The 10 best Japanese Pensions in Hakuba-mura, Japan

May 25, 2023 Lashaunda Abraham

Nestled in the Northern Japan Alps, Hakuba is all about the winter sports. A top ski and snowboarding destination, Hakuba has plenty of snow and nearly perfect powder. Spend the day swooshing down one of the areas 200+ trails, then end with an après ski at one of the area’s cozy pubs or cafes. Local mineral hot springs make great soaking spots for weary muscles.

Hakuba Panorama Hotel

There are not many hotels in Hakuba that tick all the boxes. We do! Located in the heart of town with walking access to many shops and restaurants, and a short walk to the main slopes of Hakuba’s main resort, Happo-one. Hot springs onsite Complimentary breakfast Stunning mountain views Free shuttles Hakuba Taproom, a wonderful restaurant with Japan’s best craft beer, and much much more!

Beautiful location and amazing restaurant.

Reviewed By ChrisNKoch

Did a super short one night vacation with my family and this place was great. I'm not into onsens, but it was nice to have it for my daughter and wife. They loved it. I loved the views in the morning. We came in on a rainy day, but the morning was incredible! The Hakuba valley area is gorgeous and the view from the room was nice to wake up to. As a previous Hilton and Marriott hotel staff, I was very happy to see the staff service on point. The front desk must have good communication with the kitchen staff because they knew I was coming, and my god the food was awesome. Even if I go back for a day trip to Hakuba, I'll hit up the Hakuba Taproom at the bottom of the hotel. The burgers were super satisfying, and the tacos were awesome. I only tried three of the beers they had (too full), but the beer selection was also good. Looks like craft beers from all over Japan. There's a patio area for eating and drinking, and there are activities mixed in. Convenient for my kids.

Hakuba Pension Meteor

Tsetsu is amazing!!

Reviewed By philgaser1

We have stayed 4 times with Tsetsu at Meteor. On our first visit my son broke his wrist and Tsetsu was amazing at looking after us and ensuring my son got the necessary medical care. We have always been impressed with his extraordinary customer service and hospitality. This year we didn’t even consider alternatives when we decided to return to Hakuba. Unfortunately due to a misunderstanding the cottage we got was not suitable. No problem Tsetsu arranged alternative accomodation and took us there to view it and then gave us time to pack before driving us there. This guy is amazing and I can’t more highly recommend him to anyone staying in Hakuba - we will be back. Thanks Tsetsu ?

Pension Ringo-no Ki

Best B&B Experience

Reviewed By charliemcmannes

If you are staying in the Hakuba area, I highly recommend staying at the Pension Ringo-No Ki! The owner and his wife were the kindest, most accommodating couple, that are there to help you with any need. Some highlights are: Delicious breakfast in the morning, outdoor & indoor spa, and a comfy/relaxing atmosphere- especially great after a long day on the slopes or just checking out the town. Many great restaurants within walking distance as well. My partner and I couldn’t have found a better place to stay! We will be back.

The Best Hospitality You'll Find in Hakuba

Reviewed By TonyT1487

Hakuba Ski-kan is an absolute gem of a place to stay. Takako and her family were incredibly hospitable, the location is closely located to the ski slopes and restaurants, and the accommodation itself is very charming and culturally immersive. If you want a true Japanese experience in the heart of Hakuba, I highly recommend Hakuba Ski-kan. Thank you Takako, Kuni and the rest of the staff!

Nice setting, comfortable accommodation

Reviewed By tbt_can

We stayed two nights in July. The rooms are clean and cozy. The tatami space with a separate bed space makes the stay comfortable. Many restaurants are nearby and a variety of foods are available. The service is mostly self-served. The common space has a microwave, coffee dripper, laundry washer/dryer. On the back, space for bbq is set. We like this hotel!

Pension Risuno Koya

fabulous dinner!

Reviewed By kopokopon

Small, but very nice and "your home like" pension. And fabulous dinner! Just excellent. It was 8500Yen include breakfast and dinner, I think it's worth to pay. I staid there from 30th Dec. to 1st Jan. so it was most expensive season. I strongly recommend this pension! 年末年始のスキーで2泊させて頂きました。2食込みで、30日は8500円、31日は9000円とこの時期としてはリーズナブルなお値段で、とにかく夕食が美味しかった!前菜、スープ、お魚、お肉、デザートとフルコースディナーで、どれも本当に美味しかったです。 私たちが泊まったお部屋は、ロフトつきの4ベッド。子どもはとても楽しんだようです。お風呂とトイレは共同ですが、全然問題なし。共同のお風呂は小さいですが温泉で、とてもあったまりました。 私たちが泊まったときは大雪だったので1回だけしか歩きませんでしたが、天気が良ければ白馬五竜スキー場までそう遠くなく、歩いていけます。 白馬五竜のゲレンデも良かったですし、また泊まりたいと思う宿でした。

Super host

Reviewed By ladychar05

We met Nanjo (host) who was very sweet and kind. He was always hapoy to help. The first day me and my son needed to go to the supermarket, he insisted to drop us off and even came back to pick us up after an hour. The breakfast there was cheap and yummy. And we enjoyed the private Onsen! On the day we left Nanjo gave us a bottle of wine as a token of our stay! Definitely will come back here again. And you cannot miss the sign!

We popped into the White Horse for a drink during our snowboarding holiday and had a really fun night and got to know Tony (the owner) and his staff. Everyone that works there is incredibly friendly, they provide amazing service & do whatever they can to make sure you're having a great time! Expert advice on the best ski hills too.
