Warm and welcoming guest houses are ideal for travelers who prefer laid-back accommodations with a personal touch. Usually family run, these hosts will provide local recommendations and even optional meals. Guest houses sometimes feature a cozy living room or a garden – and are still cheaper than most regular hotels.
Amazing hosts, sweet, attentive and patient, doing everything they could to communicate with us (who couldn’t speak enough Japanese) and help us make the most of our short stay.
Rooms are traditional and cosy, a truly wonderful place to stay.
Hosts could not be more accommodating. Pick you up from the station, drop you to the ski slopes and make delicious food- to suit your taste. I recommend Japanese every time. The sushi was the best we have ever had. Really worth a return trip!
the owner is very nice. He treated us like as Family. He provided the free shuttle pick up from hostel to ski area. He always smiles and provided the excellent service to us. The hostel is very clean and the shared kitchen is excellent. we can cook by ourselves and the equipment was provided. Everything I was 100% satisfied and I must definitely recommend all people to come here. I will choose again to stay here. the place is very close to the ski area. only drive there 2 to 3 minutes. excellent location.
Location superb near Shimokura Ski Resort and Appi Kogen. Was quiet, comfortable, hosts were very accommodating and friendly. Breakfast was delicious. There was a drying room for our snow clothes that were wet. The accommodation was clean and warm.
Exactly what we wanted.
Great location (we did have a car) to explore both Appi Kogen and surrounding areas.
Very friendly and accomodating.
Kids and hubby loved the pizzas at Ollie’s Follie (attached to the property)
Super clean and well appointed pension. Really friendly and helpful hosts with delicious breakfast served each morning. Thank you so much for a lovely stay at your beautiful home.
Host was very friendly and more than helpful with everything. The house was in a great location just minutes from appi kogen ski resort. Facilities were good for an old place like this.
Warm and friendly hosts. I had a couple of personal issues during my stay and they helped willingly. Guesthouse is about 1km from the ski hill but Tom san does a great job getting everyone to and from the mountain. Meals were excellent especially the Sunday night BBQ. Wow!! Front desk has discounted ski passes. Rooms are spacious, have a nice view, private bathroom, heating and wi-fi all good.
Nothing. It’s a cheap and very basic pension located near Appi ski slopes. I have stayed at other pensions with more lively and warm atmosphere where the owners and guests mingled. So my stay here was relatively less enjoyable.
Picturesque pension close to the Appi Kogen ski resort area. Great value. Kayoko-san was a very kind and hospitable host. With her husband they pick me up at the station and took me to the snow area - thank you! Looking forward to the next opportunity of visiting you and Appi Kogen!
