Great service and excellent dinner”

Some excellent points about this hotel: amazing Japanese dinner every night, hotel staff service is top notched, nice Onsen inside the hotel, ski shop inside the hotel It would have been nicer if the ski lifts outside the hotel were in operation. Snow conditions were not great I guess in the beginning of season, so instead of a ski in ski out experience, we had to take their van to the slopes which was also quite convenient.

满分的滑雪酒店”

服务绝对的满分。食物也很好,酒店在山上缆车旁,由于今年暖冬,雪量不足,旁边缆车未能开放,但酒店可以随时接送其它开放的缆车入口(如果开放真是学习滑雪的最佳地点之一)。我们是带孩子学习滑雪的家庭。极为热心负责任替我们的孩子联系好滑雪学校,滑雪学校价格合理,便宜长野很多,老师也非常棒。我自己来过日本很多次食物好吃,相比很多更豪华酒店,味道毫不逊色,份量很足。半露天温泉可以看到山景,温泉水质不错,用温泉水洗后脸上有光泽,皮肤也润滑了很多。房间宽敞,非常干净。
