K's House Hakuba Alps - Travelers Hostel, hotel in Hakuba

Set within 13 km of Tsugaike Kogen Ski Area and 39 km of Nagano Station, K's House Hakuba Alps - Travelers Hostel features rooms in Hakuba.

What I liked the most was that the Japanese owners, the husband and wife, were very good at English. I really appreciated the organization of the garbage sorting system here. It was very organized. I had free access to the kitchen equipment and the common area had a great atmosphere, everyone was sitting together eating, some were checking emails, some were reading books, some were chatting, it was a very intimate atmosphere, and the owner of the hotel also used this area to eat with his own family, I felt like I was at home. I drove to a parking lot that was quite adequate and free.

Keimichi Guest House, hotel in Hakuba

Located in Hakuba, 9 km from Tsugaike Kogen Ski Area, Keimichi Guest House provides accommodation with free bikes, free private parking, a shared lounge and a terrace.

Guest House Keimichi was an extremely welcoming and pleasant place to stay, one of my favorite places I stayed at on the trip. The staff were super helpful and friendly. I am very grateful for letting me leave my baggage for an extra night as well as for helping me with the buses. It had nice common spaces where you can meet other travelers—I met some really nice people there :) The facilities are very good. I especially enjoyed the possibility to use the bikes, which defined my time in Hakuba. Highly reccommended!

Hai Lodge, hotel in Hakuba

Set in Otari, less than 1 km from Tsugaike Kogen Ski Area, Hai Lodge offers accommodation with a garden, free private parking and a shared lounge.

I honestly booked this place because it was cheap and it turned out to be probably my all time favourite hostel. Such comfy and chill vibes and surprisingly well catered for a little place. The location is perfect too. Right near the main lifts for Tsugaike resort which is imo the best hill in Hakuba Valley. Definitely will be staying here again next time I'm in Hakuba.

All hostels in Hakuba
Looking for a hostel?
Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

    Toshi and Megumi couldn't do enough for us - we felt very spoilt! Their advice and support was invaluable (eg all their restaurant and onsen recommendations were spot on) and they made our holiday memorable. Their lovely hostel has a well equipped tidy kitchen, dining room and a cosy lounge. Make use of their great value resort shuttle service - heaps quicker and cheaper than the Hakuba Valley shuttle.

    I highly recommend this place if you're going to ski on a pretty low budget !!!!!! The Pilot Lodge is a comfy place, located at 10 meters from a bus stop that can bring you for free to several ski slopes in 10min, the staff is really accommodating, there is two bathes that you can use on your own and the hostel provides reductions for the ski passes and for a gear rental shop that can pick you up and bring you with your gear ! Thank you so much for everything :)

    The Bohemians’ Shelter is the best hostel in Hakuba. The facilities are new and clean. Gaspard is an amazing host that will help you to enjoy Hakuba ski resort. Free schedules on morning and evening are really convenient. Breakfast is included and dinner can be can prepared also. The beer on top is also a plus !

    Great location close to the shuttle bus that took you to the ski fields We couldn't have asked for better hosts - so helpful with information and transportation. They were so welcoming and warm - I felt like they welcomed us into their home. The hostel was immaculately clean. It has a great kitchen and shared lounge dining space. A perfect location for a family ski trip.
