We recently stayed at this charming small lodge during our snowboarding trip, and it was an absolute delight! With just around 10 rooms, the atmosphere was cozy and inviting, making it feel like a home away from home. Our hosts, Josie and Jacob, were incredibly friendly and accommodating, ensuring we had everything we needed for a fantastic stay. I can imagine how busy they could be as they almost manage everything that happening, they had made sure they are around for everyone The room was spacious and cozy compared to what you would find in Tokyo at this price point. While the bathroom was a bit tiny, it had a small tub, and we found an optimal spot for our amenities on the TV cabinet. For bathing, we opted for the local onsen, which was decent, and the lodge offered convenient pick-up and drop-off services if you’re not driving. Oh and the TV allows for Netflix and YouTube mirroring. We made great use of this feature to watch tutorial Snowboard video while relaxing. Each morning, we enjoyed a delicious hot breakfast prepared by the lodge. Over our 4-night stay, we had a delightful variety, including pancakes, eggs and bacon, ham and cheese croissants, cereal, bakery, and yogurt. There was also a self-serve corner for tea and coffee throughout the day, perfect for unwinding in the sitting room with friends. The dry room and playroom were spacious and well-equipped. We arrived early before check-in and were able to use the playroom to change and store our gear. The location is fantastic—just a 2-minute walk to Car Park 7, and you can ski down to the base, with lifts starting at 8:30 AM. It’s also easy to ski back to Car Park 7 at the end of the day. Overall, we had a fantastic experience and would definitely recommend this lodge for anyone looking to enjoy a snowboarding trip!
