Glamping Sites in Hakuba

Very good onsen and excellent service

The hotel has ski town charm - it is ageing but in a very classic way. I really enjoyed the pieces of ski & hotel history that were displayed around the public areas. The staff were very friendly with great English - a hotel shuttle is scheduled frequently throughout the day to take you around the town. It is very close to a ski lift so walking is the way to go for the resort. Other neighboring resorts can be reached by a shuttle that stops outside the hotel. Very handy to have a great ski hire shop next to the hotel too! The hotel had great quirks; We kept picking up the free origami that was left around the hotel (noted as free for guests to take!). Instead of room cleaning, you could choose to get coupons for junk food at reception - Chocolate & chips tempted us most days instead of the cleaning! The Onsen is special - one is outside, landscaped with rocks & the sound of running waterfall style water was very soothing. Made it a very Japanese style of ski resort, loved it. The rooms are very comfortable & spacious by Japanese standards. The bathroom in ours was small, but same as other hotels & I preferred to use the Onsen for showering anyway. The lobby areas are spacious & plenty of couches by the fire to sit all day if you’re not a skier. The breakfast had great options & we enjoyed it. The hours are more limited than standard hotels so double check to be aware. We didn’t want to miss out! Recommend the day your to Nagano with the snow monkeys too. The hotel is superb - cosy classic ski feel. I usually go for modern hotels but so glad we chose this one - so much character!

Close to most resorts for skiing and restaurants

Great location and well sized rooms. The private onsen is really nice feature. The price is good compared to other properties in the area. The rooms are bit dated but they are clean and bed was comfortable.
