白馬高地酒店

Because it’s built on a hill with no obstructions, the open-air bath offered an amazing front-row view of the Northern Alps.However, since it was cloudy, we unfortunately couldn’t see the stars at night or the sunrise in the morning from the rooftop.We stayed for one night on our way back from Kamikochi, so we didn’t have much time to explore Hakuba, which was a bit disappointing.We’d definitely like to visit again.

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.
