We stayed at this hotel for 10 days and booked a tatami room. The room was large, bright, and came with an air conditioner, fridge, TV, etc., and all the conveniences were in the common corridor. At first I thought it would feel like a pioneer camp, but it turned out to be very comfortable and clean everywhere. The breakfasts were huge and varied, mainly Japanese cuisine (fish, greens, pickles, and something else I didn’t understand). Coffee and tea were unlimited at all times. The onsen was available any time except late at night. The hotel itself sits in a very quiet area between the bases of the ski resorts. You can walk to Iké, or if you try, ride back on a board. Other places are a 5‑10 minute drive. The area has stores with basic groceries (they’re not on the map) and three restaurants with traditional food. But the most important thing is the owners. They do everything to make the stay comfortable. They’ll drive you to the ski slopes and back, greet you and say goodbye, and can take you to the train station if needed. They treated us to food and drinks, gave advice when we had questions, and for that I’m even more grateful.
