I liked the location, breakfast and how easy it was to use the blackcat service, check in and check-out. It's very convenient that it was near the shinkansen and a 7-11. We had extra futons which allowed us to make the beds thicker and more comfy for the three of us.

The room was a little spooky especially the storage area by the bathroom. My husband said he saw something red floating. Recommend you don't watch scary movies before going to this hotel because that closet was a little scary.

Great service attitude by all staff. The hotel’s ski shop offers very reasonable rental packages for good-quality ski equipments. Well located close to major ski slopes, the train station, and restaurants. Good buffet breakfast with a variety of food selection. Large onsen facilities. Clean room and bathroom. Very comfortable stay indeed.

The property is a bit dated, but not an issue at all.

Our room is Japanese style and it was spacious with a nice view of the mountains and the shinkansen line. They also have a free shuttle running from Echigo Yuzawa Station to the hotel (this is very convenient). The buffet breakfast was also very nice.

I wasn't aware of their free shuttle so we walked from the station to the hotel (only about 600 meters but it was uphill!) It'll be nice if I receive a message from them beforehand about their free shuttle.

Good value. Staff very helpful and nice. The public onsen in hotel was spacious and nice. Rooms are simple and clean. We stayed in the Japanese tatami room. Shuttle to Gala Yuzawa Ski resort stops in front of hotel. Line up early as the shuttle can fill up fast.

Walls are kind of thin and our neighbors were noisy.

A very clean and spacious japanese style room with a good variety of amenities and furniture for relaxing, that is also in close walking proximity of Echigo YUZAWA station! There's also a 7-11 nearby. Thr public onsen is great. Room bathroom only has a shower and no tub. The only downside (not negative) is the room and furniture looks a little dated, but are still very clean.

Breakfast was a typical Japanese breakfast. We enjoyed the variety of choices whether we wanted a danish, eggs or japanese style breakfast.

The only thing I hated was getting out of bed. The beds were the futon style beds on the floor and I just had knee surgery in March so getting up from the floor was so difficult. I enjoyed everything else about this hotel

The staff members are very friendly and helpful. They arrange transport to pick us up from station after dinner. Outdoor garden onsen was heavenly on a snowy night. Unforgettable serenity.

authentic Japanese stay and accommodation. we even nuded up and embraced the onsen culture. naked in a hot outdoor onsen while catching snow flakes was quite surreal.

We loved the location. We loved the onsen.

The restaurant stated it was open until 9pm but when we arrived to eat at 830pm they refused to seat us.

I found the room and hotel and its surroundings to be charming and delightful. The breakfast was good, the bathing facilities were clean and give a welcome opportunity to relax and let your worries fade away.
