Hotel Housei

The shuttle bus driver waiting at the station was very friendly and took care of our bags. Arriving at the hotel, the staff greeted us very warmly and quickly got us into our rooms. The superior room was very beautiful and had a fantastic view of the snowy mountains, and the outdoor onsen with the snow coming down and around it was gorgeous and extremely relaxing. We didnt do the meals, but it smelled so good that next time we're definitely including meals in our stay. In the morning, we took their provided shuttle to the snow monkey park and enjoyed ourselves there before we came back. The whole area was very walkable and we loved every minute being there. Only complaint I have is that there is no conditioner in the men's onsen showers. We fully intend on staying here again!

The staff were all pleasant and friendly. The two girls at reception were helpful and spoke enough English to be understood if not used google translate. The Thai man who looked after breakfast was great. The onsens were fabulous and the temperatures alternated between them on different days The room was a good size (one person) a little dated but that was ok The shuttle to the train station was available any time in the mornings and it was only a 4 minute walk back in the afternoon Lots of restaurants close by Breakfast buffet was plentiful with Japanese and western options available Definitely not a ski in/out hotel as advertised on the websites Would recommend if looking for off the mountain budget accommodation

Really enjoyed the indoor and outdoor onsen experience, the outdoor onsen being a huge highlight as it was snowing outside at the time. The room was really spacious and very comfortable

The breakfadt was traditional and very plentiful. The onsen hot springs were very enjoyable and relaxing although the outdoor pool was very hot.
