하쿠바 하이랜드 호텔

The views are outstanding. The Onsen is spacious and includes an open-air bath; the spring water is a bit hot, so you can enjoy both. Meals are buffet-style, and the steak, soba noodles, and soft-serve ice cream were especially delicious. The Room is simple, and the bathroom area feels like a typical Business Hotel unit bath. I wanted a draft beer after the bath, but there was no such Facility in the lobby, so I bought canned beer from a vending machine. Satisfaction changes greatly depending on whether you can see the Northern Alps. I’d rate the facilities and Room as 3/5, but considering the price—about ¥30,000 on weekdays for two people with two meals—I’d give it 4/5 overall. With the Onsen and Northern Alps view, I was very satisfied. Choose a Room with a view on the 3rd floor or higher.

The snow-capped Hakuba mountain range looked stunning through the Hotel’s large windows—it was truly beautiful. Seasonally, there were still some cherry blossoms left, and petals were falling around the Hotel windows and throughout the nearby village, which made it feel like a wonderful place.Just one point. It seemed that the air conditioner had not been cleaned. When I turned it on, very dusty air blew out and I started coughing, so I gave up using it and slept with the window open. For future guests as well, I would appreciate it if you could clean and inspect the air conditioner. Other than that, it was a lovely stay and I would definitely like to visit again.
