Places to Stay in Otari

My partner and I had a lovely weekend in there, perfect for people who want to have a sky experience. staff is so kind😁😁 Thanks guys for having us 😁😁

proximity to tsugaike kogen ski resort. as close as it can get. also do the bus stop that comes from nagano.

Everything was great! Good breakfast, clean and spacious room, very close to bus station and lift

Nice hot onsen and good breakfast.

It’s homey, cozy, welcoming feeling and especially the friendly, professional staff! Sako was so helpful and went above and beyond to accommodate our family, The chef was amazing, preparing a new breakfast every morning and a fabulous Christmas dinner!

Great dinner; close to slopes; amazing staff; loved the private baths

Great location & friendly staffs

The guesthouse is very close to the lifts at Norikura. And you can access Cortina from Norikura. Staff was very nice, everything was clean.

The staff was amazing and the food was delicious. They have a free shuttle to and from the gondola at Tsugaike which was a huge bonus. I cannot recommend this hotel enough and we will be back.

Clean, comfortable, and full of Japanese charm—cold public comfort rooms, but a great stay and very near the ski slopes.

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.

I love my stay with the Butter Hotel, which is close to Cortina and a decent walk to Norikura, the staff and people here are very nice! I really enjoyed my stay here:) and would recommend this to fellow snowboarders

Wonderful house built by the owner Yasushi-san. Two comfortable bedrooms and more sleeping room on the 2nd floor. Heating system was working very well and kept us warm throughout our stay. It has all the essentials you need on holiday to cook and for entertainment. Wonderful location just beside Cortina resort. It is also possible to ski home directly from the slopes to the doorsteps! You can get discount vouchers from the owner for rentals and the shop. Audio for Onsen and lift tickets. The owner went the extra mile to help get snow socks for my car when it was stuck in heavy snow. We plan on coming back to stay one summer!

Great staffs all of them especially the Japanese manager, Tom, Ned: thank you. Very clean n comfortable to stay many nights. Hot yummy BF was served daily. Location is next to bus station, gondola (5’ walk) and 3’ walk to chairlift on back road. Saved my energy carrying heavy ski equipment.

The cooked breakfast/dinner was phenomenal. If I wasn’t feeling like having a big breakfast, there was a free continental breakfast, complete with coffee, juices, bread and cereal. Amazing and friendly staff that absolutely shreds powder.

Fantastic view. Location is good. Near 2 ski area

Awesome location for Cortina and friendliest local staff in the area

Good location, right next to hakuba cortina. Easy transportation by bus to the other mountains! Everything was fairly clean and it was nice having separate rooms. Bathrooms were always available as well along with showers! And they had a washer and dryer!!!

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.
