Hospitable and warm doesn’t even begin to describe this place. Captain, his family and staff took amazing care of us during our stay. Captain’s wife prepared delicious healthy meals for us every day. Guests from all over the world gathered in the evenings to enjoy games, drinks and conversation. We booked a Japanese style room, the beds were comfortable and the room was spacious. Monkeys can be seen in the trees while enjoying the onsen. Shared showers and washrooms were clean and well maintained. Located on the ski run in Sun Valley. Easy bus access to Nagano Station. Had an amazing time here, would love to come back again soon.

My stay was amazing, our host made a point to ask how the day went and what plans we had to see if he could help in anyway! Great location for getting in some laps at the ski resort

Convenient base from which to explore the various ski resorts of Shiga Kogen. Sun Valley is one of the first areas you approach from Nagano, so arrival by bus from Nagano station was quick and easy (a 3+- min walk from the stop on the highway.). Sun Valley's chairlift is right outside the front door, from there we were able to piece together the chair/gondola lifts to make it to all the other resorts too (1.75 hrs skiing & lifts to Okushiga Kogen.) Communal bath was a highlight, indoor only but with big windows overlooking the forest outside. Loved their bar/breakfast area when open, and the dinners we had each night were great - Japanese style with a variety of foods even picky eaters looked satisfied. Thanks to the Captain and entire staff for making us feel well taken care of :-).
