Awesome place with a great vibe and great people! Super close to the mountain… literally a few minute walk and also a minute away from a great onsens in the Rusutsu Resort. Had so much fun ridding the mountain and meeting travelers!
Very Convenience location with reasonable price. A bit pack for shared room during peak season.

Although the property seemed a little outdated, it was well maintained and clean. The staff spoke little english but were friendly. My biggest feedback would be that yhere are only 2 toilets and 1 shower.

Great location
Great location, near resort only 5 minutes by walking there. Cross the street can find the convenient store to buy food and drinks. But the bed is a little bit small for me.
The 1F is restaurant and it is good, you can have dinner there.
All in all my mates and I had a great stay, we paid for a private room and paid almost the same amount you would for those little cubicles. Great option because we got to have a bit more privacy. The property was a great little hostel, they have two toilets, one in the restaurant and one in the back, a shower/bath for guests staying at the hostel. Fridge for your food from Seico or 7/11. There was nice big sinks for all your toiletry needs, as well as a washing machine and dryer (cost 1000¥ to use). All the staff are really friendly, they know minimal English so be prepared when you speak to them. They run the restaurant from about 5pm - 12am as well as Karaoke until about 2am-3am, we couldn’t hear it in the room but I can’t say the same for the cubical. Great stay and would recommend it to anyone looking to stay on the cheaper side of accommodation in Rusutsu. It was 3 min walk to the resort or to Seicomart.
Basic place, but really fun and close to the resort.

Very tight and “intimate” space. Weird for a hostel to only have the common room available from 3-12 daily. The common room also shares space with the hotels kitchen storage so staff are constantly coming in and out to use part of the fridge and cabinets.

Budget friendly place to sleep near the ski hill
One shower and one toilet for 25+ people.
I think everyone just uses the nearby onsen, but it was a shock. When arrived at 5 minutes to 3pm, I was told off handedly check in was at 4 and not to be that person, but I said, it said 3 online and the check on sheet he handed me also said 3pm.
For the price and proximity to riding it's a no brainier, but it's a rough go
Beds were not comfortable, someone was smoking in the room next to me which gives me headaches and makes me Nauseous. It was very loud as well sleeping was difficult.
