"Pros: We absolutely loved our stay at Kadowakikan. Unfortunately, we had to change our dates last minute, however, Kadowakikan was still able to accomodate regardless of the very last minute notification. Kadowakikan is family owned. The owner is what made our stay at Kadowakikan truly memorable. The owner is genuine, hardworking and extremely helpful from our initial correspondence (ie. providing the bus schedule, bus stop details where he would pick us up), throughout our stay and up until our last day. Upon arrival, he walked us through the accomodation's facilities, bought us discounted lift tickets and recommended lovely restaurants around town for us to go to. He also arranged pick-up and drop off at the bus stop himself. He truly went above and beyond (even helped me open a crown cap bottle!). The room is simple but very spacious and clean. The tatami mats were surprisingly comfortable! Rooms were cleaned and little treats were provided on a daily basis. The highlight was the little sun room which showcased beautiful sunsets. Shared toilets were accessible and clean. The in house onsen is an absolute gem. After a day of being out on the mountain, it was nice to have an onsen to go to downstairs. It's generally quiet and have only come across 1 person throughout my stay. Noting that this was towards the end of the snow season. The town is rather small and is walkable (around 15 min into the main part of town). However, with ski and/ boarding gear - there is a regular shuttle bus which brings you to the main lifts. The Karasawa lift (or Nagasaka link which connects to other parts of the mountain) is a very short walk from the accomodation. Overall, it's great value for money, given the cleanliness, accessibility and amazing hospitality. Thank you Yasso san for making our stay so memorable. Cons: Nothing." ~Lesley
