House rules

From our stay guide (v1.1, November 2026).

  1. Self check-in from 15:00: the front door has an electronic lock, we send the code privately before you arrive, and your room key is inside your room. Tell us if you will arrive after 21:00.
  2. Check-out is by 10:00, and late check-out is not available. Skiing on your last day? Leave your belongings in the basement storage and collect them the same day.
  3. Skis and boards go in the outdoor rack. No ski boots indoors, and no skis or boots in the rooms. The drying room at the entrance dries your gear overnight.
  4. No breakfast is served. The kitchen is free to use; please clean up after yourselves.
  5. No pets. No smoking anywhere indoors; smoking indoors is charged a ¥30,000 cleaning and deodorising fee.
  6. Quiet from 22:00. Please sort your trash by the labels on the bins.
  7. Stay inside the ski-area boundaries during avalanche or blizzard warnings. Go into the backcountry only with a certified local guide and a full avalanche kit.
  8. In an emergency, call 119 first. If someone is hurt, keep them warm and still, then contact us. Your pre-arrival message includes our emergency contact.

01

Floor by floor

Three storeys and five guest rooms, which share two toilets and two showers. We're preparing a measured floor plan. Until it's ready, here is the house floor by floor in words.

02

What's included

We list only what we have checked in the house. There's no breakfast, but the kitchen is yours to use, and the drying room at the entrance dries wet gear overnight.

03

Good to know before you come

Stairs, parking and other limits sit right next to the amenities, so you can see them before you book.

04

Check-in

Self check-in from 15:00 and check-out by 10:00, with no late check-out. We send the door code privately before you arrive, so entry details stay off this public page. Skiing on your last day? Your bags can wait in the basement storage.
