During meals I got to chat a lot with the owner, and since we were the only guests we basically had the place to ourselves (lol). He answered all our questions about nearby sights, restaurants, and even personal matters with great care—thanks, I wish we could have talked more! It was fun. The shower started lukewarm and later turned to lukewarm water; we were fine in summer, but it might be tough in winter (lol).

The place had a cozy B&B vibe and the bed linens were comfy. It’s a bit of a walk for those without a car, but the shuttle covers that. It’s ideal for younger travelers, and the owners are passionate about what they do.

Nice spot, good lodge, they really try to make it nice. Unfortunately their snow machine broke and we had to park somewhere down the road.

Breakfast was Western‑style, enough to fuel a morning of skiing, and you could chat with friends from around the world while eating. The host offers daily shuttle to the slopes, with the number of trips based on guest count. The lodge has a heated storage room for skis and snowshoes, plus basic stretching and relaxation gear. The host is a certified snowboard instructor and backcountry enthusiast, speaking Japanese, English, and Mandarin. The room has a private bathroom and a Western‑style bed, and the price is very attractive. The Ban‑O Plateau ski area offers plenty of backcountry forest runs with no avalanche risk, making it worth it for lovers of forest backcountry who care about safety.
