Around Houdaigi Ski Resort × Hot spring × Highly rated facilities at Hotel·Ryokan

It was located in a wonderfully nature-rich setting. The meals were also very delicious. The private open-air bath in the detached annex was a truly special, escape-from-the-everyday experience. I’d love to visit again.

There are many cats on the property, and some of them will let you pet them, which is incredibly soothing. On the other hand, if you’re not comfortable around cats, it might be a bit tough. At night, when I went to the “Star” bath, a kitty had snuck in and was curled up in a changing basket (lol). Many of the staff are from overseas, but everyone’s attentiveness was truly outstanding—from guiding us to our Room to serving meals—so I never felt uneasy during my stay. Most importantly, the Onsen was fantastic: we were able to reserve several large baths for private use, and it was a lot of fun. If there’s one thing to note, since it’s surrounded by nature, you may see some insects. I was also worried about mobile reception, but Rakuten Mobile and au worked without any issues. I’d love to visit again when the weather is cooler.

This was my first visit. Above all, the open-air bath with its wonderful sense of openness surrounded by beautiful nature, and the atmosphere throughout the property, were truly lovely. I would definitely like to return in a different season. I was very satisfied.

Thank you for taking care of us on our family ski trip. This was our fourth stay. It was our first time in a Room without a bath, but the sink was large and very convenient to use. The food is always delicious. Since this time was spring skiing, the menu changed with the season, including a dish made with rapeseed blossoms, so no matter how many times we stay in the same season, we never get tired of it and always leave happily full. The ski resort is right in front of the Hotel, and there is also a free Shuttle Service to Jomo-Kogen Station, which is greatly appreciated when traveling with children. All staff members are cheerful and very kind. The open-air bath can be cold in winter, so we recommend washing up and warming up slowly in the large public bath first, then using it to enjoy a snowy-view bath!

I have traveled to many places, but this was an indescribably wonderful space where I had a truly great time. Despite the unfortunate rain, I was able to enjoy the outdoors without getting wet. Bringing my dog, enjoying the open-air bath, and experiencing outdoor activities—all my wishes came true!
