Location was out of the way yet perfectly quiet. Train was only 10 min walk.

The innkeepers are a lovely elderly couple who went the extra mile to make the stay pleasant and comfortable. They kindly provided transport to and from the bus stop on check in and check out, and also have scheduled transport runs to the nearby Goryu ski fields.

Nothing! The stay was perfect.

I can’t write enough positive feedback about Inn Wataboshi. Tucked into the forest but just next to the ski resort, we really got the full Japanese experience with the best hotel hosts we’ve ever had. The couple who run the Inn couldn’t have been more helpful, with an excellent shuttle service to and from the very nearby slopes (walkable if needed), going above and beyond to help us get ski rentals and go to other resorts, and even packing us a picnic lunch when we left! The facilities were always absolutely spotless and the rooms where cozy, clean, and comfortable. The Inn is also close to lots of great restaurants but in a very quiet, residential area. We will recommend Inn Wataboshi to anyone coming to Hakuba- staying here truly made our stay an unforgettable experience.

Inn Wataboshi was a fantastic place to stay with amazing hosts. There is convenient transport to and from the location, you can walk to the ski lifts or get a shuttle up from the owners. The beds and facilities are comfortable and food was delicious. I couldnt ask for more gracious hosts, would stay again.

the place was clean and cozy. facilities and items were designed and placed purposefully to ensure that the entire stay was seamless - from the automatic lights/toilets, heater placed right outside the shower, to the small amenities. shower and bath were amazing and warm, perfect for winter. our hosts are exceptional!!! they ran the inn for many years and were very helpful and kind in giving us recommendation and helping us with the navigation even though we can’t quite speak japanese. we were very well taken care of by them. breakfast and dinner are available only if you let them know beforehand. free pickup/drop-off service is also available to and fro wataboshi and goryu escal plaza (only for specific period of time - let the hosts know beforehand if you need). our hosts were kind enough to drop us off at kamishiro train station on our last day early in the morning, and even gave us onigiri and apples to bring along our way. immensely grateful. 10/10 would come back here to stay if i were to come back to hakuba.

You don't get a towel with the room. You can rent one at the front desk which worked well but in the future I'll make sure to bring my own. Also in the shared accommodation showering times are only in the afternoon, the shower room seemed to be closed in the mornings.

The staff were very friendly and welcoming. They went above and beyond to help me out, picking me up from the train station and driving me to and from the slopes every day. Accommodation was also very clean. They also helped to organise a lift pass. The self serve coffee and tea station was nice too.

Let me start by saying that the staff were dear and kind throughout my stay. They were attentive to every question and request, helpful when providing information, and showed great kindness to me over the week I spent at Wataboshi Inn. The location is a 10 minute walk from the slopes, but has the added benefit of being in a quiet are surrounded by trees and other small inns and houses. My room was small, simple, and cozy in ways that surpassed my hopes. I had a great week of solitude and peace in the snow and evergreen trees. I recommend the Wataboshi Inn to anyone looking for a balance of action and quiet, or a mellow stay at a unique and comfy inn surrounded by mountains. 素敵な経験だった。亭主は優しすぎた。おすすめですよ！11/10❤️
