The birch garden, where you can meet the horses
Horses are kept in the birch garden on the hotel grounds, and on fine days you can meet them out in the garden. Sometimes a parent horse and its foal take a walk around the garden together. There is also an indoor riding arena that can be used for practice, and horseback riding experiences require an inquiry.

Overview
Sugadaira Prince Hotel sits in highland country at an elevation of 1,300 to 1,500 meters, directly facing the Sugadaira Kogen Ski Resort and its Omote-Davos slope. The natural onsen communal bath Kiraboshi no Yu is open for bathing 24 hours a day, and the Japanese-style tatami rooms range from 7.5 to 12 mats, including a 12-mat room that sleeps 5 to 6 guests. In the birch garden on the grounds you can meet the hotel's horses - one of the highland nature experiences the setting makes possible.
Rooms
There are four room types: a 7.5-mat Japanese-style tatami room (with toilet, for 1 to 3 guests), an 8-mat Japanese-style tatami room (with bath and toilet, for 2 to 4 guests), a 12-mat Japanese-style tatami room (with bath and toilet, for 2 to 6 guests), and a twin room (with bath and toilet, for 1 to 2 guests). The 12-mat tatami room gives 5 or 6 guests plenty of space to spread out, and families and groups can relax there at their ease. The 8-mat tatami room and the twin room have an en-suite bathroom, which gives you an option if you have a small child who would find the communal bath difficult. The 7.5-mat room has only a toilet, so for bathing you use the communal bath.
Dining
Dinner is served from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m., and breakfast from 7:30 a.m. Dinner is either a buffet or a Japanese-Western set-tray meal, and breakfast is either a buffet or a set menu; the format is decided by how full the hotel is, so it cannot be chosen. Children's rates are set for each room type on the accommodation plans. Children aged 4 and over must be booked on a plan that includes meals or futon bedding, and the option of no meals and no futon bedding applies only to children aged 3 and under.
Baths and Onsen
The natural onsen communal bath Kiraboshi no Yu is filled with water brought in fresh each day from the Sugadaira Kogen Onsen spring source, and it is open for bathing 24 hours a day. The communal bath is large enough for up to 35 people in the men's bath and 35 in the women's bath. The spring water is an alkaline simple onsen, effective for joint pain, muscle pain and neuralgia. No family bath for private-hire use is listed, so if you want to bathe in your room, the choice is the 8-mat tatami room or the twin room with its en-suite bathroom.
Family-Friendly Features
Horses are kept in the birch garden on the hotel grounds, and on fine days you can meet them out in the garden. Sometimes a parent horse and its foal take a walk around the garden together. At the campsite you can cook rice over a fire in a traditional mess-tin, which suits family use as well as school nature camps and children's-association camps. The barbecue area is indoors, so the weather is not a concern, and there is also an outdoor cooking area, a fishing pond and a mini campsite on the grounds. The Sugadaira Kogen Ski Resort right in front of the hotel has a ski school, which the hotel says families with children can use with peace of mind. Children aged 4 and over need meals or futon bedding arranged, and the option of no meals and no futon bedding applies only to children aged 3 and under, so you need to state the number of guests and their ages when booking.
