Hakuba Accommodation

The most common form of Hakuba accommodation is western style hotels with single beds (queen or king beds are a rarity) and there are also lots of Hakuba hotels where you can sleep on futons on the tatami flooring. Pensions (inns) are a cheaper form of Hakuba accommodation and these tend to offer simple Japanese or western-style rooms, often with shared bathrooms. Hakuba also has a small range of modern self-contained accommodation such as apartments and chalets. Budget accommodation in Hakuba comes in the form of several backpackers and lodges, and at the other end of the spectrum, luxury 5 star Hakuba hotels and lodgings are somewhat rare.

Your first decision is which village to stay in. This may depend on which ski resort you most want to readily access, or whether you want proximity to bars and restaurants, or ski-in ski-out accommodation. The most popular villages for international visitors are those near the Happo One Ski Resort: Wadano; Happo; and Echoland. The Goryu area is also gaining in popularity. Otherwise there is Iwatake, Tsugaike and Cortina – see the location tabs for the pros and cons of staying away from the main hub. NB A lot of the accommodation in Hakuba is very Japanese in nature (it is in Japan after all!). See the Japanese ski resort accommodation page for an overview of the types of lodging typically found at the ski resorts.
