    The check-in process was polite and smooth. Since it was a Friday, there weren’t many tents, so I was able to choose a comfortable spot. The scenery was magnificent, and it was quiet with no wind. I slept very well. I saw someone pitching a tent by the pond, but there was a “No Tents Beyond This Point” sign right in front of it, so I wonder if they were breaking the rules? Still, they were within the green rope boundary.

    From Staff

    Thank you very much for staying at the Hakuba Oike Sanso campsite. We are delighted to hear that you had a comfortable stay, slept well, and were satisfied with both the check-in process and the campsite. Thank you also for pointing out the tents near the lake. There are areas around the lakeshore where camping is prohibited, and your feedback will help us improve how we communicate these rules on site. We will continue working to provide a safe and comfortable environment where everyone can enjoy the campsite while respecting the rules. We look forward to welcoming you back to Hakuba Oike Sanso on your next visit to the Northern Alps.

    All the staff provided excellent customer service. In particular, the female staff member at the front desk was wonderful—she was polite and always had a smile on her face. Another female staff member spoke fluent English; I heard she practices conversational English with native speakers on social media late into the night, and I really admire her behind-the-scenes efforts. Thank you for keeping the facility and the bedding so clean. It would have been even better if there had been a shower.

    From Staff

    Thank you very much for staying at Hakuba Oike Sanso. We are delighted to hear your kind comments about our staff, especially the friendly service at the reception, as well as the cleanliness of our facilities. We will be sure to share your encouraging words with our team. Thank you also for your suggestion regarding shower facilities. While it is not something we can implement immediately, we truly appreciate your feedback and will take it into consideration for future improvements. We look forward to welcoming you again on your next mountain adventure.

    We set out in the rain that day, and the hike took longer than expected, so we didn’t arrive until around 6:00 PM. The staff were friendly and efficient, and they kindly provided us with helpful information about the next day’s weather and hiking distance. Both dinner and breakfast were satisfying, with generous portions and great flavor. Since we were the only group staying that night, the entire hut felt incredibly spacious, and the small drying room was able to accommodate all of our rain gear. The sleeping area was clean, the blankets were nice and thick, and the pillows were firm with just the right height. As is typical with most wooden mountain huts, footsteps from other guests can cause some vibrations and noise. Overall, however, we were highly satisfied. It is a wonderful and reassuring place to get a good night’s rest.

    From Staff

    Thank you very much for staying at Hakuba Oike Sanso. We hope you had a safe hike despite the rainy weather and the longer-than-expected journey. We are delighted to hear that you appreciated our staff's hospitality and enjoyed your dinner after your arrival. We are also glad that, with only your party staying that night, you were able to enjoy the spacious atmosphere of the lodge. Your kind comments about the clean room, comfortable bedding, and restful night's sleep mean a great deal to our team. As a traditional wooden mountain hut, some sound transmission is unavoidable, but we are very pleased to know that you still found it to be a peaceful and comfortable place to rest. We look forward to welcoming you back to Hakuba Oike Sanso on your next visit to the Japanese Alps.

    I stayed here in a tent on Saturday, June 27. The campground was very well-maintained, flat, and I slept very comfortably. The restrooms were also very clean. I wasn’t fit enough to climb Mt. Shōrenge this time, so I’d like to come back for another try.

    From Staff

    Thank you very much for staying at Hakuba Oike Sanso and for sharing your wonderful review. We are delighted to hear that you found our campsite, flat tent sites, and restroom facilities clean and comfortable, and that you had an enjoyable stay. Although you decided not to climb Mt. Renge this time, we hope you'll have the chance to challenge it on your next visit. We look forward to welcoming you back to Hakuba Oike Sanso for another memorable mountain adventure. Thank you again, and we hope to see you soon!

    Perhaps because the lodge was fully booked, our group shared a room with another couple, so it was quite cramped. Other than that, we were satisfied with both the service at check-in and the meals. We were blessed with good weather and enjoyed our first mountain hut stay. Thank you very much.

    From Staff

    During fully booked periods, we do our best to give every climber a safe place to stay, which sometimes means sharing a room and having less space than we would like We are glad the front desk service and meals met your expectations It is wonderful to hear you enjoyed your first hut-stay climb with such good weather We hope to welcome you back to the mountains of Hakuba, in the Japanese Alps

    Although the buildings at Oike Mountain Lodge are old, they’re kept very clean, which made for a pleasant stay. The restrooms were comfortable, too. It was helpful that we could bring our own drinking water. The meals were delicious, and overall, it was a comfortable stay. When we were leaving the lodge, the staff pointed out some things we should watch out for along the way. It’s always nice to receive that kind of thoughtful attention.

    From Staff

    We're glad to hear the thorough cleaning made for a pleasant stay. It's also good to know the toilet was comfortable and that being able to bring drinking water helped. We're happy you enjoyed the food as well. We're glad the advice about the trail conditions before your departure was useful. We hope to welcome you back to the mountains of Hakuba, in the Japanese Alps.

    I often smell feces, which makes me want to open the window, but if I don't, it gets too hot. I'm not sure if there's a way to solve this problem. Other than that, the food is delicious, and the staff are very friendly. Thank you for a wonderful stay.

    From Staff

    We're sorry the odor and ventilation made things uncomfortable for you. Some of this comes with the territory of a mountain hut at this altitude, so we can't promise an immediate fix, but we'll keep looking for ways to make your stay more comfortable. We're really glad you enjoyed the food and found our staff attentive. We hope to welcome you back to the mountains of Hakuba, in the Japanese Alps.

    We camped in a tent on a day with a thunderstorm. When the storm intensified overnight, you let us take shelter in the dining area, which was a huge help. Thank you very much. Next time, we’ll pay even closer attention to the weather. There was a great selection of drinks, including beer, “Daisetsukei” sake, and white wine, which we really enjoyed. The tent sites tend to get waterlogged, so please be careful on rainy days. Thank you very much for your hospitality.

    From Staff

    Camping through a thunderstorm must have been unsettling. We're glad we could offer you shelter in the dining space when it mattered. It's also great to hear you enjoyed the range of drinks we have on hand. Please do keep an eye out for pooling water at the tent sites on rainy days when you visit again. We hope to welcome you back to the mountains of Hakuba, in the Japanese Alps.

    I had already entered all the information for my traveling companions at the time of booking so we could check in right away, but I was disappointed that I had to go over everything from scratch at the front desk. However, since the place was fully booked that day, I realized it must have been quite a challenge to accommodate that many guests in such a remote mountain location. The weather was beautiful, the scenery was amazing, and we had a wonderful time. It would be nice if there were private rooms.

    From Staff

    We're sorry for the inconvenience of being asked again at the front desk even though you'd already entered your companions' information in advance. We ask for that information with each reservation, which is why the confirmation happens that way — we'll keep your feedback in mind as we think about how we communicate this. We appreciate your understanding of how demanding it can be to manage a full house in such a remote mountain location. Glad the weather cooperated and you got to enjoy the great views. We hope to welcome you back to the mountains of Hakuba, in the Japanese Alps.
