We had a large Japanese style room. The onsen was good. Breakfast at the nearby hotel on the way to the ski lifts was a bargain for 980 yen!! It is about a 15 minute walk to the nearest supermarket

The location was excellent. The hotel has a connected pathway to the station building so it easy to move around even on rainy days. Convenience stores, coffee shops, dining options were all within walking distance. The hotel room and toilet was spacious, amenities were sufficient also. I had a comfortable stay here.
