The hotel provides a spacious area for storing ski equipment, and the drying zone for ski boots is quite warm, ensuring that skiers can wear dry boots the next day. Both breakfast and dinner are served as buffets. Although the variety of dishes isn’t particularly extensive, it’s sufficient to satisfy people with different tastes. Interestingly, the free self-serve ice cream and drink stations are always crowded. Watching the cheerful children and elderly people sharing the same space, each enjoying themselves in their own way, made me forget I was in Japan. Before going to bed at night, you can relax in the hot spring, washing away the fatigue of the day — a truly comforting experience. The hotel is conveniently located between two lifts, just a few minutes' walk to hop on a lift and head up the mountain for skiing. About five minutes from the hotel is the Evergreen Ski School, making it incredibly convenient for those who want to learn or improve their skiing skills.

The lighting in the room is not bright enough, and the WiFi signal is weak.

Perfect location of the hotel for our short stay and 1 day ski in Hakuba Happo One. Hotel seems bit old but sufficient for reasonable price. Breakfast was simple but OK. Onsen / Public batch was perfect. The facilities for skier is perfect - enough room in heating room, additional heater in lobby for fast drying, spacieous lobby with small shop (noodle cups and hot water included as well as tea & coffee machine and of course you can buy drinks and beers as well in vending machines) Staff on reception was very polite and helpfull.

The rooms are a bit shabby, it would be good to paint the walls

First time in Hakuba, went there for a family snowboarding trip. While the property is a little bit dated in terms of decor, it was simple and clean. Rooms were spacious. Common area were large and the common baths were easily accessible. No shortage of storage space as well. We ended up having breakfast on the property everyday as it was simple but tasty with good service.

Simple and Cozy. Wasn't crowded although we were there late March.

The room was simple and basic. The breakfast and dinner were nice. the onsen was nice.

From Happo one bus terminal we had to walk to the hotel as it was so busy during snow season and there were no taxis or transfers. The taxi company was not taking any more requests. It was extremely hard to walk up the hill with my bag and board bag. I will not stay here again purely because of that reason. The walk was horrendous and the road was rough. My bag wheels were damaged. If you were a young family of four it could NOT be done on foot. The local bus system is very tricky also. mostly full each time too.

This unassuming hotel just works. It’s walking distance to one of the key skiing schools where we send our kids to every morning. It has a nice public bath with an outdoor area where my kids had so much fun bathing in the snow. It has a restaurant that serves buffet with free flow alcohol for very affordable prices. It has a drying room so we basically park all our wet and cold gears in there and next morning they are dry and warm. Staff were always polite, friendly and helpful. This is the Honda of hotels - it’s no luxury, but it has everything you need and gets job done.

The in room facilities was very basic. Aircon was a bit loud. But we had comfortable sleeps especially after a nice warm bath and a full belly.

Rooms are large by Japanese standards but really just a room and bathroom, not that much additional space if you had full capacity. Onsen on site is a bonus but very much traditional and etiquette must be followed - make sure you are aware of this. Location was fantastic compared to so many other places - this is very much in the snow and you could walk maybe less than 100m to lifts.

Breakfast was very hard to find the place can feel a bit like a rabbit warren. The food at breakfast was limited by western standards. Wifi was definitely challenging at time if not all the time. Comfortable but be aware of things like stairs rather than lifts, limited temperature controls (but very warm, which is great in the snow).

Great place to stay if you want a Japanese experience. Old hotel but has everything you need for a ski holiday. Traditional Onsen was wonderful after a day on the slopes. Large area dedicated to ski lockers and drying room. Short walk into the centre of Happo but a bit hard up the hill coming back.

Rooms were small but is what you expect in Japan.

The staff were friendly and helpful. The breakfast was wonderful. The reception area with the fire-place was warm and cosy after a day of skiing. We loved it, thank you!

Transfers from the bus or train station would've been great because taxis weren't available when needed.

Great proximity to the Happo-One chair lifts, excellent onsen (both indoor and outdoor), and the dinner buffet was very reasonably priced!

Whilst really close to the ski slopes it is a bit of a trek to restaurant and town - at least 10 minute walk down hill!

Love the all you can drink buffet.
