    I was surprised at how clean the bathroom and sink area were. The room was comfortable, too. I couldn’t adjust the portion size of the curry for dinner, so I ended up leaving a little bit—I felt bad about that—but they kindly switched my breakfast to a bento box, which had vinegared rice and a large umeboshi, making it easy to eat.

    From Staff

    So glad the cleanliness of the restroom and washroom stood out to you, and that your room was comfortable throughout your stay. We're sorry the curry portion at dinner wasn't quite right for you. For breakfast, we prepare a boxed meal with vinegared rice and a generous umeboshi, designed to be easy to enjoy on the go. We hope to welcome you back to the mountains of Hakuba, in the Japanese Alps.

    I stayed here in a tent. The ground at the campsite was neatly leveled and easy to use. At first, I was a bit taken aback by the layout of the private restroom stalls—which allowed you to sit while looking out at the mountains—and the large windows, but personally, I found this unique atmosphere to be a positive experience. There was one thing that bothered me, so I lowered my overall rating slightly. I pitched my tent in the spot closest to the benches outside the mountain hut, but due to the wind direction, I was bothered several times by the smell of cigarette smoke from people smoking on the benches. For non-smokers, the smell of cigarette smoke in nature is particularly bothersome. In line with the current trend in modern society toward designated smoking areas in various places, I believe that if designated smoking areas were established, non-smokers could also enjoy a pleasant time there.

    From Staff

    We're glad you liked how well-maintained the tent site's ground was, along with the view from the restroom stalls. At the same time, we're sorry that cigarette smoke near the outdoor bench was such a source of discomfort. Thank you for the suggestion about designating a smoking area — we'll take it seriously and consider it going forward. We hope to welcome you back to the mountains of Hakuba, in the Japanese Alps.

    Thank you for the suggestion about having a light lunch option available. We appreciate the feedback and will keep it in mind going forward. We hope to welcome you back to the mountains of Hakuba, in the Japanese Alps.

    At the restrooms inside Goryu Mountain Lodge, when I first saw them with the doors open, I couldn't tell which was which, and I almost walked into the women's restroom by mistake, so I thought it might be a good idea to use different colors to distinguish between the men's and women's restrooms.

    From Staff

    We're sorry the restroom signage wasn't clear enough for you to tell the two apart right away. We do have pictograms in place, but we'll take another look at how to make them even more immediately clear for first-time visitors. We hope to welcome you back to the mountains of Hakuba, in the Japanese Alps.

    Some of the front desk staff have a less-than-ideal attitude toward guests; they don’t respond when you greet them. It’s nice that they provide weather information. There’s no lounge, so there’s no place to socialize. I was glad they kept the drying room properly heated. The room was clean, and so was the bathroom. It was nice that we could get seconds at meals.

    From Staff

    We're sorry for the discomfort caused by the front desk staff's attitude, and we'll revisit the basics of hospitality, including greetings, with the team. Your point about the lack of a common area for exchanging information with other climbers is also a valuable one that we'll keep in mind. We're glad you appreciated the weather updates, the drying room, the clean room and restroom, and the free refills at dinner. We hope to welcome you back to the mountains of Hakuba, in the Japanese Alps.

    In this Reiwa era, the silkworm room lacks partitions and feels lacking in privacy. I also found the dinner to be rather sparse and lacking compared to mountain huts operated by other chains. The curry itself was delicious, though.

    From Staff

    We're sorry the room didn't offer the sense of privacy you were hoping for. If privacy is a priority for you, please consider booking a private room next time. We'll also keep working to make dinner more satisfying. We're glad you enjoyed the curry itself. We hope to welcome you back to the mountains of Hakuba, in the Japanese Alps.

    It was surprisingly clean and comfortable for a mountain lodge. Honestly, the fact that the toilet was a Washlet was nothing short of astonishing. Furthermore, accepting cashless payments is a wonderful initiative that defies the conventional wisdom about mountain lodges.

    From Staff

    We're truly happy to hear you felt we're overturning the usual image of a mountain hut. It's encouraging to know you noticed and appreciated the cleanliness, the washlet toilets, and the cashless payment options. We're glad you were able to enjoy a comfortable stay. We hope to welcome you back to the mountains of Hakuba, in the Japanese Alps.

    The wind was strong, so the advice about the campsite was really helpful 😊
