    I was surprised at how clean the cabin was, especially the restroom. It was really helpful that each silkworm rack had its own power outlet and charging station. The drying room was spacious, too. However, since there was only one table where you could use a stove, I felt it would be awkward to sit there if someone else was already there. The breakfast portion was just right, and it was delicious. The curry for dinner was also delicious, but I would have been even happier if there had been one more small side dish included. The staff were very friendly, and overall, I was very satisfied with this mountain lodge. Thank you for your hospitality. Thank you very much.

    From Staff

    We’re delighted you enjoyed the restrooms, charging outlets, drying room, and our staff’s hospitality. Thank you also for your feedback on the number of tables where stoves can be used and on adding a side dish to dinner, which we’ll keep in mind going forward. We hope to welcome you back to the mountains of Hakuba, in the Japanese Alps.

    Compared to other mountain lodges, I felt that this one prioritized employees over guests. I get the impression that the owner of Hakuba-kan isn’t keeping a close enough eye on things. The facilities are very good, though.

    From Staff

    Thank you for staying with us. We sincerely take to heart that you felt our service did not put guests first. Your feedback will be shared across our entire operation, and we’ll review how we welcome and care for everyone who makes the journey up here. Thank you also for your kind words about our facilities. We hope that one day you’ll return to the mountains of Hakuba, in the Japanese Alps, and leave with a different impression.

    I think the location is good, but it was inconvenient that all water and hot water had to be purchased (I don’t mind paying, but I felt that rates for lodge guests could be a little lower). The staff’s friendliness was average, and it felt a bit off that they treated guests differently (the information they provided clearly varied). First-time guests are particularly sensitive to such details and are more likely to feel uneasy in such an out-of-the-ordinary setting. The curry for dinner was reasonably tasty, and I appreciated that we could have as many seconds as we wanted. I’m well aware that the quality of mountain huts varies across the Northern Alps and that the accommodations change over time, so I understand that it’s impossible to make a definitive judgment based solely on online reviews.

    From Staff

    Thank you for staying with us. Water is a limited and precious resource in the mountains, and we take great care in securing every drop, including the hot water we provide. We’d be grateful for your understanding of these conditions. We sincerely take to heart that our guidance felt inconsistent, and we’ll make sure every guest, especially those staying in a mountain hut for the first time, receives the same attentive explanations. We’re glad you enjoyed the curry with free refills, and we hope to welcome you back to the mountains of Hakuba, in the Japanese Alps.

    Check-in went smoothly since they used a tablet, so there were no lines—I was glad it went so well. Payment was by card, so that went smoothly, too. The room wasn’t crowded; it was a silkworm room, but it was spacious, which was nice. The bathroom was clean, and it felt great.

    From Staff

    We’re so glad you found everything smooth and pleasant, from the tablet check-in and card payments to the clean restrooms. We’ll keep finding ways to make your time up in the mountains as easy as possible. We hope to welcome you back to the mountains of Hakuba, in the Japanese Alps.

    I think the conditions here are pretty good for a campsite. The restrooms are very clean.

    From Staff

    We’re glad you liked our tent site and found the restrooms so clean. We hope to welcome you back to the mountains of Hakuba, in the Japanese Alps, to pitch your tent again.

    This was my first time camping in a tent. The ground was nicely leveled, so it was easy to set up the tent. I ordered a bento box. The salmon bento had no bones, which made it easy to eat even in the dark inside the tent—that was a big help. The restrooms were clean, too. I was wearing a headlamp, so it wasn’t a problem, but it would be helpful if they could turn on the lights.

    From Staff

    We’re so glad your first camping trip got off to a good start on our well-leveled tent site, and that the packed lunch was easy to enjoy even in a dark tent. As electricity is limited in the mountains, we recommend bringing a headlamp for nighttime restroom trips, and we’ll keep your suggestion about lighting in mind. We hope to welcome you back to the mountains of Hakuba, in the Japanese Alps, for another night of camping.

    As soon as I turned on the dryer, it dried in seconds. Thank you. The heater in the hallway gets really warm as soon as I turn it on, too.

    From Staff

    We’re so glad the drying room and hallway heating helped you dry off and warm up. We run the heating according to the weather and temperature each day, and we’re happy it made your time up in the mountains more comfortable. We hope to welcome you back to the mountains of Hakuba, in the Japanese Alps.

    I visited the long-awaited Goryu Mountain Lodge in search of a slightly early fall foliage season. The receptionist’s warm welcome at check-in had me filled with anticipation for my stay at the lodge!! It rained that day, but thanks to the clean and incredibly powerful drying room, none of my clothes got wet. The meals came with seconds, and the miso soup was especially delicious!! The room, restroom, and washroom were all very clean. Thank you for seeing me off with a smile 😊

    From Staff

    Thank you for visiting Goryu Sanso in search of early autumn colors. We’re delighted your stay was such a happy one, from check-in all the way to our send-off. It’s a great encouragement to our team to hear that the drying room kept your gear dry on a rainy day, and that you enjoyed the meals with refills, especially the miso soup, as well as the clean rooms and restrooms. We hope to welcome you back to the mountains of Hakuba, in the Japanese Alps, to enjoy the colorful ridgelines once again.

    The curry rice, miso soup, and dessert for dinner were especially delicious, and of course, breakfast was great too. I also appreciated that I could have as many seconds as I wanted. The room was a bit cold, but I was glad there were working electrical outlets. I was very satisfied with the Wi-Fi on the first floor. I was also pleased with the drying room and the washlet in the restroom.

    From Staff

    We’re so glad you enjoyed the meals, second helpings and all. It’s great to hear you were happy with the charging, Wi-Fi, drying room, and restrooms. We’re sorry the room felt cold; nights get quite chilly at this altitude, so bringing warm layers will help you rest comfortably. We hope to welcome you back to the mountains of Hakuba, in the Japanese Alps.

    Of all the mountain lodges I’ve stayed at so far, this one was one of the cleanest. Above all, I was delighted that the staff welcomed me with smiles. I’d love to stay there again.
