Friendly owners. She also guided me on how to go to Happo-One ike and Karamatsu mountain. The room was large and fully equipped.

This lodge was about 1.2km away from Hakuba station. The nearest bus stop was Hakuba Bus Terminal but the waiting time between two buses was quite long so you need to check the timetable carefully, or you need to walk to this place. Also, there were not a lot of food stores or combini here.

Location and cleanliness

Nothing

Friendly owner lady, room was very clean and spacious, there are a couple of Hot Springs within 15-25 minutes walk and you should ask the owner for discount coupon to enjoy them! The bath tub in the room was fine enough though! The Japanese toilet might be hard to use especially when going for nr.2 it would be great if they replace it with a proper one. It was clean and cleaned daily. Bed was comfortable, the heater manages to keep the room warm enough it has some smell that you might find hard depending on your country. However your body will get accustomed to the smell and you will not feel it after a day or two. The location is kind of in between the train station and the bus station, there was a huge Coop supermarket with anything you need within 10 minutes walk and convenience store at 7 minutes. The owners continuously remove the snow sometimes starting early morning and you can use ear plugs if it is too loud for you. The sidewalk is fairly free of snow even in deep winter and you can somewhat drag your suitcase along it to get to bus or train, not an issue. There is a shared microwave oven and fridge up the stairs and you can have a water pot in your room. All in all was quite ok since you are most of the day outdoors. The windows and rooms open all to the parking lot and main road, it is a pity the hotel was not built to face the beautiful mountains and empty landscape on the back side. Thanks again to the friendly owner lady for caring about the gustes and suggestions places to go.
