Hakuba Snow Fox is the perfect blend of charm, quirk, and comfort that makes for an unforgettable stay. The building itself feels like a delightful step back to simpler times, with its quaint aesthetic and relaxing vibe. It’s simple, but spotlessly clean and incredibly cozy—a true retreat after a day on the slopes.
The breakfast? Quirky but undeniably good—a fun little adventure to start your day. And speaking of adventures, Eric, the owner, is an absolute gem. He’s like a human guidebook with insider tips on the best spots to visit, the easiest ways to get around, and all the local secrets that make Hakuba even more special.
The communal lounge is a highlight, offering a fantastic space to meet fellow travelers from all over the world. Whether you’re swapping stories, sharing a laugh, or planning your next outing, it’s the heart of the Snow Fox experience. The staff, many of whom live on-site, are just as wonderful. Qko and Amelie, in particular, were absolute stars—friendly, helpful, and always up for an interesting chat. They truly elevated our stay!
