The distance between the lodge and the ski area are closed, so convenience. And there are many shops nearby for skiing tools shopping, restaurants, food trucks, convenient stores and souvenirs shops, nice. Three of us could occupy a room was great. No need to share it with others.

If your main purpose is to ski and sleepcheap..

I've been staying here for almost 10 years but they did renovations and it apparently changed owners. The big advantage is it is cheap and right next to the lift. They used to have a more comfortable feel with a lounge room/ library with video games and movies and such but it has been replaced with a ski rental place? Bummer. Also they used to have a shared kitchen but now it is not available and they use it to prep the breakfast, which is very minimal. No amenities in the rooms, no soap, etc. Shared bathrooms and showers. Now your wear your shoes indoors everywhere.

コロナ禍の滞在

コロナ感染予防のため、共用キッチンが使えませんでした。自販機も稼働しておらず、近くにコンビニがあるものの、室内に電気ポットもなく、コーヒー一杯飲めない状況でした。コロナ禍で仕方がないとは言え、使える電気ポットや電子レンジは準備してほしかったです。
