    I stayed in a shared room. Since it was an off-peak day in the 8-person room, I was able to leave one bed empty between me and the person next to me. The facility was clean, and the restrooms were especially spotless. I was happy that I could get a second helping of the curry served for dinner. For breakfast, I opted for a bento box. It contained vinegared rice similar to chirashi sushi, with salmon, umeboshi, and pickles. Eating it after an early morning hike helped replenish my salt levels, and it was delicious. I was able to use PayPay to purchase my mountain badge. It was also helpful that I could buy boiled water at a low price. (Water from the vending machine cost 700 yen.) The staff at the mountain lodge were cheerful and made me feel very welcome. Thank you very much.

    From Staff

    We are glad that even in the eight-person room, having space to spare on either side made for a comfortable stay. Thank you also for the kind words about how clean the facilities and toilets were. We are happy you enjoyed the curry at dinner enough to go back for seconds. It is wonderful that the boxed breakfast, with salmon, pickled plum, and pickles, hit the spot after an early start. We are glad that being able to pay by PayPay for the mountain badge, and to buy boiled water, added convenience to your trip. Thank you for describing our staff as warm and welcoming. Thank you for the photos as well. We hope to welcome you back to the mountains of Hakuba, in the Japanese Alps.

    The staff at the front desk and gift shop were very friendly, which made me feel right at home. The curry for dinner was a little on the sweet side for someone like me who likes spicy food, but it was simmered to perfection and tasted great. The miso soup was just what my body needed after walking so much and working up a sweat. The restrooms were clean, too, so I was very satisfied.

    From Staff

    We are glad the staff at the front desk and shop came across as warm and welcoming. As someone who prefers spicier curry, ours may have been a touch milder than expected, but we are happy the long-simmered flavor still came through. The miso soup hitting the spot after a sweaty day on the trail is exactly the kind of moment we hope to offer. Thank you for the photo as well. We hope to welcome you back to the mountains of Hakuba, in the Japanese Alps.

    I stayed at Goryu Mountain Lodge. The restrooms seemed to have been renovated and were very clean, and I appreciated that we could get seconds of the curry served for dinner. I was also surprised to find that the charging facilities for smartphones were so well-equipped—there were outlets in every room, and they were even available to tent campers and travelers just passing through.

    From Staff

    We're glad you noticed the renovated, cleaner restroom. Glad you enjoyed the curry at dinner enough to go back for seconds too. As for the phone charging setup, we've made it available not just in the rooms but for tent campers and those just passing through as well. Thank you for noticing details like that. Thanks also for the photos. We hope to welcome you back to the mountains of Hakuba, in the Japanese Alps.

    Each room in the large dormitory was equipped with a charging outlet. A poster with safety precautions for using portable chargers was posted at the entrance to the dormitory, and I thought it was probably because it’s safer to use the outlets rather than risk a fire caused by cheap portable chargers.

    From Staff

    We're glad you noticed the charging outlets we've set up in the shared rooms. Thank you for taking an interest in the notice about mobile battery use as well. We'll keep looking for ways to help everyone stay safe and comfortable. Thanks also for the photo. We hope to welcome you back to the mountains of Hakuba, in the Japanese Alps.

    Dinner and breakfast were both delicious. The rice was on the softer side, which is just how I like it.

    From Staff

    We're glad both dinner and breakfast were to your liking, and that the rice had just the softness you enjoy. Thanks also for the photo. We hope to welcome you back to the mountains of Hakuba, in the Japanese Alps.

    Considering it was a mountain hut, the rooms and restrooms were very clean. For dinner, they served curry with unlimited refills, and it was delicious. There’s no bath, but since huts on ridgelines generally don’t have one, this is to be expected.

    We're happy to hear the room and restroom were clean and comfortable, and glad you enjoyed the curry at dinner enough to go back for seconds. Thanks also for the photos. We hope to welcome you back to the mountains of Hakuba, in the Japanese Alps.

    First, on the positive side, many of the staff members were smiling and provided service that really made me happy. I was pleasantly surprised to find that I could enjoy curry and rice at an altitude of 2,500 meters, and the building was clean overall—I was especially shocked to find a Washlet in the restroom. On the downside, since I stayed in a silkworm-rearing rack, I knew I shouldn’t expect too much—but even so, I found it difficult to cope with the fact that there was almost no place to put my luggage and the sleeping space was only about the size of a semi-single bed. That said, overall, I think Goryu Sanso was a wonderful mountain lodge that made me genuinely want to stay there again.

    From Staff

    Thank you for mentioning how our staff's smiles made for such a welcoming experience. We're glad the curry rice at 2,500 meters and the washlet toilet came as such pleasant surprises. Thank you for the photos as well. As for the limited space for luggage and sleeping on the shelf-style bunks, we understand that comes with the format, but we still take your comment to heart and will keep it in mind going forward. Hearing that you'd still love to stay again means a great deal to us. We hope to welcome you back to the mountains of Hakuba, in the Japanese Alps.

    I used it while camping in a tent. The wind was so strong that I had a hard time falling asleep. I’ve decided that next time there’s a strong wind, I’ll stay in a mountain hut instead.

    From Staff

    Camping in strong winds sounds like a tough night. Thank you for the photo as well — it really captures the view from your tent. We'd love for you to try staying in the lodge next time. We hope to welcome you back to the mountains of Hakuba, in the Japanese Alps.

    The room was cleaner than the other cabins, but the sleeping area was small. The bathroom was the cleanest one I’ve seen so far, which was great.

    From Staff

    Thank you for staying at Goryu Sanso. Glad you found the room cleaner compared to other lodges. Also happy to hear you thought the toilets were the cleanest you'd seen so far. Thank you for the photo too. We hope to see you again in the mountains of Hakuba, in the Japanese Alps.

    I heard it was renovated last year, and the restrooms and dining hall were really clean. It was great that the sleeping areas were spacious. I was also happy that they accepted credit cards. There was a small kitchenette where we could use the stove to cook our own meals, which was a huge help. I was able to get one of those classic “I Love Mountains, I Love Sunny Days” T-shirts, so the trip was definitely worth it!

    From Staff

    Thank you for staying at Goryu Sanso. Glad you found the toilets and dining hall so clean after last year's renovation. Also happy to hear the sleeping area felt spacious and that you were able to pay by credit card. Glad the self-catering room, small as it is, came in handy. And great that you managed to grab the Love Mountains, Love Sunny Days T-shirt too. Thank you for the photo too. We hope to see you again in the mountains of Hakuba, in the Japanese Alps.
