The owners were very kind and hospitable. We had gotten stuck in the snow and they came immediately to help us out of the snow and get it moving again. They also ensured that the snow was cleared every morning before we left so we would have an easy time leaving and returning to the property. The property is also located close to Happo and Echoland with plenty of food options. We had the pleasure of having the soba noodles at Nagomi-tei one of the lunch days and it was really delicious! On some mornings we were also lucky to see the owner preparing and chopping fresh soba noodles to be used for the day :)

Nothing, everything was amazing!

Fumico and her husband are the best hosts ever! They are so lovely and caring, they do everything to make you feel comfortable and enjoy your stay! The room was big, well equipped and spotless clean. The breakfast was varied, big and tasty, perfectly to set you off for a day of snowboarding or skiing. Their Soba restaurant is a gem. It was very good!!! The location is really good, out of the crowded tourist area but still a 5 min walking distance to the shuttle and Ecoland.. It was an amazing stay, thank you!!!!

Nothing, evening was perfect!

The location is fantastic. We were lucky to get some great snowfall whilst there.The staff are so incredible, the food is delicious so I would recommend booking for a soba dinner while there. Really great value for the area.

The only thing that might bother some is how hard the beds are. We have found it is very common in Japan to have very hard beds, so some people probably love this. For us it was a little bit uncomfortable, but honestly all of the benefits of our stay far outweigh this one negative.

I have no words to describe this place, will definitely come back. It’s a family business, so it’s very well maintained, clean and private. Door closes every night at midnight. The ground floor is a restaurant, opened only during couple days of the week. The hosts provide a laundry facility and a microwave for guest use. The property and the vibe there are amazing, the is food delicious, the soba is a must try. Breakfast is served if booked in advance. The owners are super lovely, very friendly and helpful. They were always around the restaurant. The 4 rooms are located on the second floor with a very decent size and well equiped with a tiny tv, drawers and hangers, one coffee table, two chairs and a mini fridge. The mattress is not very soft, but it’s exactly what you need after spending the day on the slopes. There is a gear storage attached to the house, were you can store your boards and boots. The place is 5 minutes walking from the main station were you can take any shuttle or travel bus. There is a convenience store and several restaurants in a short walk distance.

The accommodation is very well maintained and spotlessly clean. The room was pretty spacious with good storage & hanging space for wet gear. The room also has a private bathroom which was a bonus. Awesome mountain views. There is also a washing machine and microwave on the ground floor for guest use + a drying shed out back for your boots and boards/skis. Good location with a 5 min walk to Happo / 15 mins to Echoland. There’s also a good local onsen a few minutes’ walk away. There is a cosy little restaurant on the ground floor which serves a good hot breaky daily for only ¥1,300. The restaurant is also open Tuesday & Friday for dinner serving fantastic homemade soba dishes + awesome buckwheat ice-cream crepe dessert. The owners/hosts, Fumiko and Susumu were fantastic - really friendly, welcoming and super helpful which made our stay there all the more enjoyable. We also really appreciated their help arranging an extra night’s accommodation on a very busy weekend at such short notice, so we could squeeze in one last pow day. Can’t thank you enough!

The view from our bedroom window faced the ski hill, with fireworks on first night! Big open bedroom space for 3 people, able to control temperature in room. Cozy beds and blankets. Private dining experience in soba restaurant. Super close walk to either Happo town or Echoland for food. Owner always rushing out to clear the snow with his digger for an easy path to the ski shed! Kind friendly owners, always checked in morning and night to see how the snow was and how our day was going. We loved our one week stay here, make sure to watch the process of soba noodle making, it’s an art. Thank you for a wonderful week!

Ski shed heater turned off overnight, boots often a bit cold in morning.

Best value accommodation I’ve found in all Japan ski resorts. We got a spacious room with private bathroom and toilet! There was enough wardrobe space to unpack our large suitcases and hang up our ski gear + a mini dining table with cups, kettle and fridge so you could make a mini meal if you didn’t want to eat out that night! Happo bus terminal (the main bus terminal) was only 5min walk away - which made catching the bus to ski at a different ski resort for the day super easy! Happo-one village was also only 5min walk as well as a convenience store and plenty of restaurants, bars and onsens! Echoland was also only 15min walk away. We will be staying here on our next trip.

Amazing place to stay, we stayed for 6 nights and were able to walk to happo chair lifts, happo bus terminal to get to other mountains and also able to walk into echo land for dinners. Staff were amazing and extremely accommodating. Rooms were extremely clean and large, plenty of space to hang washing etc.

The hosts were exceptionally friendly, genuine and welcoming. They made our stay feel like a home away from home. They were more than happy to help with any questions before arrival and during our stay. The homemade soba was delicious - a must have during the stay! Great location; easy walk to Happo and easy to get the bus to other ski resorts. Would definitely return!

Spacious and comfortable rooms for 2. Great location - close to Nakiyama lifts, bus stop, Happo Village for food, Lawsons. Yummy breakfast and strong, punchy coffee. Very good Soba dinner set that comes with a must try unique buckwheat crepe dessert.

Soba dinner is only available 2 nights a week but is very delicious!
