Hotel Omachi dengan Tempat Letak Kereta

雪による高速道路の通行止めがあり、一時はたどり着けないのでは？と思いましたが、一般道で2倍以上の時間がかかりましたが、何とか夕食に間に合いました。スタッフの方々が心配してくれていて出迎えてくれた事がとてもうれしかったです。 食事も品数多く、ボリュームも充分でした。 お風呂も広く、雪中露天風呂に入れたので最高でした！

I was pleasantly surprised by the hotel’s unique structure. Moreover, the restaurant serves a different menu for breakfast and dinner every day, which was a wonderful surprise for us.

ที่พักค่อนข้างเก่า ในห้องพักฮิตเตอร์จากแอร์แทบจะช่วยไม่ได้ หนาวมากเราไปมาช่วงต้นๆมีนาคม ตอนอุณหภูมิเลข1ตัวไม่ได้ติดลบเหมือนหน้าหนาว ห้องน้ำสะอาดแยกโซนชัดเจน ออนเซนตอนเราไปคือน้ำมีแค่ครึ่งน่อง😅ต้องตักอาบ ที่พักห่างจากแหล่งสกีและห้างร้านต่างๆแค่20-30นาที ไม่ไกลทางดี แค่มืดมากกกตอนกลางคืนไม่มีไฟเหมือนเป็นเส้นทางชนบท ทั้งๆที่ห่างกันออกมาจากนอกเมืองนิดเดียว

White Hotel Grand Hakuba is located up in the mountains, about a 30-minute drive from the main town area (Hakuba Station / Happo Bus Terminal). This is perfect for those who, like me, prefer a peaceful and more secluded environment. The hotel provides a daily shuttle service between the hotel, Hakuba Station, and Lion Café, which is conveniently located next to Happo Bus Terminal. There’s no need to worry about being “stuck” in the mountains—just remember to reserve your shuttle seats in advance. The room interiors and the surrounding scenery are beautiful—words can’t fully describe it; it’s something you really have to experience for yourself. One of the biggest highlights is the ski-in, ski-out convenience. You can start skiing or snowboarding right outside the hotel. I chose this location mainly for its easy access to snowboarding, as we were beginners and wanted a less crowded place to learn. The view from the top of the slope was magnificent—you could even see the lake. The staff are very friendly, helpful, and warm. There are several English-speaking staff members, both Japanese and non-Japanese, which made communication easy. We had both breakfast and dinner at the in-house restaurant, and the meals were good and satisfying. The onsen is free to use in the morning. In the evening, it is available for private use at an additional charge, which I felt was well worth it. Overall, I would definitely come back again. Highly recommended.

I’ve stayed at many ryokans throughout my travels—often making up half of each trip—but this one felt a bit different. It seemed to be run by just one person, who I assume is the owner. Everything was self-service, which might be understandable considering it was the most affordable option among the ryokans in the area. Most amenities required an extra fee, such as towels. Payment was made by dropping coins into a basket and making your own change, which wasn’t very convenient—especially since I didn’t carry much cash. One thing I appreciated was the luggage delivery service. I was able to leave my bag at the lobby before check-out and have it sent to Toyama Station (for about 4,000 JPY, cash only). What stood out was the creativity in the shared spaces. There were several common rooms designed for relaxing and spending time—perfect if you’re traveling with friends. You could play ping pong, read books, watch TV, or use the canteen, which had a microwave and dishes available. They even had coin-operated massage chairs and a small fitness room. However, I must mention two important downsides: 1. Limited nearby dining options – Many restaurants shown as open on Google Maps were actually closed. The only one that was open had extremely slow service—I waited nearly an hour for dinner. 2. Insects—large ones – Unfortunately, I encountered big insects in my room, which made it hard to sleep. (He even provided insect-catch tape for me while introduce the room) I stayed awake most of the night, worrying it might come back—especially stressful since I had to get up early the next morning to catch a bus to Ogizawa. Minds you, stairs only, need to carry your luggage down by yourself. Overall, while it offers good value for the area and has unique communal features, this ryokan may not suit travelers who prefer full service, cashless payment, or guaranteed comfort.

着いた日が、雨だったのですが、寒くなく、個室で落ち着いて眠れました。シャワーが、もう少し湯量が出たらありがたいけど、まあまあです。登山のための前泊としては良いと思います。スタッフ？の方も優しく丁寧に説明してもらい、安心感がありました。 信濃大町は、インスタでフォローしてて来たかった町でした。

I had a wonderful time relaxing at this onsen after the Tateyama Kurobe Alpine Route. It was very clean and quiet, and the staff were friendly and attentive. There was a tea ceremony set in the room. The dinner and breakfast (kaiseki) were delicious!

It’s just a guesthouse but everything was clean. The only thing is there’s no key to lock the door. No towel and amenities all be given. I think the area is too safe hence the owner thinks no keys neededi

It's a lovely place, very helpful staffs, very yummy meals and very comfortable to stay.😊
