Incredibly clean and hygienic place, I’ve stayed there before and loved it! Super close to the ski resort, onsen visit is included, they have storage for your ski/ snowboard equipment as well as free laundry. The showers are amazing as well as the room heaters. I love staying here and I will be returning next year :) might just be an annual trip! They also have a great kitchen setup, along with Beer on draft! Thank you so much! Highly recommend!! 😊

If 6 stars were an option they deserve it. I loved my stay here so much I extended my stay. Yeah, I know it’s a bit irregular. But I promise this place is worth (at the very least) checking out! From the staff to the amenities it is a must stay! I’m already planning my next trip back to Little Japan Echigo :)

The location is near Kagura tashiro rope lift but far from yuzawa center. It is better to have car with you when you book this accommodation. The staffs are all friendly and helpful. There are long term accommodated ski coaches stay there therefore the kitchen were very busy in the morning and evening breakfast and dinner time. The car can be stuck by heavy snow in their parking space. Here is mainly for ski or snowboarding activities.

一人で泊まったのですが一番よかったのは雰囲気、空気感です。心がとても和みました。 食事も生ビールもとても美味しくいただきました。お酒のレパートリーもよかったです。 施設も清潔に使いやすく工夫されていました。 宿のスタッフが非常に親切でした。 シャワーのみでお風呂はないのですが、歩いて4分くらいのところの日帰り温泉のサービス券とタオルのサービスで十分すぎると思いました。 スキーオフシーズンにワーケーションで訪れてもよいと思いました。 ただ、1点、4月だったのですが夜とても寒かったです。角部屋だったことやもともと寒がりということもありますが… 暖房設備や寝具などが充実しているともっとよいと思いました。 カフェ&バーの暖炉はとても暖かかったです。
