Affordable, simple, family accommodation in traditional rooms with tatami flooring and sliding screens, communal dining facilities, basement for ski storage, affordable coin operated washer and dryer. Just a 2 minute walk from Hakuba bus terminal and 1 min to the Happo One ski shuttle bus! Amazing 20% (I think) discount on the ski hire at Woody Rentals (who were fantastic) right across the road when mentioning Ski Kan. And discount on lift passes if obtaining cards from Ski Kan and charging them up online for your daily lift tickets, so convenient! Lovely, spacious, warm rooms with one having a fridge, low table and sofa. The hot onsen was perfect after a day of skiing, such a normal luxury we love about skiing in Japan unlike the rest of the ski world! But what we most liked about Ski Kan was the friendly, caring, welcoming hospitality of Takako and her son Kuni who went out of their way to make our stay as comfortable and memorable as possible. They made sure you had dinner sorted and Kuni would kindly drive us to Hakuba station and take us to a local Japanese restaurant that was not crowded, was super affordable and delicious without the pretentions of a tourist trap. As a family of 5 we ate to our hearts’ content and drank including sake and beer for AUD85! Kuni then arranged the restaurant to call him to collect us. Amazing service! He’d then drop us at the local Lawson convenient store to pick up some supplies/snacks and we’d walk the short distance home. Takako was amazing when I asked if we could get dressed in the traditional Japanese kimonos and mens formal wear which I didn’t realise was so complicated and time consuming for Takako who was just so amazing accommodating us. It was such a special opportunity that we will cherish but I felt terrible as it took about an hour to dress us all and so much effort for her with the careful dress arranging. We were so grateful for this special occasion.
The shared public onsen and shared toilets were clean but obviously not private ensuites which is always the preference but believe there might be options for that in other rooms. Sleeping on the floor futon/shikibuton was ok, but not super comfortable and hard on the knees with everything being so low like the bedroom table and even sofa. The front bedroom is on street level and bright with street lights and cars at night and the chatter of passers by and a bit colder being at the street front but the middle room was lovely. The one washer and dryer gets very busy in the evenings and with operating time restrictions can be tricky but managed to dry the rest in the ample hanging space in our bedroom.

离八方车站就是机场直达的车站,很近步行5分钟可以到酒店。然后酒店外面走一分钟有雪场的接驳巴士每天挺多来来回回的。英语沟通木有问题,下午还做了日式点心给我们很好噢

I would say that I had a very great time in Hakuba Ski-kan. I feel I am staying home, not the hotel! The owner is friendly and cares for her guest as a family member! I love the food she prepares for me when I go hiking and welcome and farewell food!

The staff are adorable. They would make restaurant reservation for us. Everyday, we got a homemade afternoon snack. The onsen was a really nice treat after a day of skiing. The shuttle bus stop to go to Nakiyama chair lifts and Adam’s gondola is 30 seconds away and runs every 30 min, or you can walk 10 min.

the kindest and most helpful owners, and fantastic location. A hot bath and warm snack awaited us at the end of every day of skiing. authentic ryokan experience.
heads up- only shower option is the public onsen, so if you don’t like being naked in front of strangers then this could be an issue!

Hakuba Ski kan exceeded my expectations. First, the room was cozy and seemed more spacious than in the pictures. Although it was a tatami room, the futon was thick enough so I felt comfortable. Another thing that I didn’t realize is that the property has real natural onsen - it was a blessing to soak in onsen after a long hiking day.
Then, the host was very kind and she provided complementary daily snacks made from local vegetables, which was an unexpected and nice treat. This guesthouse (with actual building being renovated at some point) has been run by several generations of the same family, and here you can truly experience the warm Japanese hospitality.
And of course the property location is just perfect - close to the lifts, a bus stop, Lawson, restaurant. I highly recommend this place and would stay again myself too.
Everything was great.

The host was amazingly helpful and friendly. The house is 70 years old but well maintained and comfortable in its prize range. The hostess was really doing a great customer service job.
all ok!

A very nice and comfortable traditional accomodation in a good location in town, not far from the BT
and in walking distance to the mountains, even with "onsen"
A very friendly, communicative host lady awaited me. A very pleasant stay.
I will come again.

I loved being able to stay in a traditional Japanese Inn. I felt like I had an amazing experience and I really enjoyed coming home after a day of skiing to find a home-cooked Japanese dish for an afternoon snack. The onsen was also ready for me to relax. I loved it!
This isn't the hotel's fault but it was hard to find a place to eat that's open. I ate a couple dinners from Family Mart. Not bad, but I am more interested in enjoying local food.

Takako was a great host! It’s a traditional Japanese hotel and you can enjoy the full experience from the tatami room to the onsen and more. I went with my wife to celebrate our anniversary and had a blast. Highly recommend!
Nothing to complain! But highly recommend to use snow chains or snow tires to get to the property if you are going on snow season.

very cozy and great traditional Japanese Ryokan. 1. facilities are good, we have private bathtub but also has public onsen for use. room was clean and tidy. 2. location is very convenient to the skiing bus stop - mount shop, and also for the bus terminal. there are also many restaurants around but you need to booking in advance. 3. you can buy the skiing tickets at the reception with cheaper price. also you can have ryokan discount when u rent the skiing equipment from the shop across from the Ryokan. 4. the host is very nice and helpful whenever u have any questions. very appreciated for her traditional Japanese desserts. we love it. we will definitely come back next time!

Hakuba Ski-kan is a great place since it's near the Happo bus station, information center, Lawson and some restaurants so location wise- it's really good. The owner and her family are really accommodating and nice. She even gave me lots of free snacks during my stay (she make and bake really good food and cookies). If you need help on where to eat, how to go to this, etc... you can ask the owner and she will help you right away and will even recommend some good restaurants that serves good food. I really had a pleasant Holiday stay. Thank you for taking care of me. Until next time.:)
