Accommodation in Otari

Close to everything, lovely onsen

The place was impeccably clean. Felt brand new, had great bedding (we reminisced over it at the other places we stayed), really everything was top notch. There was a great place to store your ski gear, let your ski wear dry, the kitchen facility had everything you'd need, the showers were great (had soap etc; an area to blow dry your hair). There was also a laundry room, but you had to pay for it. It was really remote in a very romantic you're alone in a winter wonderland way. You are really close to the ski hill and even closer to the shuttle bus stop.

The hotel was clean and the room was large (I booked its family room). Close to the Ski gondola and lifts. Basically ski in and out.

staff very friendly to tourist, especially Chris-san. for food, I've got 3 days straight japanese breakfast and shrimp tempura bowl as dinner, all is very oishi!

We were the only guests at the pension, but we were still taken care of amazingly. Our room was clean, comfortable beds, bathroom was small but the Onsen was ready to use so we did not need the bathroom. Dinner and breakfast were amazing as well. We were picked up at the trajn station. And bells were available during our hike to scare away the bears.

Room was cozy, well equipped. Hotel staff were all super nice, and food was so good! My partner and I stayed there for 6 nights and had lunch at the restaurant every day because it was so good. It is also right next to the ski lifts, making it very convenient. There was even a free public onsen in the hotel itself. Can't wait to be back!

The wooden construction and furniture gives the Canopy Lodge a homey aesthetic which is amplified by the warmth radiating from the central wood furnace. Situated in heavy snow and tall mountains; the warm and cozy lodge offers a winter experience at its finest. It is a far more authentic, and down to earth experience than can be provided by a large scale resort. Breakfast and dinner are offered at the lodge and I would highly recommend eating both as the food is fresh, and cooked professionally by a highly creative and inspired team of chefs. Every plate is high end and delicious, and consists of a healthy assortment of each food group, fueling you through the hours on the mountain. During the evening, the bar's open with great drink options, for those who like a pint of cold beer, wine, or a cocktail after a day on the slopes. Final point to highlight is that the transport offered both to the lodge, from Hakuba, and back; and the transport to the multitude of ski hills each day makes the experience easy and nearly thought free for the lodge guests. Without having to worry about the logistics of the day, you can deeply relax and and fully sink into your holiday. The comfort of the bed, covers, pillows, shower system and bathroom all exceeded expectations.

We did not eat there but Yoriko brought us fresh strawberries one day after skiing. The location was very near the Tsugaike Ski Resort but a bit away from the other resorts in Hakuba Valley. We had a car but the bus service appears to be excellent. The in-house onsen (natural hot bath) was amazing. The hostess, Yorkiko, was very sweet and accommodating.

Great facilities and amenities, bit old school The Shining vibes but nice and clean

Close proximity to the ski field, bars and town

Very friendly service from front desk and the chef can speak pretty good english. Comfy breakfast and ski in sky out resort, perfect for you to quickly get to the chair lift/gondola without carrying the heavy ski or board gears on the road. The room is very clean with room cleaning, and there’s public onsen perfect after a long day of skiing

The staff were fabulous, home cooked food delicious and affordable , it was warm, cosy, clean, sold us our lift tickets and was a very short walk to lifts.

big room, good shower, authentic, friendly staff

We loved the atmosphere - a respectful and welcoming place. The staff were so helpful. We especially loved how the lodge had held on to its traditional Japanese style and feel. The location is perfect too - away from the hustle and bustle of resorts and loudness of back packers - but close enough to everything you’ll need.

The staff were extremely friendly. Breakfast and Dinners were amazing. The traditional Japanese accomodation and food were perfect for me. Great facilities to store and dry your ski equipment on site. They even have clown fish in an aquarium in the lobby!

Easy walk to the ski lift, friendly staff and owners. Breakfast was also great before skiing! The room was bigger than we expected

Location was perfect, Jason the host is awesome, we have been to Japan for many years for the snow & we will now ever only stay at Cortina Apartments. From the moment we arrived we fell in love with it & so did our kids. The ski in and ski out is amazing, the apartment was gorgeous and perfectly furnished and cleaned. The views from the apartment are breathtaking. Nothing was ever a hassle with Jason. Out of all our overseas holidays, this accommodation has been our favourite.

Amazing. The lodge is spacious and beautiful. Every detail has been well considered. The location is ideal. The ski slope is across the road, there is a charming Cafe downstairs, and an onsen down the street. The host is very hospitable.

Breakfast is delicious, With milk, coffee , toast sausages bacon and scrambled eggs, yogurt and cereals. There is a dry room and washing machine completely for free, The shower downstairs is nice and clean the water is really powerful：) The bus stop is right hand 20 meters and the lift No. 8 is left hand 20 meters. Staff was really nice and helpful, The pickup and drop off services are awesome! The night performance in the bar was splendid. So thank you Amy, James, Kai And others I don't know their name, but a 5 🌟 hotel and 5 🌟 staff! Hope next time i can still stay here!

We could walk to the slopes, it was clean, staff were super friendly and helpful. Great drying room. It had everything we needed for a smooth trip.

This was one of the best ski holidays we have been on. The hotel was beautiful - amazing décor, comfortable room, great private onsen and shared spaces, most delicious food (English breakfast and mostly Japanese dinner), helpful staff. The location is really on the slopes of Norikura (which is linked to Cortina), and an easy walk to the shuttle bus for access to the rest of the Hakuba resorts. Hotel provides pick up and drop off from local train/bus stations, so we really didn't need to rent a car. We opted for the half board option and just really relaxed and enjoyed skiing and chilling in the hotel.
