Offering a countryside escape in the highlands of Rusutsu, this family-run property offers cosy rooms just a 3-minute drive from Rusutsu Ski Resort, with the free shuttle service provided. Free private parking and free WiFi are provided.

My stay at this hotel was delightful. The staff were exceptionally friendly and went above and beyond to ensure a comfortable stay. Although not situated near the ski resort, their convenient pick-up service made transportation hassle-free. The room, while not overly spacious, was well-equipped with everything needed for a cozy stay. The complimentary breakfast was a highlight, offering a satisfying start to the day. Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed my stay and would recommend this hotel to others seeking a welcoming atmosphere and convenient amenities.

With free WiFi, this guest house offers a flat-screen TV, a washing machine and a fully equipped kitchen with a toaster and fridge. Guests can enjoy a meal on an outdoor dining area while overlooking the lake views. The guest house offers bed linen, towels and laundry service.

Clean. Tastefully decorated - lots of lovely art. Very spacious for two. Much easier to find than others implied - Google maps was perfectly accurate. Not too far from Rusutsu for skiing or Lake toya. The lake view was decent as well, though we weren’t lucky enough to see the lake’s full glory due to the weather. The guest room is on the second floor; breakfast is served in the dining area on the first floor. There’s also a small elevator for moving luggage upstairs. Overall, hardware-wise it is hard to fault this place, especially at this price. What made us love this place more was the host lady. I think she embodies a lot of the things we enjoy in staying at a ryokan-type place - humble, loving, well-educated, and on top of all that, very knowledgeable about Japanese music and art. However, on lots of dimensions, she’s a standout and a personality we wish we had more time to connect with. We felt very fortunate to have booked this place. We would definitely come back next time we’re in the area.

    Warm and cosy, even by Western standards. Large room with own fridge, which wasn’t noisy!, great shower, helpful host, very handy kitchen and dining area for guests, which had toaster oven, microwave, and electric cooktop. Great location, and a shuttle to the resort if you didn’t want to walk or drive yourself.

    Great location super close to Rusutsu ski resort, with free parking at the front of the house. Super kind and friendly host, and much much greater value for money than staying at any of the ski resorts around. Definitely 10/10 would recommend, and if I'm skiing around Rusutsu again next year, I'll definitely pick this place again without thinking.

    Lovely modern house in quiet area away from noisy resort. Comfy bed, great lounge room and open plan kitchen facilities. Efficient pick up and drop off at the beginning and end of the holiday. Good support from hosts when hot water system played up.

    Hosts and staff extremely friendly, welcoming and helpful. The pension was exceptionally clean and well maintained, as well as having very charming ambience. The breakfast was tasty and sustaining. Although shared, the bathroom and toilet facilities were always freely available and spotless. The hosts provided very prompt and efficient transport via courtesy bus to and from the resort area for skiing and restaurants.

    A clean, comfortable and friendly place to stay. We loved our host and found it easy to get to the ski field on the provided shuttle.Breakfast was tasty but we didn’t try dinner as we needed to book it in advance. The pension is also not a huge walk from the resort if one decides to take a stroll.

    Great location! The guys that run the place are very cruisy. It’s relatively cheap compared to all other options in the area, especially with the proximity to the lifts/resort/food etc.

    This is a very cozy place to stay with the most wonderful hosts. Getting to the resort was no issue as we were dropped off and picked up quickly whenever required. If you want a quiet place to relax after a day on the slopes, this is perfect.
