員工們服務很熱情 房間小小的但蠻溫馨,地熱蠻溫暖 廁所暖風機很強,可以晾乾雪衣跟裝備 走路一小段就可以到雪場,蠻方便

床太軟了,睡醒容易腰酸背痛 早餐選項較少,點培根和蛋要加價 無提供烤箱微波爐,僅有飲水器熱水

Ideal spot for price-conscious skiers, very friendly and accommodating staff

Clean, conformable and exactly what you want from a foreign-run lodge in Japan ski resort

Room and bathroom v small (but still v comfortable and had small balcony) with v little space to store kit and clothes; no one mentioned (til we came to check out) what breakfast items were and were not ncluded in the room price.

9.0

Staff were very helpful and made it easy to ski everyday, with a lovely breakfast and lifts to and from the slopes on days we weren’t up for walking (10-15 mins with kids). Room was very comfortable.

Dryer wasn’t great but still managed to load of washing.
