Reviews and Ratings
My stay at the hotel was quite pleasant, thanks to its charming European cottage design and proximity to the Asahidake Ropeway. The meal options were decent, but I found them to be just average overall. The onsen experience was enjoyable, especially the private one surrounded by thick snow, which added a lovely atmosphere. The hotel's shuttle service was invaluable for getting there without a car, though the dining options could definitely use some improvement.
The hotel is charming with its European cottage style and is conveniently located near the Asahidake Ropeway, making it a great base for hiking enthusiasts. While our dining experience was just okay, the Kashikiri onsen offered a delightful atmosphere, especially with the snow outside. The transport service provided by the hotel was invaluable, given the challenging access for those without cars. However, be advised that the food could use some improvement, particularly the breakfast.
The hotel is quite charming, designed like a European cottage and conveniently located near the Asahidake Ropeway. While the on-site dining offers either Japanese or French cuisine, the food was just average. The private onsen was atmospheric, especially with the snowy surroundings. Transfers to the hotel are a big plus, making it easier for travelers without a vehicle. However, the overall experience could be improved, particularly in the dining department.
This hotel has a charming European cottage design and is conveniently located near the Asahidake Ropeway, making it ideal for those looking to explore the area. The onsen facilities are decent, especially the Kashikiri option, which offers a lovely atmosphere amidst the snow. However, the dining options fell a bit short, with meals that were just passable and some cold breakfast items. The price is justified by the transfers provided, but I wished for better food quality.
Staying at this hotel was a mixed bag for me. It has a charming European cottage style and is super close to the Asahidake Ropeway, which is a definite plus. While the dining options for dinner and breakfast weren't all that great—just okay, really—the onsen experience was nice, especially the Kashikiri one. The hotel also offers helpful transfers, which made getting there a lot easier. However, it wasn’t without its drawbacks; overall, it felt a bit average.
