Naeba Prince Hotel
forumWhat families say
Rakuten Travel rating 3.71 out of 5 (1,268 reviews). One family reported that riding the gondola at night to stroll around the summit, with cool air and illuminated scenery, delighted their elementary school-age child. Guests praise the buffet meals, saying everything was delicious, though children asked for ice cream to be added, and some families felt the amenities and menu left a little to be desired.

Baths and Onsen
There are two communal baths: Naeba no Yu (indoor bath and sauna) beside the Building 4 front desk, and Hiuchi no Yu (indoor bath and open-air bath) inside the day-use ski center. Naeba no Yu is for staying guests only. Hiuchi no Yu operates in winter only and, depending on the period, is also open to day visitors. The spring water is a neutral, hypotonic sodium and calcium chloride-sulfate onsen, said to be beneficial for muscle pain and recovery from fatigue. There is no bathing charge, but a bathing tax of 150 yen per adult per night applies separately. At both baths, children wearing diapers are asked to refrain from bathing, so families with children who are not yet out of diapers should keep this in mind. There is no indoor or outdoor pool.
