Highly recommend! We had the best week-long stay here for snowboarding. Alan and his family were so kind and welcoming, they went above and beyond. We could not have had a better experience!Great facilities: there’s an onsen in the shower rooms which is perfect after a day in the snow. Also a living room to watch movies and play games during the evenings, all very warm and cosy. Breakfast was delicious every morning too. They have an equipment rental store down the road so gear hire was really convenient, with great prices. They also provide discount ski passes to Tsugaike. Free pick up and drop off to the mountains, and there is a shuttle bus just down the road into the town or straight to the main train station. We will definitely be back. Thank you Alan and family!

Alan is a great host and really takes care of you while you stay there. The location is right next to a bus shuttle, but you can enjoy the convenience of free direct lifts to the different ski resorts from Alan as well as pickups in the afternoon.The shower/onsen is amazing and a good way to end the day after skiing/snowboarding.The common area is very cozy and great to hang out and watch Netflix /play board games/switch/ps4.Alan’s wife cooks a great breakfast to kickstart the day too.

Nestled in the impressive mountain range of the Japanese Alps is where you’ll find nature & sanctuary at the Hotel Powder Republic. The service is exceptional, and the owners truly go above and beyond. The owner, Alan is an avid outdoorsy adventurer. His insights and knowledge of what to do and where to go is a wealth of information that ensures your experience in Hakuba is top notch. Since we didn’t have a car, Alan provided transportation for our arrival and departure. He also drove us to from trailhead hikes (added bonus). Alan delivers quality service for his guests and in general is a very nice gentleman. The kinda guy you want to go on a hike with, or snowboarding or just kick it at the pub.The Inn has good sized rooms that are clean and spacious. And the breakfasts were super delicious. Alan’s wife incorporated seasonal vegetables and fruits that made each meal special and flavorful. Thanks to the Hotel Powder Republic, my first trip to Hakuba was so memorable that I will return.
