GGuest UserThe last bus from Biei Station to the waterfall was around 6 PM, and it was already completely dark. Worried about potential issues, I contacted the hotel to arrange a taxi from JR Station. The ride was over 20 minutes and cost 8000+ yen – ouch!
Overall, the hotel is quite old and simple; the lobby, rooms, and hot springs weren't particularly impressive. However, the buffet dinner was extensive, and their homemade curry sauce was excellent – I had several bowls!
The biggest highlights were the snowy forest outside my window and Shirogane Falls, which was just a three-minute walk away. Before 9 AM, it was easy to catch views of the blue skies and white clouds over the valley – absolutely worth it.
