This hotel is a delightful gem, showcasing the rich culture of Japan in Hakuba. We highly recommend it! The onsen is absolutely incredible, especially after a day of skiing. Please note that it is a public bath and shower, so if you prefer privacy, you may want to book the private onsen for $3000 an hour. The atmosphere is very relaxing, and the owner is attentive and helpful. The entire place is impeccably clean. Its location is fantastic, conveniently situated between bus stops and Happo One. The beds are traditional Japanese-style, placed on the ground, and additional futons can be provided if needed. I appreciate the authenticity of this Japanese style. I hope they never westernize this. If you choose to stay here, please respect Japanese culture and consider supporting local rentals, restaurants, and shops.

The area surrounding has been gentrified and westernized through the past years.

i liked the location to the hakuba happo bus terminal, the onsen, room for snow gear. the room was comfortable enough too especially when the room is just a place for the night.

we ended up staying in one of the rooms without an ensuite (which was fine) but it was located in an annexure. unfortunately staying at the annexure, it is harder to get service ie the towels, robes that were self service (located in a common area for you to take) were not topped up as often compared to staying in the main building.

Visited for a ski holiday and was a bit sceptical about the traditional sleeping arrangements as we had never slept in a room like this before and this hotel completely exceeded our expectations! The traditional bed was super comfortable, shared bathroom facilities extremely clean, breakfast delicious and slightly different each day and a large amount of bars and restaurants within walking distance. The staff were also lovely and helped with bus information, ordering taxis and answering any questions we had. Cant wait to stay here again next year!!

Nothing, everything was perfect.

Everything was perfect! This was our second time visiting and it was just as good as the first. The traditional rooms were surprisingly comfortable. Bathrooms were nice and clean. Location is very central.

Difficult to book this year, only secured my reservation very last minute- possibly from someone else cancelling. Hopefully we can secure a reservation for next year!!

Great location, with best price for location we could find. Good onsen.

Room was not overly clean. Knocked the lamp shade as so low and about 2 years of dust fell onto the bed! Hadn’t realised no private shower units (perhaps my bad!) breakfast average so ended up getting it elsewhere after first day

Great budget stay. The Onsen is delightful. Staff are super friendly and very happy to help you with anything you need.

Walls are a bit thin so can hear the snow clearing machinery all night

Large room and good access to a bus station. Close to a ski rental shop and good collaboration including ski pick up return service on the hotel.

Bad manner people were drinking beer in a bath. Suggest to show manner guidance plate for foreign tourists.

Very homely, comfortable and clean, good location, friendly staff, and washing machines are relatively affordable as a bonus.

Staff seem a little bit stretched and amenities such as towels and sashes were not initially readily available at their main pickup location, but staff were able to provide upon request.

The traditional style! Really well catered for skiers and snowboarders - a drying room is available. The location is close by the free shuttles and the bus terminal, and lawsons is a 3 minute walk away. The onsen was great for after a long day of skiing

Great location! Very clean and pleasant atmosphere. Such nice staff and they gave us snow boots to use during our stay. Yummy breakfast and just a joy to stay here
