The room was beautiful, with tatami, yukata, tabi, and a little bag with towels to take with you when you go to their proper outdoor onsen that's right across the street. The onsen has good amenities, has 2 baths one indoor that's around 42 - 45 degrees, and outdoor one that's usually cooler around 38 - 42. The best thing about that onsen is that there usually not many people there, often I was there alone.
The breakfast was great too, there were at least around 20 - 30 different dishes/foods to choose from. The hotel also sells discounted ski passes, and has it's own ski/snowboard rental service for lower price than most of the rental services nearby (the snowboard was of great quality, the shoes not so much).
When we checked out, the hotel arranged a van to take us to the bus terminal as well. Overall, one of the best hotels I've ever stayed at in Japan. 👌🏻

I like the fact that the hotel is not big, not crowded, the view is very beautiful, and there is a massage chair in the room, which is very considerate.
The meals were not fancy but they were all very good, and the staff would take the initiative to help take photos. Then there was a male employee named Songmu (I hope I remembered his name correctly) who was super attentive. During dinner, he saw from a distance that we would need something, and at breakfast the next day, he remembered our special needs from the first day and prepared it as soon as he saw us come in. The standard is much better than many five-star hotels.
But when we left, the counter staff made a mistake in settling the bill and we had to pay again.
It would be great if the staff's level could be average.

The room was superb, the service was very thoughtful and meticulous, the traditional banquet for dinner was very exquisite and delicious, the breakfast was also very rich, there were coffee snacks in the lobby, and the two hot springs were very good
