It sounds like quite a journey arriving in the rain. As for the drying machine, our electricity comes from our own generator, which we shut down after lights-out, so the machine isn't available past that point. This is simply part of running a mountain hut on a limited power supply, and we hope you can understand. We're glad the shared room still felt spacious and relaxing since it wasn't crowded, and that you enjoyed the clean toilets, the option to switch to a boxed breakfast, and the leisurely 7:30 checkout. It means a lot to hear you'd like to stay with us again. Thanks also for the photos. We hope to welcome you back to the mountains of Hakuba, in the Japanese Alps.
