Out of my recent trip to Japan there were two places that really made things special for me, this stay was one of them. We arrived very late on our first night, we barely made it to the last rail car up the mountain. when we made it to the stop the hotel owners were literally waiting for us at the rail building since they didn't want us getting lost in the snowy night. The food was super tasty, I HIGHLY recommend their dinner plate. Also, make sure to take a dip in their wooden bath, that thing will wash away any difficulty that may be troubling your mind. The rooms were clean, the staff was friendly, and the hotel itself was very traditional, not to mention the scenery was gorgeous.
