodles in the drain in the sink, some hairs/dust on top of the toilet and in the corners of the bathroom, curtains missing some hooks, shoe area already streaked with dirt. In the grand scheme of things, relatively minor, just a little surprising. It wouldn't stop me from staying again; I just think it could be an area of improvement. I also advise them to put hangers in front cupboard so people can put their wet jackets or perhaps a shoe rack so the shoes can be put up and dried.

We really enjoyed our stay. Having a self contained facility for this price was amazing, the even offered room servicing every second day. The staff were so friendly and helpful, helping us make dinner reservations, provide advice etc. and the daily runs to the grocery store were a bonus too.

The biggest down side to the accomm was there were a huge variety of restaurants to walk too, but a taxi into town was only $10-$15 so not really a problem.

great location. near the ski lifts and other rental shops. it has a private entrance as well and it feels really homely! hot water is available and many cooking utensils are also available for use.

the walls are really thin and walking up and down the stairs makes a lot of noises. even walking on the second storey creates so much noise that it affects those who are sleeping below. the hot water for bathing is available for use but not consistent. sometimes while bathing, the water can become cold and i have to wait for a minute or so for the hot water to be replenished again.

It was conveniently located to Tokyu Hotel where we caught all our shuttles to the ski resorts, and also only a few minutes walk to F&B and gear rentals. The space we had was also great for our family of 4, allowing us to dine around a table and play games each night. Having a washing machine, cooking facilities and a strong heater was super handy.

Reception wasn’t always manned which meant needing to use the services of the nearby Tokyu Hotel when reserving a cab outside the hours it was manned. Staff also didn’t have the same knowledge so we had to wait for some of them to come on shift to give us a hand. Daughter also found her bed dipping in the middle.

Cozy lodge with snow at doorstep. The hotel concierge can arrange for drop off or pick up around the area as stores are 15 minutes away. Good 2 door entrance system meant keeping the cold air and wet gear away from the inside of the lodge. Easy for cars to drop us right infront of our door. It was easy for Rhthym rental to collect our gear afterwards. All we had to do was put it on the large door step. The rental shop is only a 3 minute walk away and they can send you to the ski resort for free too. Heating was great for early december weather, especially in the kitchen the heater is really strong. The bedroom has ac for heaters which is ok in early december, not sure if it gets colder. The rental shop is only a 3 minute walk away and they can send you to the ski resort for free too.

A bit musty. The inside of the cupboards need more cleaning and the fan had a lot of dust on top. Kitchen utensils such as pots and pans could use an update. Bathroom rather old. No heater in bedroom but ac type heater. There are no convenience stores nearby. But the hotel can get a van to send you and pick you up most of the time.

The cabin while not huge was well designed and very functional. The kids love the bunk beds and nooks and the carpeted “hidden” crawl space. Equipped with a heater so we were warm and cozy and beds are comfortable.

More are seasonal issue, as we arrived in late april without snow and bare trees. Suppose will be quite different in green season but perhaps more bugs.

Amazing spot for a group, so great to have a kitchen and laundry in the lodge. Easy walk to one of the lifts and ski rentals, onsen and coffee are a quick walk up the road. Staff are lovely!

Can be tricky to get in and out of the main part of town in the winter with heavy snow as there aren’t many consistent public shuttles, but still manageable.

Spacious chalet with good heating, only 10-15min walk to town or they offer free shuttle bus every afternoon to the grocery store. Ski shuttle bus service just across the road and walking distance to the pub and snow hire gear places. Staff are super helpful and informative :)

Little bit dated with furniture and bathroom

Our 2nd time here with a family of 4 (2 toddlers). Large rooms and living room with alot of space for kids to wander. Kitchen was also very useful esp since there's not much lunch options around the area. Our kids loved playing in the soft snow just outside the building. Relatively near to beginner slopes and shuttle bus pick up points.

Bed wasn't the most comfortable and no blinds to block out the sun in the bedroom (means we were all up with the sunrise).

Very pretty location, not far from the ski slopes. Very close to the shuttle bus stop and ski rental shop. The host provides transport to the grocery shop every night and, upon request, picks up and drops off passengers at the Hacuba bus station—fantastic service. Perfect location.
