Summary: Firstly, Takashisan (the manager) is incredibly helpful, friendly, and professional. He speaks limited English, but uses WhatsApp and a translator when needed. He organises bus to/from Tomamu Resort, answers questions, and helps with everything.
White House is a budget accomodation, it is not as fancy as Tomamu Resort. But is well organised, and you can get a bus to/from Tomamu at several times each day for 500Yen each trip. Make sure you arrange these trips in advance with Takachi (eg. on WhatsApp). Reception is often unmanned, and there is no restaurant or bar. But noodles and tea/coffee are available, including microwave, if you need to cook something up. There are good bathroom facilities, and hair dryer, towels, soap, shampoo. There are also washing facilities available (300Yen or so).
White House is warm, but it is an old style wooden construction, and I had a bit of trouble sleeping with people coming an going on the old wooden stairs. Luckily, other guests are mostly Japanese and therefore well behaved (!) (I was the only Australian, thankfully).
If you bring your own cereal / breakfast, you can eat at the front area - there are tables. Otherwise, it is 2600 Yen for a terrific buffet breakfast at Tomamu Resort - get the 7:20am bus from White House to Tower 1.
SUMMARY: Good quality, warm, and friendly alternative, if Tomamu Resort is too expensive for you.

Summary: The staff at the inn were very kind and helped me with various things, including transporting me to and from the Tomam ski resort, first aid kits in case of an injury, and when I ran out of medicines I was taking.
Thank you for your kindness!

Summary: Somewhat reminiscent of the The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel, owner of this hotel, Takashi made every effort to make our stay an good one. While a little spartan, the hotel was clean and warm, and the futon beds were soft and comfortable. The hotel is well situated about 7 minutes drive from the Tomamu resort. There are excellent restaurant options within 5 minutes walking distance. Takashi was very happy to drive us to the resort in the mornings. Thanks again for a great stay, Takashi!
