THANK YOU!
You were such an incredible help in our planning for our ski trip to Japan in February. You were always quick to respond and seem to be able to answer all my questions. Because of your assistance with reservations and the information you provided we had a fantastic trip. I especially appreciate that you were able to offer lodging and ski passes when you were able to do so. This made some stays even easier. I also appreciated all the information you provided about transport/transfers, whether it was bus, taxi, train.
Hakkoda Resort Hotel was not my first choice in lodging for this area. But it actually was for the better that we stayed here as it is located within walking distance of the ropeway and chairlift for the ski area. We did not have a car, so to be this close was a definite bonus.
The staff was very kind and helpful. The front desk staff were able to answer questions about the ski area. The food servers were very attentive, pleasant and with a smile.
The room was clean and comfortable, with plenty of space for 2 people and our luggage. We loved the big comforters on the beds and the provided yukatas. It was nice to have a place to store our skis and gear.
The onsen area was clean. We definitely enjoyed our onsen time after skiing.
The food was delicious and we definitely got enough to eat. We liked the variety offered, even if we did not always know what everything was (we don't speak/read Japanese).
We had a great stay and would recommend staying there if you are there for skiing. We look forward to when we can return.
Again, thank you so much for all of your help. We appreciate it tremendously.
Sincerely,
Erika Bengston

The food and service are great -good enough ensen and so close to the lifts.
We will be back.

The rooms are adequate but have a big step into the bathroom. The food was totally Japanese and served at your table. Probably a Covid thing, but got a bit too much after 6 days. Not ski out with a decent hill to climb to the lifts. The resort is hard work unless you are fit, younger and strong.

Thank you for arranging our trip in Japan, your service was excellent.
I enjoyed Hakkoda skiing and both places we stayed at.
My concern with Hakkoda is the number of sight seeing tourists filling up the one and only rope tow (cable car) this created enormously long waiting times in between ski runs. Without another lift just for skiers to take to the top of the mountain I would not look to come back in the future.
Thank you

It was great! Above everything else I'd have to say the staff were fantastic. Great bunch of people who were so welcoming and friendly. They made our stay really enjoyable. Rooms were clean and serviced daily. Food was really good too. Overall, excellent stay. Will certainly recommend and hope to be back again next year.

Hakkoda Resort Hotel was as usual very good, the staff are always very welcoming and helpful. The evening meals are always beautifully presented and there are a range of options for breakfast.
Hisae at Japan Snow Accommodation as always arranged everything for us and everything went very smoothly. I highly recommend Hisae, she is one of the best travel agents out there.
Sorry we didn’t take many photos this year as it wasn’t the best season snow wise this time, it actually rained a couple of times, but we still had a good time.
Cheers
Annie
Unfortunately snow conditions at Hakkoda during our visit weren’t great. Back country was closed due to the icy conditions.
Skiing the trees was OK but limited but conditions on the main trail from the top of the roadway to the base were very hard and somewhat icy until lunchtime. Even though skiing was far from optimal the Resort Hotel continues to impress. Accomodation is clean and warm, food is outstanding and service excellent. New management are keen to improve the hotels offering.
15cm of fresh snow on our penultimate night provided some fun on our last day.
Thanks again for your assistance

We are back and we had a great time.
Hakkoda wasn't as good as it was last years, we had high winds and the ropeway was closed 6/10 days. However, we made the best out of it.
The service and food was excellent as always.
Thanks again.

Easy to get to with your directions, thank you
Great location.very comfortable
They do try very hard with lots of food samples. I prefer hearty meals as we had for lunch. Altogether very good.
They try hard to be friendl,y but once their English is not good enough, they shut out.

Ski Resort – The ski resort is very different than others. There is only one gondola that accesses two ski courses/runs. However, most people access backcountry from the top of the gondola. We did two backcountry tours with a guide and had a great time seeing the different parts of the mountain. The top of the gondola normally has white out conditions, but marks the two courses/runs with poles and signs. The snow is amazing in Hakkoda and the lack of crowds make it a great powder destination. I will be back to Hakkoda again, it is truly a special place!!!
Accommodations – We stayed at Hakkoda Resort for the second time. Breakfast, dinner and onsen are included in the cost. The onsen is small, but not normally crowded, and is still a great way to end the day after skiing. The meals at Hakkoda are amazing! Breakfast is served buffet style, but dinner is a pre-set meal that includes many dishes/courses. The staff is great too.
Japan Snow Accommodation –Hisae was great and very helpful when booking a 6 night, 2 resort ski tour in Japan. She helped book accommodations, guided tours and taxis. I would definitely recommend booking with Japan Snow Accommodations and especially Hisae!!
Thanks,
Stephanie

Hakkoda Resort Hotel was great- the staff were incredibly welcoming. Hakkoda was definitely my preference, more to explore on the mountain.

Well what a fantastic trip we had across the Tohoku region from Aomori into Iwate!
All 3 accommodations booked through Japan Snow Accommodations were superb and offered us different experiences.
We were a group of 4 travelling around the Tohoku region of Japan.
Hakkoda Resort Hotel – Excellent location, great skiing and snow but the ropeway can be wind affected, large relaxing onsen and the food spread each night was simply fantastic. What a unique place it is… and the staff couldn’t have been more helpful.
Aomori Springs Rockwood Hotel – What a beautiful setting and resort. Plenty of powder and skiing that could go into the night for an exceptional powder experience. The hotel was fantastic and was located right on the slopes with easy access and plenty of support amenities. An amazing inside and outside onsen could be enjoyed as the snow fell down around you. Stopping for a satisfying lunch at the ramen house was a highlight to look forward to each day. This place was a gem and worth the effort of getting too! The local Ajigasawa sake is pretty good as well.
Geto Camp 88 – How good is this place?! Yes you are in a large dorm and sharing facilities but it is a fantastic experience where everyone is there with the same appreciative and respectful attitude. Being right on the slopes, plenty of snow, good food and after skiing all day you’re in bed early because your exhausted and feeling great after a couple of beers or sake… it is simply a delight to be able to enjoy such a place. The communal areas allow you to relax whilst the inside and outside onsen are a marvellous place to soak up.
We did this mainly by train which, with a bit of preparation for options, was relatively easy to do and the Japanese people were very friendly, helpful and respectful throughout our travels. Thanks for helping us organise this and we really appreciated the service you provided. Skiing Japan is an adventure to be savoured and a privilege to experience. We’ll be back to all 3 places and more for sure!
Cheers

The ropeway was closed 2 of 4 days so my review was probably effected by that as well.
Pros:
- Excellent dinners
- Great, friendly service
- Convenient to Aomori
Cons
- Our room was at ground level facing directly into the car park so we had no privacy unless the blinds were shut
- Every morning they clear the car park for HOURS starting around 3-4am. The snow clearing tractor beeps loudly and constantly meaning we were woken and kept awake by this every single night through until breakfast
- They have a beautiful communal bar area but it was kept closed every night, this meant guests would socialize in their rooms. Walls offer very little sound deadening so we were kept awake most nights
- Being a tram which was originally designed for summer sight seeing rather than snow it is not ideally placed on the mountain, so fall line runs are quite short and each run requires quite a bit of traversing. In the past I understand the mountain was very quiet but that's no longer the case. Lines for the tram were long and the easily accessible runs tracked out quickly.
All that said - I enjoyed my visit there but doubt I would go back.

Your service was great. You arranged the hotel, guide, and transportation and everything was high quality and on time. The food at the hotel was fresh and very tasty. The staff was helpful. The facility was clean. My room was warm and comfortable. Hakkoda is a rustic ski area that requires a either a guide or local knowledge of the area. The guide you provided was knowledgeable, friendly, and prompt. And as you can see from the photos we had very good powder skiing!
Thank you again for arranging this.

Early Feb 2016 We left Hakkoda this morning and I would like to say that we had an excellent stay there. We lived Hakkoda for powder skiing, and we loved staying at Hakkoda Resort Hotel, warmest welcome, great rooms, great onsen, outstanding food! We definitely look forward to coming again next year!

We had a wonderful time at the Hakkoda Resort Hotel this past weekend. We enjoyed the Ropeway and skiing. The food was very good at the hotel. The rooms were also very nice. We had one complaint. The hotel allows smoking in the main lobby and upstairs in the sitting area. There is no place in the hotel to go and sit without sitting in smoke. That was very disappointing. Thank you again for your help in getting us this reservation. Nina Carr

We had an amazing time at hakkoda, the accommodation was great, simple rooms which were clean and warm and we loved the traditional feel of the hotel with large onsens, great japanese food and good hosts. Definitely good value. Easy to get to. Got good conditions and some adventurous skiing and exploring. Hardly saw anyone else once off the telecabine. Worthwhie using a guide for a day or two to get the lay of the land. One thing that was a negative was difficult to get back to the hotel if you take one of the longer routes that dont end at the bottom. E.g. at the onsen. Couldn't figure out how to arrange pick ups. Would definitely go back. .

Terrific hotel with a very calm and nice japanese touch to it. We loved the variety of food and good choice of sake. Superb hosts and great staff. Hakkoda as a mountain is very special. Not the steepest but with a good range of backcountry experience. Bring a guide if you want to access the more remote areas as you will need a shuttle service back to the ropeway. We didn't have any new snow but it's said to be one of the places where it snows heaviest in all of Japan (maybe the world?). Would love to visit both Hakkoda and Hakkoda Resort Hotel again. 5/5!

we had a terrific time visiting Hakkoda and the resort hotel. We were lucky to enjoy the mountain with clear blue skies and views were wonderful. I can also testify to the beautiful quality food that we enjoyed at the hotel. Most enjoyable. Thank you as well for organising the accommodation and transfers. As you know the Japanese trains work like clockwork and we were delighted to have our transfer waiting for us following our arrival. We have plenty of photos and some movie and will send to you a little later. Thanks again for you assistance.

We really enjoyed Hakkoda Resort Hotel. The staff were excellent. Friendly and helpful, with excellent English skills. I must apologise for my difficulties trying to speak Japanese. The location works very well. Close to the chair lift and a bit of a walk to the cable car. The public bus stop is reasonably close but fortunately we had a maxi taxi for travelling to and from Aomori. Evening banquets were superb. It was a varying treat each night. Breakfasts were substantial with western options. Like most places the choice cereals was limited. We had a western room, one of only 4 in the hotel. They are quite spacious but like most accommodation we have stayed at there was limited storage and hanging availability. One needs to live out of a suitcase. The onsens are generous and functional. No view or highlight but most satisfactory. There is not much around the Hakkoda base but we were there for the skiing and the mountain and weather treated us to some superb kona yuki skiing.

Hakkoda was FANTASTIC. The mountain was epic with the amounts of snow we got, sometimes even too much causing you to get stuck. also quite scary and disorientating when the weather comes in. GPS, snow shoes, whistles and powder boards/ skis are a must really on this mountain when the weather is bad.. In saying that, when you get your bearings, there are endless tree runs in almost every direction, and fresh tracks last all day! The accommodation was great, the staff were friendly, and the food was AMAZING! I have attached photos! thanks for all your help getting us there, you made it super easy and we will be heading back for sure!

As for your service, it was outstanding. You went out of your way to help me, even after my trip started. I will surely do business with you guys again. The hotel was great. The food was also amazing. But you have to be aware, this is a typically Japanese experience. Only thing though, there was some pretty heavy smoking going on in the hotel. This was problematic for me. But aside from the smoking, the hotel was super. Pretty much ski in/out. What can you ask more ?
Thanks for everything,

We really enjoyed our stay at Hakkoda. It snowed alot and the skiing was good. The lodge quiet, our room was clean and comfortable , the food was great and the small onsen a real treat after skiing. Smoking is allowed in the common areas in the lounge and we did not expect this, so the lounge smelt smokey.

Early January 2015 Thank you so much for all your help with organising Hakkoda Resort Hotel! You made it very easy in booking the accommodation and organising my return transfer to Aomori Airport. The hotel itself was amazing The food was simply to die for! The rooms were fantastic - always clean and well attended to. The staff always smiled and although they spoke little English, they always made the effort and appreciated when I attempted to speak Japanese! The onsen was clean and of course the snow was out of this world! Thanks again for helping me to organise this (being a solo traveller it can be a bit daunting) and I will definitely be back! Nick P

Love this place. I've been 5 times in the last 8 years. I have boarded every single major resort in Japan, and quite a few of the smaller ones, over the last 15 years, some of them multiple times, and Hakkoda is the best for untouched backcountry. The quieter backcountry routes within an hour's drive of Niseko (Hirafu) for example see more backcountry traffic per week, than Hakkoda sees per season in my guesstimation. Long untouched runs. Fabulous nature and views. The hotel is fabulous as always with extremely kind and helpful staff, and good Japanese food. If you are going backcountry get Simon to take you ... for his unparalled knowledge of the mountain, backcountry safety, local insight, and witty stories" The hotel was great as always. Only complaint is that my room was overlooking the carpark and the snowploughs woke me up very early every day ... but what to do !

Firstly your service was excellent. Prompt, efficient and helpful. Onto the mountain, I loved Hakkoda. It helped that it snowed both days, so the conditions were fantastic. Being fairly quiet without too many Westerners also added to the experience. Tram / lift tickets were very reasonably priced, as was lunch at the restaurant. As for the Resort Hotel, amazing ! The staff couldn’t have been more helpful or friendly. I liked the basement onsen, particularly the fact there was a hot & cold bath, the rooms were comfortable and the facilities in general were as expected. Dinner was a sensation every night. I just loved what was on offer. It was both a visual and a taste sensation and on reflection some of the best meals of my 3 week trip, and I went to some nice places. The only 2 small niggles were: - the rooms were incredibly hot at night, even with the radiator turned down. If I opened the window, the bleeping from the guy clearing the car park early in the morning was incredibly loud. - bus stop wasn’t that obvious. We waited outside the ropeway, only to discover we had missed the bus to Shin Aomori as it left from the peaked wooden huts 50 m away Hardly any major issues. Attached below are some holiday snaps

Let me start of by saying that your service at JSA was second to none. I meet many Australians whilst traveling in Japan and I mentioned your company and the great service to many of them. In regards to the holiday, it was fantastic. In regards to the Hokkoda Resort Hotel I would like to make the following comments Overall I was very happy with the hotel and would definitely book there again. The staff were all fantastic and very helpful. The rooms were adequate. The one huge surprise was the quality of the dinners at the hotel. The meals were spectacular and better than many of Melbourne's finest Japanese restaurants where you would pay well over $80 AUD for the same meal. The only negative comment I have in regards to the hotel was the state of the Onsen. The staff stated it was cleaned regularly but every days I could see things floating in the water. There was mould everywhere on the rook and walls. I visited many Onsens whilst in Japan and this one felt the least healthy. However, that did not distract from my enjoyment of the hotel. Trust that I will be using your services when I return to Japan next time.
Many thanks

We loved our stay!" The staff are extremely helpful and polite. The rooms are clean, have everything you need, and are comfortable and well presented. And the food is fantastic! The resort is at the base of the mountain, right by the lift and ropeway, this is a huge advantage for many reasons. The mountain is amazing. We got it on bad weather but sill had fun in deep powder and definitely want to return. The city of Aomori is not too far away and well worth an explore. Hakkoda has a lot to offer. Highly recommended.

The hotel was very well located, just a short walk from the two man chair and the ropeway(cable car). The hotel itself was very comfortable, the food was good and varied and the staff very helpful. A number of the staff spoke some English and certainly enough to help answer any questions. Our room was typical Japanese style, the heating controls were simple and the bedding very comfortable. There was ample storage for skis, boots and ski clothes, including a drying room, although the whole basement area was warm enough to hang jackets etc. As a skiing destination it lives up to its billing of having great powder and the snow monsters have to be seen to be believed(basically large fir trees encased in snow and ice).However in January the weather can be very cold with limited visibility at the top of the ropeway plus high winds. Whilst we were there it snowed every day and we tended to ski off the chairlift as there was ample variety, given the snow conditions, with some great tree skiing. Although the runs were relatively short. From the top of the mountain it is advisable to take a guide in bad visibility(most of the time whilst we were there!). The terrain can be quite tricky and it is very easy to end up in the wrong place and having to walk out, not easy in 100cm of fresh snow!

Wow - powderhounds said that this was powder country and they weren't wrong. The backcountry riding was fantastic. The weather was abysmal (apart from one day) but then that is the usual in the powder bowls of Japan. The hotel was this quaint little Japanese lodge with a full breakfast and traditional Japanese dinner. Every meal was an adventure. As is usual with the Japanese, the staff couldn't do enough for you. Nice onsen. I'm coming back next year ! Your service was excellent. Prompt and efficient.

The Hotel was very good and also the organization of the trip (traveling, cap, trains etc.) worked without a problem. Thank you for your help in this case" Unfortunately the weather was bad, so we couldn't really enjoy the deep powder and has also no good pictures.

The Hakkoda Resort Hotel is very well located a the base of the lift for the Hakkoda Ski Resort. "You can expect wonderful Japanese hospitality in a very remote location. The facility provides the basic hotel amenities with a fabulous Onsen. Do not be afraid to get a Japanese room if the western rooms are not available. The Japanese room includes a western toilet and sink in the room but the shower is downstairs at the Onsen. You sleep on a futon layed out over the delicat rice mat floor. This was not a problem. The dinner was excellent and the breakfast was adequate. It is mostly Japanese cuisine. Options are available for allergies other dietary needs. If you speak little or no Japanese, it s not a deterrent. We booked thru japansnowaccomodation.com and had excellent service from our representative,Hisae. Hisae was very helpful when we needed to rearrange our shuttle service. By the way, the snow here is amazing. There were a few disappointments about the hotel. The Wifi is poor when everyone wants to get on at night. Wifi is available in the lobby for free but there is also smoking allowed in the lobby.

The accom was fine" " little bit Faulty towers when it came to breakfast. Needs attention. Dinner was Ok and it would be good if they had a nice lounge area or bar to chill out in. One of the Aussi Guides that was there spruking in the lodge was a little annoying and spun us full of crap so as we would not find our way around the hill without using a guide. We nutted out the place and found all the exits they were using. Not a good PR person for the lodge. You guys were great thanks.

During my short stay at Hakkoda Resort, the staff was friendly and accomodating" "We stayed in a nice tatami room with private bathroom, but no shower. The complimentary onsen was very relaxing and helped soothe the muscles after a long day of shredding the powder on the mountain. Dinner and breakfast were a nice combination of western and Japanese food, very tasty and quite filling for a large man. The only odd thing about this hotel was the lock down at 10 pm, but there is not much going on for nightlife, so we didn't miss much. Thank you Hisae for making the arrangements at this nice hotel.

I only stayed two nights at the Hakkoda Resort Hotel, but it was definitely a good experience" "The location was great. Staff were friendly (though knowing a little Japanese will certainly come in handy). And the food was fantastic. The rooms were comfortable and clean. One thing that was difficult as a single traveler was the lack of other things to do when not snowboarding (i.e. not much for night life). I saw a bar when I was looking around the hotel, but it wasn't open. So unless you rented a car and can drive back into Aomori, you might be a little bored at night. Barring that though, the place was great and Hisae was very helpful in making all the accommodations and answering all the questions I had about transportation, etc.
