Kagura White Horse Inn

Good location, only 100m from Mitsumata ropeway, convenient equipment rental, if not at WhiteHorse then many shops nearby. Room is clean, heater works very well, you will have a warm night sleep. I normally don't prefer carpet because of dust and cleaning is not very effective with carpet, but WH handles that with slipper area in hotel, making the carpet floor rather cleaner compared to other more expensive, higher-star, big chain hotels, which is very nice. And if you search around, there is no other place nearby with this good cleanliness rating at this price. The host is very very nice and helpful, explains thing very clearly, and with very good English. I will stay here again in my next trip to Mitsumata. And just some info for people choosing between ordinary and newly renovated room, since I got to stay in both types. The newly renovated, got a bit bigger area in the bathroom, shower enclosure, modern mixer faucet, and I guess new wash basin got kicked out into the bedroom instead lol. I didn't measure, but from guesstimation, I think the bed room got a bit smaller area because of that, but still more than enough. I am very familiar with small bedroom in various hotels in Japan, and this is quite big already for me. The ordinary room though, got the Japanese style cabinet bathroom, with build-in bath tub + shower + curtain + old style manual mixer faucet, washbasin and toilet altogether. Small area in the bathroom, and toilet (but again, I am very familiar with that, so no problem.) which makes bigger bed room. I could lie on the floor while packing my luggage lol. My ordinary room is on the front side of the hotel, I felt it was a bit colder, not sure because of old insulation or not but anyway, the heater is very good and I got no problem at all. Either type is superbly clean anyway. The common area is amazing, light cooking equipment, microwave, tables, sofa, ping-pong table. I could see other people have great time there. A really good place.

Friendly helpful staff. Great location. Good breakfast... Great storage area and dry room. Room was small but nice, great newly renovated bathroom. Parking directly across the road. They do a fantastic job keeping to snow away.. 15th year going to japan. I would have to say that this is the best Family run place that I've stayed at in all the years..

Amazing location steps from Kagura for those seeking to catch a storm in the winter. The lodge itself was updated, rooms had nice western beds and doors were better sound proofed than many of the older ryokans I’ve stayed at. Wifi was fast and reliable, they had a high speed mesh set up, very advanced. The lodge had several chill areas and was very cozy and spacious. No restaurant but had two food vending machines to hold you over. Great vibe overall, has soul but is updated. 100% recommend

Close to the lift, late check in by yourself, feels like a Hostel, ski rental without problems, discounts for ski passes, bathrooms amazing, rooms simple but perfect, bus to the town very convenient, u can heat food there, vending machines

Hotel's location is superb! You can walk to the lift in couple of minutes. The room we stayed in had a renovated bathroom (washlet and shower), the beds were big and comfortable. Also, there was a huge common space for chilling with friends and drinking.
