Great ski lodge with a friendly vibe - Brad, Patty and Akira were great hosts, helping us find places to eat and shuttling us to and from the town centre. Amenities are clean and comfortable. The location is in Echoland with easy access to shuttles and food/bars. Happo one is also walkable.

Loved this accomodation! We caught the bus to Happo one and called the hostel which came and picked us and our luggage up.The hostel team was so kind and gave up tips for ski mountains and food.It was only a 4 minute walk to eco land bus shuttle, which stops at all ski mountains.Breakfast was included and delicious!The space was clean, spacious and a great location. I would highly recommend this location and will be staying here again if I come back to Japan.The host dropped us to the bus shuttle on our last day and even gave us some Japanese snacks for our bus ride home.One of the best hostels I’ve stayed in.

Great hostel. Big area for ski gear storage and drying room. Good bar for guests. Very friendly caretakers who provide a free breakfast every morning and know the area well. Walking distance (15 min) to nakiyama chair on happo one. Very close to happo base camp bus depot for transfers and shuttle busses to ski hills. Lots of great food near by too
