8/10
Nice three-bedroom apartment with an amazing view of Mt. Yotei (looks like Mt. Fuji). We came to ski and the property was tucked back on a side street about 1/2 mile from the resort. The staff provides a free private van shuttle during the day to and from the resort or to and from any local shops or restaurants, with a little notice. Even without notice, they try to accommodate you. One of the kids wanted to return mid-day from the ski resort and they picked us up within a few minutes. There is free outdoor parking in front of the building. Ski lockers are provided on the building exterior and boot warmers inside. The place was clean, except for some dust bunnies under the beds. There is a large living/dining room with a big farm-style table for all to gather. The down side is the kitchen was a small galley kitchen. It had all the appliances, and basic pots and pans, but don't plan to do much more than basic cooking. No condiments, salt, oils, etc were provided. The laundry was our biggest problem. The washer worked fine, but the no-vent dryer was useless. It would run all night and the clothes would be wet in the morning. It was faster to just hang everything up and let them air dry. The bedrooms were tight with no luggage racks. There were tiny closets with two small drawers and a safe. The entry way had a big bench, so we left our luggage out there. The bathrooms had nice showers, heated bidet toilets and heated towel racks.
