The best ski in and ski out and Onsen hotel in Japan so far!
We loved the hotel so much in Oct 2025 so we rebooked and came again from Dec 20-24, 2025.
1. Very convenient for ski experience. Ski in and ski out. Ski rental and ski coach school are just besides hotel. Good experience for rentals and coaches hiring.
2. Breakfast and dinner buffets are great and so yummy! The food does change every night to give you diversified variation to choose from. Very delicate food preparations by great chefs so don’t worry you will never get bored.
3. Onsen is also great great great! Great view and women and men get alternate the hot spring pool everyday.
4. First floor relaxing area is great great! You have self service bar of juice / soda / coffee and popsicles.
5. The hotel staffs are so nice and make you feel at home. Motoyo-San is extremely friendly and her English is so fluent!!! We were very lucky to have her help out during our stay.
6. 3rd floor is newly renovated so pls try this beautiful room next time!
Highly recommend!!!! Great for family and couple trips!
This is a very high-quality hot spring resort with many baths to choose from. I stayed here in January, and several of the outdoor baths were particularly charming. Soaking my feet in the warm, hot water while it snowed was a beautiful experience, with a stream and mountain views. The rooms were also very spacious and clean. It's a highly recommended place.
Very good feeling, as soon as you arrive at the hotel, there is a friendly staff reception, help to help with luggage, the check-in process has a detailed explanation of the service staff, smiles, kind and cute, and at the same time explain the hotel facilities and the layout of the room. Space, we are here during the period, Had a wonderful dinner (kaiseki cuisine) and a hearty breakfast, everything was very good, I hope to stay next time.
The room was nice, spacious, and comfortable. The main highlight is the hot springs, with a wide variety of options. I especially recommend the hot springs in the side buildings, as they have better facilities. Breakfast and dinner are buffet-style with a good selection of food. There's live instrumental music every night during dinner, and folk performances in the hotel lobby every evening. The shuttle bus is punctual, with dedicated staff for pick-up and drop-off. I would definitely stay here again.
The hotel staff are very warm, polite and attentive. Very satisfied! The room I booked includes a semi-open-air bath, which is a great environment. The room was also cleaned very well. Breakfast and dinner were also very rich and delicious. Highly recommended!!!!
Stayed there for 9 days.
Location in the middle of the mountain
Ten minutes drive from Xiayou Plateau Ski Resort
The environment is very comfortable
The meal with the room is not bad, but it is a bit tired to eat every day.
Going out to eat, you need to inform the front desk that you are not dining at the hotel.
But it makes people feel a little confused if they don't refund the cost of not eating.
Everything else is fine.
The hot spring pool is very diverse
It is most suitable to soak in open-air hot springs when it is snowing
Superb onsen hotel. We took sea view and it was superb with a small balcony. Room are very confortable and big. Onsen was excellent with an outside bath looking at the bay.
We had dinner also and it was 5 star.
Staff were super helpful (front desk, restaurant etc)
Great little Inn, lots of charm. Think of it as a 5 star B&B.
Very Good

LLanie KirklandA group of four of us booked a cabin on a whim, and I’m so happy we did!! We did a two-day ski trip to Geto Kogen, and I cannot stress enough how convenient these cabins were to the resort itself. We stayed overnight in between two days at the resort. The drive up to the resort was less than 20 minutes. The cabin itself was super cozy, so comfortable, had great amenities for the short time we were there, and the staff were so kind and helpful. Everything was very clean, the heater was already on when we arrived, which was a very thoughtful touch, and we were able to hang all our snow gear to dry thanks to the copious amounts of hangars available. We felt it was a crazy good deal based on the price, location, and availability to book it just a few days in advance. We will definitely be back in the summer to use the grill and go golfing at the country club!
GGuest UserThis time I booked Arts Color, but I actually lived in the main building of the boss's other restaurant Life is Beautful( It should be called Beautiful Life~), the homestay is about10-15 minutes walk from Anbi Ski Resort & Bailu Hot Spring, not too far away, the key homestay dinner seems simple, but super delicious, there is a French restaurant standard, In the morning 8-9 o'clock & afternoon 16-17 there is a free welcome (Anbi Station or Anbi Ski Resort), B1 there is a loan cut wind, just like the size of Yangming Mountain's personal hot spring, but it is really relaxing to soak after skiing the snow. There is also a beautiful and atmospheric API House bread cafe opposite the hotel. There is a ROCKY BBQ restaurant next door. On this night in the countryside, such a store has been counted a lot, because there is really no nightlife here at this night. You can consider going to the Bailu Hot Spring for a soup (open until 23:00). This is a personal trip. The cost of one berth and two meals is NT2100/day. I think it is very good value, it is recommended, I hope that I can visit again not too long.
PPlaywright parentThis inn, though a bit old, is incredibly well-maintained and clean by the owner. What truly impressed me was that the affordable price included both breakfast and dinner, and you could genuinely feel the owner's passion in every dish. The owner was also very kind to drive guests to the train station, ski resort, school, or other places, which is a really unique touch. If you're traveling on a budget, you should definitely consider this thoughtful and affordable small inn! Lastly, I saw some comments saying the owner is a bit quiet, but I think that's absolutely fine! As long as they run the business with heart, guests will surely feel the sincerity. Thank you for your hospitality! I had a really nice stay here! Thank you!
Ggamon chenThe B&B is very close to Appi Plateau and provides ski pick-up and drop-off services.
At the same time, other employees are also asked to take care of the pick-up and drop-off, so there is no problem for the B&B to go to the ski resort for easy skiing.
The more problematic thing is how to get to the B&B. If you need to take a bus to get your ski equipment, it is quite a distance from the bus station to the B&B. It would be difficult to push your luggage for 20 minutes in the snow.
If you ask the B&B owner to pick you up at the JR station, you will need to call to communicate, and there are pick-up time restrictions. The website does not explain this clearly.
In addition, the communication between trip.com and the B&B is not very smooth.
You have to confirm your accommodation by phone in person. The owner is also a chef, so he doesn't reply to emails very often. Trip.com AI online customer service cannot help.
I think it would be ideal to drive here by yourself.
I had a good breakfast and was ready to go skiing.
But dinner is very simple and may be a bit full for some people.
The B&B provides discounted ski tickets and ski equipment.
Overall, I would be willing to stay at this B&B again if the problem of getting to the B&B can be solved.
MMrs_KlisThe proprietress is super nice and loves life. Although the English is average, she did her best to help us and took us to the supermarket to buy things and sent us to the train station to clean up the hotel. My mother can't speak a word of Japanese but she became friends when we left. Not willing yet
GGuest UserIt's hard without a car because it's far from the station, but the hot springs are very good. The rice went on because there was a sprinkle for breakfast.
