We stayed here as part of a Tripadeal Aus package and it was a classic - “you get what you pay” for experience. Hotel is definitely mid range but room sizes were ok. We stayed in a fusion Western / Japanese room with 2 singles and 2 futons on tatami mats which was fine. Smoking and smell of smoke was a bit of an issue as doors to the smoking room and karaoke lounge were left open most of the time.. so the whole place smelled. Hotel staff tried to help by offering us some scented spray and were friendly and accommodating enough (shout out to Otomo San who was very helpful through our whole trip) but the cigarette smell was bad. Being on the northern side of the valley, the hotel backs onto Hakuba Norikura Onsen and the trails were great for young ones and beginners and being ski in and out, was ideal. But you are bus rides from everything and other parts of the Valley like Happo, Tsugaike (next village) or Cortina Limited food but hotel breakfast buffet was ok but Japanese style with some mix of Western (croissants and sweet bread). We chose to eat Dinner at a local family run place instead (see other review) which was not far from hotel - walkable. Lunch at the Snow drops cafeteria outside the hotel was cheap and locally exceptional.. one of the positives. Our passes as part of the hotel deal was limited to Norikura and didn’t allow us to ski across to Cortina (fine print stuff - where as a normal Day pass should allow you to ski both of you bought it locally) or buy a Hakuba Valley pass which gives you access to all the resorts. In hindsight, we should’ve just invested in a Epic pass in Oz in 19/20 which would’ve gave us 5days skiing. Ski gear rental offered by the hotel was also pretty average with very old gear (I’m talking 10-15+ yrs old) and definitely not up to scratch if you’re expecting new-ish stuff.. we ended up organising our gear through another place in the Echoland village (see separate review) which was great. There is a luggage delivery service which was helpful to send our bags back to the airport without having to lug them around all over Japan and the trains. Hotel onsen was the saving grace and great to have it just “upstairs” after the end of the day and is segregated. All in all probably just ok.. but we stayed here for the “value” deal and local experience.

In short, it is a little inconvenient, but very beautiful! I just said. I usually use the affiliated Marion Shinano, but it was fully booked, so I used Granjam Tsugaike. The shortest walk to the slopes and convenience store is 5 minutes. It's a little inconvenient compared to Marion Shinano, but because it's new, the inside of the building is very clean, so the points are quite high! The only question I have is that boots are not allowed inside the building, so where should I put my sneakers? That's what it means. Even after checking out, you can use the coin lockers in the hotel, so put on your sneakers and take your boots to the drying room to change them. When I asked where to put those sneakers, he said, ”Please put them in the locker. ”They said. Right now, I'm wearing ski boots, which are prohibited inside the museum, but do I have to go back to the locker inside the museum and pay 500 yen again to put the sneakers in the coin locker? ? ? However, if you leave it in the drying room, it may be stolen or recovered... Marion Shinano has a shoe storage area, so it's a little unkind, how are you all doing? I thought.

I also used it in December. Overall it was good, so I repeated it. Customer Service → If you don't understand something, just ask and they will respond kindly. I'm not looking for friendliness, so I feel very comfortable here. You work efficiently. Meals: The amount of rice is large. It's enough for one woman to eat. It's perfect because I want to eat well after exercising! And I'm glad it comes with dessert. Breakfast starts at 7:30, and the gondola lift opens at 8:00, which is a bit of a problem for those who want to ski the fast track. I guess it would be better if I didn't eat breakfast... It's best to start from 7:00! The location is close to the gondola, so it's very convenient. There is also a convenience store right in front of the building, so I used it to buy late night snacks and energy drinks. It's also fairly close to the express bus parking lot. The hotel is compact, so it's very comfortable. If you're in a large hotel, you'll have to move to the public bath and washing machine within the hotel, so it's great that it's compact. Cleanliness: Although the building is not new, it is very clean. I think the public bath is also clean. As long as you bring your own amenities that you usually use, there will be no problem. Besides me, I saw other people staying alone. I felt safer staying at this hotel that I had stayed at before than trying to find a new hotel, so I decided to stay here again. It's the perfect hotel for me. My husband and I are planning to come next season.

The breakfast is a Japanese set and the amount is quite small, there is not even coffee, and the dinner is also small and not delicious at all. Coins are used for everything, luggage storage before and after check-in is also a coin locker, snowboarding is of course a coin. There is no heating in the changing room of the hot spring, it is super cold, and there is only body soap and conditioner in shampoo. The guest room had an old-style heater.When I turned it on, the room became too dry and I couldn't sleep. I don't have a humidifier. The room is not cleaned, it says that it will be cleaned once every 3 days, so I didn't even change the towels. It wasn't good

The boss has a good service attitude
