The Onsen was wonderful and relaxing, staff were extremely friendly and provided services like a pickup/dropoff at the train station and a shuttle to the entrance to the Snow Monkey Park. There was also a great view of the town from our window on the 4th floor.

Hotel housei was my favorite stay in Japan, even after spending triple as much money for some other hotels. The staff is simply amazing, they went above and beyond for accommodation. Kei at the front desk was very helpful in showing me around the hotel & also recommended a restaurant that was one of my favorite I’ve been to. The gentlemen at the front desk even set up a specific shuttle for me to the snow monkey park because I was going to leave before their set time. They took me alone to the park in the morning, and even offered to pick me up and shuttle me back after I had checked out to the train station! Seriously an amazing establishment, I could not recommend them more.

Returned visit. Like this small province. Hotel staffs are friendly and helpful. Cosy and spacious room. Family run ryokan. Provides complimentary shuttle to nearby train station and snow monkey park which is very much appreciated. However, shuttle service from station to hotel will not be entertained after 8pm. It is not a ski in / out hotel. Need to take the hotel shuttle to station to take another bus service to go up the ski station vice versa. Do advise the arrangement of return pick up with the hotel from the station after confirming which timing of bus approaching the station from the ski station. The hot spring is beautiful with the outdoor view. Thank you for the hospitality.

The shuttle bus driver waiting at the station was very friendly and took care of our bags. Arriving at the hotel, the staff greeted us very warmly and quickly got us into our rooms. The superior room was very beautiful and had a fantastic view of the snowy mountains, and the outdoor onsen with the snow coming down and around it was gorgeous and extremely relaxing. We didnt do the meals, but it smelled so good that next time we're definitely including meals in our stay. In the morning, we took their provided shuttle to the snow monkey park and enjoyed ourselves there before we came back. The whole area was very walkable and we loved every minute being there. Only complaint I have is that there is no conditioner in the men's onsen showers. We fully intend on staying here again!

The staff were all pleasant and friendly. The two girls at reception were helpful and spoke enough English to be understood if not used google translate. The Thai man who looked after breakfast was great. The onsens were fabulous and the temperatures alternated between them on different days The room was a good size (one person) a little dated but that was ok The shuttle to the train station was available any time in the mornings and it was only a 4 minute walk back in the afternoon Lots of restaurants close by Breakfast buffet was plentiful with Japanese and western options available Definitely not a ski in/out hotel as advertised on the websites Would recommend if looking for off the mountain budget accommodation

Taking the price per night into account, the hotel was very good value. The furniture and such are quite dated, but they ae kept neat and clean. The breakfast buffet spread is quite extensive. Mostly Chinese items, given most of their guests, but I enjoyed it. The staff was courteous, though communication is a challenge, which is to be expected in this part of Japan. Improvement opportunities- I would like for them to run their shuttle to the train station later into the evening. And second, post a notice on onsen rules in English in the onsen. Not all western tourists are aware of them, as I found out.

There was a shuttle expecting us outside Yudanaka station, even though it's just a 6min walk to the hotel, but much appreciated when you're carrying bags. The place is beautiful and the private onsen: AMAZING (indoor and outdoor). Breakfast was a nice varied Buffet and loved the provided yukatas. Would definitely go back!
