I guess it couldn't be helped since the season was almost over, but it was a shame that the beer was sold out.
From StaffThank you for camping with us, and we’re sorry we couldn’t offer you a beer to enjoy up in the mountains. Next time, we hope you can raise a cold one with us. We look forward to welcoming you back to the mountains of Hakuba, in the Japanese Alps.

I could tell that the floors in the hallways and passageways were clean and well-maintained.
From StaffWe are very happy you found the hallways and floors clean. It is a real encouragement for our daily cleaning. We hope to welcome you back to the mountains of Hakuba, in the Japanese Alps.

I was able to get some rest and prepare for the climb up Mt. Hakuba the next day. However, it was a shame that the signal for my wife’s Starlink was weak in my room, and that I couldn’t sleep soundly because of snoring at night. I always wonder if it would be possible to assign rooms based on self-reported snoring—but I suppose that might be difficult.
From StaffWe are glad you were able to rest well before your climb up Mt. Hakuba. We are sorry the Wi-Fi signal was weak in your room, as coverage can vary depending on the location in the hut. As for assigning rooms based on self-reported snoring, to be honest, it is difficult to put into practice given how busy we can be. Bringing earplugs may help you rest a little more easily. We hope to welcome you back to the mountains of Hakuba, in the Japanese Alps.

[Overall Impression] This is a mountain hut that’s rare these days—one focused primarily on the operators’ convenience, with little regard for hospitality. [Sleeping Arrangements] Each section sleeps six people. The mattresses—which appear to be custom-made and about shoulder-width—are so cramped that you’d think they could only fit five, even if everyone squeezed in. Although the sleeping areas are separated from the hallway by thin curtains, when someone walks down the hallway to use the restroom at night, the vibrations are felt, and the light from their headlamp shines in. Naturally, this makes for a restless night’s sleep. While I understand that the switch to a reservation-only system and the increase in lodging fees are the result of reducing occupancy limits to ensure space and prevent infections since the pandemic, this lodge has taken no infection prevention measures, yet its prices are on par with—or even higher than—those of lodges that have implemented such measures. [Store] Despite it being noon on the first day of a three-day weekend in October, they were reportedly out of canned beer. Even at noon, they close the curtains without any prior notice or signage and stop serving, so it’s unclear when you’re actually supposed to buy something. If you need to visit the store, I wish they’d consider posting a sign saying something like, “Please call out here.” [Meals] Both dinner and breakfast were delicious. During dinner, we were simply told that guests must arrive at the lodge by 4:00 PM. I heard there was someone who arrived at 4:30 p.m., but if it was just a reminder, wouldn’t it have been better to address that person directly? I understand the desire to issue a reminder, but since it was a once-in-a-lifetime dinner, I thought it would have been better to combine the reminder with a brief introduction to the mountain. [Facilities] It was a cozy, compact lodge, but it was kept very clean.

I really appreciated the free bottled water and hot water. When I woke up in the morning, the used toilet paper had already been taken away, so it was pleasant to use the restroom.
From StaffWe are glad the water and hot water were helpful during your stay, and it is a real encouragement for our staff to hear the toilets felt fresh and pleasant in the morning. We hope to welcome you back to the mountains of Hakuba, in the Japanese Alps.

It was a big help that they stored my luggage for me while I was hiking from Tsugaike to Funakoshi-no-Atama. I was also able to exchange various tips with other hikers. It was a bit of a shame that the windows were boarded up—since the mountain hut was about to close for the season—so I couldn’t see the view and it was quite dark inside.
From StaffWe’re glad holding your luggage helped on your round trip to Funakoshi-no-Kashira, and that you enjoyed exchanging information with fellow hikers, one of the special pleasures of mountain hut life. As the season draws to a close, we board up the windows to prepare the hut for heavy winter snow, so we’re sorry the views were limited and the rooms felt dark. We appreciate your understanding of these preparations for the harsh winter ahead. We hope to welcome you back to the mountains of Hakuba, in the Japanese Alps.
