Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
非常西洋派的旅館，很適合要來藏王花很多天雪的人～～飯店人員也都是外國人（為了來滑雪打工換宿那種），氣氛很有趣！ 離看樹冰的纜車比較遠（約步行15分鐘），另外如果有大件行李，建議走溫泉街上去，旁邊的車道比較危險。最後，早餐好吃🙂

温泉が無いのが残念

蔵王温泉なのに温泉が無いのが残念。スタッフの教育が不足しており、単なるアルバイト。 ゲレンデまでスキー靴を履いて登っていくのが少し厳しい。そんなには遠くないが、スキー靴だとほぼ限界。

Great older lodge with friendly staff

Well located. Not on the slopes but a small walk. Older style lodge with character. Very friendly owners and staff (have run the lodge for 45 years). Great to stay in a property that has history and feels Japanese (rather than a spartan modern hotel). Make a great bowl of Udon noodles. The bunk beds are solid as rocks made of wood and are very spacious and comfortable. Best view in the world of the slopes from your bed.

整體感覺都還不錯，只是離車站下車處有點距離，購物也不太方便。個人建議，可在客房內提供電水壺，方便房客隨時使用。
