"This is a nice budget hotel.  The hotel is a bit outdated, but the room is clean and spacious.  Hotel staff are nice and helpful, fluent in English.  Good facilities - big lockers for skis/boots, big common area, indoor/outdoor onsen.   It is up on the hilly slope.  That's the only drawback, but it can still consider as that it is located at a convienent location in Happo One.  We were happy to be able to book a room there at last minute (before it is sold out!) - to attend the Happo One Fire Festival.  "
