This place was perfect. Close to everything, friendly owners who are knowledgeable about the local area, good breakfast, and a nice onsen for apres.

This hotel was definitely retro, but completely well maintained! It was clean, comfortable and the best part was the couple that ran it...they were so loveley and treated us like guests in their own home. They provided us with discounts for rentals and lift tickets and drove us everywhere we needed to go! It's a 10min walk to echoland for restaurants and stores, and a 5min walk to the various bus stops to get to the different mountains. It was quaint and quirky and I would definitely stay here again!

Host was most generous offering transport and advice. Authentic Japanese experience with futons and onsen. Easy access to shuttles for all resorts.
