Hotel Soyokaze

Having the "onsen" hot pool was great to ease out my muscles after each days skiing. Takao san was very hospitable and accommodating. Breakfast availability was great so you could hit the slopes without having to sort that out. The location was very handy to the restaurants in Echoland and bus stops to reach the skifields. Takoa san picked me up from the station and dropped me off when I left.

Very minor grumble but I was not a big fan of the powdered green tea supplied in the room - but it was okay.

Everything!! The private onsen was the game changer. Right next door to the main strip of Echoland and ski resort shuttles

Nothing.

Taka and his wife were lovely and extremely helpful hosts. They went out of their way to make our stay comfortable and assist with any questions that we had - whether it be lift tickets, ski hire or buses. The facilities were immaculate and the private onsen (in the snow) was great to share as a couple. One of the best places we have ever stayed. Location in the heart of Echoland was convenient for getting to all of Hakuba’s resorts. Thank you Taka!

The property was in Echoland; an excellent location being next to Lion Ski Rental, Jaja Supermarket & many delicious restaurants nearby. Takao and his wife were wonderful hosts; extremely friendly, welcoming and always smiling. Takao speaks English and was so kind to take us from and to the train station. The hotel itself feels like a country Japanese home with beautiful and classy decor. There is a fireplace. There is also a private onsen (book once a day) that guests can use with washing facilities - wonderful!! The breakfasts were superb. Each breakfast was home-cooked - delicious omelette with sausage/bacon, bread and jam, cereal and milk, juice, yoghurt, salad, fruit and tea. A nutritious and protein-packed breakfast that will prepare you for a day of skiing/snowboarding. The room was big!! Bed was really comfortable. Toilet had everything we needed. Beautiful cute room!! I love everything about Hotel Soyokaze. We felt like special guests staying in someone’s home. Thank you so much, Takao & wife. Staying here was a highlight for my partner and I in Japan. We will always cherish our special experience here.

Nothing.

Taka is an amazing host. He organised cheap ski passes and all hire for us. Transfer to the bus was a great bonus. Taka really cares about his guests and the rooms are very clean and neat. Private onsen is amazing and value for money. Location is excellent for skiing with the bus right out the door to the mountains.

Location was absolutely fantastic and the hosts were amazing and super helpful.

The location was excellent, a few steps from the main street in Echoland. The facility was clean, warm and very quiet. Mostly, Taka-san, the owner was most enjoyable and very helpful letting us know the mountain and ski status daily, how to get the most efficient shuttles to and from the ski resorts, and arranging any transportation to and from bus and train stations. Very friendly and made our stay quite enjoyable.

Location is perfect is staying in Echoland. The owners are a typically wonderful, warm and accommodating Japenese couple. They're knowlegdeable, great cooks and would go out of their way to help you. The onsen is amazing.
