Great service. Impressed with the food - we stayed for 4 nights and there was no repeat meal. Good onsen. Convenient location to stay in (with a car) for skiing in Zao Resort.

The staff were very kind, and although our itinerary required frequent transportation, they were happy to provide pick-up and drop-off services many times. They also booked the tickets for the Zao Mountain cable car on our behalf, and also booked the return tickets online for us. Upon departure, a dedicated staff member accompanied us to the station and communicated with the station service center staff in Japanese. They provided delicious breakfast and dinner, and also had a dedicated translator to help us communicate with them. There were so many elaborate and lovely decorations in the hot spring hotel, which created a quiet and calm atmosphere. The soundproofing was also good, and the bed sheets and comforters were very comfortable. Overall, we are very satisfied! This is a must-visit hotel! Thank you for your hospitality! 🫶🏻

You can see the snowy scenery from the large windows on both sides. Breakfast and dinner are all-inclusive. The taste is good, especially the wagyu and tuna sashimi. The bed is comfortable and hard, and the yukata is nice. It's a pity that I didn't soak in the hot spring outside. The service staff is polite and enthusiastic.
