Positives, staff was super friendly and helpful, easy walk to Happo One, all you can drink beer and sake included with dinner, plus an ice cream machine. Negatives, super thin walls to room, we could hear our neighbor snoring, breakfast and dinner food not great.

Very clean, modern hotel with excellent service from the staff. The hotel shuttle to the ski areas in Hakuba was very convenient. The hotel shuttle even picked us up when we were shopping in town and could not catch an Uber or Taxi. The service was exceptional.

Even in a poor season by Japanese standards there was still plenty of snow up top to have a great time.

Take cash! Visit different ski resorts - we found something new and good every day.

5/5 - Excellent

Verified traveller

Personally I rate Hakuba as one of the best snow resorts in the world. Access is fantastic, so much to explore, great snow, cheap & small lift lines (outside of Japanese holidays).

4/5 - Good

Hakuba is a nice introduction into Japan skiing. I dont think ill go back as a much more authentic variety if mountains exist.

4/5 - Good

Verified traveller

Unlucky season but very easy to move between different mountains. Will be back for a more pow filled season
