Family friendly ski in ski out

Reviewed By bronweng636

One of the best places we have stayed in Japan. We spent 4 nights here on a family ski trip and cant wait to go back. The owners are very helpful and run a welcoming, clean and comfortable place. They helped us organise transport to and from the station and answered all questions about the ski slopes, lift tickets etc. The rooms are large with plenty of hanging space and room for ski/boot bags and all your luggage. The lounge area has a fireplace lit every night to keep you cozy while waiting for the amazing 5 course dinner. Yes, what they all say here on trip advisor is true, the food is top quality. Dont be put off by the lack of ensuite, there are comfortable, clean bathrooms just a few steps away from each bedroom. The small bath is actually much prettier than the photos show and there is room for about 3 people to shower and soak at the same time. We never found it crowded or had to wait. You can also book it all to yourslef if you prefer. It's even prettier if you open up one of the windows looking out on to the snow. We will be back for sure.

This is onsen

Reviewed By YutaroEhara

This "onsen" was one of my bucket list long time. There is located in the deep of the mountains, near the prefectural border of Gunma and Niigata. I drove a car from Echigo-Yuzawa in Niigata pref. After passing the border, you will find a junction which is connected with the destination. 10 minutes later, I could see an anciant ryokan, "Choju-kan" in the end of the road. The "Choju-kan" has been established in Meiji-era, more than 100 years ago. The famous Literary giants were staying there for their writeing work. There are 3 onsen in the "Choju-kan". Oldest one is an old fashion, "konyoku", mixed bathing style. These onsen are also served to the "one day guest" but the timing is only limited the mixed style. However for the staying guest is able to use for limited time for 2 hours female only timing in the night time. Another onsen are switching between male and female depends on the timing. Some of room is not equiped the private rest room however all the guest can enjoy and feel the anciant atmosphie of Japan. I strongly recommend this "Choju-kan"!

Outdated hotel with excellent onsen

Reviewed By pinyohiso

The rooms are very spacious. Unfortunately they look old and outdated. There is no in room wifi or english tv channel. Their food is just OK, nothing special. I didn't try onsen but my friend said its excellent. This would be a good place for one who wanna experience authentic japan. Not good for modern style travelers.

Great Hotel with many hotsprings and impressive dinner and breakfast

Reviewed By kdoi2017

This huge hotel has many large hotsprings inside and ouside the building. Dinner and breakfast are impressive with many different kinds of Japanese and Chinese food. It is best to avoid weekends and holiday seasons so that it is cheaper (about 1/2 the price) and not crowded.

Excellent location, worst Japanese food I’ve ever eaten

Reviewed By diaonm

First of all I must say, the location/onsen itself is amazing. Quite possibly one of the best in Japan, breathtaking views and also tattoo friendly. The food that was served to us on the other hand was a different story. Dinner was presented to us as a kaiseki meal, but instead of having everything coursed out like a normal kaiseki meal, it was all just strewn out on the table. Most of the food was clearly just frozen food thawed out and presented to us. Sashimi clearly smelled fouled, completely cold grilled fish, and duck meat that was chewy and tough like old boots. We decided to leave before the “Gohan” course of the meal which was the only thing coursed to us at the end of the meal. Our server asked us why we were leaving so soon as to which we told her that the meal was basically inedible. She responded with “I’m sorry” instead of trying to elevate the situation and give us something a bit more satisfactory, almost as if this is a commonality for her. With my 20+ years in the hospitality business I would be the first to tell you that you never apologize for anything because it’s clearly admitting that your food/service is sub pay at best. Later in the evening I spoke to some Thai tourists (I lived in Thailand for 2 years) asking them what they though of the food, and without any sort of hesitation told me they thought it was terrible. My wife, who is Japanese also spoke to some Japanese tourists that also said similar things but were a bit more reserved due to the culture nuances of Japanese people in general. The following day we made a complaint to the manager at the front desk about our experience and basically told us the same thing that our server the previous night told us “I’m sorry” and even went as far as telling us that other people have complained in the past and that “he would inform the kitchen of this matter. No comps for anything, no “we’ll make a better experience for you the next time on us” just “sorry” and basically shrugged his shoulders. Despite the amazing location or not, my wife and I spent lots of money and our valuable time to visit this place expecting an incredible experience. Needless to say it’s highly doubtful we would ever come back unless it’s complimentary on the house. Bring your own food, or go to another onsen

beautiful resort and outdoor onsen, great food and ski lessons

Reviewed By Frank P

Great stay at this resort - I learned to ski along with my two daughters in elementary school. We did a full day lesson and the instructors were fantastic. We parked our van and took the shuttle from the Jomo Kogen shinkansen station. The drive up to the resort was quite beautiful. The room had a really nice view of the mountains and the outdoor onsen was beautiful. The buffet dinner and breakfast were great; there is also an a la carte ramen restaurant.

Worst experience ever I had in my life.without staying even they didn’t refund the money.

Reviewed By Uresha W

The first impression was the worst experience ever I had in my life. The Foreign lady who was in the front desk she doesn't know how to talk to the guest. She was very unpleasant and argued with several matters which she could have explained us nicely. And she ignored our request and didn't pay a proper attention completely. And the most unpleasant thing they told us, that they don't care about OTA guest. That's very annoying to even hear. If they are a hotel, giving the hospitality to everyone should be their first priority without considering OTA or FIT guest. So I can not recommend this place anyone. We waste our money without staying.Don’t waste your money on this place.It is really bad options for your vacation.
