Great ski resort - you can ski right out of the hotel's ski storage area. It's also located next to the Hirafu welcome centre so convenient for buses and everything else in town. Lots of variety at the breakfast buffet, good place to load up before getting up the mountain. Then can't beat the apres ski onsen, what a great way to recover from all day skiing. The men's has a view of the slopes, while the ladies has a view of Mt Yotei. Amazing. We stayed in a Japanese room which was a little tired, but clean and enough room for the two of us. A bit cramped with the futon down. Rooms however are only cleaned by staff every four days, no big deal but would be good to get the bins emptied, towels changed etc. Futons were re-made every night.
