I stayed here on a room-only basis. The facilities, including the kitchen and drying room, were excellent, and I had a very comfortable stay. Thank you very much.

I’ve stayed here many times before, but this was my first time using a small private room for two. While I like the large rooms too, the partitioned space for two was different from the large rooms—it made it much more comfortable to organize our luggage and change clothes. I’ll treasure the 120th-anniversary sticker.

Since it was an event, dinner was served as a bento box, but the food wasn’t cold, and it even came with miso soup. I had the morning bento, and I personally found the saltiness of the umeboshi just right—it was delicious. The staff at the front desk were wonderful, with their warm smiles and the care they showed toward someone who wasn’t feeling well. Hearing about the mountain hut’s 120-year history and its future plans made me appreciate its existence all over again. Next time, I’d like to stay at a lodge that has a Washlet.

Perhaps because there was an event that day, or maybe because they were too busy to focus on customer service, the service felt rather robotic.

This was my first time staying here. The shared room was clean and comfortable, but the drying room wasn’t working. I figured it might be because it was sunny, so I just let it go. However, the next morning, when I went to the annex for breakfast, I saw that the drying room there was working, which left me a little disappointed.

Every time I visit, I’ve noticed wonderful improvements—like the addition of Washlet toilets—and the fact that I can choose a private room that ensures my privacy even when I’m alone. It really feels like it’s becoming more and more like a hotel. The live music package was excellent, but since this mountain lodge is known for its fantastic dinners, I found the bento box a bit of a letdown—even though I know it’s understandable (I know I’m being a bit picky). Still, the staff were kind and efficient, so overall, it was a very positive experience.

I stayed here to catch the Super Mountaineering Club’s live performance. It was my first time staying in the building with the front desk. It was a little cold. The toilets had Washlet features, which was very comfortable. It was a shame that nothing dried in the drying room. I was dissatisfied with the way the woman at the front desk gave instructions. When I lifted my backpack off the floor, the bear bell rang, so I set the backpack on a chair for a moment to take it off right away—but she immediately said, “Sir! Please don’t let the bear bell ring. Please do not place your backpack on the chair.” She said this about a second after I set it down. I wasn’t walking around ringing the bell the whole time, and since she was able to say that so immediately after it went off—and I was already trying to take it off—I assume she saw and understood what was happening. Her tone, which sounded like she was cracking down on the bear bell, made me feel uncomfortable. When I was shivering from the cold after coming down the mountain, surely there could have been a different way to say it. Precisely because everyone else had been so kind, that one remark was particularly disappointing.

I stayed with the Super Mountaineering Club during their live event. I was especially happy that they remembered I had stayed with them last year and reached out to me. On top of that, they even prepared a special meal for me. I’m truly grateful. To be honest, this hike is a bit challenging for me, but I’ll train for another year and definitely hope to visit again next year.

I stayed at the mountain lodge despite the bad weather. When they found me shivering from the cold, they brought me warm water several times and even covered me with a blanket. I can’t thank the staff enough. The meals were delicious. I ate my packed lunch at Oike, and thanks to that, I didn’t run out of energy and was able to make it down the mountain safely. Thank you so much for everything.

It was my first time staying at a mountain cabin. I found it strange that you can't lock the door from the outside when you go out. Other than that, I think it was great.
