My family had a great vacation at this hotel. It’s kid-friendly, and the children had a wonderful time playing in the snow. The breakfast was excellent!

I stayed for one night to try snowboarding the next morning for the first time, I was very surprised by how helpful and friendly the staff was and there is a public bath at a walkable distance. The hotel is charming and retro, established in the 1970s and it has very lovely details in the decoration to enjoy
We really enjoyed staying at Kagura White Horse Inn. Staff were very friendly and helpful. It's located almost right across the road from Kagura ski resort so extremely convenient with easy bus access. If we have a minor gripe (not the fault of the lodgings), it's that the only eating place for dinner was the nearby "roadside stop" about 10-15 minutes walk away. We could have taken a taxi into town but after a day's skiing, you're usually tired and usually want to dine somewhere close and convenient. That aside, we had a very pleasant experience staying at White Horse Inn.

There are not many shops or restaurants around but that is offset by the way access to mitsumata ropeway across the road. So be prepared and bring some food from Yuzawa if you travel by bus.

We had a great experience at Kagura White Horse Inn. The location is close to the snow park and you can rent anything you need at the hotel. The rooms are clean and comfortable.

Hosts were warm and generous and spoke English well.
Hotel is a 2 min walk to gondola to amazing Kagura snow.
Bus stop right out front too.
Kitchen facilities to cook and also some basic meal options and vending machines.

The hotel is located near the ski lift, which is very convenient. You can also rent your ski gear from the hotel. The continental breakfast is very good.
However, the hotel is really outdated and dirty. The common areas were full of live and dead bugs, and the wifi was not accessible in the room. The room was clean though, but some bugs made their way to the room.
There is only one restaurant in the town. It is a 12 minute walk from the hôtel and it closes early (6pm). Cash payment only. There is an onsen next to the restaurant, very nice.

This is my second visit to Kagura White Horse Inn.
I am very satisfied with this hostel:
1. Clean rooms with hot and stable water and heater
2. Great and quiet location - 5 mins walk to Kagura Ski Resort and bus station, 10 mins walk to onsen
3. Stable WiFi
4. Fantastic western buffet breakfast which is crucial for a long ski day
5. Friendly and helpful staff who know English. They replied to our Expedia messages instantly. They also help moving luggage’s and food in fridge for changing to different rooms with different booking
6. They offered discounted ski resort tickets and onsen tickets
7. They offered rental of snowboards and boots and staff will teach you how to use it
However, they got no lift so you may need to carry your luggage yourself. Earliest check in time is 3pm which is late. The closest restaurant nearby needs a 10 mins walk and closed normally at 5:30pm.

Simple and cozy! This is exactly what I needed. Very nice staff and the older man speaks pretty good English. Also they all speak a little English. 3 minute walk to the Gandala. Be aware of the gandala and bus schedule plus how long it could take you to get down the mountain. This will save you a lot of time and taxi money to get back to the train station
