Liked: Cleanliness
Staff was extremely helpful and friendly. Location was fab. Place definitely gives vintage vibes and nostalgic feels but we felt very comfortable nonetheless. Breakfast and dinner buffets were super tasty and had great variety each day. The shabu shabu and yakiniku restaurants onsite were also amazing! Some of the best wagyu we’ve had! I would recommend getting your rentals elsewhere, as we didn’t have a good experience with the rentals onsite, whilst cheap the stock was definitely outdated. My boots broke on the first run and I had to hire new boots at the closest rental I could find.

Buen lugar para hospedarse

Excelente espacio para hospedarse, el staff es súper amable y alegre. La habitación en la que nos quedamos era bastante grande y cómoda. Por el precio es acorde a lo que ofrece el hotel. Solo si hace falta actualizar parte del mobiliario para disfrutar aún más la estancia.

駐車場遠い　受付アメ舐めながらの対応　夕飯まずい　冷蔵庫が無く　ウォシュレット無いし便座も冷たい　　畳が凹んでいたり非常に残念でした。　　イメージとしては学校の修学旅行とかで使うホテルって感じ。特に夕飯は全てチンして出てきた感じで唐揚げですらまずい　中学生　小学生の子供達も食べられる物が少なかったです。唯一良かった点はバイキング後に行った　ネパール料理(ホテルの1F)がとても接客も良くとても美味しかったです。

親切なスタッフと便利な立地

宅配便で、スキー板とスノボを送りましたが、スムーズに受け取りが出来ました。無料で広い荷物置き場は、チェックイン前やチェックアウト後にスキーをする際に大変便利でした。浴場が清掃時間を除いて、24時間利用できるのも良いと思います。夕食、朝食ともにバイキングでしたが、価格に対しては充分な品数と品質であると思います。建物がかなり老朽化していることは否定出来ませんが、畳は綺麗で、タオルや浴衣も新しく、問題はありません。部屋のトイレにウォシュレットが無いのは、少しだけ残念でした。到着時／出発時には、ホテルの前から近くの駐車場へすぐに送迎対応してくれました。ゲレンデまでは充分に近いのですが、雪の中をスキーやスノボを持って歩けば5分ぐらいはかかります。

We stayed at Hotel Japan for 2 nights in peak snow season. The staff were helpful, and the place and a nice musical base ambience. The other guests all seemed friendly and relaxed which was good. One of the music rooms also functions as a locker / baggage change area, which really helped on checkout day. The hotel also has a semi-separate Nepalese curry restaurant which makes for a good dinner. Parking was good, and since it's about a 5 minute walk from the hotel, the staff will let you park in front for the initial luggage drop off. The onsen isn't as big as you'd think, but it is clean and seemed in good repair. The foyer also has an excellent vinyl music collection and turntable, which adds some atmosphere, as well as a library of manga and books to borrow.
