Mount Hakuba is a mountain I was invited to climb 50 years ago by some senior colleagues at work, but I had to turn it down because I was too busy with work. This time, my wife and I came together, and we were able to fully enjoy the autumn foliage under clear skies, the majestic sight of the Three Peaks of Hakuba, and the magnificent views of the distant mountains. I’ve climbed 65 of Japan’s 100 Famous Mountains, but this is a mountain I’d definitely like to visit again. The rugged nature of the ascent and descent of Mt. Hakuba-Norikura is not suited for us older folks, which is truly a shame. Also, when my wife was suffering from stomach pain in the evening, a female staff member gave her some medicine, and she was back to normal by the next morning. Thank you so much. Everyone! Please stay healthy and keep up the good work next year.
From StaffTo finally reach Mt. Hakuba after fifty years, and with your wife by your side under clear skies, autumn colors and the three peaks of Hakuba all around you — reading your words truly warmed our hearts. Hearing that, after climbing 65 of Japan’s 100 Famous Mountains, this is one you want to return to means a great deal to all of us. The trail on the Mt. Hakuba-Norikura side has long stretches of large rocks, and we can imagine how demanding it felt; next time, we hope you can take it at an unhurried pace. We were so relieved to hear your wife was feeling well again by the next morning. Thank you also for your kind words of encouragement — we hope you both stay well and come back to the mountains of Hakuba, in the Japanese Alps, again next year.

The location on the shores of Hakuba Oike is absolutely magnificent. However, since it’s a small facility, there’s nowhere to escape to after evening, and when the rooms are fully booked, it can be a bit stressful. As is true of all properties in the Hakuba-kan Group, I’m truly grateful that the restrooms are very clean and odor-free. As for the food, this is true of mountain lodges in general: there’s such a huge gap compared to modern urban dining habits that—while it might have been acceptable in the Showa era—it’s honestly unbearable for guests who have made gastronomic tourism their life’s work. I have absolutely no qualms about paying extra, so I believe offering a separate dining menu—distinct from the standard options—would help attract a new customer base.
From StaffThank you for staying with us. We’re glad you enjoyed our lakeside setting on Hakuba Oike and the cleanliness of our toilets. At the same time, we’re sorry that the crowded conditions on a full night and our meals did not meet your expectations. Thank you also for your specific suggestions regarding the menu, which we will take into consideration going forward. We hope to have the chance to welcome you back to the mountains of Hakuba, in the Japanese Alps.

I stayed here in a tent. The restrooms were spacious and easy to use. The staff were very kind. When I asked about the extension fee for leaving my luggage there, they said, “I don’t think the campground will be crowded tomorrow, so it’s okay if you stay a little longer than scheduled!” They also told me not to rush and to be careful not to get hurt. I had a very comfortable stay.
From StaffThank you for staying at our campsite. We’re happy you found the toilets and our staff’s assistance comfortable and welcoming. Please note that flexibility on timing for leaving gear may not always be possible depending on how busy the site is that day, but above all, we’re glad you could enjoy the mountains safely. We hope to welcome you back to the mountains of Hakuba, in the Japanese Alps.

Since it was right before the lodge closed for the season, the store’s inventory was running low, and the staff were all rushing around and very busy—thank you for taking such good care of us. Once again, I’ve truly come to appreciate just how challenging the environment at a mountain lodge can be, and I’m grateful for the staff’s hospitality and for having a lodge where I can stay with peace of mind. I’ll definitely be back.
From StaffThank you for your warm words, even during our busy final days before closing for the season. It means so much that you sensed the challenges of the mountain environment, and still found ours a place where you could stay with peace of mind. We look forward to welcoming you back to the mountains of Hakuba, in the Japanese Alps, next season.

I used this service to reserve a campsite this time. I really appreciated the system that allows you to reschedule your reservation rather than incurring a cancellation fee for that day. Since I’d prefer to avoid hiking if possible when I know it’s going to rain—as the risk of getting lost or injured increases—I think this system is excellent. I also support the cancellation fee and advance payment policies. When considering the mountain huts’ revenue, I support charging appropriate fees. Given the need to maintain the huts and restrooms and pay the staff, I think this system is a good one. Since I don’t stay in the huts myself, this is strictly the opinion of a tent camper.
From StaffThank you for staying at our campsite, and for your thoughtful words about our flexible rescheduling system. Being able to adjust your plans around the weather and put safety first is something we value deeply as well. We’re truly encouraged that you took the time to consider what goes into running a mountain hut. We hope you’ll choose a fine day and come back to the mountains of Hakuba, in the Japanese Alps.

Even though the place was fully booked and they were very busy, they handled even the smallest details with great care. The bathroom and washroom were clean and comfortable. I was surprised by how powerful the heater was that warmed the room at night, but as it got late and the temperature gradually dropped, I thought, “Ah, I see!” and understood why. Also, I had to change my reservation several times due to the weather. I really appreciate this system. Thank you for taking such good care of us in every way. Thank you very much.
Even on such a busy, fully booked day, we’re so glad you had a comfortable stay. It sounds like the powerful stove and the deepening chill of the night gave you a true taste of an evening up high at Oike. We’re also happy our flexible booking changes came in handy with the weather, and we hope to welcome you back to the mountains of Hakuba, in the Japanese Alps.
