"This hotel has few reviews on Ctrip and XHS, and its advantages and disadvantages are very obvious.
Advantages:
1. It is a ski-in and ski-out hotel, and the cable car entrance of Norikura Ski Resort is just downstairs from the hotel (Norikura Ski Resort has very few people on weekdays, and there is a super flat family ski slope, which is very suitable for beginners to practice, but you need to do a lift to get up)
2. There are ski equipment rentals and storage boxes downstairs of the hotel, which is very convenient, and guests have their own storage boxes
3. The reservation includes breakfast and dinner, which are all buffets. There are not many categories, and the taste is good
4. The hotel has a very famous hot spring, which is very comfortable to bathe in. There is an open-air pool that directly sees the ski slope, which is very beautiful. If you stay, you must enjoy this hot spring
5. The hotel has a shuttle bus to and from Otari Village Station, and you can choose to take it from this station to Itoigawa Station. From this station, you can directly take the Kita-ji Shinkansen to Tokyo in 2 hours
6. The reservation was for 3 people, and the room given was very large with 2 beds. The bed is small and can only sleep one person, but the tatami can sleep 2-3 people
7. When I checked in, there was a young man who could speak Chinese and introduced the hotel facilities and other details very enthusiastically. I gave him a thumbs up
Disadvantages:
1. The area around the hotel is very desolate. The hotel provided breakfast and dinner for 3 days and 2 nights. Lunch was eaten at the ski resort restaurant at the ski resort. The free soup at the ski resort restaurant was very delicious and had a lot of crabs
2. To go from the hotel to other ski resorts, you need to take the ski resort bus or paid bus at the hotel entrance
3. There are no convenience stores around the hotel"
