I stayed for seven days of skiing, the room and services was truly excellent. With plenty of amenities and stuff to do beside skiing. The hotels foods and gifts shops is the best that I have ever seen for a Japanese ski resort. Their outdoor onsen which is a short bus ride away is a must. Their central food court is highly recommended if you are on a budget. Unfortunately this was truly a bad year for snow sports here. The conditions was icy on the lower half of the mountain., due to the warm winter. Hopefully global warming will skip next year. I would definitely come back again. Please be aware slow chairlift due to a lot of beginners and first time skiers and snowboarders.
