The staff at this property are unbelievable. They go out of their way for you. The hotel has pretty much ski in, with access to the chair lift right outside the front door. Dinner is amazing, breakfast is not as good, but has plenty on offer with fruits, hot and cold options.
The onsen downstairs was renovated whilst we were staying there and looks great, much more inviting.
Access to the Hakuba Valley Shuttle just up the road, walkable.
Although the idea of sleeping on a mattress on the floor and living out of suitcases was not appealing at first we got used to it, and ended up enjoying our stay thoroughly.
