Dinner is great, the room is a bit small, and difficult to park and offload your luggages if you are coming in winter, staff is limited and nobody will help you with your luggages.

The service is good”
The overall arrangement is good. The food is good. The onsen is clear and tidy. The room size is sufficient for a family (2 adults and 1 big kid) to living. However, you have to ensure your room have private bathroom and toilet as not all room type have these facilities. The location is a bit far away from JR station, if you need to take big luggage to walk from JR station to hotel, it will be quite exhausted especially in bad weather condition like snowing / raining.

Charming Wes Anderson type lodging off the beaten track”
A charming old European style lodge right on the hill near Seki Onsen, bursting with character and, with a Wes Anderson vibe, stuffed animals, helpful welcoming staff, let down only by the meals on offer. Be wary of the icy slippery path up to the lodge itself.

Not att all a 3 stars Ryokan”
We went in several Ryokans, this one is not a 3 stars one. The location is good but the rest is not. Onsen cold. Staff cold. Room smell strongly smoke. Pillow hard. No soundproofing between the rooms.

Traditional Getaway”
Had a lovely 3 nights at Otowaya. We had never stayed in a Ryokan before so this was a great experience. Only a short shuttle bus to the main ski field but there are a couple of smaller runs in close walking distance. Recommended if you are looking to see how travellers of the past were accommodated before Western style hotels came to Japan.

Friendly staff. Room was spacious for 3 adults and 2 young children. Didn't eat the hotel food since my young boys tend to be picky on food. Nice and clean onsen.

Good location and good service, but no drying room or laundry room”
Good location, tasty food, nice room, beautiful outdoor onsens, great service overall. Very happy except there was no drying room for snowboard or boots, and no laundry room so could not wash clothes. I really like the place but will not return because of these reasons.
