Winery Hotel and Condominium HITOHANA

Overall our stay in Winery Hotel was good. We had 2 rooms for our adult family of 5. The bigger room was great as there is a little kitchenette, it is on the ground floor and we could open the windows Because we booked different type of rooms, the smaller room was on another floor. One thing that I have not seen in oter Japanese hotels, which I thought was good is the way the hotel maanged the usuage of the washing machines and dryer (guest have indicate their room numbers when using the machine and the reception will help manage if the guest does not come back in time). Though there are only 2 washing machines and 2 dryers.

The room was a decent size, clean and had access to entertainment options so we could watch TV in bed after a long day on the hill. Shower was great and the lavender products were lovely, beds were comfortable. Great view of the hill from our bedroom. One of the nicest places we've stayed throughout Japan (4th trip here) The breakfast buffet was great. Located super close to the hill (about a 7 min walk uphill to the gondola station) and the staff were lovely and so helpful with getting us around and recommendations. And the wines were lovely. Tastings were available daily.

This is a boutique hotel . We had one of the larger rooms which was very comfortable and immaculate. The free washer dryers were extremely handy and the hotel indoor onsen never busy The staff were exceptional. Not intrusive but there when needed They also very kindly forwarded me my small jewellery case which I had left in the room The location was great for access to the ski lifts and the restaurants in Kitanomine.

Cosy petite modern hotel . Location good. Very good friendly service at reception and at restaurant . Some English speaking staff . Very Clean, modern furnished twin room with small sofa , well designed , compact , with good quality toiletries . Separate toilet from shower . Restaurant menu is good for the size of this hotel , food is delicious esp the beef stew , must make advance reservation esp when hotel is high occupancy. Breakfast buffet ok , but has more western than Japanese food. Free wine n drinks , coffee n tea at lobby . Free Wine tasting . Hotel open carpark is a few minutes walk up slope. , can be a challenge in snowy weather. Didn’t try the spa . Stayed 2 nites in late June . Would recommend tis hotel .

From the moment we stepped in, we were treated with great service and hospitality which was great. All the staff were very helpful. We met with an accident while driving and all thanks to the staffs who patiently helped us report it with the car rental insurance and translated it for us as we had issue contacting them. Location is good and a short drive to the ski slopes. There are shuttle services if you do not drive as well. Lawsons and Seico mart is very near too so stocking up on grocery is easy. Breakfast spread is pretty good and we had great breakfast with snowy view every morning. Oh and one nice part is the wine tasting available daily. I have to say they have very good wines, worth a try. I will highly recommend the stay.
