Inns in Hakuba

Hospitality was off the charts, waited for us to come beyond bed time. Helped us out in need when our car got stuck.

The staff were very nice. We did not know the accommodation offers a free breakfast in the morning. It was a great surprise!

Very cozy and homey. Welcoming staff.

If you're here for Ski, there's no better place to stay than Lift Inn Hakuba. Everything you'll need from Ski Hire/Restaurants/Ski Schools/Lift/Lift Pass is in Ezcal Plaza which is only a couple minutes walk away, this is super convenient especially for skiers carrying heavy equipment and wearing stiff boots. Our host, Nicolas is also very kind and would do his very best to make sure our stay is as comfortable as possible. Appreciate him for taking the time to pick us up from Hakuba Happo bus stop to the accommodation during our arrival as well as dropping us off when we're leaving Hakuba. Super nice guy also easily reachable via whatsapp if you need anything Love our room as well, we get a panoramic view of the Ski area for you to watch as people fall on their ski/snowboard which was cool. Our initial worry was that there might be a lot of noise staying so close to the action, fortunately it was pretty quiet and we slept soundly in all our 4 nights stay. The room has both a space heater and AC to keep you warm. The accommodation has shared facilities like dedicated room for storing ski equipment, a washing machine, and also a fully equipped kitchen we're free to use, Nicolas also provided fresh pastries on the counter, and some food in the fridge.

Very kind owners, and great facilities if you have a dog. There is a beautiful outdoor dog run, the owners have dog supplies (pet circle and pet sheets) on hand, and they love having dogs stay. They will even take your dog for a walk while you go snowboarding! I stayed over new years with my two dogs, and it was so fun being around so many people with their dogs; our New Year's Eve party had as many dogs as people! However, if you don't like dogs it won't be a problem, because there are several rules in place to make sure everyone is happy. If you like to travel with your pets and see them enjoy their vacation, I recommend you stay here. The location is quiet and beautiful, but still only a few minutes drive to the station and ski areas. There are several good restaurants in walking distance. The free shuttle buses also all have stops right near the property. The owners were also kind enough to drive me in their car on several occasions, for a very reasonable price. It is a family run property with the real Japanese style and many Japanese guests. It is great to support a local family and local vibes instead of Western owned properties dominated by Western tourists. The communal bathroom areas are kept clean and allow for privacy. Because it is a small hotel, it doesn't really feel like you are sharing the bathroom at all. The rooms have proper wall heaters and there is a lovely wood stove in the communal kitchen area. The mattresses could have been better, but I still slept well surrounded by the peaceful forest. I will definitely be coming back and will stay for longer next time :)
