The place was at an ideal location, staff was nice. Helpful. Good value for money. You get all you expect from a tatami room for that price

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

    Wonderful hot baths, great location surrounded by restaurants and nature and a short trip to the monkey park. The best part was the owner who is super kind.

    The hotel is somewhat modern and has a touch of the traditional onsen hostel which is neat and quiet. You can tell there are more foreign customers than the locals. The room is right in size and we enjoyed the Mountain View. The stay was comfortable and we had a good sleep (not all Tatami is comfy in my experiences). The onsen was always empty and we decided not to book the private pool as the public one is almost like a private (maybe it’s an off-peak season?)

    Room was traditional and beautiful, great location to experience the onsens and the snow monkey park, with a helpful free drop off. We had breakfast and coffee in the restaurant and it was really nice. Staff were so helpful, especially the lady at breakfast :) One of our favourite experiences in Japan!

    Great location, they collected us from the train station, and dropped us up to snow monkey park and collected us. Dropped us back to the train station when we were leaving

    Great budget rustic authentic experience. Ability to have a private onsen at the hotel as well as the hotels separate onsen. Hint- male side is heaps better than female side. Jealous. Proximity to snow monkeys , onsens and quaint onsen town all great. Not luxurious but rooms large still great

    I've stayed here before and it's in a great location. Two-walk in restaurants on the 1st floor makes things very easy.(but best to book) The ski room is very good and spacious.

    This is a fantastic place to stay. I had some awesome conversations with the people in the hostel room. The rides to the train station were a big help. Walking around the small town was a great experience.

    Great location opposite a ski lift and lunch location. Access to cheap lift tickets. Rooms were on the larger size for Japan and there was ski hire and storage downstairs. On site onsen and cafe/restaurant. Complimentary tea and coffee near reception. Dinner in the main restaurant was traditional and delicious. Staff were very helpful.
