Hotel Morinokaze Tateyama

One of the more pricey options for accommodations in the area. They provided a shuttle service to and from the alpine station, which is great, as the walking is not was a realistic option as from what I could tell, there was no walkable path to and from the hotel from the station. During my stay, there was not much around the hotel, so we were mostly confined to within the hotel during our stay. Our room was for 4 people and was fairly large. Our room did not have beds but futons instead, which I personally did not like but others did. The breakfast and dinner we got was very nice and most unique meal I experienced during our trip, providing great traditional Japanese food with great variety for both meals. The public baths here were the best during our trip. The baths were large with both indoor and outdoor baths. The Outdoor baths provided great a great view of the mountain which was very nice. they provided yukatas for guests but even the largest men sizes they had were too small for me, but my shorter family members said they were nice. Staff provided explanations and set our schedule for our next days trip to the mountain which was nice. Our stay here was a little pricey, but for the dining experience, good Onsen and location, our stay here was well worth it.

Very good, very limited English. The villa we stayed in was perfect. The hot spring water was wonderful.

Very helpful, friendly front desk staff. Helped us pick out yukata. The room was clean, small and had a portable bathroom installed like on a boat. It was only a standard twin, so I think those are all expected. The view was excellent, as were the Kaiseki dinner and breakfast. It was only an overnight stay before embarking on the Alpine Route, so very acceptable.
