Easy walk from the train station. The check-in area was to the back left of the first floor rather than right in the front. Hotel staff spoke little English but were accommodating. We arrived early, were shown lockers to store our large suitcases, got dressed, caught the hotel shuttle and went skiing/snowboarding. Got back at 5:00 and checked in. The room was nostalgic. The futon and down comforters were great! The onsen was a surprise. Tthere were three pools for women and two for men. Bringing along snow grips for your shoes if you plan to eat out. Wifi was a bit slow, but ok. The breakfast that was included in our plan was very good. We would definitely stay here again. :)
