Lodges in Japan

"Yuka and Motoharu were exceptional hosts. The property was beautiful and we had the most wonderful experience there. 3 weeks in Japan and this was by far our favourite accommodation. "

"The room was VERY SMALL. Nothing like the photo in their webpage. Massively overpriced compared to all of our other Hokkaido accomodations. Extra charge for a very poor very limited breakfast. No room service whatsoever. Our only Japan disappointment!"

"Everything was awesome!!!"

"Great place to spend an holiday in Karuizawa. Very comfortable and owner very kind. You can even have a tasty breakfast at reasonable price! "

"Har to recommend this place more - Craig (owner) was super helpful, the coffee was amazing and everything worked well. "

"Convenient base from which to explore the various ski resorts of Shiga Kogen. Sun Valley is one of the first areas you approach from Nagano, so arrival by bus from Nagano station was quick and easy (a 3+- min walk from the stop on the highway.). Sun Valley's chairlift is right outside the front door, from there we were able to piece together the chair/gondola lifts to make it to all the other resorts too (1.75 hrs skiing & lifts to Okushiga Kogen.) Communal bath was a highlight, indoor only but...

"The lodge was absolutely wonderful. We honestly had not slept as well as we did at the lodge anywhere else in Japan. Not sure if it was the mountain air, the onsen, or the large rooms that allowed us to settle in and spread out. The hospitality was incredible; the hosts went above and beyond to make us feel welcome and at home, including by providing a bountiful breakfast each morning. My husband and I wish we could have stayed there our entire trip!"

"The resort is located in an astonishing island, with plenty of natural wonders to discover. The hotel has a unique style, and it offers all the comforts and amenities to have a wonderful time. In particular we loved the food, and the quality of the service. Definitely recommended."

"Property was a short walk to the niseko bus line, lots of parking for our rental gear, washer and dryer was great, and breakfast abs company lovely! "

"食事などはボリュームもありとても満足しています。 しかし 暖房器具が合わなくて苦労しました。 暖房を使うと喉が痛くなってしまい暖房を使わないまま寝たこと。 家族連れの子供が終始騒いでおり残念ながら夜も朝もうるさかったこと。 これはホテル側の問題ではないので難しいところです。 暖房器具は部屋に備え付けのものを使うと喉がやられてしまい咳き込んでしまいました。"

"The facilities were nice and the owners were very welcoming. For older less limber, guest the futons beds on the floor made it a little difficult to get up"

"Its a nice place very peaceful. You can relax your mind in your surroundings. But need more days. "
