Exceeded Our Expectations

10/03/2023
Our room - futons on a western mattress base
Morning view from our room
Plenty of space in the entrance way
Decent sized bathroom by Japanese standards
What a great little find! It was inexpensive so we had low expectations, and whilst it was dated and not modern or fancy, we were pleasantly surprised and it was very adequate for our needs. Whilst Happo has many westernised hotels and lodges, this was a nice little Japanese breath of fresh air.

ROOM
We stayed in a Japanese room. It had plenty of space within the tatami area as well as a roomy entrance area with a fridge and the handbasin, and the bathroom was a reasonable size (by Japanese standards).

We slept on futons on top of a western style mattress base, so it was incredibly comfortable, yet still felt like we were sleeping Japanese style.

The views from our room across to the slopes of Happo One Ski Resort were lovely.

LOCATION
It was a great location in a quiet laneway in central Happo. The bus stop was close by, as were the slopes, although we had a car and more importantly for us, the parking was just across the road from the inn.

In the evenings, there were lots of bars and restaurants within easy walking distance, and the food trucks were nearby for times when it was too hard to get into a restaurant.

FACILITIES & SERVICES
The host spoke a tiny bit of English, about the equivalent of the amount of Japanese that we speak! She was very happy to use her translation app and communication was fine.

We used the onsen baths in the basement. These were very small, but considering that accommodation in Hakuba with an onsen is hard to come by, we were still very appreciative to soak the tired muscles in the hot spring water.

The ryokan doesn’t have a lift, so carrying our luggage up and down the stairs was a little arduous but to be expected considering the economical pricing.

The wifi in our room wasn’t great and at times we had to pop out to the corridor to get something to upload or download.

MEALS
It seemed that due to the late re-opening of Japan post-Covid, they were limiting the number of guests and not doing meals so we can’t comment on this. We were happy just to do a simple convenience store coffee and breakfast at the Lawson close by.

We can highly recommend Resort Inn Seikan for those looking for affordable accommodation with private bathroom in a central location.
