Excellent in every respect

Pros: Fantastic staff, modern, new, quiet and beautiful location in a forest, just about everything.
Cons: Nothing comes to mind.
Location: Quiet and beautiful location in a forest. There's a lovely cafe in a shipping container(!) just across the road that is great for late lunches.
Staying at Snow Dog was an excellent experience all around. From being met by SkiJapan staff at every transfer point on the way there to the actual stay and then a ride to the main bus when departing. The accommodation itself is about a 10 minute bus ride to Hirafu and even less to the Hilton ski area, with a convenient bus running every hour (other than a couple of reasonable breaks). Snow Dog staff and the bus drivers are all friendly and very helpful. Some minor issues (inevitable given my length of stay) were dealt with immediately, reasonably and satisfactorily. The accommodation itself is, as is typical in Japan, smallish by Western standards, but very livable and comfortable give that it was really just a place to leave my stuff and sleep between skiing! There is nothing negative I can say about Snow Dog or my stay there, and I will definitely be returning.
