so cute

climb up the mountain

Good value and simple ryokan/lodge given all the other accomodations are very expensive in Hakuba. You can have breakfast/dinner but you need to reserve before hand. Super nice owner. They also offer ski rentals for much cheaper than a normal rental store.

might be difficult for some as you need to walk up a hill to get there.

nice and quiet, the staff were super friendly and helpful.

The staff were really nice and helped me with my stay! The room was comfortable and the location is very easy to get to Happo-one gondola

the staff are pleasant and helpful.

The location of the property it is in the uphill. When we stay it was winter, getting to property with luggages and snow gears are inconvenient.

the owner was super kind. I mean the kind that is hard to understand unless you visit. She was so attentive and clearly cared so much for her guests and their experience. I would definitely stay here again.

The walk up the hill is a bit treacherous but an alternate route through the shrine is an excellent detour. Make sure to pay the Kami or they may decide to curse you with bad luck.

For the price, hard to get better than this. I’m coming to ski for 3 days in the Hakuba area. If you are like me, read on. Easy things first, the bad thing, this ryokan is located on top of a small hill, the last 50-100meter you need to walk up a small hill, in winter snowy times when the road is layered with snow or even ice, hauling your ski equipment is no easy task, if you are coming with kids or like me arriving at night could be challenging, location on google map is correct but the walk path is slight off. I managed to overcome all of this. Now the good things, you are within walking distance (10mins) to Happo One resort (the biggest in the ski area) and within 5mins to the bus terminal, which you take free ski bus (if you have the Hakuba valley ski pass) to other ski resort in the area meaning that once you get here it’s very nice (u still need to walk or ski down the small hill daily to get in/out). The owner speak little English, provide breakfast if u let them know 4pm on the day before. They also sell discount ticket to the 2 Onden nearby. Room is very clean and bathroom is shared but clean also. Bathroom is freezing cold when you go at night
