The rooms are very large and feel perfect for 4 people, and the value for money is excellent. The view out of the room was excellent. There is a parking lot outside the hotel.

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.

    Great location adjacent to the ski slopes and nearby restaurants. As close to ski-in, ski-out as crossing the road. The hosts had recently purchased the hotel and were keen to provide a memorable customer experience. The included breakfast set us up for the day's skiing and the dinner option was excellent.

    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.

    Great location at the base of Cortina ski resort - the nearest ski lift is 30 seconds away from the hotel. The rooms are huge - very generous size. Buffet breakfast and. dinner are well worth the price, great selection of food and drink. Luggage lockers/ski storage is available prior to checking in: JPY600 Ski lockers are only available once you have checked in (after 1500). The shop in the lobby sells snacks, drinks, souvenirs and basic toiletries.

    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.
