Very close to the bus stop to 信濃大町(kanno omachi station)or 扇澤(okisawa station), the entrance of Alps route of Japan. Can send luggages to Toyama while crossing Alps to the other side of the mountains. Good tasted and variable dishes buffet served. Though the hotel seems ancient, still maintained in good condition. Hot springs is in good Japanese style atmosphere with sauna. Will change the bath spaces for male and femile everyday, which are in wood's and stone's style. There's no shops open during the night time, even convenient store, better to bring all the things you want before arriving. The nearest convenient store costs at least 30 minutes to walk to and another 30 minutes back. Furthermore, the last bus from 信濃大町(kanno omachi station) depart at around 1700. If arrive at 信濃大町(kanno omachi station) after 1700 , the only way to the hotel is via taxi, costing around ¥2700-3300.
