The hotel has 271 rooms. The Japanese-Style Standard is a roughly 10.5-tatami-mat Japanese-style tatami room (37 sq m, for 1-5 guests), and there are also Japanese-Style Bedrooms, which place low beds in a tatami room, and Western-Style Twins (37 sq m, for 1-4 guests).

Every room has an air purifier with a humidifying function, though guests lay out their own futons themselves.
Dining
Dinner and breakfast are served buffet-style at the restaurant Naebasan, with a live kitchen using seasonal Niigata-grown ingredients. A kids' buffet corner is a permanent feature at both dinner and breakfast, with baby food and dishes labeled for allergens. The breakfast kids' buffet corner also has a pancake machine that pipes out the batter and cooks it automatically. On a room-only plan, breakfast can be added for 2,000 yen for adults, 1,400 yen for elementary school children, and 1,000 yen for children who have not yet started elementary school, from age 3.
Baths and Onsen
The spring water is a simple onsen. The main building's communal bath, Hotaru no Yu, has an open-air bath set in a corner of the garden, while the annex's Kosumosu no Yu has an open-air bath looking out over the mountains and a black granite communal bath. Kosumosu no Yu runs on a seasonal schedule: outside Golden Week, the summer vacation period and the ski season, whether it is open varies by date. There is no private-hire bath, so families bathe together in the communal baths. Guests with tattoos may bathe if the tattoos are covered with the hotel's designated stickers, within a maximum of two. Indoors there is a 20 m heated pool open all year, with rates of 1,200 yen for adults and 800 yen for children. Children of elementary school age and younger may not enter on their own and must be accompanied by someone of junior high school age or older.
