Yamakyuso, hotel in Otari

Set in Otari in the Nagano Region, 10 metres from Tsugaike Kogen Ski Area, Yamakyuso features ski-to-door access and a ski pass sales point. Guests can enjoy the on-site bar at a charge.

Came to Tsugaike alone for my snowboard instructor course. Enjoyed my stay in this cozy and quiet guesthouse, it is conveniently located under the "Bell slope", and only a 5 minute walk to the gondola on the other side of resort. The facility is clean and got everything I need especially the public bath and free washing machine which are essential for my long stay. Expect to meet the friendly Japanese family with their English speaking owner. You can choose to be served with homemade breakfast and dinner with variations everyday. Overall it is a good value for my long stay.

Felse Inn Gakusui, hotel in Otari

Situated in Hakuba and only 5.6 km from Tsugaike Kogen Ski Area, Felse Inn Gakusui features accommodation with mountain views, free WiFi and free private parking.

The bus stop right outside the building is awesome when getting to and from the slopes eliminating most of the downsides of being so far from the town centre. The baths were awesome and very relaxing.

Maruni Ryokan, hotel in Otari

Just a 3-minute drive from Happo-One Ski Resort, Maruni Ryokan provides comfortable Japanese-style accommodation featuring hot spring baths and free lobby Wi-Fi.

Fantastic little Ryokan in Hakuba. A great location for skiing, very walkable even in gear to the bus stop for the shuttle, or even to the Happo Gondola. The rooms is lovely. At first I was a bit apprehensive because I'd never slept in a tatami room kinda thing, but its pretty comfortable. Only thing I missed was being able to throw myself onto the bed :-) . The breakfast is amazing, I'd never had fish and rice for breakfast before, but it just works. A great Japanese experience in that regard. Staff are lovely, very kind and polite.

宿屋白金家 yadoya-shiroganeya 1日1組限定2名から8名様まで 全館貸切り 伝統的建造物の旅籠宿 Traditional culture experience, hotel in Otari

Close to Togakushi Shrine, 宿屋白金家 yadoya-shiroganeya 1日1組限定2名から8名様まで 全館貸切り 伝統的建造物の旅籠宿 Traditional culture experience is set in Nagano and has a hot spring bath and garden.

We stayed in this Ryokan toward the end of our trip and it was honestly the best part of our three weeks in Japan. The inn is beautifully kept and every detail is special. The host Maki cared for us like we were a part of her family, I don't think you could experience such kindness and hospitality anywhere else. Maki and her mother prepared us an 8 course meal of traditional local Japanese food in their beautiful dining area and each element was prepared thoughtfully. The bath left us feeling so calm and relaxed. Maki walked us through the inn and explained she is the fourth generation proprietress of the inn after her late grandfather built it 85 years ago, the building feels historic and the beautiful smell of wood is relaxing. Thankyou to Maki and her family for creating a lasting and beautiful memory for our first ryokan stay.

    Very friendly service from front desk and the chef can speak pretty good english. Comfy breakfast and ski in sky out resort, perfect for you to quickly get to the chair lift/gondola without carrying the heavy ski or board gears on the road. The room is very clean with room cleaning, and there’s public onsen perfect after a long day of skiing

    Accommodation was clean and comfortable. Rooms were a good size and had a view of the japanese alps. Had a ski storage room and drying room which was handy. Only accommodation we stayed in Japan with a drying room. Nice onsen which was good after days skiing. Location was about 3-4 min walk to ski lifts.

    Literally able to walk outside the door and get onto the ski lifts. Location could not be any better. Staff were also very friendly, complimentary breakfast was great, and they were very kind to let us store our bags there for the day after we checked out in the morning. Room and bathroom were clean and heater worked well. The room was also quite spacious even with the futon beds fully setup.

    Great location on the slopes, ski-in ski-out access is great. However keep in mind it is a 15 minute drive from the village so can be hard to get into the village if you need to. Onsen is fantastic, especially after a long day skiing.

    Location was superb. Ski in ski out. Hotel onsens were great after a long day on the mountain. Buffet breakfast and dinner were ok. Good selection of foods but these were pretty much the same every day.
