“This is a real Japanese style lodge most of the visitors are Japanese. It is a nice change from some where you still feel like Aussies are everywhere”

“The rooms are every clean and warm. the place is very quite at night easy sleep after a long day riding.”

“We booked the traditional Japanese ryokan room, and it was fun to experience! The room was very clean and warm, and the location was great. The owner/receptionist was very welcoming and kind. He told us that the on site Onsen was tattoo friendly, and open all night, but we stayed out too late and were too tired to use it (oops!). There was a small elevator, so that would be nice for anyone with large luggage. We were within walking (stumbling) distance from a few bars, and there were chair lifts just behind the hotel. All in all, it was a great experience for our first ryokan.”

“Great location one minute ski to the lift or 2 min walk”

“A great location in the village, with a kind owner who went out of his way to help us find hiking maps etc.”
