    I’ve stayed here a few times specifically to see the Tsukumogusa, and since there are hardly any other guests at this time of year, I’ve been able to enjoy plenty of space and a quiet stay, which I’m very happy with. The online reservation system has helped me save cash, and the introduction of Starlink has made it much easier to access information whenever I want—I used to have to go outside all the time just to find a signal. Come to think of it, the path along the pond on the way back had been cleared of snow, so it was much easier to walk on.

    From Staff

    Thank you very much for staying at Hakuba Oike Sanso. We sincerely appreciate your continued visits during the blooming season of Tsukumogusa each year. We are delighted to hear that you enjoyed the peaceful atmosphere, as this time of year is generally less crowded and allows guests to relax in a quiet mountain setting. We are also pleased that you found the improvements helpful, including the ability to pay in cash with our web reservation system, the more reliable communications made possible by Starlink, and the improved trail along the lakeside. Your kind comments are a great encouragement to all of our staff. We look forward to welcoming you back again during the Tsukumogusa season.

    I spent the night in a tent. I heard the helicopter was coming at 5:00, so I got up and waited while drinking coffee. Just as the helicopter came flying in with a whoosh and I was about to put on my shoes and go outside to protect the tent, a rescuer had already come out from the cabin. I thought, “Whoa, who’s that?” but I have to give a big “Good job!” to the young guy from the cabin who made sure to protect the tent!

    From Staff

    Thank you very much for staying at Hakuba Oike Sanso. We sincerely appreciate your kind words about our staff. At mountain huts, helicopter deliveries are a regular part of operations. When helicopters arrive, our staff patrols the campsite to check safety and help prevent tents from being blown away by the strong wind. We are very glad that our staff was able to assist you. We hope you will stay with us again at Hakuba Oike Sanso when you next visit the Northern Alps. Our entire team looks forward to welcoming you back.

    I’m a frequent guest here. The meals were absolutely wonderful, and they gave me the energy I needed to set off on my journey. Early in the morning (at 4:00 a.m.), I think it was a staff member, but the footsteps in the dormitory hallway were quite loud, which woke me up—that was a bit disappointing. There was a sign in the hallway asking people to walk quietly. It’s a small thing, but I’d appreciate it if you could be more considerate in the future.

    From Staff

    Thank you very much for staying at Hakuba Oike Sanso, and for choosing to stay with us again. We are delighted to hear that you enjoyed our meals and that you were able to start your hike feeling energized. Your high ratings for both breakfast and dinner are a great encouragement to all of our staff. On the other hand, we sincerely apologize that the sound of footsteps in the hallway around 4:00 a.m. disturbed your rest. We take your comments regarding our staff's conduct seriously and will make every effort to be more mindful of noise in the early morning, so that all guests can enjoy a more comfortable stay. As our mountain lodge is a wooden building, sound can travel more easily than in modern buildings. Nevertheless, we truly appreciate your feedback and will use it to help improve our operations. Thank you again for taking the time to share your valuable comments. We look forward to welcoming you back to Hakuba Oike Sanso.

    We really enjoyed this hut and we were well looked after by the staff. They made a huge effort to speak English to us which we appreciated. They were also able to give us trail conditions which was super important.
