The man who ran the property was super friendly & helpful! The house was warm, cosy and had a fridge, freezer, microwave & toaster.

The house offers generous shared spaces with all essential amenities thoughtfully provided, making it comfortable and welcoming. Its location is incredibly convenient, just a short drive from Hakuba Train and Bus Stations, with bus stops, restaurants, and convenience stores all nearby. What truly made our stay special was the homeowner’s exceptionally kind, warm, and generous hospitality. He has very limited English but known to use Translate Device to communicate. If you need anything, please ask him. We were given a lift to the Train Station. I reckon if you contact him at arrival, he will pick you up as well.

We loved everything about this signature local home. If you’re expecting a luxury resort, this may not be the right fit—but if you’re looking to truly blend in with the locals and experience how they live, this home is absolutely perfect.

Good location right off Echoland Main Street - about 15-20 min walk to nearest supermarket and 5 min to closest shuttle bus. Staff were helpful.

Low hanging lighting in the building could be adjusted in rooms and living room. A washing machine on site would be convenient.

Value for money

Only one bathroom for the whole building
