You can relax. The owner is also a very nice person. N gauge is amazing. The N Gauge night view, which only guests staying overnight can experience, was the best.

I stayed there during Golden Week.The front desk seems to be open from 8:00, so we recommend that you complete the accommodation procedures upon arrival.The cottage is surrounded by railroad tracks, making it an irresistible place for railway enthusiasts. Since the entire building was reserved, we didn't have to worry about the kids getting angry.I went with a plan to cook for myself. The kitchen was fully stocked with cooking utensils and tableware. It's in a hanging cabinet or drawer, so we recommend opening it and checking it. I thought I didn't have a big plate, but it was in the cupboard above me.I drink a lot of coffee, so I bought a drip pack, and they provided a coffee maker, coffee, and filter, and I was able to get some delicious coffee.The sofa in the living room was great.I was worried about the bed since I usually sleep on a futon, but it was okay because it had casters and I could put the two beds together.There are only 6 guest rooms, so everything was relaxing without being crowded.There are several types of forest railways, and once you choose the one you like, the staff will quickly replace it for you so you can ride it.It was also fun to be able to drive by myself. Must be a junior high school student or older to drive. I thought it would be great if even elementary school students could drive with the support of their parents.It felt good to run through the fresh green forest.Driving the HO gauge at night, which is exclusive to hotel guests, was a private experience that is hard to experience. There was also a trick that was unique to the night, so I enjoyed it.All the staff were kind and responsive, and I would like to come back again.

This was probably one of the best accommodations I have stayed in out of all trips I've ever done. It's walking distance to the biggest town in Hakuba (restaurants, combini, onsen) and Happo One gondola... But you don't even need that because the lovely owner offers to drive you anywhere you want to go between 8am - 8pm! Location aside, the cottage was so cosy and purely made of wood. Very aesthetic inside and out. Very very well warmed with a heated floor and very comfy lay back single couches. Even comes with a mini air fryer type appliance to crisp up those combini pastries for breakfast! Please stay here, it'll be the best choice you make on your ski trip.

We had a wonderful stay here for our time in Hakuba! The cottage itself was clean and cozy. The staff were all very friendly and helpful. We relied heavily on the transfer they provided so we did text a lot to the manager Toshi for scheduling the shuttle service and asking many questions since this was our first time skiing in Hakuba, and Toshi was always very patient and provided us detailed information. I also highly recommend booking their private bath!
