    I asked to reschedule my stay once, and I’d like to thank you for handling the rebooking and refund so promptly. Although the room I stayed in was a large one, it was divided into individual spaces for each guest, which allowed me to enjoy a comfortable and private stay while also feeling secure about infection prevention measures. I especially appreciated the Washlet in the restroom. I look forward to visiting again. Thank you very much.

    From Staff

    We’re so glad your date change went smoothly and that you enjoyed a comfortable stay. Mountain plans often shift with the weather, so we do our best to be flexible with reservation changes. It’s great to hear you found the shared room comfortable and appreciated the restrooms. Thank you for the photo of your meal, too. We look forward to welcoming you back to the mountains of Hakuba, in the Japanese Alps.

    As expected, the view was amazing. The food was fantastic—both the portions and the flavor. Even the bento boxes were a real treat. Everyone was so cheerful and kind. I felt completely at ease during my stay. I had a wonderful day learning about the inn’s 120-year history. It can’t be helped, but the room was cold... We all slept with two comforters on top of us and dressed in layers.

    From Staff

    We’re so happy you enjoyed the views, the meals, and our staff’s hospitality, and that a day spent among our 120 years of history became such a lovely memory. Thank you for the photos of your meals and packed lunch, too. Nights near the summit can get colder than many expect, and we’re sorry the chill made your rest less comfortable. We hope to welcome you back to the mountains of Hakuba, in the Japanese Alps.

    Everything was very clean, and I had a comfortable stay. Thank you for welcoming me with a smile even though I arrived late. I gave it a 4 because the rice at dinner was a little soft, but I think that’s just a matter of personal preference, so please don’t worry about it too much.

    From Staff

    We’re glad you had such a comfortable stay, and thank you for your thoughts on the rice, which we’ll keep in mind. As mountain weather can change quickly, for your safety we kindly ask that you arrive by 4:00 p.m. at the latest next time. Thank you also for the lovely photo of the lamp. We hope to welcome you back to the mountains of Hakuba, in the Japanese Alps.

    On my hiking trip, I first stayed at a mountain lodge with private rooms. It was comfortable, the food was delicious, and I had a wonderful afternoon with my friends. I made some wonderful memories at Hakuba Mountain Lodge.

    From Staff

    We’re so glad you spent the first day of your climb enjoying a fun afternoon with friends. Thank you for the lively photo from the Sky Plaza. We hope the memories you made at Hakuba Sanso will carry you through many more mountain journeys. We look forward to welcoming you back to the mountains of Hakuba, in the Japanese Alps.

    I really got a sense of just how impressive Hakuba Sanso is. The sheer size and scale of the place made me glad I stayed there.

    This was my second time staying here, and just like last time, I had a very comfortable stay. After staying here this time, I’ve come to like Hakuba Sanso even more than before. When I went to restock on Pocari Sweat, the vending machine at Sky Plaza was out of stock. When I mentioned this, the staff member smiled and told me there was another vending machine in the lounge, and they promptly restocked the one at Sky Plaza as well. Thank you for your thoughtful service. Another thing I really appreciated was how the staff at the front desk were all firmly reminding hikers, “Please don’t ring your bear bells!” It wasn’t just about polite customer service—the fact that they treated hikers as equals really felt like a true mountain lodge. I also found Mr. Matsuzawa’s account of Hakuba Sanso’s history incredibly fascinating. I’m probably around the same age as Mr. Matsuzawa, and seeing him dedicate himself so passionately to the mountains and Hakuba Sanso was truly inspiring. I’d love to speak with him in person someday. It’s because of Hakuba Sanso and Mount Hakuba that I love this mountain range. I apologize for the long message. I look forward to staying there again. Thank you so much! Congratulations on your 120th anniversary!

    From Staff

    Thank you for your second visit, and for such a heartfelt review. Hearing that you’ve grown even fonder of Hakuba Sanso means more to us than anything. We’re glad we could point you to the other vending machine and restock the one in the Sky Plaza right away. Our reminder about bear bells is a request so that everyone sharing the mountain can enjoy their time here. It’s very encouraging to know you saw it as the spirit of a true mountain hut, where we stand alongside hikers as fellow mountain lovers. Thank you as well for your interest in the history of Hakuba Sanso, for your kind congratulations on our 120th anniversary, and for the wonderful photos. Your words that you love this area because of Hakuba Sanso and Mt. Hakuba will stay with us as we continue caring for these mountains. We hope to welcome you back to the mountains of Hakuba, in the Japanese Alps, and talk more someday.

    I really appreciated being able to get seconds of rice and miso soup. I was satisfied with the breakfast, which included two whole fish. The bento box was also filled with side dishes that gave me a real energy boost. Both the cabin and the restrooms were spotlessly clean, so I didn’t experience any inconveniences. If I’d known the tap water was safe to drink, I wouldn’t have had to carry such heavy water with me. Still, I was able to refill my bottle there, which put my mind at ease as I headed back down the mountain.  When I opened the window in my room, I was thrilled to see Mt. Shakushi and Mt. Tsurugi. It was a truly extraordinary experience.

    From Staff

    We’re happy you enjoyed your meals, from second helpings of rice and miso soup to breakfast and your packed lunch. Water is a limited and precious resource in the mountains, so we’re glad a refill helped you head down with peace of mind. Your excitement at seeing Mt. Shakushi and Mt. Tsurugi from your window made us smile too, and thank you for the beautiful starry-sky photo. We hope to welcome you back to the mountains of Hakuba, in the Japanese Alps, for another escape from everyday life.

    The room was spacious, so I was able to relax comfortably. The restroom was also comfortable. At the restaurant, I tried the “Sanzoku-yaki” curry, and I was blown away by how delicious it was. The cake set was also very tasty. It was the kind of mountain lodge that made me want to go back again. It’s a place I’d definitely recommend to my hiking buddies.

    From Staff

    We're so happy to hear that our sanzoku-yaki curry impressed you so much. It's wonderful that you enjoyed your time at the Sky Plaza, along with the cake set. Thank you, too, for the beautiful photos of the morning glow and sea of clouds. Knowing you'd recommend us to your hiking friends is a great encouragement for us. We hope to welcome you and your friends back to the mountains of Hakuba, in the Japanese Alps.

    I’d be happy if the restrooms in Building 1 were also equipped with flush toilets. It’s really helpful that the hallways and restrooms have night lights. After all, it’s wonderful that drinking water comes right out of the faucet. The service is great, and the meals are delicious and very filling.

    From Staff

    We're so glad you appreciated the night lights, the drinking water from the tap, and our hearty meals. Thank you for the photos, too. Water is a precious, limited resource up in the mountains, and we keep finding ways to make your stay as comfortable as possible within those limits. We will take your request about the restrooms into consideration. We hope to welcome you back to the mountains of Hakuba, in the Japanese Alps.

    I stayed in a 2-tatami-mat private room. Both the facility and the room were very clean, and the futons were soft and fluffy, so I was able to fully recover from the fatigue of my mountain hike. The meals were also very delicious and hearty, and I was completely satisfied.

    From Staff

    We're so glad the fluffy futon helped you recover from your climb. It's wonderful that you enjoyed our hearty meals, too. Thank you for the photo. We hope to welcome you back to the mountains of Hakuba, in the Japanese Alps.
