Around Houdaigi Ski Resort × Day-Use Accommodation With Free-Flowing Natural OnsenHighly rated facilities at Hotel·Ryokan

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.
