城山温泉

Super close to the ski lift ticket office, standard Japanese room with a sink is good but there is only 1 female and 1 male toilet on the floor, would be too busy if full house as about 10 rooms are sharing . Big drying room on the basement, free breakfast and shuttle to/from Ilyama station. Big TV in room with only youtube anf Neflix. A kettle and a heater in room. Separated Public bath (onsen) for men and women, strange that 7-9pm is the "communal" time on men's side (i.e. female can get in the men's bath during the period that means all have to be in swim suits). Better to have a bin inside the room, for the public bath area, it would be great if put a tissue box there and a clock ((guess it has no battery), also replacing the old hairdryer which is too weak. Staff are all very friendly and the common area has a great mountain view.

You have to change slippers when you entered the hotel. But it was difficult to walk up and down the stairs in them. I even fell down from the staircase because the slippers were just too big for me... The staff knows when we were out and reserve the slippers for us on the step. That’s good. We booked a room without bathroom and toilet. The size is big, but the room itself is actually quite old. The bedsheets were pretty old but i believe they are cleaned. The toilet area is clean. The bathroom (I.e the hotspring) area was excellent. Breakfast was ok. We looked for lunch but the staff didn’t know the restaurants were closed on that day (maybe it was wed?) and we wasted time walking here and there to find lunch. At last we drove 15 mins to another area. Couldn’t book dinner in hotel because it was full, but the staff helped us to book the nearby restaurant which opens at night.
