Ski Resorts in Otari

I was initially skeptical about staying at Tsugaike seeing how the "main" resorts Happo-one and Hakuba 47 are quite a distance away. However, Hai Lodge was everything that previous reviewers had said. Tsugaike is a wonderful resort with many different terrains that would satisfy most people. The place was very well-maintained and clean. Josh and Victoria were wonderful hosts. Overall, I enjoyed my stay at Hai Lodge and will definitely stay again next time!

Everything exceeded expectations. Spacious, warm, great location at incredible ski slopes, good kitchen and bathroom, comfortable beds. The host was incredible and helped us with everything. We couldn’t have wished for more.

We recently stayed at this beautiful mountain cabin with our family and had a fantastic time. The cabin was very cozy and welcoming, with a lovely attic that our 6-year-old daughters absolutely loved. The rooms were simple but had everything we needed, including tissue boxes in each room. The bathrooms were clean and well-equipped, and we particularly enjoyed the large wooden-clad bathroom. The kitchen was amazing and had all the equipment we needed, including cutlery, dishware and cookware, and also salt, pepper, olive oil, soy sauce and other cooking items. It was also quite spacious and had an XXL European-style dishwasher, which meant we only had to run it once every two days. The dining table was huge and ideal for families or groups of up to 7-8 friends. The living room had several sofas, a bookshelf with board games and some books (in English), and a very large flat-screen TV with streaming services like Netflix. Despite the cabin being located in the middle of the snow, the heating worked perfectly, and we always felt comfortable. There was also a wood-burning stove in the living room, although we didn't get to use it. The beds were comfortable and warm, and the Wi-Fi worked well, although it did fail one day. The owner was very friendly and helpful, and when we reported the Wi-Fi issue, he came over immediately to fix it. The owner went above and beyond to make our stay enjoyable. He picked us up from the train station and accompanied us to the supermarket to buy somre groceries. After check-out, he also took us to send our luggage and accompanied us back to the train station. He even lent us a car while we stayed, which we used to go to a ski resort for a day. Although the cabin was not cheap, we found that the quality-price ratio was good. We highly recommend this beautiful cabin to anyone looking for a relaxing mountain getaway with family or friends.

the dinner are delicious, near enough to bus station and gondola

We are 2 adults and a teenager stayling in a 2-storey family room. The room is very clean, spacious, and comfortable. The dinner was a hotpot set which was delicious. The hosts provided useful information of the nearby ski resorts and the transportation ways to us. They are nice and friendly. There is a cozy space for our lazy-bone time after dinner. A free hot bath with an outdoor snow view through the window is also the unique feature. The location is just beside the base slope of the Tsugaike ski resort where you can easily ski-in and out. In general, I would certainly recommend this lodge for others.

Our hosts were amazing! They were so accommodating and flexible, trying extremely hard to please. The place is clean and simple - a short walk from Tsukaige gondolas but free shuttles are available from Pension Kobekko. We had to reserve dinner a day ahead to give them time to prepare the set menu - and hold on to our seats during the 5 course meal... it was "simply divine".to quote my wife Would recommend to all. Closest gondola offers exceptional access for beginners and some runs for more confident skiers. Other ski resorts a short bus ride away offers more serious sking. Everything required to ski or snowboard is available to rent on the spot. Thanks for having us

The family home feel with outstanding hospitality. Nothing a problem always happy to help. On demand shuttle Meals were amazing. Location stunning
