I stayed in autumn, and the location was divine; surrounded by trees with yellow and orange leaves, I enjoyed my morning coffee by the fire with a view of the lake. All the staff were exceptionally friendly and hospitable - I was well looked after. I will definitely be back for another beautiful stay!

First, the design of the house is super western and super beautiful just right infront of ski slopes. I have a once in a lifetime view from my room and also breakfast area! Second, that's the only hostel comes with private room (as far as I know). Third, I actually paid for the breakfast and dinner and I NEVER REGRET to do so (even though you can have some food out there but is abit far). The dinner is just WONDERFUL, WONDERFUL, WONDERFUL. Experience yourself and you will know what I meant. It is Extremely exceeded my expectation, even after so many days I am back to my country while I writing this review, I am still so in love of everything I have experience here. Come here during winter, must come. And I'm super pleased to be served by the old couple, so simple, so genuine, soooo awe!

It is one of the best places I have stayed at in my long life. It felt like home as soon as I stepped in. I left with regret and wished I could stay longer. Onsen power. Sober, airy style throughout, matching the pristine surrounding forests. Spacious rooms to sit, look within and finally rest. The common area is diverse. If I had been travelling with friends, I would have played babyfoot in armchair, or ping pong. The onsen is out of this world. Rejuvenation. You are not bothered by anything or anyone and yet you feel cared for.
