Pension FOLKLORE

Cosy and rustic vibes. 5min walk to Suginohara ski resort or shuttle buses to other resorts. Dinners were fantastic. Pick up from the train station was very helpful. The owners were lovely. They even had a piano and guitar that guests could play.

The property is at a great location— just 5 minutes walking to the lowest lift for Suginohara ski resort. It’s a little far from the train station, but they offer pickup and drop off. But the best part of the pension is the lovely husband and wife couple who run it. They are incredibly kind and helpful—they drove us to the ski resort the first morning and got us discounts on lift tickets and rentals. Each evening we enjoyed a nice bath and had the most amazing home cooked meals! The rooms were simple but clean. Floor mattresses rather than regular tatami for extra padding. Traditional Japanese bean bag pillows but it was fine. This pension represents everything wonderful about rural Japan and if you have a chance to stay here definitely take it!

That we couldn’t stay longer

Fantastic owners who were extremely welcoming. Atmospheric dining room and the whole pension had the personal touch of its owners on display. Easy walk to Suginohara lift - no need to drive up.

Marked down because no western pillows and the bed was a bit hard.

Very close to ski fields. Good breakfast -although It cost extra

Very expensive for what you get. Very short beds, small rooms and very dated.
