    Not only were the restrooms clean, but the kitchen area was also heated from early in the morning—the attention to detail was even better than before. I had a wonderful time there, and it’s now one of the lodges I’d love to stay at again. Thank you to all the staff! 😊

    Both the interior and exterior were tidy and clean. The room was peaceful, and I was able to rest well. The futon and the room were warm. The meals were delicious and well-balanced.

    This was my first time staying in a twin room, and I was very satisfied with how well-equipped it was—just like a hotel. Although it was off-season with few guests, the staff’s service was excellent. I visited during the same time of year last year and this year, and I definitely hope to return next year. Finally, I was surprised to see how clean the restrooms had become—you’d never guess we were up in the mountains. Restrooms are often a concern when staying at mountain huts, but I was very pleased with them this time.

    From Staff

    This was my first time visiting in June. Since it was before opening hours, I suppose it couldn’t be helped, but I was disappointed that the cake set wasn’t available yet. Still, I’m grateful for the delicious meal and the warm hospitality. They also held a lecture on alpine plants, making for a wonderful hiking trip. I understand that there are no restrooms at this time of year, but as a woman, it’s difficult to find a safe spot with stable footing where I can use a portable toilet, especially since I never know when someone else might show up. At Hakuba Oike Mountain Lodge, I asked a female staff member on the off chance if I could use the restroom, but she snapped at me, saying it wasn’t open yet—which completely ruined my good mood. Since the staff were chatting amiably among themselves, I was surprised by how harshly she spoke to me. I understand her point, but the staff members must use the restroom themselves, and since it’s a long hike, I think it would be fine to charge a fee and open at least the outdoor restroom. I realize that mountain huts play a vital role and their staff do difficult work, but I think the female staff member at Oike Mountain Lodge could stand to learn a bit more about customer service. Otherwise, it risks giving the impression that mountain huts are acting high and mighty.

    Since it’s a mountain lodge, the menu is limited, but the curry for dinner was even more delicious than I expected. I had three helpings. There weren’t many guests, so it was nice that two of us could share a private room. They started requiring a reservation deposit this year, but I feel that 3,000 yen is too much. I wish they’d at least lower it to around 1,000 yen. When the fee is high, it makes it harder to cancel, and I think there will be climbers who push themselves even in bad weather. (I don’t know if that was the reason, but in fact, the day before, there was a mountain accident involving climbers who were presumably planning to stay at the lodge on the Great Snowfield due to bad weather.) Also, due to the reservation deposit system, I find it difficult to make group reservations, whether for private rooms or shared rooms. (Even though the deposit can be carried over in case of a cancellation, there’s no guarantee that the same group—with the same number of people—will be able to visit next time.) I hope they’ll improve the reservation system.

    From Staff

    Thank you very much for staying at Hakuba Sanso and for taking the time to share your valuable feedback. We are delighted to hear that you enjoyed our curry dinner and even had three servings! Although our menu options are naturally limited due to the mountain environment, we always strive to provide meals that our guests can truly enjoy, and your kind words are a great encouragement to us. We also appreciate your comments regarding our reservation deposit system. The system was introduced to help reduce no-shows, especially during periods of bad weather, and to allow more guests the opportunity to stay with us. At the same time, we understand that there are situations where changes to group size or rebooking can be inconvenient. We will continue to improve our reservation system based on feedback from our guests so that it becomes easier and more convenient to use. We hope to welcome you back to Hakuba Sanso on your next visit to Mt. Hakuba. Our staff look forward to seeing you ag

    Since we visited on a weekday during a break in the rainy season, there weren’t many guests—including us—so we had plenty of space to do whatever we wanted. Everything was comfortable. We also got to hear from a staff member about the strong man who carried the giant boulder used for the directional sign at the summit, which helped expand our knowledge of the mountain. If I had to nitpick, the only downside was that the portion of rice in the bento lunch they prepared for us was a bit small for a big eater like me (lol).

    From Staff

    Thank you very much for staying at Hakuba Sanso and for sharing your kind review. We are delighted to hear that you enjoyed the peaceful atmosphere during a quieter period between the rainy days and had a relaxing time in the mountains. We are also pleased that conversations with our staff allowed you to learn more about the history of the mountains, including the story of the legendary porter who carried the large summit direction marker to the top. Thank you as well for your honest comment regarding the portion size of the rice in the lunch box. We will take your feedback into consideration as we continue to improve our services. We hope to welcome you back to Hakuba Sanso on your next visit to Mt. Hakuba. Our staff look forward to seeing you again. Thank you very much.

    The customer service was truly wonderful. I know there are all kinds of people—from experienced hikers to total newbies who aren’t used to the mountains—and with so many visitors from mainland China these days, I imagine it must be tough, but please keep up the great work. I guess it’s because you’re not yet fully open, but the dinner menu seemed a bit smaller than what was featured in the magazine (lol). I was so happy to meet the legendary Mr. Nakagawa from Karamatsu Sanso—he’s always so kind! Thank you for your hospitality.
