This was perfect from check in to check out.
Staff met us at the front gate, check in was easy with Kato helping us with dinner reservations and explaining where the onsen, reading room and other services were located.
Breakfast and dinner were exceptional... all of the staff were so attentive. Arina was so lovely too. The food was incredible, delicious and tasty.
The room was spacious and the bathroom with the private onsen was perfect.
Our stay was perfect... Highly recommend staying here!!!
The rooms were large, clean and comfortable. Ibsen was well equipped and clean. I liked the indoor and outdoor options. Food was amazing. I would recommend adding the half board to your reservation. Transportation to station and ski resort was seamless.
Love the location, which is 15 min from Ogizawa station for the Tateyama Alpen Route. It has plenty of parking and staff welcomed us at the parking lot and guided us through the entire check-in process. You will have to make request early if you have a preferred dining time for breakfast and dinner. For dinner, it was either 5:30 or 7:30. There are more options for breakfast but if you check in late, they may be out of spots for certain times. Dinner was very fancy and consisted of multiple small bites. Overall very delicious food and great service. We also love the free activities near the lobby. When we were there, they had rice congee/porridge in the morning, tea in the afternoon and sake in the evening. We also enjoyed the private bath tub in our room since we were traveling with small children. Out of the three hotels we stayed in this trip, this had the "coldest" hot spring at around 40 degrees Celcius, which was perfect for the kids.
Nice resort and onsen facilities... the free hot sake event is great especially in winter time
However, it will be great to offer more frequent shuttle bus service to nearby JR station :)
I was deeply impressed by the service offered by KAI Alps staff, which provided us a good memory during our stay at Omarchi Onsen this winter. This is undoubtedly one of the best pick in the Onsen.
Everything was great from the start of our in room check in. Excellent service from all the staff with special mention to Ochia. Complimentary car park, 6 star half board menu. Both breakfast and dinner were so sumptuous and exquisitely planned! The onsen facilities were fantastic too. My family enjoyed our 2 nights of relax stay enroute to our alpine route. Hoshino hospitality is out of this world! Will defintely stay at Hoshino when we travel to Japan again.
This is one of the best resorts you can possibly stay at. Everything is 10/10. It is all in one for everything you need. Note that the area it is in only has hotels for the most part, so it is difficult to get to a convenience store if you have no car. About an 8 minute uber which will run you about $20 USD round trip if you need something. Although often the resort has all you need. And they have bus service for free to the ski resort. I couldnt praise this resort more highly.
Nice hotel located in quite remote area, the town is quite dead. The facilities are well maintain and clean but you can tell its not very modern. The price is high and thus not very worth to stay here.
