If you are searching and scrolling, look no further! The Guest House Japan Hakuba is where you want to be! Koji and Chikako are amazing hosts and the accommodations are wonderful! If you’re from the USA, this may be new to you, but fear not, you will not regret staying here! There can be up to 20+ people staying in this house at once, but you would never know that! There’s plenty of room to relax. The rooms have beds and individual heaters, so you can control your own temperature. There are shared (or community) sinks and mirrors, and bathrooms, but true to the Japan experience- -all restrooms have individual stalls with a heated toilet seat and a bidet. There are separate shower rooms for men and women, where the freshly filtered water is always warm. Shampoo, conditioner, and body wash are provided, but you can also bring your own to use. The onsen is amazing to soak your sore muscles in after your shower!! There’s a downstairs entrance to the gear room where you can enter after a long day of skiing or snowboarding and drop your gear. This is also where you start your day, which makes it convenient to get into the van for transport. Koji, Chikako, Patrick, Anna, Molly, or any other of the incredible team take you and your group to the mountain of choice each day. This is a HUGE benefit because the buses for the mountains are often very crowded and it can take an hour or more! Breakfast is delicious and filling. The comfortable lounge area is a great way to have memorable talks and meet new friends if you wish. Or, if you prefer a quiet evening, it’s easy to retire to your room after making a hot tea or coffee. We will always cherish the wonderful memories we made at the Guest House Hakuba and would definitely stay here again if we ever return to Japan.
