The Bohemians' Shelter

Incredibly hospitable, friendly hostel, very social and the shuttle services are amazing.

Gas was absolutely amazing and provided the best service considering the location you're in. The price was decent! The food was awesome. The people were great too! Would absolutely come back here if I return to Hakuba! He made life super easy and possible, whether it be before or during your stay!

Ofc as per everyone the location but that isn't really a problem with the service Gas provides.

Gas, Bianca and Liam were absolute legends. Always down for a yap and made the place feel like a home away from home. Dinners were awesome, and while the location is a bit further away, there are shuttles to and from the bus stops and into town in the evening. Being a bit more isolated made for a really nice, relaxed atmosphere, as everyone was keen to get to bed to be able to shred the next day! Comfy beds and a cozy common area to chill out in. I don't usually stay in the same place twice, but I just might be back for another stay in 2026 ❄️💙

Only one shower, so sometimes there is a queue (which is common in a lot of hostels in this area anyways).

Gas is a legend and make sure everyone has a good time and runs shuttles everywhere Great service

Lovely place to stay. Very friendly and considerate host and staff, who were able to accomodate vegan dinners for me! Had fun chatting to the other people staying, bed was comfortable, and the house was nice and quiet at night. Even saw some snow monkeys on the drive home from the slopes! Easy to get to the slopes - Gaspard runs three shuttles to and from the slopes during peak season with an easy booking system. The shuttles go directly to Happo and Iwatake and to the town for the others where there is generally a courtesy shuttle to catch to and from the skifield.

Super cosy rooms, and all the bits and pieces needed for a snowboarding trip (dry room etc). Gas also drives you to the mountains or the closest shuttle bus (and picks you up) which is great. He can also accomodate some ad hoc after hours transport for a lower fee than an uber if you want a night on the town. Low cost dinners on offer and free breakfast as well - amazing value! There are also snow monkeys outside from time to time!

Nothing, it was great.

The beds are super comfy with big puffy feather duvets, staff very helpful

Just the distance but it is wjat it is.... it is also nice beiing up the hill a bit.

Host is very friendly & made us feel at home.

Everything was good
