"Chris and Josh were absolutely amazing, best hotel stay I have ever had. Great breakfast and amazing service. Haven’t stayed anywhere else but I’d bet my life savings it’s the best place to stay in the area "
"We loved our ski holiday at Hotel Takimoto. The all inclusive plan was great - so much included. Meals and drinks were great and plentiful, rooms were comfy, skis and boots were good quality, and the staff were all friendly and helpful.
The hotel is in an excellent central location with easy access to the extensive Shiga Kogen ski area. A bonus was being able to ski back to the front door.
Rooms were a little warm as we had to keep them shut to deter monkeys. Would suggest a portable fan be provided.
We would love to stay at Takimoto again!"
"Room was massive, double the size of any room we have stayed in in Japan. Pillows had both Western and traditional Japan options. Fiona was encompassed in a fitted sheet (never seen this before) but kept us all warm even when it was sub 0 outside. Room had access to outdoor area, exclusive to the room, which had table and chairs. As it was an insensitive, there was only a toilet in the room - all showering had to be done downstairs in the onsen. Onsen was boiling hot - too hot for most of our group.
Tip - if you don’t want to keep pushing the button to keep the water going har a shower in the onsen on the left.
Location wise was great too - couple of minutes to the train (although up a very steep hill) and near lots of restaurants and the bus for the Snow Monkeys.
Enjoyed our stay and would stay here again."
"Staff was very kind, even with the language barrier, were more than helpful. Rooms were well equipped with extra blankets and mattresses. The hotel bus drove us to the Monkey park and to the train station upon checkout. Onsen was very hot and clean. Would love to come back! "
