Nice new hotel

Seems like a relatively new hotel. Rooms were spacious and clean, nice amenities and facilities were good. It's about a 15-20mins walk to Hirafu centre which can be difficult with skiis and the cold but the hotel offers a shuttle bus service that leaves every 30mins. The staff were very helpful. Would stay again.
