Great value and location.
Pros:

The location is excellent. It has easy access to Akakura Onsen and Kanko, and is the first stop on the shuttle to the other resorts, so you'll always get a spot. You get pretty good value compared to the other accommodations in the area and the staff was very friendly and helpful.

Friendly family run accommodation. Great room size for Japan.
Pros:

Great location, spacious room. Microwave downstairs to heat up meals. Walking distance to convenience stores and restaurants. Only a few ks to larger shop and chemist..

Cons:

Hot water was not hot after about 5pm. Have an early shower after snowboarding, or use the Onsen onsite. No deal breaker though.

Great location, we will be back.
Pros:

Great location, very helpful staff. Restaurant meal is excellent, don’t miss this. The hotel is well kept and organised.

Cons:

The onsen was ok, it’s older and probably needs a bit of work, but we still used it. It’s very hot and great after a day on the snow.

Perfect hotel for a skiing holiday.
Pros:

Lovely hotel right next to one of the lifts. Daisuke was super helpful. He picked up from the train station & dropped us back when we left. The hotel lobby has plenty of comfortable sofas with an amazing foot & calf massager which was invaluable at the end of a day’s skiing. Discount vouchers for lift passes are provided. The rooms are small like most Japanese hotels but the beds were very comfortable. There’s a ski storage & drying room in the basement along with the onsen & laundry. Breakfast was varied & plentiful - cereal, eggs, bacon, bread, fruit + more traditional Japanese fare. It’s not a 5 star hotel but it’s perfect for a skiing holiday.

Cons:

The walls between the rooms are very thin but not a problem as long as your neighbours aren’t noisy.

帶小孩入住4天3夜，3樓是在後棟，窗戶打開可以看見赤倉溫泉滑雪場的6號纜車，大人步行3分鐘可抵達。浴場燈光昏暗，一個人時會有點害怕。這是有年代歷史的住宿，走廊上可以擺滿藝術品，很值得一看。
Pros:

民宿夫妻人很好，大雪期間老闆依然定期除雪，門口進出都很通暢

Cons:

浴場燈光好昏暗

Affordable stay in a good location
Pros:

Perfect location. Having onsen is a must and convenient. Friendly staff and the whole atmosphere was quiet and nice. Affordable as well.

Cons:

Since we did not pre-book breakfast, it was a small surprise that some days breakfast was not available. It was communicated beforehand. Drying facilities were ok, but boot were better dried in room.
