"An absolutely worthwhile night! The private onsen was high quality and the hotel offered great privacy. Both meals we had were delicious, and the service was excellent. The scenery was breathtaking. It was one of those places you never want to check out of. They even offered complimentary snacks upon departure, and the bar had a wide selection of food in the evening. Strolling in the snow after dinner was also beautiful."

"The B&B's location is pretty good and convenient, with a convenience store right outside. The interior is beautiful and thoughtfully detailed. The front desk service was just okay, nothing special. The room itself was clean and tidy, but when we turned on the heater, there was a strong, persistent kerosene smell that was really unpleasant."

"Facilities: Ski gear doesn't include ski suits. The overall experience was just okay, probably because it was my first time skiing.
Environment: But it was really beautiful.
Service: There were a lot of rules, as pictured. I checked in late and couldn't shower in my room. The staff were accommodating and let me use a shower for ten minutes.
Hot Springs: The hot springs were fantastic with floor-to-ceiling windows offering snow views. There were also outdoor hot springs, and the sauna temperature was just right. I just didn't like seeing young boys brought into the area."
