Staff was extremely helpful and friendly. Location was fab. Place definitely gives vintage vibes and nostalgic feels but we felt very comfortable nonetheless. Breakfast and dinner buffets were super tasty and had great variety each day. The shabu shabu and yakiniku restaurants onsite were also amazing! Some of the best wagyu we’ve had! I would recommend getting your rentals elsewhere, as we didn’t have a good experience with the rentals onsite, whilst cheap the stock was definitely outdated. My boots broke on the first run and I had to hire new boots at the closest rental I could find.
Excelente espacio para hospedarse, el staff es súper amable y alegre. La habitación en la que nos quedamos era bastante grande y cómoda.
Por el precio es acorde a lo que ofrece el hotel.
Solo si hace falta actualizar parte del mobiliario para disfrutar aún más la estancia.
We stayed at Hotel Japan for 2 nights in peak snow season. The staff were helpful, and the place and a nice musical base ambience. The other guests all seemed friendly and relaxed which was good. One of the music rooms also functions as a locker / baggage change area, which really helped on checkout day.
The hotel also has a semi-separate Nepalese curry restaurant which makes for a good dinner. Parking was good, and since it's about a 5 minute walk from the hotel, the staff will let you park in front for the initial luggage drop off.
The onsen isn't as big as you'd think, but it is clean and seemed in good repair.
The foyer also has an excellent vinyl music collection and turntable, which adds some atmosphere, as well as a library of manga and books to borrow.
