Accommodation in Otari

Close to everything, lovely onsen

The receptionist was the kindest we encountered during our trip to Japan—exceptionally helpful and accommodating.

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.

The host is very polite and willing to apologise for the mistake of her staffs.

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.

Here we are again, our stay at La Vista Hotel for the start of 2023 2024 season and celebrate a Happy New Year!! We were SO satisfied with our stay last season that when we decided we wanted to spend New Year at Tsugaike Kogen, we immediately thought of staying at La Vista Hotel again.. I went to check in while my husband went to park the car, and Fei, the lovely young lady at the reception greeted me with such a wonderful friendly smile, remembered me from the past season and was SO kind to help us carry our luggage to our room. Again the room was nice and warm, very clean, the mattresses and pillows VERY comfortable and clean, and I took a heavenly shower. The hot water is really nice and hot and the shower has great water pressure. Don't let the small bathroom intimidate you, you didn't come to stay in the bathroom, you came to enjoy beautiful Winter nature, have some great skiing and enjoy the awesome, warm, kind hospitality of all the staff at Hotel La Vista. The bathroom works, the shower is nice, the hot water is awesome, toilet works too, that's all you need. Want to wash in more space, go upstairs to the 5th floor, they have bathtubs there separated for females and males and these work great too. My husband did that and was happy. I was happy with the shower inside the room. Breakfast starts at 7:15 am, coffee, orange juice, milk, buns, slices of bread that you can toast in the several bread toasters available, 3 different kinds of jam, butter, cornflakes, just what anyone needs for breakfast and get ready to go skiing. We made the mistake of going to another restaurant for dinner one evening, and the dinner was just not good at all. However we did have dinner at the hotel the next evening and this time we remember to take pictures. The food is SO DELICIOUS!! The chef is SO kind & gave us a big smile. THANK YOU SO MUCH Hotel La Vista and staff for another WONDERFUL stay! We can't wait to go back! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!

Amazing dinner, very spacious room, nice outdoor onsen. Very good value of money. Hope to come again in winter in the future

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.

Everything was wonderful, rooms were nice, hosts were very accomodating and friendly, breakfast was excellent and authentic japanese.... and the hand made stained glass windows in the accomodation are very beautiful.

'The palace' as we called it was amazing! The vintage decor transported us to a different era of elegance. The room was spacious and warm with an area to live as well as sleep. The onsen was amazing. Ski in ski out too. Other activities such as hot pot lunch in an igloo was a bonus.

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 are 2 adults and a teenager stayling in a 2-storey family room. The room is very clean, spacious, and comfortable. The dinner was a hotpot set which was delicious. The hosts provided useful information of the nearby ski resorts and the transportation ways to us. They are nice and friendly. There is a cozy space for our lazy-bone time after dinner. A free hot bath with an outdoor snow view through the window is also the unique feature. The location is just beside the base slope of the Tsugaike ski resort where you can easily ski-in and out. In general, I would certainly recommend this lodge for others.

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!

If you are looking for a place to feel yourself welcomed, just book here. Amazing staff, their friendliness is on the highest level 🤗

Very good place and very good host “Jason “

Ryuichi was a lovely host-very helpful and friendly. The accommodation was perfect for our family of 4-big and cosy in all the right places. It was beautiful. The location to the things we wanted to be near (ski resorts) was amazing. Will definitely return!!!

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.
