The property was in a good location very close to a bus stop and convenience store. The staff were helpful and friendly.

- Location is quite residential, kinda far from EchoLand, busiest area. - There are 2 or 3 restaurants at walking distance, but you will need to make reservation in advance during January - There is only 1 convenience store close-by. I recommend to rent car to move around

- Hosts are really nice people. They are communicative and they will make you feel like home. - Location is quite good if your interest is doing ski/snowboard. Bus stop is 3min walking distance. Very close to Happo and relatively close to Hakuba47. Rental car is also close and cheap.

Strict on the bathroom useage and lounge useage. You basically cannot relax here during the morning and early afternoon even if they are not cleaning anymore…

Very good location close to shuttle. Good value and comfortable beds

Short walk to echoland and restaurants, as well as a 7/11 very close. Shuttle bus stop just outside

The bed was typically hard, as I've generally found in Japan.

Friendly hosts, very obliging, lovely people although communication was a little difficult as little English spoken. However, this was never really an issue and good international sign language did the trick. A 7/11 Convenience store about 6 min walk was handy if you wanted supplies, or dinner if not eating out. They have hot water, microwave and a shared fridge, so you can sort yourself out cheaply if you want to.They don't do dinner but do offer a good breakfast which was 1200 JPY, pre order the night before. Convenient location, short walk to end of street for bus stop, which connects you to all the snow resorts and bus/jr stations etc. I really enjoyed the in house Japanese bathroom with tub, magic relax after a big day on the snow Great value for money and I can certainly recommend it.

Wifi could get a little weak in my room, which was on the further edge of the house.

Great location close to multiple shuttle bus stops. The rooms were mostly quiet, everything as expected. Owners were friendly and even explained the shuttle bus times.

Location of the place was quite far from the main street Echoland, around 10-20 minutes walk (depending on conditions of the street).

Pension Roku is run by a lovely, old Japanese couple, who mainly spoke Japanese with limited English understanding. They were very patient and took time to translate information on bus timings, routes and making reservations for restaurants close by. It was a 2-story building with reception, dining, lounge and drying room on the first floor, and rooms on the second floor. Came during a quiet time so it was not busy with other guests. Room space was adequate and we were able to keep our luggage open on the floor with enough space to walk. Room flooring was heated and hence made walking very comfortable in the rooms. Shower rooms on the first floor had a hot bath running, which was amazing in the winter.

Friendly staff, good location comfortable rooms

The mattress in my room was a little springy but I still slept pretty well

Great place to stay for those on a budget, right near the bus two either ends of the valley for skiing/boarding and usually the bus isn't full like it is once you pass happo-one. Couple who run the pension are helpful and kind, servicing your room to empty your bin and fill the hot water for tea each day. They also helped me get a taxi when leaving, and let me keep my ski bag in the dry room once id checked out so I could ski that afternoon. The tourmaline bath is a must try and helps you feel so relaxed at the start or end of each day. Would recommend!!

This place is more of a hostel than a hotel. Before coming here I had expectations of it being more like a hotel (if I misread before that’s my bad!). I also had never heard of a ‘pension’ place so I didn’t realize it would be similar to a home stay. I wasn’t too bothered however some things were really inconvenient. The shower room had set times of when we could use it including a cut off time at 10pm which was quite annoying on nights when we went nightskiing. We would have to rush back and have three minute showers to be respectful of the time. I wish I knew this before I booked. Same with the shared downstairs area. It has a Japanese style kettle and I wanted to access it but I was worried because of curfew. Again I didn’t want to be disrespectful but I wish I knew before booking because perhaps I wouldn’t have chosen this place. All that being said the couple were very very lovely.

The couple who owned the place were very lovely and kind.

Couple who ran it were really nice, it’s close to echoland for food and drinks in the evening. Other people staying there were fun.
