This hotel is absolutely wonderful, offering excellent facilities and a luxurious stay. The onsen experience while sitting out in the snow is truly unique and delightful. The free shuttle to the nearby ski hill adds to the convenience, though the buffet dinner priced at 5000 yen might feel a bit steep. Overall, it's a beautiful place with helpful staff, although their English is limited, which didn't hinder my experience. I would definitely return.
