Very specious and clean apartment. Very comfortable beds. Private Onsen for each apartment. great price. great combination of traditional and modern stay. We had fireworks waiting for us - nice personal touch.

Need to be prepared to the fact that this is an unusual place. Some of the decor is troubling and needed getting used to before we felt "at home". one of the rooms did not have an AC, only fan. this could be a problem in the summertime. The shower is downstairs, in the private Onsen (No shower in the apartment, only toilet)

Absolutely amazing location between the lakes and Mount Lo! Tons of space and could easily fit 4 people. A very very very unique space.

The art was a little scary to us! It was awesome but a little freaky.

It was very nice to have a private onsen and the rooms were large and comfortable. The art installations and theming were very interesting and really added to the experience.

It's a very unique experience especially since we rented out the whole hotel.

There were quite a few bugs in the shower area as it is connected to the outdoors

A real special place full of surprises.

The indoor onsen is not clean.

It's a very quiet area we just stopped over for 1 night. The room is very interesting and stands out as its not like any hotel we have stayed before. The room is huge with interesting decor and the beds are so comfy.

Very spacious room, even had a private onsen indoor and outdoor and a balcony. The guest house is also an art gallery, so there are interesting pieces everywhere. There are several restaurants within 1-2 blocks walk. We were there to visit Lake Kussharo and other parts of Akan Mashu National Park, very convenient location. The staff left us park maps and information. There is even a picnic basket and mini-fridge in the room.

We really enjoyed everything. If I could make one suggestion, having tea in the room would have been perfect.

There are alot of things to improve in this hotel, but yet, there are sooo many things that they have done right in this place! 1) Finding the hotel in the snow was not easy. Pls rely on the map code. Host can improve by sending out pre information about the map code and such for people to easily find this place. 2) Being in Japan, english was not practised much but it was passable & we could understand. 3) We were first briefed that our bathroom would be in a separate place and this worried us initially since we always wanted an attached bathroom. (toilet was in the room though) And now the wonderful parts! 1) The personal and private onsen(both indoor & outdoor was totally wow!), especially in winter! 2) Host was very accomodating and hospitable. They actually put together an english tourist information and placed it in the shoe box for us to find the next day! That was a wonderful geature! 3) Host saw that it was snowing, without asking, prepared us to umbrella for us to use! 4) As a leaving present, host actually prepared a little something as a farewell gift! 5) It was a very very quiet place filled with very friendly & helpful people. We were stuck in the snow whilst trying to get out in the morning and someone driving past actually stopped to help us push our car out! This was very appreciated! A small hotel with 3 rooms only, definitely private, like a quirky art museum, and a very comfortable place to stay! Loved the set up(and every night in winter, a bonfire!) of the hotel managed by a small staff only. It was a lovely lovely stay and we would return in winter again, just to experience the onsen again.

There was no microwave/cooking facilities. Breakfast would need to be simple but other than that, the place is for you to enjoy totally!
