Great

The snow-viewing open-air baths are relaxing

The open-air bath in the room, the snow piling up outside, and how delicious the food is

Great

It's a beautiful location, but the route layout is unclear, and there’s no easy path from the summit to the base, which makes it difficult for beginners.

I wish for more diverse and convenient restaurant options, more accessible restrooms, and a more comprehensive and clear Green Line plan that is beginner-friendly. The shuttle bus should be convenient for traveling to various hotels and suitable for families with kids.
