Clean, comfortable, and conveniently located next to Tsugaike only a 5 minute walk to the gondola. Friendly and helpful staff as well as a great kitchen, daily breakfast and laundry.
Situated 300m walk from ski lift/gondola and the ticket office (just carry skis/snowboard across the carpark and you're there), this hostel is clean and well set up. Mens and womens toilets separated. Unisex showers with antechamber. Communal mirror/handbasin area. Communal kitchen downstairs. Breakfast is plain but healthy (sliced ham, assorted vegetables, soup, yoghurt, cereal, bread (couple of types) and jam, tea/coffee). Very good for a bargain basement place - I will likely come back again! Oh, and they can sell Tsugaike lift tickets at discount price!
I visited in early summer. The location was great in front of the bus stop. The room was a bit old hotel renovated, but it was clean and comfortable. The staff are very friendly and very attentive with a variety of activities and great photo spots. The view from the rooftop was great and the morning coffee there was an unforgettable experience. I want to come again!
