A friend and I stayed there during one week-end. It was a very good experience. The room is quite large and very clean. The highlight of this stay was for sure the dinner. The food was delicious, made with high quality products and with a large selection of different dishes. The owners were very nice with us. If you want to have an experience in a traditionnal family owned ryokan, I highly recommend to stay there :) It is exactly the kind of place that I hope will still exist in some years!

First, the design of the house is super western and super beautiful just right infront of ski slopes. I have a once in a lifetime view from my room and also breakfast area! Second, that's the only hostel comes with private room (as far as I know). Third, I actually paid for the breakfast and dinner and I NEVER REGRET to do so (even though you can have some food out there but is abit far). The dinner is just WONDERFUL, WONDERFUL, WONDERFUL. Experience yourself and you will know what I meant. It is Extremely exceeded my expectation, even after so many days I am back to my country while I writing this review, I am still so in love of everything I have experience here. Come here during winter, must come. And I'm super pleased to be served by the old couple, so simple, so genuine, soooo awe!

The service was excellent, dinner and bfast served was delicious. I just amazed with their warm hospitality especially when we encountered the problems to get to the ropeway of Zao Onsen Ropeway station, the front desk without hesitate and drove 4 of us to the bus terminal for luggage kept at the locker and then further dropped us at the zao ropeway cable car. It was really unexpected and they extend their great hospitality to fetch us around especially that day it was snow heavily. We were much appreciated and enjoyed the stay in the Ryokan. Thanks to the drivers and front desk staffs, it was so touch and definitely a memorable stay and will definitely come back again!

Nice traditional Japanese ryokan. Spacious room, nice and helpful staff, mountain view, and great location in Zao onsen. The downside is the hotel is so great we don’t want to go out and explore the town.

24/7 open onsen was amazing as well as the outdoor one. Lounge was nicely equiped and it was a pleasant place to spend relaxing time. Overall having bed connected directly to free-to-use onsen is great!
