Lodge Free Run is located right in front of the ski lift at the Tsugaike Kogen Ski Area. It features free Wi-Fi, a restaurant and free coffee at the shared lounge. Skiing lessons are available, and free parking is on-site.

Super close to the gondola. Basically ski-in ski-out. The owners are really nice and hospitable. They have discounted lift prices and can easily grab rental gear for you. Breakfast was delicious, since food was homemade! The lodge aesthetically is beautiful. They have a room to dry and store all your snow equipment. I’m not sure there’s anything else I can say! This place needs to be gatekept. Hope to be back!

Tsugaike Ski House has mountain views, free WiFi and free private parking, situated in Otari, 800 metres from Tsugaike Kogen Ski Area.

Hakuba Cortina Ski Area is 6.2 km from the lodge, while Happo-One Ski Resort is 7.7 km from the property. The nearest airport is Matsumoto Airport, 73 km from Tsugaike Ski House.

A great place to stay when skiing Tsugaike and the surrounding Hakuba valley. Each day there was a different delicious dinner and breakfast which included a lot of pickled and preserved home grown produce. To me it seemed a fairly authentic ryokan experience with some rustic charm.

    I was initially skeptical about staying at Tsugaike seeing how the "main" resorts Happo-one and Hakuba 47 are quite a distance away. However, Hai Lodge was everything that previous reviewers had said. Tsugaike is a wonderful resort with many different terrains that would satisfy most people. The place was very well-maintained and clean. Josh and Victoria were wonderful hosts. Overall, I enjoyed my stay at Hai Lodge and will definitely stay again next time!

    Great location right on the slopes near the gondola at Tsaigke Kogen. Very clean, nice staff and everything you need for a basic ski lodge style accommodation. The value for money is excellent and the restaurant within the main building is great and very good food and a great selection of wine and Japanese whisky. Drying room, kitchen, free wifi and shared areas.

    Loved that the slopes were literally across the street and we could snowboard straight down to the ski lifts. The amenities were clean, and the lodge was super cosy. The host cooked us amazing breakfasts and helped us out when we needed to get in touch with the ski schools.

    Very welcoming atmosphere and approachable staff! Had a great time here and would highly recommend. Hai Lodge is a quick 3 minute walk from Tsugaike gondola, and has shuttle to onsen, other ski fields and grocery store

    Everyone at Canopy Lodge was super friendly and went out of their way to make sure everything was great. If you haven't heard about Mike's cooking already, you're in for an amazing experience. Each meal was incredibly adventurous, tasty and healthy. He also caters to dietary needs.

    The owners, Emily & Mike, are the best! Nothing was a problem, and they stayed in contact with us the whole time during our stay to ensure we had our plans sorted and travel arrangements organised. The other staff were fantastic and friendly, food was great, and could not fault our stay in the lodge at all. A great family-operated feel to everything 😊
