Hotel Omodaka

It was brilliant! It is the same with pictures on this site. They gave me yukata and towel and changed it every day. I had a tea and enjoyed it on my balcony. I tried a futon at first time in my life. I had my own reserved table for breakfast. ❗❗❗The hotel has its own bus with driver, which took me to the Snow Monkey Park and to the station for free! Actually staff was so polite! It is seems like you are someone important. Actually the only one minus that you can't go to all 9 Shibu Onsen's baths, but just to 9th bath only. But the hotel has its own bath even open-air. It was really nice and comfortable accommodation.

地理位置優越，交通非常方便，比較靠近野猿温泉，工作人員很熱情，酒店裡的温泉很棒。但餐食不太豐富，吃不飽。

The room was spacious and warm. I even had to turn the heater off before going to sleep because it made the room so toasty. I never felt cold inside. Everyday we had an amazing and healthy breakfast feast to fuel up before driving out to the ski slopes. And of course coming back to the onsen after a day of skiing is the best way to wrap up the day and help those tired muscles recover. A thing to note is that my room (and most accommodations in Yudanaka) don't have showers attached, so one would have to go to the onsen (located within the same building) to take a shower. There is an ensuite toilet. Initially I felt that the shower thing wasn't something I'd like but it is actually ok - I went to the onsen everyday after skiing anyway, and for hygiene purposes one would shower before getting into the onsen. It is never crowded in the onsen, male and female are separate, nudity is completely normal and no biggie, everybody just minds their own business. I highly recommend the onsen experience, it is quite something different and a Japanese tradition. Everything that one needs is provided in the onsen and shower area. There are also hairdryers, face/body moisturisers. My stay included one dinner in the hotel and it was the best dinner I've had in years! It must have been 8 courses with some side dishes, all meticulously prepared and delicious! The staff spoke some very basic English and were all lovely and helpful.
