Great stay on a budget near Naeba ski resort.
Large lodge within short walking distance of Prince Gondola number 2.
My group of 5 stayed in for 2 nights. We had 2 tatami rooms with the wall divider separated to make the room 1 large room.
Sleeping arangements were Futons on the floor which we had to unfold and prepare ourselves, but everything was provided in the cupboards.
Sinks, toilets are shared with everyone on the same floor but there is plenty to go around for everyone. There is also a mens only and womens only communal bath on the 1st floor.
The rooms were dated but had everything we needed, plenty of heating, an air purifier, TV, good WiFi and plenty of space to hang clothes up.
One of my friends did comment on a bug, but it didn't bother him and I didn't see any myself. The rooms had bug spray available for use. The place is old and your in the mountains, so I think the odd bug here is to be expected.
The manager who I believe is Chinese but speaks fluent Japanese was very kind to my group and I during our stay. She was the only employee we saw. Infact, when we arrived the whole Lodge was dark and quiet, but the doors were open, which was kind of a surreal experience, but our room key had already been left on the front counter, so there was no need to wait for her to check us in.
Parking cost 500yen a night.
Keep your expectations in check. This place is dated but perfectly comfortable for those on a budget. It's in a good location and the owner was kind and helpful. She may not speak Eng though.
