Schole Hakuba

There is no service to speak of. But the staff are very enthusiastic. The transportation is very inconvenient, and there is no pick-up service. The nearest bus station needs to be booked and ticketed, otherwise you can't take the bus. It takes 2 kilometers to get to the tram station, and it is a mountain road. There is no taxi service, and no taxi will pass by. You can only call a taxi on Uber. It is just very close to the ski resort, which is suitable for people who like skiing. The outdoor room of the hot spring is very small, just two or three people can. The dinner is OK, but the quantity is not large. The breakfast is buffet style, normal, not bad.

The front desk service is excellent, very polite and thoughtful, kind and patient, and will patiently explain the conditions of the ski resort. The food is very good. There are many kinds of breakfast food. The soup is different every day. Dinner is added when you check in. There are rice, beef hot pot, and pig hot pot to choose from. All three taste first-class. The room is clean and well-organized, and the space is spacious. If you need towels, disinfectants, or paper towels, you can ask at the front desk and they will replace them immediately. The location is convenient, there is a ski equipment rental shop nearby, and the ski resort is only a few minutes' walk away. There is a place to store ski equipment in the hotel, which can be reached through the other main entrance. (But it’s a 30-minute walk from the nearest 7-11) The hotel has a hot spring sauna, and there just happened to be no one there several times I went there. The experience was very peaceful and quiet, which was great! Highly recommended!

Advantages: Good service attitude! There is an outdoor hot spring! Just a few minutes walk to Iwatake Ski Resort! Cons: Breakfast/dinner were very average! The room is small and there is no basic equipment such as a hair dryer! If you don’t have a car, it’s inconvenient! You need to drive to the nearest convenience store nearby! 

The hotel is close to the iwatake ski resort, but you have to take a shuttle to get anywhere else. Bus transportation is not very convenient

Although the hotel is small, the facilities are good. It has twin beds, a hot spring, and an open-air bath. It is located less than ten minutes from the station. However, there are no convenience stores or restaurants nearby. If you check in, please order in advance. The hostess of the hotel was very nice and reminded us that there would be enough people to check in today and it was best to avoid hot spring bathing during busy times. We forgot something and asked them to send it back via email and they all agreed to help.
