- "Everything. The room, hospitality, food, onsen." - "The owners/staff were soooo nice! The breakfast was out of this world. So so delicious. The attention to detail was beyond what we expected. Cannot wait to go back! Thank you so much!! You guys are amazing!!" - "Fantastic little Ryokan in Hakuba. A great location for skiing, very walkable even in gear to the bus stop for the shuttle, or even to the Happo Gondola. The rooms is lovely. At first I was a bit apprehensive because I'd never slept in a tatami room kinda thing, but its pretty comfortable. Only thing I missed was being able to throw myself onto the bed :-) . The breakfast is amazing, I'd never had fish and rice for breakfast before, but it just works. A great Japanese experience in that regard. Staff are lovely, very kind and polite."

- "The staff gave us an upgrade due to off-season, we loved our room which was more of a small apartment with plenty of space, smart-TV and small kitchen. Super comfortable bed and the view from the room overlooking mountain was great. Friendly staff, very helpful, offered to drive us to the busstation on our last day and was informative about skiing and everything. Very convenient just off the slopes. Recommend 10/10. Lovely restaurants in the town as well."

- "Awesome motel close to restaurants and 10min walk to resort. 5 min walk to central bus station. Listing says no wifi in rooms but there was super fast wifi in all rooms" - "BEST hotel of my trip due in most part to the most lovely hosts ever! The two ladies who run the hotel were both so friendly and welcoming and always wanted to help in any way that they could. Their energy will bring a smile to your face. Room was clean and had plenty of space, split system heating/cooling which worked great. Very good onsen downstairs (open 24 hours), coin laundry, and drying room for ski gear was very effective. Also the best foot massager machines available to use free of charge as well. Breakfast was solid, a traditional Japanese set menu which varied every day, plus cereal/toast/coffee that you could serve yourself as well. Good location, very close to bus terminal (3-4 minute walk) and easy walk to spots for dinner."
