A Forest Hideaway for True Food Lovers

A quiet auberge nestled in the lush forests at the foot of Hakuba in the Northern Alps. Surrounded by nature that changes with the seasons, you can enjoy a peaceful escape from everyday life. At the heart of your stay is French cuisine by Chef William Mahy, who has built over 30 years of experience around the world. Most recently, he served as Executive Chef of “Jing” at The Peninsula Beijing, where under his leadership the restaurant earned one Michelin star for five consecutive years. Savor each dish—blending his French Basque sensibility with seasonal Shinshu ingredients—paired with carefully selected wines. Each Room features a distinct design and character, and all Rooms are equipped with a Jacuzzi bath. With thoughtfully chosen amenities, we offer a relaxing time to gently unwind body and mind. Every afternoon, enjoy our free-flow service featuring local spirits, selected wines, and light snacks at your leisure. Sipping a glass in the stillness of the forest creates a sense of luxury unique to this place. Fine dining, wine, tranquility, and nature. In Hakuba—where every season brings its own charm—enjoy an unforgettable stay.

  • We had a wonderful time at Hotel La Neige.We held our wedding here last year, so we were delighted to be able to visit again after the renovation.The newly opened “Restaurant Seve by William Mahi” was truly outstanding. We were amazed to enjoy such beautifully presented, high-quality cuisine in the Japanese Alps!We would definitely love to stay here again when we visit Hakuba.

  • We chose the Junior Suite Room. My wife absolutely loved it—it was cute and spotless—and it made me very happy to see her so excited for the first time in a while. For dinner, we ordered the five-course menu. The waiter finished each dish at our table, and we kept wondering what would come next. We were especially amazed by how dramatically the final dessert transformed. Everything was delicious, and we truly enjoyed the experience. The staff were kind, polite, and very helpful. Thank you very much.

A Hotel Built in Harmony with the Forest

Hotel La Neige was founded in 1991 by Shinichi and Kazuko Shiojima. During the design process, each existing tree on the property was carefully surveyed, and construction proceeded with a commitment to preserving as many as possible. Even today, the surrounding forest remains a defining feature of the Hotel, creating a quiet, hideaway-like retreat where you can enjoy Hakuba’s seasons in peaceful seclusion.
