    It's so clean, you'd never guess it's a mountain lodge. The restrooms, in particular, are spotless, and any unpleasant odors have been significantly reduced. The Sky Plaza, the views, and the menu are all fantastic—it really makes you feel like you're living the high life.

    From Staff

    We are glad this hardly felt like a mountain hut to you. Thank you for noticing how clean the toilets were, right down to the reduction in odor. We are honored that the view and menu at Sky Plaza made you feel like you were treating yourself. Thank you for the photos as well. We hope to welcome you back to the mountains of Hakuba, in the Japanese Alps.

    It was so well-equipped for dining and living—and so thoroughly clean—that it was hard to believe we were high up in the mountains. ✨ We had a very comfortable stay. 😊 The four of us had plenty of space in our 8-tatami-mat private room. It was a big help being able to charge our cell phones in the room. Also, for breakfast at Sky Plaza, we were able to enjoy a leisurely meal starting at 5:30 a.m. without having to wait in line, and we were treated to complimentary coffee☕️ after the meal✨—a perk of having a private room, so we felt lucky😊 The restrooms and washrooms had been renovated and were very comfortable to use. However, some guests didn’t dry their hands after washing, so there were quite a few water droplets on the floor. I thought that if there were a mop or something similar, I could wipe them up as soon as I noticed. Please do provide a mop. I hope guests can work together to keep the place comfortable 😊 This is a mountain lodge I’d definitely like to stay at again if I get the chance ✨️

    From Staff

    We are glad the meals and cleanliness felt this thorough, even at such a high mountain location. It is wonderful that the four of you could enjoy the 8-tatami private room comfortably, and that charging your phone in the room came in handy. We are happy the coffee served after breakfast was a nice perk of staying in a private room. Thank you also for the kind words about the renovated toilets and washroom. We have taken note of your suggestion about keeping a mop nearby for water on the floor. Thank you for the photos as well. We hope to welcome you back to the mountains of Hakuba, in the Japanese Alps.

    ・This is a mountain lodge I’d love to visit again. ・The staff are highly professional. (Concise explanations, clear instructions, and efficient movements.) ・I recommend bringing your own sheet for bedtime. ・You can get seconds on the rice and miso soup.

    From Staff

    Hearing that you would like to visit again made us happy too. Thank you for the kind words about our staff being efficient with their explanations and movements. Your tip about bringing your own sheets should be useful for future guests. We are also glad you enjoyed the free refills of rice and miso soup. Thank you for the photos as well. We hope to welcome you back to the mountains of Hakuba, in the Japanese Alps.

    The staff were excellent. They even told us where to find the Shikotan grass. The room was decent for a mountain lodge, but as for the meals—both dinner and breakfast—even for a mountain lodge, they were a bit lacking. Compared to my limited experience staying at other mountain lodges in the past, I’d give this a lower rating. The boxed lunches were good, though. It seems they’ve focused on the Sky Plaza, and the mountain lodge cuisine feels a bit outdated.

    From Staff

    We are glad the staff service left a good impression. We hope pointing you toward the shikotan-so flowers was helpful, even in a small way. We take your comments about dinner and breakfast seriously, especially compared with other mountain huts you have visited. We are glad the boxed lunch met your expectations. Your thoughts on the difference between Sky Plaza and the regular hut meals will inform how we think about this going forward. Thank you for the photos as well.

    I stayed in a Western-style room in Building 3 for one night from August 5th to 6th. The staff were incredibly kind from check-in to check-out, and it completely soothed the fatigue from my hike. The draft beer at Sky Plaza was the best I’ve ever had in my life❗️ In the evening, when I looked out the window, I saw a parent and child ptarmigan playing at a stone wall construction site. They were so cute that I took a photo. The next morning was beautifully clear, and I was moved to see the sunrise❗️ The facility was spotlessly clean and felt very fresh. The restrooms even had Washlet toilets—they were so clean, I couldn’t believe I was in a mountain lodge. It’s a bit of a hike to get there, but I’d love to plan another trip. Thank you so much—I’m truly grateful.

    From Staff

    We are glad you had a relaxed stay in the Western-style room at Building 3. It means a lot that you felt well taken care of from check-in all the way through check-out. Hearing that the draft beer at Sky Plaza was the best of your life brought a smile to all of us. Spotting a family of ptarmigan from your window in the evening is a rare and special moment. We are also delighted that the clear sunrise the next morning left such an impression on you. Thank you for the kind words about how clean the facilities and toilets were, hardly what you expected from a mountain hut. Thank you for the photos as well. We hope to welcome you back to the mountains of Hakuba, in the Japanese Alps.

    Hakuba Mountain Lodge is exceptionally well-organized; the flow of 800 diners and their meal times are managed very smoothly, which is something worth learning from. Having hiked frequently in Taiwan, I can say that, by comparison, Japanese mountain huts are like paradise. Nature is incredibly therapeutic, and with the good weather adding to the experience, Hakuba Mountain Lodge was exceptionally beautiful.

    From Staff

    Thank you for noticing the flow and timing behind serving meals to 800 guests each day. Feedback like this, from someone who climbs mountains in Taiwan as well, means a great deal to our staff. Hearing that Hakuba Sanso stood out as special in your experience is truly encouraging. We hope to welcome you back to the mountains of Hakuba, in the Japanese Alps.

    I had a very comfortable stay at the mountain lodge. Once I’ve built up my stamina, I’d like to come back to Mt. Hakuba and stay at the Hakuba Mountain Lodge again.

    From Staff

    We are glad to hear you were comfortable during your stay. We look forward to welcoming you back once you have built up your strength for another climb up Mt. Shirouma. Thank you for the photo as well. We hope to welcome you back to the mountains of Hakuba, in the Japanese Alps.

    When I was having trouble with my sole coming loose, a staff member who overheard me kindly stepped in to help. I’m grateful to the on-site patrol officer for their assistance. I also received help from a woman at the front desk who had just finished her shift, and was able to take a commemorative photo that will be a treasured keepsake. Thank you very much.

    From Staff

    We're glad our staff could help promptly when your boot sole came apart. Thank you for reaching out to our on-site patrol as well. It's lovely to hear our front desk staff's help with the photo turned into a treasured keepsake for you. Thanks also for the photo. We hope to welcome you back to the mountains of Hakuba, in the Japanese Alps.

    Excellent stay at Hakuba Sanso. Staff were very friendly and helpful and the room was great. Also very grateful for an informative talk by the owner about the history of the hut. Would highly recommend.
