This is very informative, thanks for putting it together. I believe we have also watched some of your videos on YouTube.

I was wondering whether you have any thoughts about Zaborin. Is it actually good?

We are hoping to spend a couple of nights in a ryokan with in-room Onsen located in a very snowy place, but not too isolated (like close to a town we can drop by and walk around). In addition to Zaborin, we were also looking at Wabizakura (that you rated highly) and Bettei Senjyuan.
