Food was excellent room was satisfactory, parking was super convenient and access to the ski area is quick with a car. I wish there was more space to hang clothing and brighter lighting in the rooms as well as common areas.

Life Is Beeeautiful
We had a very relaxed weekend at Life Is Beautiful. It was an excellent change of pace from camping/hiking, was definitely needed. We just so happened to find the perfect place for it. The room was two twins with its own bathroom and refrigerator. It was very clean and the beds were comfortable. We opted for the Breakfast and Dinner which we do not regret as the meals were delicious. The owners and staff were all extremely friendly and understanding especially with our skoshi Japanese speaking abilities. We would definitely recommend and would indeed stay again.

I had a great experience here! I chose to stay here because it was close to Appi and was priced better than any of the surrounding hotels and came with dinner and breakfast. I highly recommend paying the little extra for the meals. They were fantastic. Just what I needed after a long day. The rooms are quite cozy and the beds are very also comfortable. I plan on staying here next time I go to Appi Kogen.

Too small room to stay!
Our purpose for this trip was for ski and we stayed 8 days at Life is beautiful. The room is very small with a small toilet and very small sink where we can only sit on the edge of tub to brush teeth & wash face and our body was all wet! The owner of this hostel provided 8 sets of towel & teeth brush in the room at one time. Everyday we are having the same breakfast without any changed. I will not recommend you to stay here!
