"China (Cheena) looked after us so well. She did everything, cooking , cleaning, driving us to ski resort.
Our train was cancelled and they came to pick us up at Bandai Altima at a cost which was terrific. There actually is a bus from Koriyama to the Ski Resort however the bus station seemed unable to tell us that. It would have been good information from Reitopia also. Anyway it was very kind to pick us up.
The menu is a bit limited and it seemed there were other things to eat, if you were in...

The area and property were nice and clean. My husband and I enjoyed the hot spring baths and meals. The rooms and beds were very comfortable. We would be happy to go back again!

This resort has an amazing location with a gorgeous view of Lake Hibara and Mt. Bandai, and the Five Colored Ponds. Their staff members are very formal and friendly and has a great restaurant buffet. The rooms and building itself are in okay condition with some scuffs and stains, but overall an excellent place with a very unique gift store with great items like food, snacks, and gifts. The traditional Japanese room is very nice

Our room overlooked the treed face of the cliff, down to the stream at the bottom. It was very relaxing. The staff were all very welcoming, and the half board dinner and breakfast were amazing.

Staff service was like nothing I've experienced before. We only spoke English, and the hotel had a young man who was amazing at translating for us. Thank you!!!
