Good location in Zao ski village - just opposite the bus terminal. Friendly and helpful staff, though speak very little English. We chose breakfast and dinner, pre-select from the menu. Both breakfast and dinner are delicious!
Free transport is provided to ski lifts hourly. We have tatami room for 3 persons, quite spacious and great view from the window! Very warm and comfortable place to spend for few days.

The hotel is opposite the bus station. It is very convenient to cross the road when you walk out of the station. It is a 10-minute walk to the train station. The hotel also has a car to pick up guests to the train station. The breakfast and dinner are also delicious and rich.

An older traditional Japanese-style hot spring hotel with excellent service. The hotel staff came down to greet me while I was parking my car. The food and beverages are average, the room is not new but has a sense of space, and you can see a vast landscape of red leaves outside the window. The hot spring is very good, and it also provides guests with free private bathing for one hour.

The visible areas were clean, but there was a lot of dust behind the picture frames. The location was right in front of the bus terminal, so it was convenient to go anywhere. The owner and Mr. Nakai were friendly and helpful, and the maps they provided us with were useful for sightseeing. We were able to use one of the four private baths for free. I tried a sleeping bath, and it was very pleasant because of the strong acidity of the bath. There were plenty of towels, and the yukatas were clean. It was a little difficult to control the temperature in the room.
