I stayed at Skala Inn in early March and caught some of the best snow days of the season. It was my first time back in Hakuba since my childhood and the hospitality at Skala was above and beyond.My husband and I really enjoyed this classic “pension” style inn for so many reasons but here are a list of the top 5:1. Super friendly family-run business. I really hope these small, family owned businesses can continue.2. The free shuttle that stops right in front of the Skala during the winter season that makes the stops in town and to all the mountains in the area.3. The overall vibe of Skala is just peaceful and full of warmth. The rooms were perfect and our bathroom was really spacious.4. Breakfast was great. They changed it up everyday for us and every morning it was a delight.5. Skala has this amazing collection of Azechi Umetaro prints.This is the sort of place you’d want to come back to year after year, whether solo traveling or with family. Can’t recommend it enough.

Excellent hotel, very cozy and homely. The owners are very willing to help in all matters, helped us rent equipment, and took us to the rental place. The hotel is located 4 minutes from the bus stop that takes you to the ski resorts. In the evening you can sit near the fireplace. In the morning, a delicious breakfast, we were very pleased. The room has everything you need, disposable brushes, soap, shampoo, conditioner. The only downside is that the pillows are not comfortable. You can walk to the street where you can have dinner. I highly recommend this hotel

Everything about our stay was incredibly convenient. The owners picked us up/dropped us off at the bus station and took us directly to the rental shop before arriving at the inn. The inn is a few steps from the free shuttle to the slopes and is less than a mile walk from the small “downtown” area with restaurants, coffee shops, and a convenience store.The hosts of the inn were incredibly helpful and kind, and the room itself was cozy and clean. My husband and I had a wonderful experience and would gladly stay again!
