    I had a reservation for a large room, but was grateful for the semi-private room, which made me feel relaxed.

    This was my third visit to Mt. Hakuba, but my first time to stay there, only passing in front of the hut and using the nice cafeteria (not open yet this time). I had booked a shared room, but they let me use it like a private room in the winter wing? I was very thankful that they let me use the room like a private room. The view of Tsurugidake and Asahidake from the window was wonderful! The bathroom was so clean that I couldn't believe it was a mountain lodge. The bathroom was so clean that it was hard to believe that it was a mountain lodge. I had a second helping, though. The view from the front of the hut was magnificent and relaxing, and I was convinced that it is a popular hut. Thank you for opening your hut during the remaining snow season! I would like to use it again for skiing.

    From Staff

    Thank you very much for staying at Hakuba Sanso Lodge. We were delighted to hear that, after visiting Mt. Hakuba many times, you chose to stay at Hakuba Sanso during the early season shortly after opening. Thank you also for your kind comments regarding the views of Mt. Tsurugi and Mt. Asahi, as well as our facilities. In particular, hearing that the restroom facilities felt “surprisingly clean for a mountain hut” is very encouraging for all of our staff, who worked hard on last year’s renovation project to improve guest comfort. We also appreciate your feedback regarding the curry dinner. During the spring snow season, meals are prepared under limited water supply and transportation conditions, but your comments will help us continue improving our operations and services. Thank you again for visiting us during the early operating season. We hope to welcome you back to Mt. Hakuba again in another season.

    Thank you for your hospitality on May 6. At this time of year, the temperature at night near the summit of the mountain is near zero degrees Celsius, so it is freezing, but we were prepared for the cold and were able to spend a comfortable stay. The room and bedding were clean and well cleaned. Dinner was hamburger curry with salad and fruit. The curry was refillable, which was very satisfying for my tired body. It is only 15-20 minutes from here to the summit, so early in the morning you can go to the lodge to watch the sunrise empty-handed and return to the lodge to prepare for the descent with plenty of time to spare. Thank you very much and we will be back again if we have the chance.

    Thank you very much for staying at Hakuba Sanso. We are very happy to hear that you had a comfortable stay during the spring snow season. At this time of year, temperatures around Mt. Shirouma can drop close to 0°C during the early morning and evening, so we are glad to know that you were well prepared and able to stay comfortably. We also sincerely appreciate your kind words regarding the room, bedding, and cleanliness of the facility. Your comments are a great encouragement to our staff. We are delighted that you enjoyed the meals as well. We prepare our food with the hope of helping guests recover from the fatigue of hiking, so it means a lot to us that you were satisfied. It also sounds like you were able to enjoy the sunrise from the summit of Mt. Shirouma in the early morning — one of the special experiences of the Northern Alps in spring. We would be delighted to welcome you again in the future. Thank you very much for your visit.

    Even though our arrival was later than scheduled, they handled it without a single look of displeasure. They did not blame us at all for our poor workmanship in filling out the forms. We were given a private room even though we were sharing a room, probably because of the time of year, and we were able to spend a very comfortable time.

    From Staff

    Thank you very much for staying at Hakuba Sanso. We understand you must have been very tired upon your arrival that day. We were relieved to know that you arrived safely. We are also pleased to hear that you were able to spend your time comfortably in your room. Thank you as well for your kind words regarding our staff. In mountain areas, weather and trail conditions can change significantly in the afternoon and later in the day. For safety reasons, mountain lodges encourage guests to arrive as early as possible. We kindly ask all visitors to plan their climb with sufficient time to spare. Thank you again for staying with us.

    We stayed at Hakuba Sanso on May 6, the last day of GW. We arrived later than planned and apologize for any inconvenience caused by the staff. We were immediately served a warm hamburger steak/curry, which was very tasty. We were energized in preparation for the traverse starting the next day. We completed the traverse from the northern ridge of Mt. Hakuba to Tsugakai-shindo and safely descended to Oyashirazu on the 9th. Thank you very much.

    From Staff

    Thank you very much for staying at Hakuba Sanso during the Golden Week holiday period. We understand that your arrival was later than expected, but we are very glad to hear that you arrived safely and that the meal helped prepare you for your trek starting the following day. Thank you as well for your kind comments about the hamburger curry dinner. We will continue striving to provide warm meals that help our guests relax and recover after hiking or before long mountain journeys. We are also very happy to hear that you safely completed your traverse from Mt. Shirouma through the northern ridgeline and along the Tsugaike Shindo Trail all the way down to Oyashirazu. It must have been a challenging yet unforgettable spring journey in the Northern Alps. We would be delighted to welcome you again in the future. Thank you very much for your visit.

    Even if you are not open during the summer season, we would appreciate receiving information on the condition of the trails at various locations. Some other lodges offer the option to have breakfast for the next day at the time of dinner, so we would appreciate your flexibility in this regard.

    From Staff

    Thank you very much for staying at Hakuba Sanso. We also appreciate your valuable feedback and comments. While there may have been some aspects that did not fully meet your expectations during your stay, we are grateful for your honest impressions. During the spring snow season, trail conditions can change significantly from day to day depending on weather and snow conditions, and we do our best to provide guests with the latest information possible. Regarding breakfast bento meals, guests may select this option at the time of booking, and it is also possible to change from a regular breakfast to a bento meal during check-in. However, due to meal preparation and supply arrangements, we kindly ask guests to confirm their preference as early as possible whenever feasible. Thank you again for staying with us.

    I have nothing but good impressions of the friendly and helpful customer service. I was satisfied with the dinner as well, as I could have another helping of curry. The only thing I would say is that the curry had a lot of water in it, which was not to my liking, as I like my curry a little more viscous.

    From Staff

    Thank you very much for staying at Hakuba Sanso. We are delighted to hear your kind comments regarding our staff and guest rooms. We are also very happy to know that you enjoyed the curry dinner enough to have a second helping. Thank you as well for sharing your thoughts regarding the curry’s consistency. During the spring snow season, Hakuba Sanso operates under limited transportation, water, and facility conditions, so we provide a special seasonal menu that differs from our regular summer offerings. We appreciate your valuable feedback and will continue striving to provide enjoyable meals even in the mountain environment. We would be very pleased to welcome you again in a different season. Thank you once again for your visit.

    Good points 1. The introduction of a reservation system simplified the reception and payment process and made it smooth. The restrooms have been renovated and are clean. I expect it will be difficult to maintain hygiene due to the large scale of accommodation. 3. It was warm inside the lodge with stoves and heaters, probably because it was spring time. It was especially cold around the toilets in the morning. We look forward to using the lodge again!

    From Staff

    Thank you very much for staying with us. We sincerely appreciate your kind and detailed feedback. We are very pleased to hear that the introduction of our reservation system made the check-in and payment process smooth and convenient. We are also grateful for your positive comments regarding the improvements and cleanliness of the restroom. On the other hand, we are sorry to hear that the restroom area felt cold in the early morning. During the spring (snowy) season, our facilities are more affected by outside temperatures, and it can become quite cold, especially in the early morning and evening. We will continue to make efforts to maintain and improve our facilities so that all guests can stay comfortably. We look forward to welcoming you again.

    We used the room on the first day of our stay. The room was shared, but since it was empty, we were allowed to use it as a private room. The room was warm and sunny, so it was comfortable, and most importantly, the toilet was very clean. The toilet was very clean, but the water was not flushable due to the time of year. The employees were very nice and the customer service was good.

    From Staff

    Thank you very much for staying with us on the opening day of the season. We sincerely appreciate your kind and detailed feedback. We are glad to hear that, as it was relatively quiet, you were able to enjoy your stay in a more private and relaxed setting. We are also pleased that you found the room sunny and comfortable, and that you were satisfied with the cleanliness of the restroom. Your kind words about our staff are truly encouraging. Regarding the restroom water, during the spring (snowy) season, water may not be available in order to prevent freezing. We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this may cause and appreciate your understanding, as this is necessary to safely maintain the facility. We will continue to strive to provide a safe and comfortable environment for all our guests. We look forward to welcoming you again.
