Hotel Soyokaze

This place is a little gem! The owners are so nice and helpful. A very homely feel. Comfortable rooms. A great little private onsen to soak in every day after a day in the mountain. Great location in the heart of echoland. It's the 2nd time we've stayed there and will definitely stay again!

Private Onsen was wonderful, no need to worry about traveling to the busy public ones in the area. The owner Takao was very friendly and extremely helpful. Will come back every time I visit Hakuba. Gear room was great, gear would be toasty warm every morning.

don't have one negative thing to say. Maybe not the best place for anyone looking for a party spot. It was nice to come back to a quiet building and rest up for the next day of deeeep deep pow. Takao will also suggest which mountain will be riding the best if you ask him.

My partner and I had a great stay here. Excellent location, the friendliest hosts, spacious rooms and the onsen was a lovely touch. Would highly recommend!

Takao and his wife were amazing. They made our stay very comfortable and provided all the info we needed on the area. They went out of their way to help us.

The hotel location is very conveniently situated in Echoland which is near Ski Rental shops and many restaurants. The bus stop for the free resort shuttle is also just a 1 minute walk right outside the hotel. Hotel was clean, cosy and the free daily private onsen was perfect after a day on the slopes. There is a storage area in the basement with lockers for your equipment and coin laundry/dryer with detergent provided. Lastly, Takao-San and his wife are incredibly warm and friendly people that made this one of our best stays in Japan. Takao-San drove us to and from the JR station and helped us with our bulky baggage and skis. You can tell from his energy that he is really passionate about providing good service for his guests. We were especially heartened on the last day when his wife even came out of the property to bid us farewell and send us off! True hospitality like this really made this establishment stand out. Highly recommended!

It was perfect! Except the price was a bit on the high side probably due to weekend booking during ski season and we booked at the last minute. I'm sure there are better deals if you book earlier.

The hosts of Hotel Soyokaze are so friendly and caring about the guests. I would stay again for them alone! The hotel is right in the centre of Echoland in Hakuba Valley, a minute from the free shuttle bus to various skiing options, the ski hire places, and restaurants. We did not have a car so this place being so central was great for us. We were in a triple room which was an excellent size for our family. We chose to pay for breakfast most days, and it was very good. Would definitely recommend this place.

The proprietors of the establishment went out of their way to make us feel special, from the first moment to the last. Their breakfast was varied, well priced and delicious. The onsen was beautiful. The room was spacious enough for 3 people. And above all of that was the location. You couldn't get a more convenient location for ski rental, shuttle buses, restaurants and bars.
