The rooms are very basic, and Japanese style. The Onsen was AMAZING - beautiful outdoor and indoor pools, and use of a sister hotel down the road. Very close to Rusutsu (45 minutes by car) ski resort, which is what we came for. The food was good, although the same thing every day and night. The staff was wonderful. We had dietary restrictions, so they brought us special platters in addition to the buffet. Everybody was so incredibly friendly. Not much to do in the town, but the hotel was so wonderful.
