    It's a shame the restroom smells. The food was delicious, though.

    From Staff

    Glad you enjoyed the meals. We're sorry the toilet odor left you disappointed, and we'll take this into account for future improvements. We hope to welcome you back to the mountains of Hakuba, in the Japanese Alps.

    I thought the meals were good. I was satisfied that dinner was a simple curry (with seconds available), but some of my traveling companions expressed dissatisfaction, saying, “We’d like one more dish.” The tap water wasn’t treated with disinfectant but had been boiled (though it did have a slight metallic taste), and it tasted better than I’d expected. It was nice that the restrooms were clean and didn’t smell. The rooms gave me the impression of being quite modern, with 100V power outlets, USB ports, and individual lighting for each section. My only complaint was that the futon was narrow (by recent mountain hut standards). It was a shame, given how good the room’s amenities (power outlets, lighting) were. Based on this point, I rated the room as “average.”

    From Staff

    We're glad the simple curry with free refills hit the spot. We'll also keep the request for an extra dish in mind for future menu planning. Thank you for mentioning that the rainwater tasted better than expected. It's a real encouragement to hear the clean toilets, along with the 100V outlets, USB ports, and per-space lighting, came across as forward-thinking. At the same time, we take seriously your comment that the futon width felt narrow, and we'll consider this going forward. We hope to welcome you back to the mountains of Hakuba, in the Japanese Alps.

    I was so grateful that the drying room was the most powerful one I’ve ever seen. I’ve stayed at dozens of mountain huts over the years, and this one is definitely number one.

    From Staff

    The drying room's power clearly made an impression, and being ranked the best out of dozens of mountain lodges you've stayed at overall is about as good as it gets for us. We hope to welcome you back to the mountains of Hakuba, in the Japanese Alps.

    Due to the recent rise in temperatures, I hiked from Alps-daira to Goryu Mountain Lodge amid the triple torment of rain, wind, and fog. Even though I wore a raincoat, I ended up completely soaked, but I was truly relieved to receive such a warm welcome at the lodge. My wet clothes dried perfectly in no time in the drying room, which has amazing drying power. I wish I could have dried my boots there as well. The meals were delicious—I even had seconds of the famous curry—and the futons were arranged thoughtfully, so I was able to rest comfortably through the night. I was also able to gather a lot of information about hiking. Thanks to that, I was able to complete a round trip to Mt. Goryu and hike to the Karamatsu-dake Summit Lodge, even though the routes are said to be somewhat dangerous. The sushi in my packed lunch was delicious, too. Thank you so much for taking such good care of me in every way. I’m really glad I stayed here.

    From Staff

    We're relieved to hear you made it safely despite being soaked through in the rain, wind, and fog. It's reassuring to know our welcome felt warm after such a tough climb. We're glad the drying room's performance impressed you so much, and we've noted your request about drying boots as well for future consideration. It's great that the curry refills, the thoughtful futon arrangement, and the mountain trail information all added up to a comfortable stay. We're also relieved you were able to safely complete the round trip to Mt. Goryu and the walk to Karamatsu-dake Chojo Sanso, even with the route's reputation for being tricky. Glad the sushi in the lunch box was a hit too. We hope to welcome you back to the mountains of Hakuba, in the Japanese Alps.

    I was surprised to find that the restroom was so clean—and that a mountain lodge even had a Washlet. The room was clean, too.

    From Staff

    Glad the clean toilets and the washlet came as such a pleasant surprise, and that the room felt clean too. We hope to welcome you back to the mountains of Hakuba, in the Japanese Alps.

    Even though it's a "silkworm room," we'd like to have roll-up curtains or something similar for each group.

    From Staff

    Thank you for the suggestion about roll curtains for group-by-group privacy in the shared sleeping area. We'll take this into account for future improvements. We hope to welcome you back to the mountains of Hakuba, in the Japanese Alps.

    I stayed in the newly renovated Japanese-style room. It had a pleasant scent of wood and was a very comfortable room. You need to use your smartphone to check in. Wi-Fi was available throughout the hotel.

    From Staff

    Glad the scent of fresh wood in the renovated Japanese-style room made for such a pleasant stay. Thank you for mentioning the smartphone check-in process and the in-lodge Wi-Fi too — that's helpful for future guests. We hope to welcome you back to the mountains of Hakuba, in the Japanese Alps.

    I was so impressed that the toilet had a Washlet! The heater in the drying room was really powerful, so my clothes dried right away—I really appreciated that.

    We're so glad the washlet toilet made such a great impression, and that the drying room stove worked well for you. We hope to welcome you back to the mountains of Hakuba, in the Japanese Alps.

    I was a little surprised by how cramped the sleeping platforms were. I suppose it can’t be helped since it’s a popular mountain cabin, but I wish there had been at least a partition board, even if just around the head area.

    From Staff

    We're sorry the sleeping shelves felt cramped. Your suggestion about adding a partition, even just near the face area, is a concrete idea we'll take into account for future improvements. We hope to welcome you back to the mountains of Hakuba, in the Japanese Alps.

    The staff at the front desk and the gift shop were kind and friendly, but the cafeteria staff left something to be desired.

    From Staff

    Thank you for the kind words about the front desk and shop staff. We also take your comment about the dining staff seriously and will work on improving that side of the service. We hope to welcome you back to the mountains of Hakuba, in the Japanese Alps.
