Rooms in Iida

Everything was fabulous from the proximity to the slopes, to the comfortable common space, to the attentive customer care, and delicious breakfast.

We loved our stay at junior mint. The staff were amazing. So friendly and helpful. The place was also just what we wanted. So homey.

Feel welcome. More room for ski/snowboard gear to dry and get warm for the next day of fun.

The staff are very friendly and the food was delicious. Property was close to iimori ski resort.

The place is beautiful. The garden is spectacular and the staff are very friendly and welcoming. Even when we arrived late they helped is a lot and they were always nice.

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 :)

breakfast and night soba/drinks/ onsen is covered. Super friendly and helpful stuff- the gentleman let us go to onsen despite we already check out in the morning. The indoor/ outdoor onsen is so relaxing- especially after a loooong day of skiing.

Location & facilities & comfortable & service

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

It was close to the iimori slopes and not too far from the city. The place offered great facilities for the winter which showed that they put efforts into little details.

The space, the two bathrooms and having washing machine available.

Very cozy and homey. Welcoming staff.

Breakfast was excellent. Location was just a short walk from both the bus stop (we came in from Nagano) as well as the Goryu ski resort. Staff was very friendly. Several restaurants and a 7-Eleven within a 15 minute walk. Good value for the price. There is also an Onsen on site which was amazing. We used it every night during our stay.

The staff was very attentive, helpful and courteous. We had many requests and they went above and beyond to fulfill our needs. Thank you very much for making our vacation in Hakuba wonderful! We never tried the dinner but we definitely didn’t miss breakfast on our 4 day stay, everything was delicious!

Absolutely outstanding stay! I had an incredible experience at A Lucky Hostel. The hostel has such a warm, authentic Japanese atmosphere that instantly makes you feel at home. Brand new building for the dorms and rooms that was spotless and diligently maintained. Having a private onsen on-site was an absolute dream after long days on the slopes. The beds were exceptionally comfortable — plush blankets, great pillows. The free shuttle service to the ski resorts made the whole trip effortless. What truly made this stay unforgettable, though, was Max, the owner. He is genuinely one of the kindest and most helpful hosts I’ve ever met. When my snowboarding bag went missing, Max went far beyond what anyone could expect. He personally drove to the shipping transfer station to search for it and even had a friend follow up later. When we thought the bag might be lost, he quickly arranged a full rental gear setup so I wouldn’t miss a single day of riding. That level of care and dedication is incredibly rare. Thanks to Max, what could have been a stressful situation turned into a story of amazing hospitality. And the best part — my bag eventually showed up! I cannot recommend this place highly enough.

Great hospitality!!!! Staff were english-speaking, super friendly and welcoming. Felt just like home.
