This hotel has an extremely convenient location, and it only takes about 5–10 minutes on foot to reach the ski slope, making it ideal for skiers who do not need to carry their equipment onto a bus, but can go directly from the hotel to the ski run.
The hotel also provides plenty of parking spaces, so self‑driving guests can park without any stress, which is very convenient for driving up the mountain during the ski season. The hotel facilities are well equipped, including indoor and outdoor hot spring baths, restaurants and lounges, allowing guests to relax comfortably on the premises all day.
The hot spring area is very spacious, with clear water and a clean, tidy environment, and leaves you feeling completely relaxed and comfortable after a soak. The rooms are spacious and well arranged, with comfortable beds and an overall clean, elegant feel that makes for a very peaceful stay.
The housekeeping staff cleans thoroughly, and the public areas are also kept neat and orderly, giving the entire hotel a well‑organized and professional impression. Overall, this hotel performs outstandingly in terms of location, parking, facilities, hot spring quality, and room standard, and is especially suitable for ski trips.

Clean room, amenities, massage chair, suite-like room, futuristic Toyo toilet, TV in each room, two beds, spacious bathroom, the whole package.
I stayed for three nights in the Luxury suite. It was worth it. They have three restaurants in the hotel. The Zao Ropeway is 5 to 10 minutes away. You can by your gondola tickets at the front desk at a discounted price. Location wise, you are literally near the slopes. The bus terminal is a 7 to 10 minute walk.

1. Only 2 coins laundering machines is not enough.
2. The ski gear and the rental process have to be enhanced. The gear is too old and there is no professional staff to help adjusting the gear. My boots have no suitable size provided to me even though I have booked 2 weeks in advanced at least. Also, the boots is broken during my stay, thats why I have to changed another one.
3. I changed my dinner order twice during my 5 days stay and everything my order was not taken correctly which they always provide another type of course to my wife and me. Unfortunately, they also made a incorrect drink bill to me and my friend which is repeated costing both me and my friend.

Zao Onsen is a spectacular location for skiing & this hotel has it all… you can literally ski in & out of the hotel & see the ropeway, cable car station & slopes from your window. The buffet breakfast has everything you could want (both authentic Japanese & western options for those who want such). You can walk everywhere, slopes, cable car, ropeway, restaurants, cafes, skihire from the hotel. And at the end of the day.. you have access to an indoor & incredible outdoor natural onsen… where you can soak your tired muscles as snow falls lightly around you. It’s magical. Couldn’t recommend highly enough.
