Location is great, you can walk from Midagahara pass this lodge to Murodo. Nature path along the way is easy to walk and the sceneric so beautiful, however there are short path that quite difficault to climb. Owner of lodge help drive for me to Murodo in the morning 7:40, this is very helpful so I can start hike Tateyama from early morning where not many people around so I can enjoy the nature to heart content. Lodge also next to bus station so if I tried from hiking I can take bus from Murodo instead, but walk from Murodo also only 40 min and faster than waiting for the bus. Breakfast and Dinner are delicious also staff can refill rice and bread. Room quite clean however in moutain area it difficault to avoid insect but I have no problem else I would not travel to the moutain. If anyone want to stay in Tateyama longer than 1 night I would recommend this place.

One of the more affordable lodgings within the Kurobe Alpine route! Very clean and well-maintained – rooms, toilets, bathrooms, coatroom and common area. "Hand" towel provided is big enough to double as a bath towel, so no worries if you want to pack light while traversing this route (plus you get to keep it as a souvenir!). Was very impressed with the spread of food during dinner and breakfast, (+ interesting snacks/drinks offered during supper). I liked how they screened a free show after dinner for visitors to chill or even just hangout together. Staff were very friendly and helpful, giving recommendations for hiking routes, offering a free shuttle service, and even so kindly renting out their equipment for use. Has a few boardwalks surrounding the lodge for short walks/treks out too.

This is a lodge located just a little bit below Murodo, which is famous for the snow wall (Yuki no Ōtani). breakfast and dinner is provided, you can also take lunch at the lodge with a reasonable price, which i strongly suggest it. We stay at April for the snow wall trip and not really feeling cold in the room, not even using the heater provided despite the temperature outside is about 3 Celcius. Will definitely visit again in another season!

Shared bathroom probably is not for everyone, 1 of my friend did not take the bath during the stay due to too shy to share bathroom with others. other than that, all is good.

I loved my stay here. The staff were absolutely lovely and very helpful. They provided snow boots for free when my trainers were too wet and put them in a heated room, so that they could dry. They made every effort to make sure I was comfortable and regularly chatted to me, as I was on my own. The food was very tasty (dinner and breakfast are included in the price) and they provide packed lunch for a fee if needed. The shower was hot and the hot tub was small but lovely to soak in after lots of walking. The room was nice and warm and had a great view of the mountains. They show a documentary about the snow wall. They reserved my bus to Bijodaira for me and because it was raining, they told the bus driver to use the horn when he was outside, so that I could wait inside.

It was basic accommodation but it has everything you need and the staff more than make up for it. The WiFi didn't work consistently but you're in the mountains, so that will happen. Breakfast is served at 6:30am, which is quite early for me.

Absolutely everything. From the moment I stepped in and was greeted; seeing the interaction between the staffs; knowing what they are capable of; being helped when I was having some sort of problems; I was even told to watch the sunset: I do not speak or really understand Japanese, yet I know I really should drop what I was doing and grab my camera and get to the back of the building. Because they are enthusiastic yet really polite as tourists all know Japanese are.

It is so good I am feeling no other place can match now…

The staff were all very friendly and welcoming. A few of them were also able to speak English and Chinese! The food was delicious and the atmosphere was great. You can also get a wonderful view of the mountain right out of the window from your room! They also lend me snowshoe and long boots for me to walk in the snow, just right behind the lodging.

The WiFi can be weak at times in the room

The hosts were extremely welcoming and kind. The food we had for breakfast and dinner was fantastic, and the same can be said for the bento box that was great fuel for our hike up to Mount Tateyama. The location of this lodge is phenomenal and is ideal for enjoying the great outdoors. We had to shorten our two night stay to one due to unforeseen circumstances and we were reimbursed our last minute cancelation.

The only downside for me was the pillow. I obviously wasn't expecting a luxurious room given the location but I had quite some trouble sleeping on it. That is literally my only "complaint".

We loved the staff at the mountain lodge, and the meals were super delicious! The bathrooms were also really nice (like a Japanese sento). It was enjoyable to relax in the bath after a long day of travelling and hiking to the lodge. The views were amazing. We got to see a beautiful sunset before dinner was served. In the early morning, we were driven up to Murodo station so that we could hike up Mt Oyama!

The price was definitely high, but perhaps understandable given the beautiful, secluded location and the excellent service / meals!

A great mountain location right at the bus stop. Keeping in mind the “mountain hut” idea the facilities are basic but very good basic. The staff were very friendly and helpful and the owner drove us to the Murodo station early so we did not have to catch the bus for the short distance (about 2km).

Once dinner was completed and a short information video of the local region was shown then the dining/lounge area was shut and you were back to your room at 8:30 for an early night. This was compensated by an early breakfast and a good night sleep.

The location is probably fantastic but unfortunately it was totally fogged in for 2 days I was there so I did not get to experience the outdoors and ended up sitting in a mountain lodge watching Netflix. All part of travel.

4 loud drunk ladies in the main living area made it uncomfortable to sit there so was in my room all day. Hotel staff should maybe monitor how much alcohol is consumed so guests are not disruptive for other guests to enjoy the facilities
