My family and I traveled to hakuba on 24/10/2023 during the autumn leaves season. It's very beautiful here. The weather is good, not too cold. I chose to stay at wadano gateway. It was very nice. The rooms were big, new and clean. There was a kitchen in the room with various equipment that could actually be used. Breakfast had delicious pancakes. Everyone provides good service, smiles and communicates well in English. Parking is convenient and free.

It's very comfortable, but there's no bathtub, just a shower. Breakfast seemed like all you can eat bread.

We stayed for 2 nights in July. Parking available on site, rooms are extremely clean and well set up (we had a suite which had more than we needed!) Air con is strong so great for hot summer. Bikes free to rent and in good condition, breakfast included which was good - a set meal each day which you could opt out of, plus croissants, bread, cereals, fruit, coffee, tea, juice etc to forage from. Staff extremely friendly and helpful. Free washing machine, tumble dryer 100yen per 30 mins. Would definitely stay again.
