Me and my family stayed here for nearly a week and could not recommend it more. Location is gorgeous, peaceful and quiet. Owner/staff super kind, and the language barrier was not an issue at all. My husband had a back injury and they went above and beyond to help us. We were there during the earthquake that hit early jan 2024 and felt very safe, following the guidelines of the well prepared staff. The dining experience is supreme. Every day a different meal prepared with love. Note that is mainly japanese meals and some picky western eaters might not enjoy as much as we did! In house onsen was a plus! We had a car which made it easy for us to come and go to town n the ski resorts. Would certainly come back!
