I actually thought restaurant prices are reasonable for resorts. Plats receive 20% off all restaurants. All buffets and most set menus dinners are JPY 5300 which becomes JPY 4240 (USD 39). Please keep in mind those are all inclusive prices with taxes and service charges. I think that's pretty reasonable for resorts. Quality, however, is another matter.
The owner is building a condo right next to Kiroro Tribute and, as a result, is building a gondola/chair combi lift behind it (ETC Dec 2019). Kiroro Tribute will become a ski-in ski-out resort next season.^
