I spent the best years of my life going to this guesthouse. From 2011 to 2015, every New Year passed there. The inn staff are super polite. I made friends with the daughter of the owner, Haruchan. I hope one day I can go back there again. For those looking for a place with good food and extremely high-quality service, this is the place.

It's the best pension!! ︎The owner and his wife were friendly and the food was delicious.From a Kyoto person's point of view, the breeze was pleasant even during the day, and at night it was a world of difference! ︎Thank you for staying with me for 4 nights and 5 days due to work, but I would like to go again! ︎

The food is great. It's also great to have your husband teach you how to ski.

This was an amazing introduction to Japanese hospitality. Mr and Mrs Suzuki were the most beautiful people, and Mrs Suzuki was an amazing cook, truly the food was the highlight of our trip. We stayed during the shoulder season so there wasn't a lot of snow left but the Suzuki's showed bondless hospitality which including calling his contact at the ski gear rental place which was closed (being off season) and driving us there and picking us up. Rooms are comfortable and decent. Location was a little harder to get to but Mr Suzuki is happy to pick you up (if pre-arranged). We definitely intend to come back.

I don't write reviews unless I am absolutely blown away by a place. Staying at the inn was the most amazing experience. The hospitality we received by Mr and Mrs Suzuki made us feel at home. …

I must say that this shared accommodation is by far one of the best I have had the privilege to stay in.The hosts is a lovely family and their daughter can speak English quite well (definitely well enough to answer any questions you might have).On top of that the breakfasts and Japanese dinners provided by them were beyond our expectations. I have never felt lacking after breakfast or dinner and even some other guests couldn't finish their meals.If I ever come to ski in Hakuba again. I will definitely be staying here. If I could give it 6 stars out of 5 I would
