Very good accommodation, good room, very lovely staff!!! Friendly, kind, can speak English fluently. If I come back to this city again, I will definitely come back here again. The room is very good, hot heater, hot water, there is a bathtub to soak in, delicious breakfast. When we went it was winter, the accommodation will have a pick up service to the station area, but when we went there were few people, so they took us to the tourist area as well. And in the evening, they picked us up and returned to the accommodation, including dropping us off so we could catch a bus to go to another city.
This hotel has few reviews on Ctrip and XHS, and its advantages and disadvantages are very obvious.
Advantages:
1. It is a ski-in and ski-out hotel, and the cable car entrance of Norikura Ski Resort is just downstairs from the hotel (Norikura Ski Resort has very few people on weekdays, and there is a super flat family ski slope, which is very suitable for beginners to practice, but you need to do a lift to get up)
2. There are ski equipment rentals and storage boxes downstairs of the hotel, which is very convenient, and guests have their own storage boxes
3. The reservation includes breakfast and dinner, which are all buffets. There are not many categories, and the taste is good
4. The hotel has a very famous hot spring, which is very comfortable to bathe in. There is an open-air pool that directly sees the ski slope, which is very beautiful. If you stay, you must enjoy this hot spring
5. The hotel has a shuttle bus to and from Otari Village Station, and you can choose to take it from this station to Itoigawa Station. From this station, you can directly take the Kita-ji Shinkansen to Tokyo in 2 hours
6. The reservation was for 3 people, and the room given was very large with 2 beds. The bed is small and can only sleep one person, but the tatami can sleep 2-3 people
7. When I checked in, there was a young man who could speak Chinese and introduced the hotel facilities and other details very enthusiastically. I gave him a thumbs up
Disadvantages:
1. The area around the hotel is very desolate. The hotel provided breakfast and dinner for 3 days and 2 nights. Lunch was eaten at the ski resort restaurant at the ski resort. The free soup at the ski resort restaurant was very delicious and had a lot of crabs
2. To go from the hotel to other ski resorts, you need to take the ski resort bus or paid bus at the hotel entrance
3. There are no convenience stores around the hotel
The environment is antique, every place is full of details, the room has a first-class view, the open-air hot spring has a flavor, and the overall environment is comfortable. One berth and two foods, the quality of food is good. The service attitude is friendly and professional, and it is more traditional Japanese culture when sending us out of the hotel.
Mostly good experience. The staff was super friendly and accommodating. The French restaurant was delicious. And it was great that there was a ski rental and storage right inside the hotel. Added to that, the convenience of skiing right to the lift is heavenly. The bar/ lounge was chill and cozy. However it either seemed there was a shortage of staff, mostly new staff, or both. The mandatory dinner reservations were very restrictive even though when getting there at the reserved time, the restaurant was half empty. And most frustrating was that there was no options for getting any type of food after 8:30. So if you get hungry after that time or want a snack, you better pre buy one of the 3 options of instant noodles from the lobby store (before it closes also).
Located just within 3min from Yudanaka station, Raki Onsenryokan is run by a Chinese family. As a quiet town on its own, no one was tending to the reception when I arrived, after ringing the bell, a lady came down to help with the check in - very straightforward. I believe the family stays in the same building as they said if we ever needed anything, we could just ring the bell at the reception. Obviously I had booked a room too big for a solo traveller as this was the only room left as ”non-smoking”. Toilet and sink are at two different parts of the room which was a little inconvenient. Ryokan offers free drive (15min) TO snow monkey park, but not return, so please cater at least 35min to walk from park exit to the bus stop. Ryokan also provided a hearty breakfast, overall for the price paid it was a decent stay!
Such a wonderful stay at Hakuba! Service by Mariott stuff was excellent. Shuttle bus arrived on time and the luggages up the bus and to our room. The room had an in-room onsen which was super! There was a quiet camping ground beside where my family spent half a day building snowman and playing. We could call for pizza food delivery on the first day. Convenience store was quite a walk away but manageable if the snow wasn’t so thick.
This guesthouse in Karuizawa comes highly recommended – it's far superior to traditional hotels. We booked the three-bedroom suite this time.
First off, the guesthouse's location is excellent and easy to find with navigation. They offer various suites, each with unique decor, and every unit features a courtyard of different sizes and styles. It's perfect for friend gatherings and enjoying a casual drink. Hoshino Onsen and other popular photo spots are just a 10-minute walk away.
The coffee served is specially prepared by the owner using Blue Bottle beans, which clearly shows their refined taste and appreciation for the good things in life. The bedding, made from baby cotton, is incredibly luxurious and meticulously chosen. It's breathable, comfortable against the skin, and has a subtle, pleasant scent, guaranteeing you a perfect night's sleep. In fact, when we checked out, we even specifically asked the owner for a link to purchase the bedding – that's how much we loved it!
I'll definitely be recommending this place to friends. Oh, and a quick tip: if you plan to dine here, make sure to book in advance, as all ingredients are freshly sourced on the day.
I had dinner at 2800 yen plus local
It was a great answer.
The view from the room was outstanding.
It is about 4 kilometers from Kurohime station, but it is impossible to walk.
It was about 2000 yen by taxi
It’s the photos taken by mobile phones inside and outside the store. The small hotel run by the old couple is not far from the Yudanaka tram terminal. In the town of hot springs, it’s good to have a 24-hour hot spring bathhouse. The owner is very good. Gentle was able to personally drive us to the foot of the mountain in the Wild Monkey Park to see the monkeys washing in the hot springs. It is a lot more convenient for us. Shared toilets are the place I am least used to, but overall I am satisfied.
This is a very nice onsen hotel. The dinner and breakfast provided is very good. We stayed for 4 nights, and the dinner are all different. Location is very good as it is walking distance to the train station. They have free shuttle bus to the train station and the snow monkey place as well. All the staff are very friendly. I will come back again for sure

JJUNGHJIt was a pleasant trip thanks to the kindness of the hotel owner. I was able to enjoy the hot springs and the food was good. I would like to visit again next time.
