The service was rather impersonal; since it’s a mountain hut, I wasn’t expecting much, but I was still disappointed.
From StaffThank you for staying at Goryu Sanso. We're sorry our service came across as impersonal and left you disappointed. We'll take a fresh look at how we can make each guest's stay feel more welcoming. We hope to see you again in the mountains of Hakuba, in the Japanese Alps.

The staff were all very helpful. They handled my phone inquiries politely, which put me at ease as I prepared for my hike. It was a huge help to be able to ask the members of the Nagano Prefecture Mountain Accident Prevention Team about the weather and trail conditions without hesitation.
From StaffThank you for staying at Goryu Sanso. We're glad our staff's response left a good impression — that's encouraging for everyone. Also happy that the phone inquiry beforehand helped you feel prepared heading into your climb. Glad you also felt comfortable asking the Nagano mountain rescue standby team about the weather and trail conditions. We hope to see you again in the mountains of Hakuba, in the Japanese Alps.

I spent the night in a tent at Goryu Mountain Lodge. Just like before (about thirty years ago), the campground was well-maintained. The views from night into morning were spectacular. If my stamina and schedule allow, I’ll definitely come back—when they have draft beer, that is (lol).
From StaffWe're so glad to hear you'd stayed with us once before, around thirty years ago, and that this time you made your way back to us again. We're glad the tent site was kept in good, well-maintained condition, and that you got to enjoy the views from evening into morning. We'll be looking forward to seeing you again whenever there's cold draft beer waiting (laughs). Whenever your strength and schedule allow, we hope to see you again in the mountains of Hakuba, in the Japanese Alps.

Thank you for your hospitality. The entire facility was clean and comfortable. In particular, the restrooms were odor-free and clean, and the private stalls were spacious enough to double as changing rooms. The meals were delicious as well. I was happy that for dinner, I could get seconds not only of rice but also of the curry sauce. Breakfast was served in a box resembling a Shokado bento, which made it look more upscale. The flavor balance was also excellent. It was a bit of a shame that the only lunch option was Cup Noodles. I suppose, given the kitchen’s circumstances, it might be difficult to serve a full lunch. I was happy to finally purchase the “I Love Mountains, I Love Sake” T-shirt that I’d been wanting for years. This is definitely a mountain lodge I’d love to visit again. But the Tomi Ridge is a long hike… (wry smile)
From StaffThank you for staying at Goryu Sanso. We're glad you found the toilets clean, with enough space to double as a changing room. Also happy to hear you enjoyed the curry refill at dinner and the presentation of breakfast. Thanks for your understanding about lunch being cup noodles only — we appreciate you taking the kitchen limitations into account. Glad you picked up the Love Mountains, Love Sake T-shirt! And yes, that Tomi ridge really does go on longer than expected. We hope to see you again in the mountains of Hakuba, in the Japanese Alps.

When I was buying a hiking badge at the gift shop, three people cut in front of me in line. The futons in the dormitory were placed too close together. I had requested a boxed breakfast, but due to the weather, I ended up eating it in the dining hall, where they served me miso soup. The female staff member who assisted me was very pleasant. It would have been nice if there had been a lounge-like area.
From StaffThank you for staying at Goryu Sanso. We were glad we could switch breakfast from a boxed lunch to a proper meal in the dining hall given the weather, along with the miso soup. We're also happy to hear the female staff member who helped you left a good impression — that means a lot to her. We're sorry, though, that you were moved back in line when purchasing the climbing badge. Your suggestion about having a common space like a lounge is something we'll keep in mind going forward. We hope to see you again in the mountains of Hakuba, in the Japanese Alps.

I stayed here in a tent. The young man at the front desk was very pleasant—his manner, tone, and expression were all great—which made for a really enjoyable experience. The weather wasn’t great, but this is the kind of mountain lodge that makes me want to come back. The tent site was neatly leveled, making it easy to set up my tent. The layout of the individual sites was also well-planned. There was plenty of space, so I didn’t have to worry about my guy lines interfering with my neighbors’ or crossing paths when coming and going—it was very comfortable. I didn’t buy one this time, but I thought the 500-yen Inari shrine figurine looked really nice. One thing that really caught my attention—was that heavy oil? It was a shame to see oil leaking and seeping into the ground.
From StaffThank you for staying at our tent site. We're glad the front desk staff made your check-in a pleasant experience, and it's great to hear the tent ground and layout worked well for you. We also appreciate you letting us know about the oil that had leaked onto the ground near the container — that's something we need to look into and take care of properly. Sorry the weather didn't cooperate, but we're happy to hear you'd like to come back. We hope to see you again in the mountains of Hakuba, in the Japanese Alps.

I was glad there was Wi-Fi. It was nice that the restrooms were clean and had running water.
From StaffThank you for staying at Goryu Sanso. We're glad the Wi-Fi connection worked, and that the cleanliness of the toilets and access to running water met your expectations. Maintaining that kind of comfort up in the mountains is something we take seriously. We hope to welcome you back to the mountains of Hakuba, in the Japanese Alps.

We have a request regarding the use of tablets during check-in. Despite the large number of staff members present, we felt that the guidance provided to first-time users was insufficient. It is not uncommon for first-time users checking in via tablet to feel confused because they do not know how to operate the device. We believe that if staff were a bit more attentive to users—for example, by offering verbal instructions on how to use the tablet or providing guidance as needed—it would allow for a smoother and more reassuring check-in experience. We would appreciate it if you could consider this suggestion to help improve your service in the future.
Thank you for staying at Goryu Sanso. We're sorry the guidance for first-time users on the tablet check-in process wasn't thorough enough. We'll work on having our staff proactively offer help during check-in. Thank you for this valuable feedback. We hope to see you again in the mountains of Hakuba, in the Japanese Alps.
