Sun Members Hirugano

Well presented and maintained smallish hotel with massive teak furniture all around. Rooms clean and comfortable. Near Hirugano Kogen ski park (although not a walking distance if carrying skis and gear) is a bit off the tracks. After a day in the ski fields, spa at level 5 is a great way to end the day. Japanese style dinner, included in the price is an 8-course meal that will stuff you well. Japanese breakfast is as if intended to keep you full until dinner. The restaurant is with chairs and tables, not tatami and floor sitting. I would stay there any time if I need to be in the area, even if it takes 30 minutes to get where I go. That is important, there are 4 near adjacent snow parks in the area (Hirugano, Takasu, Dynaland, Washigatake), unless you are right on the field (as Rainbow hotel in the Washigatake snow park) you would have to drive anyway. Staying in this hotel would probably be a viable option you would not regret to use.

Very nice stay at hotel. I am on a full week motorcycle trip in Japan mountains and this was a great stop. After 8 hours in saddle the onsen was perfect. Food was excellent, breakfast really stood out. The dining area was really nice and with a view. Hotel is clean and although not very crowded, staff was attentive and helpful. I do not speak japanease but that was not an issue. Parking plentiful, wifi was good. Great stop in area of Japan Inhad not been too.

The staff is very friendly and could not have been more accomodating. Within driving distance of Gokayama and Shirakawa-go.
