Shinano Hotels with Free Parking.

I’m so excited to share a review for this amazing couple. Kazuo-san and his wife were very kind and caring throughout my entire stay. They had the right amenities for a Bed and Breakfast that caters to ski lovers and snow boarders. The B&B is also a more traditional and heritage kind, preserving the authentic looks through time, they’ve been running this for 35 beautiful years. If you’d like, dinner is also available as an add-on, nothing beats a high value home-cooked food, made from the heart. I’ll highly recommend this location, Kazuo-san also goes the extra mile to drop you off at the pick-up points if you don’t have your own car. Beyond that Kazuo-san is also very knowledgeable and informed with the latest news, so he’s able to recommend good ski resorts, summer activities or even delve into the history of surrounding areas like Kurohime and more. I was quite shocked to see some earlier reviews by other foreigners that rated this location quite poorly when they don’t understand what they’ve booked. This is a bed and breakfast inn and it’s every inch authentic as it should be. So if you’re looking for a fuss-free stay with friendly authentic folks, this should be on your list.

The hotel's remote location means you need to pay attention to the shuttle schedule. It's a 30-minute drive to the nearest town, Iiyama, but the resort itself is self-contained. It has souvenir shops (duty-free) and an unmanned convenience store, making it excellent for ski training and holidays. The hot spring is also fantastic. While there's some variety in the breakfast and dinner, after 5 days it does get a bit repetitive. I'd suggest more variety and improving the taste of the dishes. Overall, I was very satisfied this time.

We loved our stay at Waypoint great property the sauna was outstanding lm, the room was clean & the staff were very lovely & helpful. The check-in process was a little complicated mostly because we had one son that was injured and it was a little time-consuming.

It is very close to the Banwei Tokyu Ski Resort, the house is well maintained, there is a useful private bathroom, and the dinner is also very careful. At this price, it is definitely super recommended

This is the first stay for the participation of Lake Nojiri swimming The hotel staff were all kind and there was no car to go by train, so they were very kind to pick up and drop off to the station and take me to the convenience store on the way. The meal was also served at the restaurant and the volume was delicious. After swimming, I was able to participate in the long swim very comfortably because I was exhausted by borrowing a shower again. I would like to stay next year.

It turned out that Harvest Madarao was the third hall of Banwei Dongkyu Resort. The soup hall here needs to swipe the card of the three hall housing to enter the use, and you must go to the bubble. The soup pool on the Tangram side (next to the locker) can be directly entered without swiping the card, and you can also use the free massage chair after soaking the soup. The lobby of the Banwei Tokyu Hotel is large and beautiful, the rooms are spacious, comfortable and warm in the western style, ski in/out, there is a Locker room for tenants, and the comfort of indoor and outdoor soup washing the fatigue of skiing after a day; ZigZag provides a rich breakfast and dinner. Harvest guests can try the French restaurant by making up the difference (2500 yen per person). Harvest three public bath wash drying free, laundry ball provided, the same swipe card to enter! 2026/2/23-2/25 Spottail Ski Guests

The facilities are complete, the environment is clean and comfortable, there is no heating on the underground bathroom floor, it is frozen in winter, the heating temperature in the bathroom is insufficient, and there will be insects flying to sleep in the lampshade of the room.

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 was a positive experience in this lodge, operated by a family who speaks limited English. They provide the best dinner (western 5 course meal) and breakfast, which was something I was looking forward to everyday. For the three nights stay, it was always a different menu and the pastries were handmade! Has a possibility to ski in when there’s sufficient snow, and ski lift was just a few minutes walk away.
