Accommodation in Otari

'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.

Delicious Japanese breakfast served every morning, discounted rental rates for skis/snowboards just next door. Convenience store just located across the road. Very close to the slopes. Public onsen available as well!

Literally able to walk outside the door and get onto the ski lifts. Location could not be any better. Staff were also very friendly, complimentary breakfast was great, and they were very kind to let us store our bags there for the day after we checked out in the morning. Room and bathroom were clean and heater worked well. The room was also quite spacious even with the futon beds fully setup.

Great ski in/out location, lovely staff and enjoyed the food.

big room, good shower, authentic, friendly staff

Room was fabulous- clean, spacious, cozy. Gentleman at the front helped with all my questions Was my first experience with onsen, all instructions listed in English. Had a selection of different shampoo/conditioners to use. Location was easy to find, close to the bus station and ski hill

Everything. Great room and location

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.

Great location for skying. Very comfortable rooms. Breakfast was good.

The host is extremely helpful and friendly. She helped us to send ski gears to the airport thru Yamato and gave us a lift to nearby bus stop. She’s very passionate and care about our stay experience. The stay also has a mini onsen for relax after the ski day.

Legendary staff. Fun night activities. Great food.

Staffs here really nice and helpful. Best choice for snowboarding trips :)

Very convenient to ski slopes, bus and several food choices. Pleasant traditional Japanese lodge.

Although it isn’t very new, it’s extremely clean and tidy. You can really feel the care and effort put into running it. Many thanks.

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.

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!!!

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

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.
