BED & BREAKFAST ROOMS

  • Our boutique B&B offers four comfortable guest rooms in a warm, family-style setting—ideal for solo travelers, couples, or small groups. Rooms are single or double occupancy, with each room featuring its own private shower and vanity. Toilets are shared and located just steps away in the common area for convenience.

  • You’ll be staying right above Backwards R Café, the hub of our operation and your personal breakfast spot. Start each morning with a hearty, home-cooked meal prepared by our team, and fuel up with unlimited lattes or matcha teas from our full-service café—because powder days require proper caffeine.

  • Our location puts you in the center of it all: just a short stroll to Rankoshi’s beloved Lawson’s convenience store, several local eateries, and the train station—perfect for a quick trip to the region’s famed natural onsens (hot springs).

  • Guests also enjoy access to a cozy and functional shared living area, high-speed Wi-Fi, dedicated ski and snowboard storage, and a projector-equipped TV setup. Whether you’re winding down, drying gear, or tuning skis for tomorrow’s lines, you’ll find the space works just as hard as you do on the mountain.
