"Looking for Hakuba Accomodation? Highly recommend booking here! Great central location, close to Happo Village, Happo Ski resort and Hakuba 47 + Goryu Resort. Great value and price range for what you get staying at this lodge, when compared to other accomodation options. Taking the bus to near by resorts? Another reason to book here! Their is two bus stops near by that offer a free shuttle bus service to near by resorts, such as Goryu and Iwatake resort. The owner of the lodge is Amazing and will gladly assist you with bus options, recommendations for dinner, onsens, ski resorts, shopping, sight seeing and more! A great breakfast is provided every morning with coffee, convenient and the perfect way to start your day before heading up to the slopes. Our room was large, plenty of room for hanging clothes, our suitcases and more, with a great view and large bed. A large drying room is in the lodge near the front entrance, convenient for drying your gear at the end of the day. Many dinner options are within walking distance of the lodge. "

"Amazing staff very attentive and helpful. The room, the onsen are very clean and well maintained. The food was amazing. Steps from a couple of conbinis and good restaurants. Only slight downside is that it’s a bit of a walk (20 min) or a short drive to Goryu ski resort. It’s a 15min cab ride to Happo. Didn’t find the public buses to be as easy or convenient to use so we used cabs or walk."
