The chalet was spacious, well appointed and well located.

It is a bit far from the supermarket and convenience stores, but that’s just a minor thing.

Bears Den was such a great lodge to stay. It was Ski in and only a short walk up to the lifts. Usually Lesley would offer to drive us up each morning anyway. Having a beautiful cooked breakfast was the best way to start a full day on the mountain. Lesley was so welcoming and helpful. On the day we arrived she took us to a ski hire shop and picked up our gear for us when we were done. She also had an endless recommendation of local restaurants and places to visit. She made us reservations and then drop us to them. Our stay couldn’t of been better and we can’t thank Lesley enough for welcoming us into her comfortable lodge and listening to us talk afternoon while kindly serving us beers from her bar upstairs. The rooms were perfect, just what you need after a big day riding. Nice comfortable beds and perfectly clean bathrooms with fresh towels. I will be recommending Bears Den to everyone who is travelling to Goryu and I can’t wait to stay again.

very comfy rooms and beds, under floor heating is toasty , lounge with fireplace is great, host is amazing , felt like part of the family straight away !

The property is in a great location and easily accessible from Narita airport. Bears Den is extremely cosy and rooms are comfortable with superb facilities. Lesley is an amazing host who goes out of her way to help her guests with everything from ski hire to pick up and drop off to breakfast to restaurant bookings and everything else in between! By far the best host we’ve come across in all of of our travels! Would 100% stay here again for skiing in Hakuba!
