“This hotel enjoys a prime spot in Iiyama, right at the base of the slopes, which I found appealing for maximizing ski time. It's an established property with its own onsen and ski rentals, a practical choice for families or anyone prioritizing convenience on a ski trip. I especially appreciated the vegetarian and vegan options at the restaurant, a thoughtful touch that stands out in the area.”
