The lodge is just before snow wall. Dinner & breakfast was excellent. We stayed at japanese style room, which was fun.

4 loud drunk ladies in the main living area made it uncomfortable to sit there so was in my room all day. Hotel staff should maybe monitor how much alcohol is consumed so guests are not disruptive for other guests to enjoy the facilities

The location is probably fantastic but unfortunately it was totally fogged in for 2 days I was there so I did not get to experience the outdoors and ended up sitting in a mountain lodge watching Netflix. All part of travel.

Shared bathroom probably is not for everyone, 1 of my friend did not take the bath during the stay due to too shy to share bathroom with others. other than that, all is good.

This is a lodge located just a little bit below Murodo, which is famous for the snow wall (Yuki no Ōtani). breakfast and dinner is provided, you can also take lunch at the lodge with a reasonable price, which i strongly suggest it. We stay at April for the snow wall trip and not really feeling cold in the room, not even using the heater provided despite the temperature outside is about 3 Celcius. Will definitely visit again in another season!

It is so good I am feeling no other place can match now…

Absolutely everything. From the moment I stepped in and was greeted; seeing the interaction between the staffs; knowing what they are capable of; being helped when I was having some sort of problems; I was even told to watch the sunset: I do not speak or really understand Japanese, yet I know I really should drop what I was doing and grab my camera and get to the back of the building. Because they are enthusiastic yet really polite as tourists all know Japanese are.

The WiFi can be weak at times in the room

The staff were all very friendly and welcoming. A few of them were also able to speak English and Chinese! The food was delicious and the atmosphere was great. You can also get a wonderful view of the mountain right out of the window from your room! They also lend me snowshoe and long boots for me to walk in the snow, just right behind the lodging.

It was basic accommodation but it has everything you need and the staff more than make up for it. The WiFi didn't work consistently but you're in the mountains, so that will happen. Breakfast is served at 6:30am, which is quite early for me.

I loved my stay here. The staff were absolutely lovely and very helpful. They provided snow boots for free when my trainers were too wet and put them in a heated room, so that they could dry. They made every effort to make sure I was comfortable and regularly chatted to me, as I was on my own. The food was very tasty (dinner and breakfast are included in the price) and they provide packed lunch for a fee if needed. The shower was hot and the hot tub was small but lovely to soak in after lots of walking. The room was nice and warm and had a great view of the mountains. They show a documentary about the snow wall. They reserved my bus to Bijodaira for me and because it was raining, they told the bus driver to use the horn when he was outside, so that I could wait inside.

The people who work here are wonderfully kind and helpful, and our stay was a delight. The food was quite good, the setting was gorgeous, and we appreciated that they offer free rides up to Murodo. Highly recommended!

WiFi is weak in the room.

It is a no frills lodge surrounded by majestic mountains. Good for hiking in the areas..Lodge is clean & the owners & staff are very friendly. Easily accessible, the bus stops in front of the lodge.

Nothing: )

Amazing scenery around. Staffs are very nice, friendly and cheerful. Both dinner and breakfast are yummy. Clean facilities. Comfortable beds. It’s my second visit within the year but still feel so blessed to stay in a place like this!

Nothing, it was all great!!

It’s a great place to stay for a weekend getaway in the mountains. The staff is so kind and helpful, and the place is very comfortable, clean and quite. And the food is soooo good!!!

The price was definitely high, but perhaps understandable given the beautiful, secluded location and the excellent service / meals!

We loved the staff at the mountain lodge, and the meals were super delicious! The bathrooms were also really nice (like a Japanese sento). It was enjoyable to relax in the bath after a long day of travelling and hiking to the lodge. The views were amazing. We got to see a beautiful sunset before dinner was served. In the early morning, we were driven up to Murodo station so that we could hike up Mt Oyama!

Not much.

The dinner and the breakfast were hearty, healthy and naturally indulgent. Enjoyed chatting with the hotel staffs who were most considerate and caring.

Only thing is the hand washing area on the second floor only had ice cold water, but that's explained on the sign, so just go to the first floor.

Beautiful location in the mountains, close to the action but quieter than Murodo. Staff were super nice. Great food both nights/mornings, freshly baked bread. We would stay here again!

The location

Stayed in October 2023

Alpine crossing stop, easy to find. Lodge is pretty basic, and run efficiently to suit location. Meals at set times, limited access to lounge/cafe/dining hall at other times. Limited shared bathroom. OK for 1 night, but not an ideal place to stay indoors if you're planning a few nights stay. Lodge shuttle back to Murodo was helpful.

Stayed in October 2023

Very friendly staff. Welcomed me and gave me a wonderful tour. Very helpful the rest of my stay. Meals were delicious and generous portions.

Everyone was very friendly. The communication was awesome and the mountain hut was very cosy and clean. We really loved it here. They even prepared vegan dinner for us after asking. Really extraordinary accommodation.

The staff are very friendly and can also speak English. Food is very good as well.

Once dinner was completed and a short information video of the local region was shown then the dining/lounge area was shut and you were back to your room at 8:30 for an early night. This was compensated by an early breakfast and a good night sleep.

A great mountain location right at the bus stop. Keeping in mind the “mountain hut” idea the facilities are basic but very good basic. The staff were very friendly and helpful and the owner drove us to the Murodo station early so we did not have to catch the bus for the short distance (about 2km).

Stayed in October 2023

Just make sure you get off the bus at the correct stop : )

Loved our experience staying at the lodge, very authentic stay and the most beautifully kind and lovely staff! We really enjoyed being called down for meals which were always exquisitely laid out and served.
