At the hostel, rooms are fitted with a wardrobe. Featuring a shared bathroom with a bidet and a hairdryer, rooms at Starfall Lodge also offer a mountain view. At the accommodation each room is fitted with bed linen and towels.

We really enjoyed the breakfast and the shuttles to the mountains. It was perfect for getting us fed and up and mountain quickly in the morning. Place was clean and our 6 bed dorm was much more spacious than we were expecting (and very comfortable). The staff were absolutely awesome and gave us some great recommendations and advice.

it was perfectly located 1 minute from bus terminal and at two of the shuttle stops for Happo Ski. it is across street from convenience store and walking distance to many restaurants. there is ample ski storage. the breakfast is hot and cooked as you arrive each morning. the staff is incredibly hospitable and even brought us a breakfast cart for our last day due to our very early departure time. this was such a pleasant experience for us. the staff also was very helpful prior to our arrival. they answered all questions promptly and sent us information to help guide us on our transportation options to arrive in Hakuba. our room was ample in size with comfy beds (not horribly common throughout Japan), our room was warm and we liked the. couch to kick back on and relax after a long day skiing.

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travelers know there's 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 little 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.
