Really loved staying here. We are a family of 6 and had the apartment upstairs. The bed’s were very comfortable and there was lots of space both in the apartment and the hotel. There is an upstairs lounge were you can relax and watch a movie, the downstairs restaurant and bar, the entry lounge with piano and kids toys, plus the onsen is great. It was just such an easy stay, we could actually relax and just focus on getting to the snow. Our ski hire was delivered and picked up and we were dropped off more or less at the ski lifts!! Sooo good.

Our 3rd visit to Hakuba and very sorry we hadn't found Tony and the team at White Horse before now!The location is spot on in a side street in the main village of Echoland and your only a short walk to the main street and all the bars/restaurants. But lots of new visitors don't always venture down side streets to the restaurant and bar at Whitehorse.Has a very local feel to dinner and drinks...like sitting with family and friends!The food served for breakfast is perfect and welcome before heading out in the free shuttle to whatever slope is your fancy for the day. My compliments for all the coffees I asked for to get my heart going in the morning!The guest room we had was bigger than normal for the area, with a lounge and space downstairs in the restaurant to catch up on a bit of work before hitting the slopes most mornings!We honestly wouldn't have left The White Horse and Hakuba if Tony hadn't had a big group booking coming in!

Tony, Chiharu, and crew were exceptional hosts, and made our stay comfortable and homely at the same time. The pick-ups and drop-offs at the slopes were a god-send, as we did not have to wait in the cold and jostle for seats on the minibus. The onsen offered a reprieve for tired muscles after a fun day of skiing.Thank you once again for the warm hospitality, Tony, Chiharu, and crew!

So good!!!We will be back!!
