“In my opinion, this hotel stands out for its direct access to the ski lifts and the unique draw of its sulfurous onsen, offering both indoor mineral springs and open-air baths. I appreciate the blend of Western-style rooms with traditional Japanese futon bedding, creating a comfortable, culturally rich experience. Though dining options in the immediate vicinity are limited, the in-house Japanese breakfast buffet is a definite highlight.”
