399-9301 Nagano, Hakuba, 3020-906 Echoland, Hokujo , Japan –

Very fun and social hostel, ideal for solo travelers. Great for meeting new people to hit the slopes with! Location is great, very close to rental/convenient store/free shuttle bus stop/bars. Great breakfast and food! Especially the staff has been very helpful. Got a free shuttle ride to the station and they help me with everything I needed during my trip here. Had a great time in Hakuba thanks to all the staff and new friends at Mt. Hakuba Backpackers hostel :)

Basic but good breakfast! You get what you pay for! Staff are english and are really friendly! Best place in Hakuba to meet other solo travellers! Very small rooms, but thats Japan & Hakuba! Great place to sleep, when your skiing all day. Dry room downstairs gets crowded but thats expected during peak season! I'd stay again, as I am a seasoned backpacker and this is all you need! AMAZING LOCATION!

I don’t normally leave reviews, but I felt I had too after such an amazing stay here! I had the best time at this hostel.. The atmosphere and vibe was awesome in the hostel. Was very sad to leave such a great place. All the staff were really lovely and super helpful! The staff even managed to help me track down a lost phone which I had misplaced after a day on the slopes.. was worth every yen and some.

Alexandra, Australia

Good location with multiple restaurants and bars walking distance from the property. Staff helped us out with ski hire as well as lifts to and from the bus station.

Hostel had everything you would expect from a hostel, not great but it’s worth saving money for if you are okay with not as much comfort as an hotel.
