Marushige

the hosts spoke English, accomidated us with our friends in the next door room and assisted us with lift passes, bus passes, the child who came with our group and food allergies. They went over and above our expectations for hospitality!

Thank you so much Seiko and staff at Marushige. We very much enjoyed our visit. Lodge is very cozy and the onsen warming. Breakfasts were amazing. Thank you

staff were very kind, flexible and friendly.

mattress could be better but overall everything was great!

Place is centrally located, between the bus terminal and teh snow resort. It's also very accessible from Oyu street

Location was ideal Exceptional owners and staff Great value

Stairs to rooms are extremely slippery in socks and ill-fitting slippers supplied

I was very pleased with the place. The owner can speak some English and communication was no issue with the help of Google translate. Most of the guests that were staying there didn't natively speak Japanese. I think the host went a long way to make everyone feel at home. My biggest challenge was backing my car in to drop off luggage as the entrance was a bit tight but the owner came out to help, parked my car in a sheltered location for the trip and all went well. They even can courier your luggage (e.g. snowboard) directly from the place so no extra hassle of dealing with that. Overall, very happy with the place. The only small complaint is the mattress is a bit on the thin side so the sleep wasn't the most comfortable. But overall the place is clean and well-maintained.

I've booked a room off season and was the only guest, but instead of feeling lonely the hosts welcomed me and because this year it started snowing very late (I wanted to ski) they gave me tips what else I can do in the small village and around. They prepared me a very delicious breakfast and the room was great! Such comfy beds. There are so many Onsen in this village, I couldn't even try half of them and I stayed a week. Some of them are very hot, maybe to hot for European taste. I definitely will come back here one day!

I like where this is a Japanese style onsen hostel, the wood and atmosphere nails the type of expectation you would look for in a budget onsen hostel. The bathing room is reserved for each room, this is pleasant for foreign guests who likes more privacy when bathing. I certainly enjoyed the location where its near the entrance of the ski resort as its my main plan during this visit.

squeaky floors and lack of noise insulation, you can clearly hear other guests walking or going to the toilet. Although I am tired enough to ignore the majority, you sometimes get disturbed during the midnight or if kids of other guests are going wild.

great ski resort, very central location of the accommodation, very friendly hosts

Great location, a few minutes walk from the bus stop and main street, and just a few more minutes to the escalators which take you up to the skifield. Friendly staff, great breakfasts and the dinner we had one night was delicious! The Japanese style bathrooms are nice, currently you can book them for your private use. Fantastic place to stay if you want to enjoy the snow, or just absorb the atmosphere of a small ski town (please try the steamed buns sold in the street!). I would definitely recommend staying at Marushige, I would like to come back again one day.

Fantastic breakfast, either Japanese or international as per choice. Both were really great with local ingredients and very delicious. For example sourdough bread, home grown vegetables and rice. The owner and her husband were very helpful, and such nice people. The location is great, just short stroll to the main street with restaurants, cafes, and the lovely small local thermal baths. For skiing just walk a few minutes to the escalator going to the lift system.

Nothing to not like here.

Excellent food. Great location. Wonderful service.

clean, warm, central, free tea / coffee

communication

clean accommodation, nice owners and staffs

there was food smell came into the room in the morning

Amazing Location very close to the base of the mountain and a very short stroll to the centre of the village. We were worried about the shared bathroom and toilets. The shared bathroom had a roster system so my partner and I had our own time in the bathroom that included a traditional bath. Toilet in close proximity to room. so it was fine. Hosts were very sweet and the ski storage and drying room was top notch. The staff are even abler to do repairs.

Bed mats were too thin, however we didnt ask at the desk for a solution, they may have had thicker. We were in a traditional room.
