Abuta District Hostels

"Convenient place to ski Rusutsu while not staying at the resort (and not paying resort prices). Shuttle service was run smoothly and even accommodated me when i screwed it up 1 time. Nothing but good things to say about the staff, and all amenity rooms were stocked and kept tidy. Shower room and adjacent corridor smelled a bit off but the rest of the place was fine. I would stay here again if i were committed to skiing Rusutsu, didnt rent a car, and didnt want to pay resort prices."

"I really experienced the style of a Japanese homestay here, especially the children are very excited about tatami. The room is very spacious, there is also a loft, you can sleep on it and below, and you can make your own bed and fold the quilt. Although it is not a hotel, the floor, carpet, bathroom, mattress, quilt... are very clean. There is heating in the house, although it looks small, but the energy is very big. The store is a short distance from Hot Spring Street, about 40 minutes walk, snowy road in winter, it is not recommended to walk, you can do bus to arrive, the station is at the door, there is a timetable in the corridor on the first floor for reference. When returning at night, the boss is very intimate to pick up the car, you can call in advance or agree on the time and place in advance. The boss is very very nice, very friendly, and the owner's mother (a kind old grandmother) who lives next to the hotel is also very good. We arrived early in the morning. The grandmother did not let us check in at 3 pm like other hotels, but kept saying that the weather was cold and let me go directly to the room. In the afternoon, she personally sent us to Hot Spring Street. I was very touched. 👍👍👍 The next morning, because there was no suitable bus, the boss took the initiative to send us to the station, which made us very touched 👍 In short, if you are tired of staying in a hotel, want to experience Japanese life and feel the warmth of ”home”, you can come here. highly recommended"

"A very affordable lodge to book if you intend to snowboard/ski for long! Although location is slightly far from hirafu and other mountains, they offer bus services there. Also there is free shuttle buses back from the mountains which stops opposite the lodge!"

"Although the room is small, with space to only open a 24” luggage, the room itself is very clean, including the shower and toilet facilities. There is free parking provided."
