I had a decent stay at Hotel Kodama, with great proximity to the ski slopes and friendly staff. However, the onsen was too small and crowded, and the room was quite dated with some uncomfortable bedding. The dining experience was a highlight with delicious meals, though it was a bit rigid about extra guests.

I had a pleasant stay at Hotel Kodama, with some fantastic highlights like the very nice location right next to the ski slopes. The staff was friendly and eager to help me with my dietary needs, which made my meals enjoyable. However, my room was a bit cold, and the heating system didn't keep it warm enough after a long day of skiing.

I enjoyed my stay at Hotel Kodama thanks to its fantastic location near the ski lifts and rental shops, making it easy to hit the slopes. However, the hotel is a bit dated and lacks some comfort features. The staff was friendly and accommodating, especially with dietary needs, but the dining experience could be improved.

My room was a family room that was clean but a bit outdated, especially the foam cushions which were hard and cracked. The lighting felt too dim, and I struggled with some uncomfortable sleeping conditions due to the pillows and noise from plumbing.

The hotel is perfectly situated near the ski slopes, making it incredibly convenient. I loved how close it was to the bus stop and ski rental shops—everything I needed was just a short walk away.

Dining

6.0

Dinner was generally plentiful and featured some local ingredients, but the meals were served all at once, which made the hot food cold quickly. The breakfast buffet had a lot of fried options, and I found the overall dining experience a bit too institutional.

Facilities

5.0

While the ski locker area was decent, the lack of a drying room for ski gear was annoying. I had to bring my ski boots to my room, which was not convenient at all.

While breakfast was abundant, it felt a bit rushed due to limited time slots, and dinner, although plentiful, had an institutional vibe. not my favorite. The highlight was the sukiyaki night!

The hotel provides a ground-level dry room for ski gear and has a small locker system, but I wish there had been a dedicated drying room for ski boots and equipment.
