The host Mr. Takaoka-san was very welcoming despite on a very last minute reservation (we had to after our previous reservation on Booking.com was cancelled 1 day earlier by the property Petit Hotel & Restaurant Air Mail Hakuba due to overbooking, without any offer for replacement or alternative). To make matter worse we only found out about the cancellation on the evening on the check in date, and we had to stop our car in the middle of the dark to scour for a replacement and lo and behold we found this accommodation nearby.

They have private/individual toilet for each room, but no private/individual shower or bath. To bath you need to use the shared baths.

Location was close to a great onsen. The room was cozy, the futons were very comfortable and the room had nice chairs, tables and useable cups. The art around the place was very interesting, and they had plenty of facilities suitable for almost all types of people, like a free stage concert, childrens room, dining room, etc. The reception man was super nice and spoke a little english, but did most of the reception in japanese. Gave us a full tour of the facilities and was up late to respond to our queries. We could also purchase a few cans of alcohol near the front desk. The receptionist gave us free ice as well. It was only a 30-40 minute drive to the ski resort we went to, and was much cheaper than the places close to the ski resorts. The room heater was warm and we could dry our small clothes on it. There was also a room to dry bigger things and store snowboards it looked like but we didnt end up using it. The reception heater was very warm. Im very happy to stay in a traditional japanese building like this.

The bathroom had cold tile floor but thats just traditional japanese style. The toilets water system took a while to fill with water a couple times which was slightly inconvenient. There was one bug but you tend to find these in old japanese buildings. I think you have to pay a little bit to use the dining room plates and cups, so I just ate my conbini food out of the box.

A very "special place", in every way... Good and warm room upon arrival up here in the cold mountains - extra heater in the room. Spacious "double room economy" and relatively comfortable beds. But, you have to rent towels, it should be included - and the place is spartan. Of course, the best part is that it is right at the bus stop that takes you to Tateyama Kurobe Alpine Route in under 30 minutes - so it made it possible with an early start. That's why I give it an 8.

The property has so much unique activities and rooms that was never experienced before.

Various rooms including table tennis room, massage room, dining room, hall, baby room, onsen, reception, mini shop etc.

The property was incredible, it felt like an old and authentic Japanese home with so many souvenirs collected throughout the years, like a little museum. The view were great and the overall feel was relaxing

The property is a bit old but has the charm to match

Very near to the bus station going to Ogizawa Station for Tateyama-Korube Route Trip. Great service fir luggage forwarding as well. Great location to stay for a night before the Tateyama-Korube Route trip.

The staff is very kind and approachable. The place is clean and quiet. They hve lots of amenities e.g. entertainment room, massage bed, ofuro etc. The rooms are japanese style type. Highly recommended place to stay in Omachi Nagano

None.

The owner was amazing showed us the entire property super nice really great guy over all

Nothing

Helpful staff and owner.

Tatami bed is quite hard for my back. And quite pricy for this condition.

The owner is quite passionate about the building and his collection of old stuff. It was definitely an experience to explore this building with the different rooms and possibility for entertainment (karaoke, table tennis, massage chair etc). It is only a few minutes from the bus stop and therefore works well when you do the Tateyama Kurobe alpine route tour.

FYI: It is an old building with old furnishing and equipment.
