Powdersuites — Local services in Hakuba

In a word: brilliant. So glad we stayed here. The photos do not do it justice – luxurious interior, great heating (floor and gas fireplace). Upon arrival at Hakuba Station we were greeted by Joel who drove us to Powder suites and briefed us on the property. The reaction of our usually hard to please 18 year old was “this is pretty flash!”||||We considered eating out during or 4 night stay but chose take-away instead in order to spend more time in our Powdersuite.||What was completely indispensable was the provision of a vehicle as part of our package: a Hiace van with snow tyres – brilliant (must have an international driving permit in order to drive). We saved so much time not having to catch a shuttle bus or taxi going to the different ski resorts and shops. And the van doubles as a ski storage! Hakuba is well spread out and walking around is not really an option unless you find somewhere ‘ski in ski out’. Saying that, Powdersuites are only about 600m from Hakuna47 and only a little further from Goryu – so well located.||My most enduring memory was waking up one skiing morning and preparing breakfast while looking at the snow tumbling down all around via the ample windows. The place also has a fully equipped kitchen, coffee pod machine, two bathrooms (so rare in Japan), drying room and we chose the option of a fold out sofa bed for our third child. The Hakuba Collection are also able to organise ski hire and lessons at a discount.||||Cannot recommend this place...

We were picked up and dropped off on time, the chalet was clean and modern and well appointed. The van is what makes this chalet great, being away from the Happo side and closer to 47 and Goryu, it's a very quiet location. being able to drive to the supermarket, restaurants and the different slopes in the Valley was great. I look forward to...

No expense spared to make this a very comfortable and relaxing stay. Even when we needed replacement wipers for the car Jason the owner sorted this within the hour. Great for us as a family as boys kept entertained with snowfun outside and we all chilled with a nightly dose of Netflix. Daily snowploughs kept roads clear in this lovely picturesque location. And the...
