I've always been curious about this place when I go skiing, but this was my first time staying there. I think it's one of the oldest types of vacation villages. Perhaps due to the coronavirus pandemic, when I arrived in the evening, the lobby was empty, and even the coffee and other drinking areas were covered with cloth, giving it a lonely feel. The staff at the front desk were very business-like and didn't have a single smile on their faces, making them feel a bit curt. I guess it depends on the person, but this person has always had that impression. The room was a Japanese-style room, so it was a very ordinary inn room. Futon bedding is basically self-service, but if you request it before 6pm, they will lay it out for you, so I asked. The same services as other vacation villages include a basket to change into when you go to the bath, and yukata in different sizes. These things are already becoming commonplace. That's good! The bath feels like a super public bath, probably because it is used by day-trippers. There is a large rest area just outside the bath, but no one is using it right now, so it was quiet. The hot springs are very nice, there is no strong odor or color, and when you soak in the water, it feels very pleasant to the touch. I was relieved of my fatigue. Meals are buffet style for both dinner and breakfast. All of them were delicious. In particular, the Shinshu beef steak for dinner was medium-cooked and exquisite! There's also lamb chops, which are fresh. Also, by combining tempura, sashimi, etc. with rice in your own way, you can make tempura bowls, seafood bowls, etc. It was a lineup that seemed to have a lot of fun. It was nice to have soba noodles for both dinner and breakfast, which is typical of Shinshu. The horse sashimi was also delicious. Nowadays, it seems that the slope where you can ski directly here is not open, so it is a shame that the convenience of using it when skiing is not so good. There are no convenience stores nearby, so if you need anything, it's best to prepare it in advance. I think the good points are that the hot springs and food are good.
