Hotel Taigakukan is such a gem in Hakuba! It is right in the center of Happo and walking distance to the happo gondola and bus station for access to other resorts. The staff are beyond welcoming and accommodating- they helped me book a taxi and offered pick-up from the station on arrival. I booked the Western-style room Goryu for a private toilet and shower. It was very spacious and had a beautiful Mountain View- the western breakfast included was delicious! Cannot recommend this place enough!

I am not used to write review but I must do one for I feel indebted to the kindness of Taigakukan during and after my stay. I stayed in one of the Japanese style room which was comfortable and quite spacious for the three of us. The onsen is really great after a day riding on the slope. The French dinner and the Japanese breakfast were truly the highlights. Superb value for money for such great services. When I realised I had left my sb boots in the ski dry room after I checked out and arrived my next stop at Madarao, Taigakukan even helped me to arrange Yamato courrier services to my hotel in Madarao. I am truly grateful for their hospitality and assistance. A big thank you to Taigakukan. They are simply the best. And I will definitely come back again next time I visit Hakuba.

I enjoy coming here for a drink whenever I am in Hakuba. The place is really charming. The owner, Tetsuya-san, is very welcoming and has a lot of pride for his family business and their long history in Hakuba. I look forward to coming back for dinner next time!
