B&Bs in Otari

We had a wonderful stay at Pension Kobekke with our 9-month old baby. We had read in other reviews that the owners would pick us up from the bus stop, but it was a bonus to learn that there were also multiple shuttles available throughout the day to take us to and from the local ski resort, as well as a shuttle service for dinner time. The rooms are much more spacious than anywhere else we’ve encountered in Japan, and the family that runs Pension Kobekke is so friendly and accommodating. Our baby had the best time in the kids area and we enjoyed the private bath facilities, which were kept clean. We ate dinner at the accommodation one night and the food was delicious and plentiful. There is also a communal lounge area with space to relax in massage chairs, which is great after a day of skiing! The local resort (Tsugaike) is perfect for beginners/intermediate and we hope to return again in the near future.

If we ever come back to Hakuba we will stay here. The location was perfect for us because it was away from the madness of town. We ended up using the daily shuttle provided to Tsugaike and it worked perfectly. There isn't much for food in that area but we would grab food, snacks, and beer from the konbini in Tsugaike. If you want to get to Hakuba it was just a short walk to the road to catch the shuttle. Alan and his staff are so cool, helpful and fun. We brought our boards but I would have been happy using what he rents next time. Amigo rents good boards.

We just had a wonderful 5 nights here at the Nook. Everything was great, the owners and the staff were so lovely and friendly and made our stay a very happy one ..

the property itself was extremely cozy, with a wood-fueled fire going in the game room and extremely comfy beds. there were heating units spread throughout the house, so I never felt cold. the shower in the basement was also absolutely fantastic! I love the onsen-style showers in general, and having one in the property was a genius touch. and I can’t say enough about the owners. I was picked up from the bus station, driven every morning to the mountains, and picked up each afternoon at an agreed-upon time, then driven into town each night to find a restaurant for dinner, then dropped off at the bus station for my journey home. it was absolutely exceptional. the hosts go above and beyond in every way. I would absolutely stay here anytime I come to visit Hakuba. nothing short of exceptional.

I use there for just staying for 1 night. I like owner’s quickly responsive and the room which is good enough for staying. I actually not experienced that much comfortable staying. I also appreciate that worm bath. It’s available on 4pm to 11pm, and you can use by yourself, not like Onsen style which everybody shares. The building is so old as make sound but rooms are pretty good Tatami style. They provide bath towel, face towel, toothbrush and rental hairdryer for free. Hot water and microwave is available for 24 hrs, and it’s so helpful for cup noodles.

Opened for business in the middle of December 2024, I was SO LUCKY to find this place for a few day stay between Christmas and New Years! The location is perfect. It's on a quiet side street literally 5 minutes or less walking distance to the gondola at Tsugaike Kogen Ski Resort and dozens of restaurants and bars. The local shuttle that takes you to all the other resorts is also that close, as well as the transfer bus to Nagano Station and the Shinkansen. As for the facility itself, it is exceptionally clean, updated, and comfortable. Each room has its own heater and my room had a HUGE closet with several hangers. There is a lounge where a basic breakfast is served with coffee. And finally, the staff... It is owned and operated by a super cool Frenchman and supported by his amazing girlfriend and a few of his family members and friends. They are warm, inviting and extremely helpful with recommendations regarding local travel, places to eat, things to do! I could not be happier with how nice and helpful they were to me and everyone that stayed there.

Convenient location to ski resort, very accommodating staff

One of the best memories I’ve had in Japan. The place was super nice and cozy it felt just like home. The people running this place were very wholesome and helpful. The place is spotless clean. The breakfast was very delicious. A great getaway to relax and escape the city. My only regret is not staying longer. Will definitely be visiting again. 1000/10
