Chojukan Hoshi Onsen?

Hi, My girlfriend and I are planning a skiing trip in January, we have 2 nights to spend, and I'm considering Chojukan/Hoshi onsen for both nights, how is it in winter? Is there anythings to do other than onsen and skiing? Is there any nightlife in the area? Thanks so much!

how is it in winter?

Snowed in. There is nothing around the ryokan. Only two buses in the morning and two buses in the afternoon in direction of the shinkansen station. You will need your own car or some other arranged transportation to reach any ski resort. The Naeba ski resort is just across the mountain park, though. There are more hot springs around Minakami.

Is there any nightlife in the area?

Absolutely not. There is nothing around the ryokan, which is one of its main attractions. There is nothing to do but bathing, eating, drinking, talking and reading at the ryokan. I believe the rooms do have TVs though.
