Gakuto Villas

Perfect for a family

This was a family snow holiday (all young adults) and our first overseas. Although the accommodation was not on the slopes it was in close proximity to the Hakuba fields with Happo One being the closest (About 5 minutes by Bus or a 10 minute walk). The Hakuba shuttle services picked up from basically the front door and the Gakuto guest bus filled in the blanks. Some restaurants, a pub plus Snow Gear Sales and Hire (Rythmn) shop accessed by a short (2 minute walk through the snow) just added to the ambience.

We had a lovely time. No complaints we can think of! The villa was perfect for a family of 4. The underfloor heating was a nice luxurious touch. The staff was amazing and super accommodating. Shout outs to Sae and Yuki especially. We would definitely book Gakuto Villas again.

We loved every minute! Great location close to fantastic restaurants and the ski shuttle buses stop right out front. Very modern villas and staff were very helpful and friendly.

We really enjoyed our stay here. The Villa is very spacious and clean. It's also centrally located. The only thing I wish for is that they would give us more towels. When I found a burnt pot, and told the receptionist, they replaced it right away with a new one. I would definitely recommend my friends to stay here.

子供も社会人となり５年ぶりの家族全員の旅行でした。ホテルは効率的ではないので一軒家を借り切った形のこのヴィラスはとても良かった。バストイレが二つあり清潔でした。周囲のロケーションも良く軽井沢のようでした。ただ、冬季だけ運営するレストランが多く夏はディナーの予約を早めにしないと彷徨うことになります。長女が誕生日でしたので八方タウンの素敵なケーキ屋さんでケーキを買い、駅近くのイオンで花火を買って楽しく過ごしました。

In beautiful Hakuba, Gakuto Villas is a gem! Spotless, modern two story villa. All the amenities of home in really cool facilities. Totally hi-tech: wifi included, floor ambient heaters (although we didn't need them in August), bathrooms were tricked out! Downstairs was like a Japanese bath with shower and soaking tube in a room separated by toilet with a sliding (Waterproof) door. Upstairs bath was equally cool. Modern toilets, of course. Hakuba is so charming and the more we explored, the more we liked it. Though our host Kayo warned us that many restaurants were closed, we found some good eating. Wondering why it's not a more popular summer destination it's so beautiful.

7月に2泊しました。部屋はとにかく綺麗で隅々まで清潔感にあふれていました。3歳の息子は大喜びで階段や部屋を走りまわりはしゃいでいました。 料理に必要なものも揃っており、快適に過ごすことができました。 近くには温泉やスーパー、おいしいお蕎麦やハンバーガーのお店、こどもがちょっと遊ぶのに良い小川などもあり、1週間くらいのんびり滞在したかったです。また必ず行きたいと思わせてくれる数少ない宿の一つでした！

Had a very enjoyable stay at Gakuto Villas. Very comfortable villa for a family of four. Thanks to the team at Gakuto for helping us collect ski gear, take us to supermarket and drop off and collect from skiing every day due to buses no running at end of season.

Exactly as per the photos. We had a great stay, just outside happo main centre with busses to all ski locations and a few really good restaurants nearby.
